A hacker doesn't deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities.

I wasn't a hacker for the money, and it wasn't to cause damage.

The hacker mindset doesn't actually see what happens on the other side, to the victim.

At the end of the day, my goal was to be the best hacker.

I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I'm applying what I know to improve security at companies.

The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network.
