I presume nothing...
He likes to show off on the Internet and attack websites is a standalone sentence in my book.
Do you think it would be better to write He likes showing off on the Internet and attacking websites ?

Ah ha! But an m-dash is written as two hyphens (and of course, not dots), vaok, with no spaces:

He is_what_is known as a hacker--he likes to show off on the Internet and attack websites.

Because it is a definition. What is a hacker? It is someone who likes to show off on the Internet and attack websites.
