Well, I'm 16, so my experience with hacking is fairly limited.
I grew up playing a fuck ton of video games: Madden '05, Mario Kart DD, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart DS, and a lot of other games.
When I was in the 7th grade I made my first website... with the help of word press. However, just having the knowledge of: how to get a domain/how to get a website online was amazing to me. I also learned how to do simple batch programming, and how to read/write binary code.
In between the 7th and 8th grade, I read a few books on web-based programming, and worked pretty hard for a few weeks to get my first, "hand made" website online. (unfortunately I don't have the website stored locally anymore... my dad smashed my first laptop with a hammer).
In the 9th grade I didn't really do much. I moved away from the continental US and was honestly pretty depressed. I did learn how to make custom tracks though! (I have not, and will never release my tracks).
10th grade, I moved to Kansas, and attended a school with computers. After 3 days, I discovered an exploit with the school computers with the windows 10 OS that allowed you to access the Administrative command prompt. After that, I had to look up "how to user privileges with administrative cmd". I changed my school account (which was also stored locally) to administrative, and attempted to access school databases (were grades, student info, etc) is stored. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to access it, and was inevitably caught.
Also in the 10th grade, I got familiar with Kali linux (and other distributions of linux), and hacked into several of my neighbors Wi-Fi access points.
The last somewhat hack related thing I did in the 10th grade, was a program I made to receive an A on every assignment in a computer related class. We used a program called, "Microtype Pro", and my class had a typing test every other day. The program had 10 prompts (If I can remember), and I typed all the prompts into a notepad document, then made a simple VB program that gave you the WPM (Words Per Minute) you wanted... which correlated to grades.
I then sold the program, and made quite a bit of money.
Fast forward to now, the 11th grade. I haven't done anything hacking related in a while, but really want to get into MKWii/Wii hacking, which has been a early game/console of mine for years.
