r/HowToHack

I want to prank my friend who’s connected to my home WiFi and shut his laptop using windows ip scanner

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?
