I'm looking for a word that describes the act of doing something without a real logical reason but just because they can. A example of what I'm talking about would be like this:
The boy hacked the Pentagon just because he could. He didn't steal anything and he didn't want the attention; he just wanted to proclaim his own self-dignity.
What would you call someone like that or the act of doing something like that?

Perhaps are you talking about someone who do things spontaneously. Extreme cases are simple-minded, autistic or genius. The root of this behaviour may be intuition, which is more common. Gratuitously of Graffito seems the best, or in this example : "you're male... and therefore more innately qualified."
