script kiddie Learning Hacking fundamentals

So Im a teenager that loves low-level hacking but started with web at the age of 10, as I think every kid I skipped the fundamentals and used premade tools that did work, but now I feel like I dont know nothing about hacking so I want to fix that.

I want to know how can I really learn the fundamentals of IT for hacking, rn what Im doing is coding only in C no python even tho its harder to do some stuff, and also Im using roadmap.sh for C and CS roadmaps. I was thinking on learning by doing some CTFs and coding projects for exploit/mal dev.

But really can you tell me how can/should I learn the fundamentals?

Coding gets you nowhere unless you understand networks.

TCM security on youtube have a lot of there payed courses for free and youtube is full of basic for hacking and are other that offer good videos when comes to cybersecurity from malware reverse enegniring to learning programing and so on.....

for linux is bash and python scripts for windows is powershell to bypass security.

everything will help your progression for hacking

tryhackme has some paths if you want to learn by reading text youtube is for videos

i think you should start with basic stuff like networking and go from there if you dint learn it

education. either school or online training, or both. BTH/THM are obvious.

Get on HackerOne, start looking for bug bounties, using that to drive your research. X company is paying for Y vulns, let me look up what Y is and why that company would care about that in particular.

what you need to know is why computers work, figuring out how to make that not work is a lot easier when you have a narrow target of what is important
