Some people just starting out will often ask, how can I become a hacker?  The
short answer for that is:

- The state of mind of being a hacker: an explorer, an adventurer, being
inquisitive
- Learning Linux and other *NIX (UNIX, BSD) as these systems are far more
stable and capable than Windows or Mac
- Learning a programming language or at least a scripting language
- Deciding your constitution: good guy (white hat), bad guy (black hat), and
the gray hat being something inbetween
- Knowing enough about computer security to be able to pass the Security+
and CEH (certified ethical hacker) certifications, if not the CISSP
- Being ever eager to learn, and not pretending to know something when you
don't
- Coming to a place where you can not be bought out; a place where you will
stick with your moral principles and not be a Judas Iscariot, no matter what.

I hope this article finds you well.
