What does it take to become a hacker? 

 Becoming a great hacker isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen quickly. Being creative helps a lot. There is more than one way a problem can be solved, and as a hacker, you encounter many problems.
The more creative you are the bigger the chance you have of hacking a system without being detected.

 Another huge quality you must have is the will to learn because, without it, you will get nowhere. Remember, Knowledge is power. Patience is also a must because many topics can be difficult to grasp and only over time will you master them.
