To sign 'hacker,' begin with the sign for 'computer' by holding your non-dominant arm horizontally across your body with the palm facing down. Form a 'C' shape with your dominant hand and tap it twice against the back of your non-dominant forearm. Finally, indicate the individual by forming both hands into 'A' shapes (fists with thumbs resting alongside the index fingers), holding them in front of you with palms facing each other, and moving them straight down.
Start by establishing the context with 'security system,' then sign 'hacker' (computer plus the person marker), and finish with the sign for 'break-into' or 'bypass'.
Point to the person to indicate 'she,' sign 'skilled' by grasping the edge of your non-dominant hand and pulling away, and conclude with the sign for 'hacker'.
Sign 'network' and 'protect' (using both 'S' hands crossed at the wrists moving forward), then sign 'hacker' to show who you are protecting it from.

Yes! The standard person marker typically uses flat hands with palms facing each other moving downward. The 'A' handshape variation shown in this video is also widely accepted and understood.
Because this sign literally translates to 'computer person,' it relies heavily on context. Depending on the conversation, it can also mean a computer programmer, an IT professional, or a tech enthusiast.
The taps should be light and controlled. Use a gentle bouncing motion with your dominant wrist rather than striking your forearm forcefully, keeping the sign comfortable and fluid.
