i think the idea of "hacking" is cool, but how do you even get into that? Like, I can decipher a basic HTML page and set up a router from the store, but how do I hack?

learn how poo poo is put together and then make it work differently than the person that put it together intended

or just install Kali and metasploit and play with tutorials on your own VMs then get a pen test job
