its easy to be a hacker, most people dont even know what hacking means.
First you need the knowhow and have an attitude of experimentation, a lot of hacking actually comes from hardware. One particular article i liked was when they posted about a group marathon in which they were able to get a bunch of sim cards, set up their own cell tower, and play around with the sim card's CPU, as the sim card itself is a computer, has its own CPU, memory and storage, but is such a locked down tech and messing around to learn what you can do with it, and the results are surprising.

Hacking is just mainly messing around with things.
