This is the community for all things hacking and cybersecurity, try keeping it legal. That said I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens/comes from this group but I will try being the best mod that I can to prevent anything from happening.

I really don't know how to explain but hacking is difficult to understand. Like I watched tutorials on Youtube, took courses and read many books but still I feel like I know nothing. Watching Mr Robot and other documentation made feel even worse, you might say Mr Robot doesn't portray the real world but the documentation do. Like this video I was completely baffled at how I didn't have a single clue how they did it what techniques they used.

After all that though, I don't want to give up on hacking, I want to learn more advanced stuff. If you have an recommendations please dm me or comment.

Sorry for my bad english learning to write too.

You shouldn't learn hacking, you should learn lots upon lots about what you want to hack and think how to make it do what you want it to i.e give you shell. I would start with networking. There's awesome book by Don Colton about it, and it's free.

ahhh man, networking is a fun rabbithole to go down. especially once you hit packet analysis, that shit goes hard.

Writing program that use "raw sockets" is fun, like your own ping program.
