There are too many cancerous threads posted in this section that are made specifically to ask one question and it's turning this section into shit.

So go for it, ask any and every question you have (hacking related, of course) and I will answer it honestly and thoroughly.

Uh yea so I have no experience. What do you recommend for optimization and antivirus apps. Currently I'm using ccleaner professional and webroot, along with a geeksquad membership. To add on to this, since I'm rather new, how should I get started. Any particular sections and or programs you could refer me to? Of course I have no money atm. I'd also like some information on account hacking, pertaining to services such as minecraft, Netflix, Spotify, etc. was always interested in how people cracked these :D.

For Windows antivirus-related things I recommend MBAE, MWB, EMET, and Comodo.

For Linux, all you'll need is grsec.

For getting started in web application exploitation, I highly recommend learning PHP and MySQL first because that's what you'll mostly be working with. People that tell you to start with HTML and CSS for web hacking purposes are fucking stupid, don't mind them. It won't advance your skills in hacking whatsoever.

For getting started in low-level (machine) based exploitation, I recommend learning Assembly and C. Every operating system's foundation is built in Assembly, learning it is the only way to actually know what's going on in a computer. C is just good to know all around. Assembly is also crucial to be able to craft kernel exploits and/or other exploits such as buffer overflows, heap overflows, spraying, etc.

If you haven't caught on yet, you have to learn the programming language(s) related to the type of hacking you want to perform otherwise you will turn into a skid.

I was wondering if there's any way to find the sms gateway address used by a provider.

I was thinking of setting up something that monitors all traffic sent and received on my phone, then sending myself an SMS. It's bound to show up somewhere right?

There are several web-based tools for this.

What if I'm not from USA/Canada and it's a new provider?

What's the best way to hack the Remote Desktop Connection / FTP Server and access the database of a website?

Scroll down a little bit and it gives you a list of everything.

What's the best way to hack the Remote Desktop Connection / FTP Server and access the database of a website?

Bruteforce or keylogging the admin's computer is ur best bet if you want crack the rdp/ftp access. If you are looking for the database, try finding SQLi vulnerabilities in the website.

Try using Acunetix to scan the website.

[♪Beartooth♪]

Bruteforce or keylogging the admin's computer is ur best bet.

So even if I can get into the Remote Desktop Connection, and find the computers local user name and certificate, there is no way to access maybe an unknown working account?

What's the best way to hack the Remote Desktop Connection / FTP Server and access the database of a website?

I don't have much experience with hacking Winblows servers but if I had to take a guess I'd say actually shelling the server via a vulnerable service or bruteforcing the login.

For FTP, try doing ftp://server_url_or_ip_goes_here or ftp.something.com
Or, once again, exploitation or bruteforcing.

As for database access, if it's running a web service try and find SQLi on that. Sometimes it will have a configuration panel running on something like 8080 or 8081 with a login, granting you access to the database. Or, last but not least, exploitation or bruteforcing.

Assuming it's a new provider, I doubt it'd be listed online.
I'd also like to do it the hard way, if possible. Is there no way except asking the provider themselves?

Oh god, this should be great.
For real, though, good luck.

I like hacking but I suck maths
what should i do?

>XSS or any client sided attack without HTML
yes yes good luck

also you can, in some cases, use CSS in XSS for example XBL which allows JS and is embed inside CSS. Not even talking about browser-related elevations you can do. more here:

of course you'll be absolutely fine without learning HTML/CSS, but not every single thing you ever learn must be used in hacking. This is basic shit you need to understand for the sole purpose of knowing what the fuck is a website
