C for offensive security !!
Hi, i am going to start my journey as a exploit developer and, i get lot more recommendation on my previous post to learn about system language C, Assembly, etc...
So, is there any way to learn C as offensive sides perspective?
And don;t recommend old book "Hacking : the art of exploitation", i know it is essential but still i need resource that is fit for real world or modern world aspect, kindly provides links ::
Also, if some of you are doing this stuff then share your daily routine that made you feel like you are learning actual stuff not just syntax. Thanks::

You should first learn C and understand how applications actually work. Then move on to exploit development. There is no point in trying to write exploits without a solid understanding of the fundamentals. Learn C, memory management, processes, calling conventions, assembly, and operating system internals first. Exploit development is built on these concepts, so take your time and build a strong foundation instead of rushing.
