Hacking, that sounds crazy, isn't it? In computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, or challenge.The subculture that has evolved around hackers is often referred to as the computer underground and is now a known community. While other uses of the word hacker exist that are not related to computer security, such as referring to someone with an advanced understanding of computers and computer networks, they are rarely used in mainstream context.

Classifications
Several subgroups of the computer underground with different attitudes use different terms to demarcate themselves from each other, or try to exclude some specific group with which they do not agree.

Eric S.Raymond(author of THE New Hacker's Dictionary) advocates that members of the computer underground should be called crackers. Yet, those people see themselves as hackers, Instead of a hacker/cracker dichotomy, they give more emphasis to a spectrum of different categories, such as White hat, Grey hat, Black hat and Script Kiddie.

 Am I boring to you. I'm really sorry about that we will go for your cause of presence here/

Hacking is not a simple thing it needs so much dedication, intelligence and an analytic mind.Unfortunately there is no shortcut or magic to become a hacker you need to learn from your colleges or elder who are interested or it is better to consult your programming teacher.

To become a hacker, you first must have a keen interest in computers, how they work, their components and how computers communicate at the lowest level. If you aren't a programmer, you need programing skills.

Eric Raymond suggests that you learn Python first. After becoming comfortable with Python, you should learn C/C++, Java, Perl and LISP. Python, Java and Perl are all C-based languages but Python is an easier first language to grasp. LISP is an ancient language (in computer terms) but its approach will give you a different perspective on programming and will make you a better programmer and hacker.

You also need to obtain an open source operating system such as Linux, FreeBSD or OpenSolaris to use to hone your skills. Using existing code as a guide helps you learn to program.

Other than programming, what other skills do you need as a hacker?

Look back at the list of attributes given earlier: dedication, intelligence, analytic, problem-solving, communications and persistence.
You'll need dedication because becoming a competent hacker doesn't happen quickly. Like any job, you need to start small, grow and set personal goals. You need to have at least average intelligence.Believe it or not, the ability to communicate verbally and in writing is extremely valuable and is an essential tool in your skillset. And, Eric Raymond further suggests that you need at least a functional grasp of English, the language of hacking.

Finally, read all that you can about computer security, hacking and programming.
And, as kRishna tEj would say, "Happy Hacking!"
