very bad philosophy indeed. We all have thought of this question at least once (if not asked) .Actually the term hacking is itself vague and leads to nothing.actually search in wikipedia clearly shows the disambiguation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking -but hacking generally refers to exploiting a hidden function or problem for your own profit or sadistic approach . And you should have clearly specified which kindo' hacking are you intersted in.well googling for 'hacking tutorials' may give you required results for study purpose .Dont try to mess with your isp to get more speed ,or u may end up in jail.

But in my opinion this art should be learnt simultaneously in both ways-white hat and black hat..this may help you to think in the way black hat guys think and thus help in being a white hat (though im not promoting illegal hacking)

Q:How to become a hacker?
A:
1. Learn how your operating system works.. inside out.
2. Learn how the protocols work.
3. Learn how your network works.
4. Learn what are the weakness in your OS.
5. Learn how to exploit those weaknesses.

Once done you are ready to become a hacker.

Foolish people tak it the wrong way.......!!!

There are many ethical hacker in this business

What you people have to say about them

Hacking can be boon too its just like a TV take it the good way or the bad

First off, the general perception of a hacker is totally wrong.

Do you want to:
1)Be able to crack software?
2)Hack email id's

Then you want to be a cracker, not a hacker.

Right said wraith!!

Another stupid topic... If you wanna be a hacker [considering that u mean "hacker" as per the technical definition], you need to do your homework dude.. And it's gonna take lot of googling...
Best of luck... And do not create such "wanna-be" posts here.

Ecko · 15-01-2008, 09:23 PM

Since this topic is in programming this means that the person is simply talking about cracking not hacking
If this isn't the case then please move the thread to its required category

You are wrong. Hacker can of both types.

A person who takes control of a person's computer to gain private info is a bad one.

A person who edits system core codes, settings is a good hacker.

Yeah hacker and cracker can be either bad or good.

If u are using linux then probably u r a hacker already

And yeah try to write some programs including system calls in Unix.

saubrl · 16-01-2008, 09:31 PM

I knew what u all mean to say but my wish is to study some really useful programming language(and others that are needed and i am just a beginner) that can be used in both good and bad ways. I got this idea from the article in digit aout hacking in this month. So what is the easiest and should be learned by a beginner?

See 'cracker' wud be a rather incomplete when we talk at higher level like stealing secure information. i understand what u r saying and we do have terms 4 good and bad hackers:Black hat,white hat,cracker as u said,phreaker,open source,computer security hacker.

BUT this is rather very off topic. the guy wants to know how to be a hacker ,as i said which needs him to know elementry knowledge of networking and programming and a much higher level can be achieved by experience .
But he need to start 4m somewhere which i said 'googling' may help

It is imp. to know the tools for hacking in detail which cannot be discussed at this platform.
You may find saying they know hacking but they are just plain morons who have learnt a few tweaks or some illegal modification.A true hacker knows basics and invents new ways.
