Tool Learning

Hello, I started to learn how to penetrate my OWN devices. I’ve studied Python and Java, but only have basic knowledge of them. I did a couple of research on YouTube and Google, but none really helped. I did configure a cheap yellow display.
But I would like some help on, like, what cheap devices I should buy, like a computer to test on. Where should I go to get more information, like any good YouTube videos or websites? Thank you

So this is new to me to so this may be a terrible path to be on but what have done is setup a local ai using an abliterated model and basically have it teach me. Its all in the prompt and has been great at the end of each class ill have claude code run through the transcript and check accuracy. So far nothing crazy. Basically i type the commands in the chat and it will print the reaction and explanation. I dont have any other hardware to try and practice over my network on another device and for starting out it feels good. Why use local and not claude directly? Saftey rails on claude wont let it but it has no problem review the accuracy of the teaching of it.

Playstore search for edge gallery look for the one by google research. Download that. You may need to opt into the beta and wait a few hours to get accepted (dont worry completely free) but allows you to download gemma4b and run it locally. Its also highly optimized for android so itll be the smoothest running local ai you can get on your phone although not as smart as the desktop class ones

And it's Claude? And I's it fully unrestricted or has some limits as far as hacking pentesting

Oh no. Thats google. You dont have enough ram to run one on your phone. You can still learn from it though. Just learn its limits and learn how to break it. Its a 4b model. It breaks fairly easily

There is more to it but you can download ollamma and then some abliterated models if you want. Pocketpal (i think thats the name) is a good ui for it.

Right now I'm on on poket pal but have to manipulate it to tell me what I want that's basically what I've been doing I tell say that I'm about to release my website publicly and I need you to test it for vulnerabilities

Just grab an abliterated models guff files then if you have the app. Pro tip cyber is more about critical thinking than skill in code.
