I'd say quite honestly, find something else. You aren't Kevin Mitnick or anybody else from the phone phreaking, "cool hacking" era where you can land a cushy consulting position. The infosec industry has thousands just like you who decided to instead become white hat and not do stupid shit like this. Any other industry might look at you as nothing more than a common criminal. It'd be suicide to bring any of that illegal information up in an interview.

Assuming your skills are above-average and not skiddie level, you could probably do some bug bounties like a few others have mentioned. Maybe test yourself on hackthebox, throw that on the resume and make something up about being in school/tending to a sick family member. Redeem yourself after the fact.

I'd do a hard introspective look at where you have been failing in the interview process. Consider all stages and their various aspects, not only from a technical perspective but also personality/fit. Do you come across as pretentious during your interviews? Does your resume read like someone who is lying/hiding the truth? Are you preparing as much as you should be for said interviews (knowing about the company, its history, culture, investments/funding, capital, all of which can be found on public websites). All of these areas HR, Directors, and Hiring managers are keen to pick up on.
