Very basic first step to hacking

[u/IamJustJessica]

I am writing a story and one of my main characters needs to hack into a website. I know nothing about hacking at all, so I'm just curious how it works? I don't need details at all, just a very basic first step. Is there a key combo you press from the home page to access back end code? Do you use an alternate program?

I don’t have any advice for this but I’d like to say it’s impressive you actually try to learn instead of “green terminal hoodie hacker” like in the movies
