Beginners guide on becoming a hacker
Lately I've seen hundreds of post in every section by people who are new to the world of hacking asked "So I'm new and want to learn how to hack". To be honest I don't belive that 😠 .
You see most of them don't exactly want to learn anything about computers or exploiting them. Most of these guys just want to learn EXACTLY how they can (for example) do a MySql injection, not what actully is happening when they do the injection. So I decided to make a little guide for them just to clear this chaos and make it just a little bit clearer
Before I start I just wanna say that there is no right or wrong way to become a so called "hacker". But there is something you should consider to do and something you should consider to not do
So here we go
Before you start learning how to hack
So before you're gonna dive into the world of hacking I have one tips to you: learn the basics of computers. I mean you should atleast know how to boot up in safe mode and basic stuff like that. If you don't know the basics of what you're dealing with it will be like learning how to take a backflip when you can't even jump.
Google is your best friend when it comes to learning
What I mean by this is that when you have a question don't post a thread asking how to do this right ahead. Try to search on google or HF you will most likely find the answer to your question/problem. You should only post a thread asking if you really coulden't find the answer by searching.
Don't act like you know stuff you don't
Don't act like you know stuff you don't. This will only cause you problems and/or give you a bad replutation (No I'm not talking about the replutation system here at HF). Swallow you're damn dignety and admit that you don't have the answer to their question, you can't be a expert in everything.
Make friends with other hackers
If you make friends with other hackers maybe join a crew things will be easier for you. It's much more fun learning with others and share your knowledge. This can make you feel like you've actually acomplished something when you've learned something new
Knowledge is power
You should ALWAYS remember this as Sun Tzu (the writer og The Art of War) said: Know your enemy. This basicly means that if you know what you're trying to fighting you are more likely to win.
So lets out this into perspective.
Case 1: You want to hack bob. You have him added on msn. You could trick him to download your server/virus
Case 2: You want to hack bob. Know his IP adress. You run a port scan on him with Nmap, wow now you know that port 1794 is open and that his operative system is Windows XP service pack 2
In wich case would you most likely be able to hack bob?
And remember: All information is good information
Climb the ladder
"Climb the ladder", don't start hacking by trying to hack NASA. Ok so you know how to make a RAT server but you're not quite ready to hack google yet. Start by learning the easy stuff then learn the more advanced stuff.
Don't get distracted
RATs and Keyloggers may seem fun but don't get caught up with them too long. They should be used as tools not as the main consept of hacking. When you have learned how to use them and explored the different functions move on to more advanced stuff
Don't flame people
I know that HF basicly is flamer heaven but this is not how you should behave. Flaming and mocking other people will only make you seem less inteligent. You can argue but you should never start or step into a flame war
Stay anonymous
Stay anonymous. Don't go around telling your personal information to everybody. You would be amazed over what a creative hacker could do with your personal information.
Be creative
Always be creative. You will acomplish much more if you can think by yoursef and be creative with the little information you have about a victim. Thinking logical will also be a plus when you're hacking.
Bonus: I have seen alot of posts lately asking: How can I hack through IP?
Alot of people would say that this is impossible, but actully it's very possible
What you need:
Nmap
Metasploit
