You've "finished learning C"? Can you write a device driver, or write your own back door into the Linux Kernel? Can you write an operating system from scratch on your own? If so, then well done. Otherwise you've just learned syntax which doesn't mean much.

I did answer your question though I did it with a question. Have you learned to do the things I mentioned? If not then you should by learning to program rather than just learning syntax. There are lots of tutorials on the internet for learning to program.
Also, if you want to hack networking other such things then you should learn about them also. Start with the basics of TCP/IP and go from there probably ending up playing with something like Kali.
There is no magic way to "become a hacker" (I learned this the hard way and never got close to being a hacker) but you just have to keep learning and keep trying to look at things in different ways.
Here's one great tip: Re-learn C and start to actually use it... As an experiment, build your own programming language... Hell, build one capable of recompiling itself.. Then you can 100% say you've finished learning C..
And you seem to have a great misunderstanding of what hacking actually is... Do you think all those people building great anti-viruses (for example) aren't hackers because they 're not on the "dark side"? Do you think kernel developers (not all of them, but most of them) aren't hackers.. Really, just download the kernel source code and look at some of it's code.. It's pretty amazing..
Than again, you did make you're intentions clear, you wan't to be a cracker.. Why in the hell should any of us help you?

and one more thing.... I'm not a hacker, so probably it is not really true, but I think a really good hacker must have practice in dozens of languages like c, c++, perl, java, different type of shells, python, ruby, php, visual basic, whatever.... You can start anywhere you like...

To be a 'true' hacker, you need to be fluent in 42 languages, no more, no less. 42 shall be the number you should learn, and the number of the languages should be 42.
43 you should not learn, neither should you 41. 44 is right out. Once the number 42, being the 42nd number, is reached, then you will become a true, leet hacker.

From what I know of software developers and from limited experience of learning bits of a few languages once you can program properly you can do so in almost any language and it's just a case of picking up the syntax when you need it. That's not to say that you can't be more familiar with one language and so more able to use it to its fullest but I think learning the syntax of other languages comes after you learn how to develop software in one.

I do not agree with you:
As it was already mentioned 42 languages should be learnt. I think learning a language is not equal to learning the syntax, but knowing the "soul", the essence of it, so knowing perl/python/... for me means writing perlish/pythonish/... code.
You can write bad code in any language, but powerful and efficient code?
Actually, the first thing in writing good code is to think of the problem outside it's code... You can then choose your writing language that fits best or bend your solution into the language you know best or have to use... So, yes, being a programmer has little to do with the language in which you're programming..
At least, that's my opinion..

What is this - seriously.
You are illiterate in half a dozen languages.
........... And now you want to still be seen hacker - and you don't even bother reading some deep insights that the best brains have to offer.
Hacking is not a easy. Installing Kali or any other Linux operating system is not going to help. Hacking is all about you looking for what you want and achieving it.
C in itself is huge. I am scared of people who say they know C.
Relearn C that is all I can say.
