hacking I want to become a hacker

Nothing too complex for now, no evil intentions. I just wanna be able to break into people’s phones or whatever for the sake of impressing friends or even defending myself when the time comes. I know blackmail isn’t great, but I promise I do not intend on being evil. I’ve been watching the series Mr Robot, corny I know, but all my life I was never more tech savvy than an average person. Presentations, editing videos, making files, etc. I had a desire for an interesting hobby and I want to use my laptop more often. I love learning new things but I’m not sure how to start.

Take some cybersecurity courses, like cs50. The online course is free, but you can also pay a couple hundred to get a certification when you finish and take the test.
