What drove you to the technical side?
The ability to manipulate, change and control something is awesome.
Why did you continue doing it, and why haven't you stopped?
It's like a puzzle, I'm addicted to figuring out puzzles, I can't help myself but want to do it. For social engineering i enjoy the buzz of getting away with it.
How long did you spend your time getting to the skill level you're at right now?
At social engineering I would say a couple of years, as a programmer I haven't been programming in non-web languages for very long and as for being a hacker, well I have no skills in that sense.
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?
I would love to do this for the rest of my life but I would not do it for a career, it wouldn't feel the same.
If someone told you that they wanted to start hacking, what would you tell them?
Learn to program first.
