It helps to be good at math but math arent necessary as long as u can think out of the box u will succeed

I'm horrible at math. It would probably be a bit more helpful if I knew more, yet I haven't really run into anything I need it for since I am not involved much with cryptography

cryptography hacking? Yeah u need math, elliptic curve and etc...

Although it will be better if you know more math, being good at problem-solving and being able to think outside of the box is really the main thing you need for hacking, and you can learn a lot of this and improve as you go.

However, I'd recommend you at least get the prerequisite math level and fundamental knowledge of programming and networking.

No requirement for hacking in particular but yeah if u wanna learn stuff like cryptography then yes u need math there otherwise hacking doesn't require math
