Beginner's Corner / Re: I am looking for guidance (And possibly a friend :) )

This may sound obvious but with anything in life you will only get to those higher more advanced levels by immersing yourself in teh skill and breaking down to understand everything about it. Once you can do that you can then build up new concepts and tools based on that core low level understanding.. and you never stop learning.
The key is to keep trying until you get it, and if it seems to big and difficult break it down to smaller parts and understand those.
Don't spend money.. you can learn everything for free with a bit of hard work and patience (nothing is done overnight).
Don't expect people to do it for you, and don't aim for this, you need to learn for yourself. People can guide you but you are the one who has to put in the hard work (they have already done that to get to where they are).
My key advice is rather than asking how to 'hack' which is a HUGE topic, break it down into something you are interested in. One tool, or one technique, and master that. Then move to the next. Once you have enough bits you can then put it all together to achieve new things.
With regards to kali, that is great if you want a pre-configured, point and click type system (which is useful for some things) but any linux build is just as good (however you may need to install and configure things yourself, which teaches you more). I prefer Ubuntu most of the time but also use Kali for new things.
Hope this helps and if you have more specific questions about specific topics I'd be happy to help further.
