Biggest Beginners Guide To Become A Successful Hacker {whitehat}

So after I Looked trough HF, I didn't see any fast and good way to learn to hack. So I cooked together a little sample for you.


MORE INFO
But before we start, read trough this softwares and ebooks to get started.
How The Hack Is Made - RECCOMENDED
Best ebook for beginners. It helps you getting started with every hacking method out there today.

Sololearn
These apps will learn you the basics in JavaScript and SQL. They are avaible in google play.

Violent Python
This ebook will help you use python in a really good way.

RATS
Rats is something everyone should know how to use and how it works. When you start with pentesting or just fun hacking using metasploit (or similar), you will discover something called "meterpreter" which reminds about a rat, plus that it's just really good to know it.

So everyone have heard about Dark Comet. This is the most used RAT since it's stable, simple to use and is the most known and used. However, this is not the most stable RAT, mot because you are just going to learn, this free rat is the best one right now. Since this is and old RAT, there is tons of downloadlinks here at HF, just look trough the uploaders REP before downloading.


Later when you've learned how a rat works, you should buy a rat. I highly reccomend that you buy LuminosityLink.
It's the top ranked (in my opinion).
The creator is very friendly and experienced. It has all functions that you can wish for so yeah, just do that.

Sometimes you will discover some problems with RATs, so let me give you some mentors and some quick info.
1. Always portforward
2. Make sure that your firewall is 100% disabled (open the firewalls "advanced options" and make sure that they all have a green mark before shutting down the firewall)
3. Make sure that the AV haven't removed it.

And those are the biggest reasons why RATs don't work.

The top mentor are ofcourse: xVulnerable
And yes, it costs, but it's not free to learn to hack, nothing comes free.

KEYLOGGERS
Something else that's good to know is keyloggers. These softwares are widely used for alot of reasons, like - Infection on yourself to never forget about your passwords, infect your computers to make sure no one does something you don't want on them. And ofcourse we got a bunch if idiots, stealing private info with them. I use them on my pcs that i share with others so I can keep an eye on what they are doing on my PC.

There are actully alot of free good keyloggers. But this is the ones I reccomend.
*Dracula Logger RECCOMENDED
*Agent Tesla

REMEMBER: You don't need a mentor for keyloggers, if you want help with them, you can ask any mentor here and they should be able to help you!.



SOCIAL ENGINEERING

Social engineering - Manipulate a person instead of a server/device.
Alot of people think that SE is only used for blackhat, but nope. I've been using this when I sell things online, working as a phone salesman, buying things.
You can actully use it to just sell your car for more money than the buyer wanna give, buy things for less than it's worth. The best way here at HF to learn it, is to become a e-whorer.

So let's give you a good e-whore mentor and a good tutorial.

MENTOR
dopepizza RECCOMENDED

STARTER LINKS
Boxxys Guide[/align]

Let me give you a few things that you will ask later anyway!
1. Saturated packets will be unsaturated again, look for old packs
2. You wont make a single cent your first few days, stay patience
3. Yes, Kik method is still the best way to make money
4. No, Your computer is not fcked up, You need an older verision of manycam for this to work

Let's get into some more advanced hacking!

XSS/CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING

Cross-site scripting is what is sounds, it's scripting over the site, that is not yours, or that you don't have access to (It can be yours, but if you go into it as a regular user to just test this)
xss is built on JavaScript, which is why you should learn some JavaScript before starting.

One of the simplest ways to test for xss is to find a website with either a "search" function or a "post" function. Then you try to enter a basic js to if the site is vulnurable. Like this example:
Go to YOURSITE.com and click on the search buttom, then write a script with "alert(123)" between the script command
If you get an alert message saying "123", the site is vulnurable.

Best site to read more on this is:OWASPS XSS TUTORIAL
For more info, read the javascript section in "More Info" in the beginning.


SQLI
SQL injections is an old hacking method that sadly works today. It's quite similar to xss in one way, but totally different because you are attacking the database instead of the website (in most occasions). Some people are saying that manuall sqli is better than softwares. When I hear that, it's like they never discovered sqlmap. One of the best ways to see if a website could be vulnurable, is to look for a "?" followed by something similar like "id=8" or something. Let me give you an example.

www.YOURWEBSITE.com/section/login.php - Probably not vulnurable
www.YOURWEBSITE.COM/login?id=1'.php - Could be vulnurable


If you would like to read more, look into this members "tests" and read more:
Igrotesque

Read more in the "sql" section in "more info"

DOX
You are probably wondering why I didn't pick "dox" before all the others, well.. the reason is pretty simple. It's much simpler to DOX someone when you understand sqli and xss. I'm not saying that you should do a sqli just to found out who someone is, but it's still good to know some ways to hack before you start with DOX.
I'm guessing that som of you are asking 1 question now.
What is doxing?
Dox is simply "stalking" but in the techs world, so no, it's not "stalking". We who does it are just trying to find info about someone. Like IP, real name, real number, real country and so on.
If you are good at social engineering, it's pretty simple to find someones IP by just make them click on a link. By doing so, you will also find out what country they are in and what state/city they are in.
Remember that the state and city wont always be 100% accurate.
So here is a good list of websites for your doxing:
*Market Visual - Find important info about workers and CEOs
*TinEye - Reverse Image Search
*Ip-adress - My favorite site for locating IPs
*Iplogger - My favorite site for finding someones IP
*My Ip Neighbors - Reverse IP lookup
*NameCHK - Reverse Username/Domain search
*PasteLert - Reverse Pastebin Search
*CheckUsernames - Username Reverse Search
*Who's talkin - Search For Social Medias Tags and similar
*Tweetarchivist - Reverse Twitter Search
*Whois Lookup - Advanced Whois Lookup
*Leakedin - Leaked Info
*echosec.net - Reverse Location Search

It's a long list but you need it. If you need any more help in this, I suggest you read Legends Help Desk

VULNURABLE SCANS
This is fun, REALLY fun actully. This is how security companys do their work when they are searching for vulnurable points in websites and servers. There is alot of ways to do this on. But I will give you my top ways.
There are some top softwares that I want you to check in before starting here:
*VEGA - Application Scanner
*WMAP - Web scanner
*Nessus - Vulnurability Scanner

All these softwares are really simple to use, and you can find info about them online.
I once asked myself, "How do I test this on deep web sites". So here is a short explanation.

A deep web site only has a url, they don't have a special ip to test anything on so first of all, stop thinking about your softwares that requires a IP to be able to work. The deep web sites are only avaible if you are behind the tor proxy. So if the software does not have access to a proxy, you can use it either (you can but it's a bit more advanced). So when your software is behind a proxy and you can insert a url in the textfield, you can test the site.

Remember that you will get alot of negative positives and positive negatives. Make sure that you read all the explanations to why the server is vulnurable and what's REALLY vulnurable in the point you found. Something that alot of people are beliving is the usual problem found called "password over cleartext" which only means that they don't have an "SSL". With other words, you need to be on the same network (or hack their internet provider) and do a MITM to read their passwords.

I'm sorry for being selfish here, but I reccomend ME for as a mentor for this, since I haven't heard anything about another mentor in pentesting and vulnurable scans.


PENETRATION TESTING


Before we go any further, you need to know what "Penetration testing" is. Have you ever wondered how someone could hack into FBIs servers, the pentagon and all of those. They don't have vulnurable SQLservers, they don't have a simple "search field" for xss. No, they got what we really mean with "Hacked". This is what penetration testing is all about. Pentesting is when you inject malicious codes into their network/servers/websites and so on.

This is usally done by metasploit, but there is alot of other softwares like "armitage" which gives you a GUI experience, and ofcourse the "core impact" which is (from what i've heard, never really used it) an expensive but the most powerful tool out there today.


To get more info, go to the "advanced hacking" tab here at HF and look trough the threads, ask Me to mentor you trough it.
EDIT: Currently fixing a new thread that fits our members more, stop commenting in hope to get a few "rep" because you seems to know better.
Your thread is wrong on so so many levels TBH
Just straight saying it
Most of these are not whitehat, Social Engineering cannot be discussed on the forums and i wouldn't bother typing this out again as it is mostly wrong.
I sometimes come around and poke a few threads before leaving for a few months again.
I think you need to learn what the white/grey/black hats mean sir. Good on you for posting this mind, but I'd just edit it and sort it out as alot of it is grey/blackhat imo.
I don't think a whitehat would ever be using a keylogger, never even heard of a case where that happens.
"Let's get into some more advanced hacking"
>SQLi
>XSS
🤣

Can i ask why you're mentioning web hacking and pentesting in the same thread? It's a whole different subject which dosen't relate to web hacking.
If you're going to explain it, please explain it in detail. What am i going to do after running metasploit? How am i going to deliver a payload then root?
Personally i dont even think you know yourself. Also on this subjecting why dont you mention Nmap as it's a necessity?

where's ponywizard to teach these tards 🤦‍♂

Not trashing but w/e. gl.

I think that dude is still around. 🤫
I said "beginners guide" not "master of the hacking".
It's for when you're STARTING, not when you know. If a RAT is simple, what do you call sqli? it's more advanced. Not mentioning nmap since i ran out of words. (most 12000).
Yes, social engineering can be used as whitehat, Social engineering is ONLY used to manipulate a real person instead of a system. Since when is it illegal to do that? E-whoring is social engineering, still illegal but it's on the forum. When you're buying a car, you use social engineering to lower the price, when you're mad at an idiot and wanna hurt him the most, you use social engineering, when you publish your ebook and want as many as possible to buy it, you write a good review, which is social engineering, when you love someone and wanna make them feel as good as possible, guess what? YOU'RE USING SOCIAL ENGINEERING!. All of these are used by IT security companys.
If you would like to start with hacking, you should know some about keylogging, or how should it sounds like later?
customer - Hello sir, I'm having some troubles with my pc
you - Okay, what's the problem?
customer - I downloaded a file, then my facebook got hacked, and my AV can't find any virus
you - Oh, I think it's some kind of keylogger, but i don't know how they work...

Good job! 👍

Who tf would want to work in IT support/troubleshooting anyway? The fuck.
No one's going to hire a person in the example you said above.

Make lock the thread then make a second post with the rest of the stuff.

You seriosuly have no clue. Dumb guy.
Learn yourself before you teach.

1. Ra4w vpn is better than [censored] since ra4w vpn is the cheapest and have portforwarding. 143vpn is more expenisive but also good.
2. 0day does not mean "not known" it means "no known fix for problem"
3. "For choosing a language, I’d recommend C++. It’s a killer." but he doesn't telling anything about "java" which is compatible with every OS, yes c++ is the most powerful, but he should still mention JAVA.

And alot of more, His guide is to travel trough hacking, mine is a "think about, what do you want"

His tutorial is also about thinking what do you want, because it offered all practical routes for hacking. Anything worthwhile you said in this tutorial (Close to nothing btw) is mentioned there. Why not cut the chase and link?

1. All VPNs on HF are trash. Utter trash. Nobody gives a shit about whatever you use.
2. Bullshit. 0day means not currently known widely and to the vendor. As soon as it is known it gets patched. No such thing as a software having "No known fix". If there is, give me 3 examples.
3. Java is a joke. Nobody needs to mention a shit language.
What is that shitty ass ebook you linked? I hope nobody bought that lmfao. TrueDemon's ebook is the only one you really need and it's like $5. Hell it's leaked online if you're too poor for it.

Overall this was a horrible "tutorial". You just told people what stuff is and not how to do anything. This isn't even the "biggest guide". Bad grammar on top of it all. 2.2/10
I understand you are trying to help, and you posted this to teach people a few things, but you need to to over it first a few times for contradictions and actual writing, this reads more like someone talking than actual writing. Also you might wanna sort out your hats there, this is mostly grey. Not flaming or anything, just giving you my 2 cents on this thread since everyone else is so negative about it. Don't let this deter you, just fix up your thread and labels and writing and your good to go!
