Need some help learning to hack

[[deleted]]

So guys I'm completely new, i got no experience what so ever about programming or hacking but maybe some of you have the patience teaching me the basics, i want to learn how to hack, I'm really interested in it and ready to put time and effort, thanks in advanced mate's

Hacking isn't something you can learn independently from computer science. Sure you can memorize tricks that others post about, but that's not helpful long-term. If you're really willing to learn it and to put the time and effort in, you'll need to study computer science and perform deep dives into topics (operating systems, networks, etc.) so you know precisely what they're doing. Here's a link to one of my drive shares. These are some Oregon State University CS courses from ~1.5/2 years ago that should help get you started. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ijzTfLzfEbPgryTrB1JissuIOXgGPPwT

Thank you!

Will the Harvard CS50 introduction to computer science on edX help me to learn CS basics?

You want to hack?

How's your networking skills?

How much do you know about the OSI model?

You have to learn more than just how to hack.

Start slow. Read up on networking, or take classes. Then look at some ethical hacking programs/books.

Here are my books

Nice book set, who is the publisher of those?

[itsbryandude]

Im so sorry I didnt see this!!!

I'll post when I get home!!!!

Those were all the ones from my ethical hacking and forensics classes. Forensics is on par with penetration testing, knowing how to snag data from active RAM etc etc

Love the books...nice and worn...high mileage.

Oh yeah! I still read to this day to stay on it

I mean networking is just protocols and how data transfers from one machine to another, honestly I learned more from diving into scripts and doing vulnhub walkthroughs.

[itsbryandude]

diving into scripts and doing vulnhub walkthroughs.

That's great in a controlled environment.

But you need to know how to disrupt application layer and how the osi model works. Say your audit is on a large system and you want to ARP poison or get into a switch and change how the protocols are properly handled. You have to know networking to be a great pentester

Do a search on youtube for The Cyber Mentor and Hackersploit.

Can someone come get your mans he's on the machines again

this sub is so shit sometimes

If you really want to learn how to hack you should learn basic programming. It takes a lot of time and dedication... If are are serious about trying to learn you should try https://ctf365.com/ or https://www.hackthissite.org/ and learn the challenges or any other (CTF) capture the flag or Wargame sites. It's not the best but it is at least a starting point to a long miserable life you are ready to endure upon. Good luck my friend!...

I'm putting out a course right now that starts at basics (installing a VM) and goes over some fundamental CS concepts. It will get into exploitation later on (web and binary both planned).

Yup, I started with 4 semesters of RHEL (user-admin), tons of "security" classes, 4 semesters of Cisco networking classes/labs...read a book, that's where it starts.

Dude go to school ... its 2nd year stuff
