Hacking

I watched a movie on it recently and it revived my interest in something I've always been curious about, along with the Usenet and BBS underworld of days gone by. So, how is a hacker made? How do you know about and use exploits in code or whatever it is you do? Where can aspiring hackers learn what they need to learn?

Yeah, everything that can be hacked already has been, even the software and hardware that doesn't yet exist. Don't even think about doing something from scratch that's been done before; if it doesn't give us anything new, you're just being a script kiddie.
