Getting started with infosec would require a basic understanding of how a computer itself functions at a primitive level, networking and protocols (and how they tie together), operating systems, web technologies. Some programming knowledge wouldn't hurt either; scripting in Python, Ruby, shell.
I love telling people that you should learn to make stuff, before learning to break stuff :)
Above all, security and hacking, in general, requires a creative mindset with out-of-the-box thinking. There is no single checklist to be followed, ever!
Indeed, my bad. Can you give us advice on getting into information security? Thanks!

That is actually a great way to look at it! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us :)
