A good updated book to start and learn hacking in 2022.
EDIT: I have a half-intermediate knowledge of linux due to installing Arch and Gentoo.

it depends what you want to learn... Basically and enough concepts to begin, The art of exploitation. If you want to learn a specific topic, e.g. reverse engineering, you can learn with Secrets of reverse engineering, or Learning Linux binary analysis.

I have all these except the CEH (which shouldn't be on this list lol...) and they're all pretty good in their own way. Starting over, I'd go through hacker playbook while reading through the art of exploitation. You'll be pretty rounded at this point, blackhat python and metasploit will be a breeze. Do the ceh one if you're getting a job that wants to see embossed paper. Also, check out Web Application Hacker's Handbook, and Shellcoder's Handbook.
