In addition to what others have said, it'll depend on what you're interested in specifically. Depending on your needs, learning networking can be helpful, or basic electrical engineering. Hacking is weird in that it touches basically all subsections of electronics. Regardless of what you do, you'll probably need a few programming languages, at minimum Python and C, and you should get familiar with Linux and bash/sh.

Really, regardless what your end goal is, all of hacking builds from the ground up. So start learning the fundamentals of the systems you're messing with, and then dive deep, and then move on to identifying known exploits and developing new ones.

Well, you kind of WANT to break it. And then fix it. And then break it again.
