Can't you see? Are our eyes not real?

I can see. Don't worry iwtohuit me.

On a more serious note, I got into hacking when I was around 10/11 and one of my friends showed me what SQLi was. I went from there and was a skid in my ways for a while until I realized that I should actually learn certain programming languages before trying to break applications that are made in them. That's how I know PHP, SQL, Python, C, and some other stuff I'm probably forgetting.

I attempted to get into hacking when I was younger because I found it curious. I was a skid for a while, defacing websites that nobody cared about and archiving them before fixing them.

I no longer try to hack things, as it doesn't interest me anymore.

[Skull-Cruncher]

I am not a hacker nor do I want to be one.
But I got into technical stuff like hardware / websites and shit from me wanting to start my own website lol.

I wanted to do/acquire things that couldn't be done/acquired through normal means. I think that's why most people delve into security. The unknown and all of the possibilities.

I have always had a interest in how things work and how to change it so it can work in your favor etc. I learnt from websites schooling books and my dad, started maybe at the age of seven was when i started to learn java im now 17 and fluent in Java C# C++ Python and i know a few others just not fluent.

Like most people, I liked the challenge of it, not what you can do, but how it is done.

[Table]

Because it seemed a good idea at the time. Nothing encouraged me. I would tell them not to because it's not that fun.

[Hylotx]

It's just something that interests me a lot. I don't know why, really.

Legally, illegally, I dont really care.

What drove you to the technical side?

Why did you continue doing it, and why haven't you stopped?

How long did you spend your time getting to the skill level you're at right now?

Do you see yourself doing this as a career if not already, and do you see yourself doing it for a majority of your life?

If someone told you that they wanted to start hacking, what would you tell them?

If all you do is RAT and DDoS, then I don't want to hear your opinion.

I have a child being kept out of my life for the simple reason alone- the person doesnt like me that took said child, and person has the money to run far, that's what drove me to want to learn technical things on computers. I believe once my skill grows to a high level, I can exploit it to my advantage in order to be in my childs life. I can already exploit it in order to keep an eye on said child and make sure child is safe. If someone wanted to hack, id ask their reasons. If its something dumb like wanting to spy on people or be an anonymous ddosser I wouldnt care to hear the rest. My skill is not very skillful, I would say, I have only spent a few years briefly scimming through things to learn... Writing basic stuff... I hope to grow though. I will be doing it for life, hopefully for a career and of course the above goal to be helped.
