Hi,
I'm interested in understanding different types of ways people hack windows computers and also hacking people using the internet in general. Why? Because then I also understand what security measures are good to keep in mind
for myself. I've not been very good with security in the past but I want to grasp the concepts and have a visual image of what's going on. I learn mainly from youtube and Love finding someone who gives a "big" instead of just throwing
words like "kernel Hook" "Dll injection" without really having a visual image of how it looks, what i need to understand about windows to understand HOOK etc.

It's nice to know that the BIOS can be hacked, and that no antivirus program will remove it, this helps me see the point of bios updates and not letting any person
slip a USB device into my pc.

Any good recommendations for youtube videos or beginner-friendly websites on this topic for a beginner?
 
Try a search for white hat hacking, Defcon conference. and then follow the breadcrumbs they offer. Should get you started.
 
You don't really need to know how hacking is done per say to be secure. You'd be better off starting with system security tutorials, if that is your end goal.
