Recently I started to be interested in how code actually work. I do a for-loop or an if-statement but how do they actually work at the lowest level.

Another thing I've been interested in is security. I thought about learning how to hack my own systems in order to learn how to write more secure code and keep people out. But I'm a little afraid that as soon as I start look at how to hack, the police will storm through the window and take my computer 😂😂

    Hacking is not illegal if you hack your own Hardware.

    @stop yeah, I thought as much. Just need to convince others of my true intentions. I'm guessing people can be unsure if I start to hack? Even if it's my own hardware.

    Even if "they" bring you to the court. As long you dont "steal" software and its your hardware(or the owner gave you the permission) you are innocent.
    An unrealistic example: I hack into my homeserver because I forgotten the password.

    @stop perhaps I overthink it. Maybe going to court is a little far fetched 😊

    Write basic c code. Set compiler to not optimize code. Compile it and debug it with inline asm instructions. You will see how c translates to asm.
    And you can learn how loops are implemented, function prologue, epilouge and how stack management works.

    It's far fetched but it comes from good intentions
    I'm currently deep into security as well specially working with malware atm, I have a few VM setup so I can test the effects of what I'm coding /finding / copy pasting from Internet on those without too much worry

    First things first: assembly. Use an assembly emulator and write simple things in it, that will teach you about how the basics work.
