Ditto what popporet said. But also considering you're an intern and all, if you plan to find flaws in your own company. Be careful as it could land you into some legal trouble. If you're doing something in offensive security without permission. Even if your intentions are good.
There's other ways to the security industry than trying to impress your manager by hacking the company
Do some good work as an intern, I'm sure he'll be impressed. Get some experience in IT. Maybe try find your way into entry-level SOC. Or maybe study and get a certificate in penetration testing (OSCP etc). Or get yourself a stable foundation with a CS degree.
There's a lot of different paths to infosec. There's not really a right or wrong path, it depends on what kind of person you are IMO.
