6 Steps to be a HACKER !
2) Learn to Program
Learn Programming Languages: The best way to learn is to read some stuff written by
masters of the form, write some things yourself, read a lot more, write a
little more, read a lot more, write some more, and repeat until your writing
begins to develop the kind of strength and economy you see in your models. To
be a real hacker, however, you need to get to the point where you can learn a
new language in days by relating what's in the manual to what you already know.
This means you should learn several very different languages. Besides being the
most important hacking languages, the following represent very different
approaches to programming, and each will educate you in valuable ways.
There had been a community, a shared culture of expert
programmers and networking wizards who used to
trace its history back within the decades to the first networked
computer ever and the earlies “ARPAnet” . Those members of the community
originated with the term “HACKER”.
Follow the mindset of a HACKER : Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in
freedom and voluntary mutual help. To be accepted as a hacker, you have to
behave as though you have this kind of attitude yourself. And to behave as
though you have the attitude, you have to really believe the attitude. So, if
you want to be a hacker, repeat the following things until you believe them:
2) Learn to Program

Computer Programming |
Unix is must : Get one of the open-source Unixes and learn to use and run
it. Unix is the operating system of the Internet. While you can learn to use
the Internet without knowing Unix, you can't be an Internet hacker without
understanding Unix. For this reason, the hacker culture today is pretty
strongly Unix-centered. So, bring up a Unix (like Linux but there are other
ways and yes, you can run both Linux and Microsoft Windows on the same
machine). Learn it. Run it. Tinker with it. Talk to the Internet with it. Read
the code. Modify the code.
4) HTML most important
Don't consider HTML as very basic language : Most of the things the hacker culture has built do their work out of sight, helping run factories and offices and universities without any obvious impact on how non-hackers live. The Web is the one big exception, the huge shiny hacker toy that even politicians admit has changed the world. For this reason alone (and a lot of other good ones as well) you need to learn how to work the Web. This doesn't just mean learning how to drive a browser (anyone can do that), but learning how to write HTML, the Web's markup language. If you don't know how to program, writing HTML will teach you some mental habits that will help you learn. So build a home page. Try to stick to XHTML, which is a cleaner language than classic HTML.

This might sound pretty much easy stuff : English is the working language of the hacker culture and
the Internet, and you will need to know it to function in the hacker community.
Translations of technical books written in English are often unsatisfactory
(when they get done at all). Being a native English-speaker does not guarantee
that you have language skills good enough to function as a hacker. If your
writing is semi-literate, ungrammatical, and riddled with misspellings, many
hackers will tend to ignore you. While sloppy writing does not invariably mean
sloppy thinking, the correlation is strong. If you can't yet write competently,
learn to.
6) Earn a Hacker's Respect
Have a Hacker's attitude: Like most cultures without a money economy, hackerdom runs on reputation. You're trying to solve interesting problems, but how interesting they are, and whether your solutions are really good, is something that only your technical peers or superiors are normally equipped to judge. This is why you aren't really a hacker until other hackers consistently call you one. Specifically, hackerdom is what anthropologists call a gift culture. You gain status and reputation in it not by dominating other people, nor by being beautiful, nor by having things other people want, but rather by giving things away: your time, your creativity, and the results of your skill.
