i'm just looking for a method to go through that would teach me some of the basics of common hacking. some of the really basic stuff at this point. i've looked over the tutorial section in the forums and couldn't find anything i might find useful, so if it turns out there is a thread about this sort of stuff i would appreciate a redirect. otherwise, do tell about other resources to get me started.

thanks in advance!

Depends on what you want to learn. Website hacking, Ratting?

i have dabbled in ratting a bit (managed to get some poor guy to download IMG_040.exe.jpg and got lucky enough that he didn't even have anti-virus). though i didn't really have any practical use for what i would use the RAT for and it was more meant as just a messing around thing.

as for the hacking stuff, i was looking for something that could show me different beginner areas of hacking and i could choose which one i'd like to pursue.

many thanks to you guys, i've decided i'm going to start off with website hacking.

also snooping through previous posts of mine i managed to find this thread and thought it might be a help to other people.
