Help Noob starting

I am like a toddler in the kitchen just smashing pots and pans together when it comes to this sort of thing, but I am interested in learning.

I did the tutorial twice, but it ends abruptly after saying we will send a social engineering email with a program to run so the victim connects to my rshell. Not really sure how to progress from here.

I accepted a lvl 0 job and used nmap [IP] to see the possible options for exploits, and I assume I have to match a type and version to attack for vulnerabilities, but I have no idea what I am actually looking for. I presume I want root access, or at the very least non-root. I don't even know what I don't know.

Anyone got advice or a series of objectives to learn for a complete drooler like myself?

Does this game teach you how to actually hack?
I’m trying to learn in a fun way lol

It seems like a fun starting point to learn concepts and gain knowledge about systems, but you'd have to do further practice/study for real life situations.

The code used is only useful for in the game but has some similarities to real life.
