If you don't have any daemons running that provide network services
(have opened listen ports), you can't get hacked.
Yes and no. If user enabled network interface and has no network
daemons running, kernel still listens to that interface (ARP, icmp
and so on) and may be hacked using vulnerabilities in network
stack, protocol handlers or even network device drivers.
Which is not a realistic scenario. We can assume that for all intents
and purposes, the OP is safe.
