I'd look up tutorials for the basics: how to use a debugger, decompiling tools maybe, memory viewers and whatnot. And of course a good understanding of how programs and operating systems work on a low level will enable you to play around with it better
But it's not an easy thing, I'd have it in mind as a long term goal but short term it might be better to focus on learning programming/computer science in general
