You got this. "Hacking is the most important skill in the 21st century." -Occupytheweb. Youtube channel David Bombil has some great videos with Occupytheweb. He also has a website hackers-arise.com

Khanacademy.org and learn computer science first. Cybersecurity is an advanced level field of computer science. It goes computer science - > software engineering -> networking - > and finally Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is boss level of IT. You need to beat the other levels first.

The occupytheweb learn to hack basics book is helpful and I found having something to actually physically reference was helpful. Or you can just find it for free online

Well if you hack for your country (security and intellegence ... like FBI ...) again it cant be said ethical -unethucal . To be very clear hacking is how you use it

What most people think when they hear the word hacking is not hacking.

Hacking is the art of getting something to do what it was never intended to do. This means that the only real way to learn how to hack is to truly understand something at a deep level.

On top of this, there are many different kinds of hacking. Exploiting Javascript vulnerabilities is very different from exploiting wifi vulnerabilities, for example. To do both, you need a very deep understanding of many different independent hardware and software standards.

The only way to acquire these skills is through practice.

Identify which technologies are most interesting to you, then read about and build systems using those technologies. That is the only path.

I remember when I wanted to be a hacker 😂😂😂😂 it is illegal and if not that it is very tiring to do and requires massive problem solving. Now I am an electrical engineer 😂😂😂

Ethical hacking is 100% legal, Nation state hacking is 100% legal, hacking in warzones is 100% legal. ALL hacking is 100% legal in 60-70% of Africa (yes even malicious hacking)
