The very first skill you need to be a good hacker is to be able to find things by yourself.
Be good at searching for info & analyzing it so you can get the best resources on any subject.
Your mind is like an axe to chop a tree: the sharper it is, the faster it gets job done.
I don't think that watching/reading #hacking tutorials and collecting BB tips in Twitter or any other social media will make you UNDERSTAND what you are doing and why that happens.
Build a solid foundation with PROGRAMMING, NETWORKING, PROTOCOLS and OPERATING SYSTEMS first.
A story I'm really proud of.
After I had learned #XSS and retired as #1 from @openbugbounty in 2015, @kenanistaken came to me asking if I could teach him.
I said there would be a PRICE.
My price was "you have to do for someone else what I'm about to do for you".
He agreed. ๐
