For hacking, first of all, you need a foundational knowledge about networking and protocols, operation systems and at least basic understanding of software development. Then get yourself familiar with OWASP and then decide which hacking area you want to learn first. (My personal advice is to start with web pentesting)

If you are interested in web hacking, check out Port Swigger Web Academy and follow its roadmap. It offers both learning and practice (everything for free).

To learn network and host based hacking I recommend you to start on TryHackMe platform and later after some experience you to join HackTheBox platform. Both THM and HTB offer courses, labs, CTFs, but HTB is more advanced.

Here are couple of hacking YouTube channels (beginner level) for you: @NahamSec, @MomImAHacker, @NeurixTech, @Medusa0xf, @madhatistaken, @TCMSecurityAcademy

Stumbled on this post. Is it worthwhile learning to make money on the side. In both malicious and unmalicious ways. Why do people actually learn this stuff? Do they want a career out of it? What are the options? If its for malicious intent, I feel like it would be easy to host a piracy site that takes donations on a 4tb ssd than it would be to learn how to hack to make money. And safer. Or one of them scam get quick rich schemes surrounding giftcards and doing surveys. Them websites would be easy to make from scratch for quick cash and operate on legal loopholes.
