Just kidding.
tl;dr: Learn how to ask the right questions with reading this tutorial:
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.htmlSadly, there is no such step that will catapult you to the Zero Cool of the new millenium in one night.
It takes blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears to make progress in this game.
But somehow you have to begin, right? And that is no crime, everyone has to start somewhere. But it makes no sense that you want to know, right from the beginning, where the l33t exploits are or how to hack the facebookpage of your friend. The absolute first step in your journey should be the obvious:
How to ask the right fucking questions, to get the knowledge you need. (And don't be a pain in the ass for the people you are asking.)
Remember, that people who are trying to give you an answer to your questions, not only sharing their wisdom, they are also sharing their precious time with you.
So the least you can do is, honoring this gift with a smart and accurate question.
I have one last request for you, padawan!
Before asking your question, click on the link I have provided and read through it. Make this a habit until you dream in smart questions. Then use your best friend google.
If you still can't find an answer to your question, the majority of the people (in the irc or forum or whatever) will gladly try to help you.
Cheers
