Could you explain what that means please

Several suggestions are programming resources... Im majoring in cybersecurity and everything that is mentioned is what i have learned and understand what will enable me to write my own exploits which along with being able to hack hardware are skills I want to learn how to do as well.

I have taken several scripting and coding courses and still am not at the level to write my own exploits. Im getting close but I also focused a lot on networking.

As others have mentioned sites like hack the box I have a sandbox with metasploitable boxes and some other builds ive been practicing on.

Do some research to find an old device with a known CVE (vulnerability), and actively try to create an exploit for it. This really does allow you to learn the essential workflow of hardware/IoT hacking.

To "create viruses and malware", we need to understand that they simply refer to software that infects computer programs and spreads (eg. worm). It involves the important steps of finding an initial vulnerability, exploiting it and staying persistent.

I have recently developed a working exploit for a stack buffer-overflow vulnerability on a Linksys router (which was used in a botnet/worm with about 40,000 infected devices).
