Before we continue, it's important to know the difference between a hacker and a programmer, because I'm sure many people don't understand that one does not equal the other. A hacker, while keeping in mind that the term itself is fairly ambiguous, is by definition "A person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data", or someone who (usually professionally) finds and exploits security flaws in systems and networks. Becoming a hacker takes years of experience and a deep understanding of computer networks and systems, including programming and coding.
All hackers are programmers, but not all programmers are hackers. Script kiddies and public-domain exploiters are not hackers.
A programmer on the other hand is, by definition, "A person who writes computer programs". Hacking and programming are two different things, but they are closely related. Programmers create software (think of literally everything you have installed on your computer, your phone, tablet, and television) which does any number of different things. Technological advancement this last decade has been due to the help of programmers all over the world. In this guide, I will not be teaching you how to become a hacker, but rather the information and resources to become a programmer.
Not written by me, but this is a very good explanation of Hackers and Programmers

Not all hackers are programmers. There are many "hackers" who use other peoples' programs without knowing how it was made. I hate those leechers and they deserve a dox if they keep it up. |
