This is a really impressive project, especially starting at 14. The point about there being no single comprehensive resource rings true, I've tried to learn about password security before and always ended up jumping between five different tabs just to understand one concept.
There are actually a few recent books on the topic (no clue about their quality but reviews look positive):
Netmux (2019): Hash Crack: Password Cracking Manual¹
James Leyte-Vidal (2024): Ethical Password Cracking: decode passwords using John the Ripper, hashcat, and advanced methods for password breaking²
Daniel W. Dieterle (2024): Password Cracking with Kali Linux³
