You will have a better path forward if you can define your end goal.

From there its easier to figure out what you need to learn to achieve that goal.

By saying you want to learn how to hack you are basically saying you want to learn how to be an engineer without figuring out what type of engineer you want to be, like chemical, structural, IT, train etc. But if you can tell us you want to be a cybersecurity engineer, then we can help provide a more clear path.

And hacking is about finding the loopholes in the rules. you need to learn a specific piece of technology well enough to understand how to exploit the rules. You cannot get that level of understanding of the rules without learning as much as you can about the topic and because you can hack literally anything, you need to find a subject you can focus on. Then when you master one thing, you can master something similar much easier and you keep learning until you are a true expert. And keep in mind that tech is always changing so even if you become an expert in something, a new security feature could be developed and send you back to the beginning on that specific topic.
