WELCOME!
so im writing this or people who are first delving into this forum.
For this tutorial i recommend you reading everything in full before you:

1. talk to any one
   
2. download anything
   
3. pay any one

if you want to stay safe, if not then by all means ignore me.

1) Welcome
Thanks for not being ignorant and coming here trying to expand your knowledge first off. Thank you!
nothing i can find worse then some one happy in ignorance. that makes the world a better place when we all strive to better yourself (how ever it may be...)

2) Stop, Leave, Come Back after your done with step 2

Yeah i know... your saying "WTF?" right? well I'm doing this for your protection so bear with me.

You need a few thing's going forward.

A) VMwareDon't Have VMware? Go Buy it! or Click here (Click to View)a1) If you dont have this, google: Bittorrent OR Utorrent
a2) Download and install it
a3) Go to a torrent site (IE Google pirate bay 🤐) Search VMware (look for the little green skull: that means trusted, and would be the only ones i WOULD RISK downloading on...) i personally recommend ThumperTM 's versions on anything software related.
a4) Download Windows XP, 7, 10 (& unbuntu if your going to really want to get deep) (you looking just for the iso files)
a5) Install VMware

B) Install
Install the Window (iso files we DL or have purchased?) version's on VMWare, (After windows is installed Make a image copy in VMware, Label 1 as Fresh install, and make a second (windows 10?) as labeled WORK

3) Welcome (again)
So now that you have some semi-balance of protection for anything you download. lets proceed

4) VPN (Virtual Private Network)
I recommend you go and read this:
That One Privacy Guy
Personally i use Trust.Zone to start but that wont be accepted by HF (you wont be able to access the site with TZ's IP's there are other VPN's that HF will allow. But that would be a biased opinion for the most part I'm sure after your done reading the rest of this you'll be able to navigate to the right area to ask question's

5) Please read Rules and Etiquette, and the other area's in the help section
Lost? cant find it?[url=https://hackforums.net/misc.php?action=help (Click to View)[/url]
LOOK UP

6) Market Place.... 😧😧
yeah, so Just because some one has a lot of post and even a few people saying OMG great ✌👍 stuff. Do DO DO DO! check his/her Reputation: (CLICK SOME ONES REP, READ)
before talking to some one in pm or in Skype Don't just randomly assume your speaking to the actual seller of something unless they confirm via HF PM. they might might be some ripper seeing you posted in the topic discussing you needed something and deiced to impersonate the seller and hope you just gullible. the legit sellers have a lot of people with reputations all saying good things all the time. the ones you need to watch out for are Grey and red reviews talking about scams and multi's (multiple accounts used to boost sales threads and rep boost. technically multi are not allowed and can get you banned)

7) If you buy anything download it and move it to VMware dont just run things you download. Sandbox that SOB. (sandbox, is a term to run it in a safe area it cant get out of. learn to use command

Code

netstat -bn

For a video Check this: (Click to View)


You can find alot of useful education stuff there, but try to take everything with a grain of salt. make your own opinion and learn.

That's pretty much it im sure ill update this in the future im just having this here because people im sure end up here curious and leave infeted or ripped off by some lame people

Nice post. I see that the video on 'netstat -bn' is no longer up. Do you have any recommendations for a different explanation video?

[Tor]

Good thread. Don't you think it should be in the introduction section?
