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.

Find your niche, something you understand well and like at the same time. It might be few CVEs, few services, some interesting scheme from hacking forums. Take it, practice it in testing environment, evaluate it then hunt for real targets. When you start getting targets pwned you will feel good and it will give you motivation to proceed further. You can take something from "Top 10 exploits" google search query, most of them are simple and vulnerable machines can be found online
