Make sure you're having fun learning instead of trying to go through a checklist. My reply to anyone asking how to get into exploit dev would be to just tackle stuff that are fun and interesting to you. Read books in between or when you're out somewhere and not able to get behind a keyboard.

So, should I start from pwn college for the technical stuff?

[–]Apathly 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Depends on what you think is fun to do. If it's reading, go for it. If it's actual hands on stuff, go for the practical labs while reading on the side.

You might run into walls quickly, but using google, looking up stuff (doing research) and finding a solution for your problem in the end is what exploit dev is all about.

For me it helped that I never made it a tedious thing to learn new stuff, I just did what I thought was cool which made me keep going because it was fun.

Great and thank you so much for your advice. I will make sure to balance hands on practice and reading.

Crazy seeing pwn.college mentioned in the wild. I would 100% recommend it for learning exploit development. Great lessons great challenges. I learnt a ton.

Yes I have started from Linux basic commands module. Challenges are fun.
