Hacking is both Art and Science, and neither at the same time. All depends on your point of view.
It's an art, because is inexact. There is no fixed rules (as on math) to apply. The same procedure cannot be applied twice and to obtain the same result (Yes, in some cases you can obtain the same result applying the same procedure).
I'm a developer and a amateur scientist. I'm always researching, hacking the unknown. That's the science part.
