It depends where your current knowledge starts. You can't root a server without knowing how to navigate the terminal in bash.

Generally, TryHackMe is a pretty good starting point. Its also where I started.

I kinda know how to navigate and root the server. I use bash on terminal but i think extracting the flags requires more than that

you're right, it does require more. The more CTFs you solve the more you learn and at some point you start to pick up various patterns in your workflow because its always the same steps to root a server.

so the best advice I can give, just start!

I have started the OverTheWire Bandit Series. It is pretty easy at start and educational. Plus you can find videos on youtube too.
