So I’m new to hacking and I want to keep learning and I’m wondering where do I start to learn way more and get really good over time like can I spin up a vulnerability machine and hack it because I have done that before?

Just felt like this was good place to ask my question as someone probably on here will give he the answer i was looking forward to seeing.

If you want free VMs on your own computer, vulnhub.com is a good place to start. Then there's OWASP Juice Shop for web hacking.

do you ever spin up any vulnerable machine and just hack it just to learn on your side?

I have Windows7 for that. I have some kind of vulnerable by design image, not sure but like DVWA.

As a matter of fact there are no starting point in learning. But for me, the best place to start is learning to how to become a developer in order for you to learn how to start with hacking. Even the most basic knowledge is essential, you don't have to become a master developer in order to learn how to hack. You will in the long run.

Play wargames. Honestly.. OverTheWire wargames are amazing at teaching you many things. They range from basic linux/shell command, server side vulnerability to "hardcore" reverse engineering and debugging. You really need to be comfortable using linux systems and OTW games teach you that. They are fun, interactive and they teach you a ton. Also, they don't provide any material, only hints at commands you'll need to solve the level, so in a sense they teach also to search information for youself, and not relying on preinstalled scripts.
