Hello,

To be honest, i don't know much about hacking, but i'd really like to learn it.
The first thing i'd like to start with is hacking a MyBB forum but i don't know how.
Does anyone know how to do it? Or is there somewhere a tutorial about it?
Can somebody just give me some hints, or just explain me how to start and what to do next? Thank you.

I guess you didn't learn PHP, SQL or other stuff.
So best way for beginners that just want to try it, would be to get Acunetix and Havij.

Acunetix is a web vulnerability scanner.
It crawls the site for any vulnerabilitys that can be exploited.

If you found a vulnerability (especially SQL injection), you can use Havij to get the databases of the Forum
(Containing usernames, passwords and so on)

guy above me is an idiot.
dont use tools unless you are a skid.
however
you should fist check the Forums Version.
For Older Versions there are public exploits on the web
if you have a more recent version
you should check the installed plugins for vulns.
if you are unlucky,
your best bet is probably social engeneering, getting Admin Creds from other DBs, or having a 0day

Agreed, don't use tools to do this, or you'll never really learn anything! I would also be tempted to do a reverse IP lookup to find out what other domains are hosted on that server if your forum seems pretty solid. It only takes 1 weak site to get shelled and the whole server (and by extension, your target) will be under your control.
