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.

What kind of hacking do you want to do? Hardware, reverse engineering, Red Teaming, application analysis.

All of those require similar but different skill sets. What you do for Red Teaming is slightly different to IoT hacking.

I want to focus mainly on grey hat stuff. Based on that which hacking category should I choose and where can I find resource to learn them?

What you are likely look for is penetration testing or offensive security. I would use those as your search key phrase.
