He has two tumors on his heart. With that sentence you can see down the road. Make A Wish will not touch this because I guess it's it is illegal just to be a hacker for good or some bs. I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way. I keep searching for good hackers but it seems like they have that rep of bad. Please help....Posting this in different communities to help out btw so don't get jealous. Much love to all.

I'm no hacker, but I program off and on. If you're searching for hacking advice and hitting a dead end because of reputation stuff, look up "white hat hacking". White hat hackers are ethical hackers who look for weaknesses in software and security so they can patch defenses before people with bad intentions find them.

How does one go about white hacking? Or learn how to do it from the base level? Is there a website like the kaanacademy or whatever?

Again, I'm not a good resource here, but I this seems like a decent start.

u/Zedd00 also suggested TryHackMe which seems to also be a good resource: https://tryhackme.com/

I've had decent luck with Udemy courses if you can find decent reviews and don't mind paying a little, too. Those got my foot in the door programming pretty quickly.
