How to become a haker

How to become a 1337 h4x0r, as according to a n00b.

Step 1 Learn about hacking and hackers

First and foremost, you must know what a hacker is before you can become one.

A hacker Does / Is :
manipulate files programs and webpages to his advantage.
have many computer related skills.
conduct in perfectly legal activities.
skilled in a few or many computer languages.
