    No, but you should have these basic requirement for ethical hacking is:-
    Good knowledge of Computer Hardware ,Operating System-linux, Win etc.-
    Learn Networking Basics (As it will give you a deep knowledge regarding protocols, LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, etc).
    Basic programming(Command atleast one language whether it is C, Python or anything else).
    After these 3 things you are ready to learn ethical hacking and you will not face difficulty anymore to dig into hacking concepts.
    ALL THE BEST!

    You should have the skill to access the protected sites and servers.
    You should have the skill to broke passwords and authentication which a server provides to the clients.
