Posted November 7, 200321 yr Alright, I've abstained from the true nature of the hacking scene so far...I never have tried to script a program, learn HTML, or anything else that most of you proggy gurus know how to do. I now wish to submerge myself into the crazy and reawrding world of computer hacking. Does anyone have any links at all to any scripting crash courses? Maybe some OpenGL or just writing programs. Thanks in advance.
November 7, 200321 yr cisco does online networking classes (but they ain't exactly cheap) aside from that...the for dummies books are good investments to start with if you're intending to self-educate...CCNA for Dummies includes a CD with courses to help you learn the materials (though CCNA is simply basic "how to design and admin a network" material), as does C++ for Dummies, and several other tech related books from the series... buying used progging coursebooks from whatever local place sells texts to local college students is another way to approach it...but you'll need a good SDK for progging...I suggest hunting up visual studio dot net (VS .NET) or visual studio 6 pro or enterprise somewhere, since most texts are designed to be accompanied by labs held in schools with MS OS contracts Java is a free language from sun...you can go to http://www.sunmicrosystems.com and get their SDK for java, as well as many free tutorials in using java...but the SDK sucks balls for ease of use... the nice thing about java or VB as starting languages is ease of use...they are closer to english than C++ and such....and once you learn either VB or java, you find the related scripting to be so simple to understand at a glance, you wonder how you could EVER have found it confusing. HTML...find ANY "how to" HTML book, and start working...use "view source" on webpages, and start seeing how it works in practice, and making your own pages (JUST on your machine) in notepad...simple enough BIG thing is to start looking for and aquiring free and abusable administration, test, and diagnosis tools...I can't begin to tell you HOW helpful superscan, fpipe, and a few other programs from foundstone have been to me...not to mention SAINT, SATAN, shadowscan (though it's outdated, and rarely works as a hacking tool now, it's still got some very revealing tools included in it). also, if you bother going to http://www.thenetworkadministrator.com and following links to his page of "hacker sites", there are some useful forums and download pages linked to...though, like hi, I won't guarentee how helpful and/or harmless you'll find them to be...however, CDC, LGR, DM, and several other well known hacking groups are linked to from there. Good luck...it's something that takes years to learn to do properly :)
November 7, 200321 yr Sams teach yourself c++ in 21 days im reading this right now, might want to get visual studio c++ before you do, or any other c++ progs with a decent compiler. borland c++ is good but i never got into it very much.
November 8, 200321 yr any programming language will do...VB, Java, or Python are probably the easiest ones to start with...but Java and VB can be pretty limited...
November 8, 200321 yr for web site "hacking" someone told me this install apache install php instal perl and cgi learn perl/cgi or php go to hotscripts.com download a bunch of scripts that have to login stuff in the lanuage you are learning then try and find holes in the script then try to exploit it then you can test your shit out by google searching for the footer thing at the bottom such as Visual bullitens is Powered by: vBulletin Version 3.0.0 Beta 4 then test that shit out then go and exploit real sites the same way and dont forget level 1 anon proxies
