I'm with Mara, it sounds to me like you have little understanding of what the term "hacker" truly means. That being said if you wish to learn ETHICAL pentesting and security techniques you're best bet is to start with Python or Ruby for basic scripting, then learn Javascript for web app pentesting, then learn a low level system language like C to truly understand how exploits interact with their target systems at the level of the metal. You will also need to learn a proper security OS like Kali Linux and the large amount of tools used for pentesting such Metasploit, nmap, etc. Good luck with your quest and in closing, I definitely urge you to take the ethical route with things instead of becoming yet another despicable script kiddie.
