while at a McDonalds a few cities over.

Honestly, look at James Bond, and model yourself after him while removing the sex part.

Also, IMO, a girl who often wears revealing clothes tends to have short sighted goals in my experience, meaning they won't be getting very far in life, and one of my main contenders in a woman is their drive to achieve in life.

Father is a programmer, so I was always around computers. He taught me how to build my first one around 7.

Never cared for anything IT related till I was around 15 or 16 and started doing LAN parties. Got a job working as an IT tech, did my thing only because I knew it ( same reason why I'm working help desk now -_- )

One day I was in my IT class, and used a netsend command to send messages to hot chicks in the class. Shit was hilarious. Kind of went from there.

My initiation moment was hacking a digital billboard to show the Laughing Man logo - out of curiosity too. Ever since then, blackhat, redhat, greyhat applications has always intrigued me. I've never fully pursued much for fear of legal repercussions. Currently in the process for a security analyst position with a Fortune 15 company. Hopefully something will come of it 

Beyond dicking around with Backtrack adn Metaspoit, I have built a PwnPhone - most badass little Nokia N900 evar. I brought it in to work once and forgot to turn off active mode and my manager's machine starts screaming out alerts about a brute force attack, the WEP being cracked, and one server suddenly picked up a rootkit.

Whoops.

As the thread title states, how, or why, did you get into hacking?

Amazing website dawg, thank you!
About the car jacking, yes I heard that it's still possible, but like I said it's wireless bluetooth headset-like thing, so I'm not surprised it's still doable these days...

I wouldnt be surprised if you could unlock/start up the car.

I'll have to find it, but from what I can recall, OnStar works via cell towers. That means it operates off of a cell signal. Which can unlock a car.

Heh digital billboard hacking is awesome. I haven't done it though, but some time ago I was really into that and I read everything I could come across (theory that is, no one documented actual hacking in). I know there is one billboard in the city center which is wireless. Thought it's equiped with a directional antenna. I tried to scan the networks around, didn't find any that would seem the one.

Thought I didn't do anything 'cause no one else cared and I alone was a bit afraid

Did you scan for a hidden SSID? I wouldn't put it past whomever set it up that it was hidden.
