No, no. Years of tearing apart Kernels, teaching one's self TCP/IP because your teachers don't understand it, stealing your video memory for use as system RAM because you can't afford to buy the extra memory at the time and your process needs it, finding and reporting security issues and the like can make you a hacker.
To be a l33t hax0r like narcronics, all you need is a sub-standard spelling ability and figuring out the copy/paste on your system.
