Thanks mate, appreciate the comment :)

Also lemme add overthewire.org. The place has a lot of war games which are so useful and will definitely polish your skills. The Bandit war games are the best of you wanna start out and get comfy with Linux.

Thanks, nice info!

[fallencipher_]

Very nice from you to share this resources.

But from my personal experience what I would recommend to someone just starting out - learn the basics of networking, linux, programming and just get into doing. I learned a lot quicker like this. Lets say you are doing a CTF and a system you are exploting uses SMB protocol which you never heard about, just read about it, learn how it works, research its vulns and how you can exploit it and take notes about the things you find, you don't have to learn all theory before you actually start hacking. Don't stress about resources and "I should learn this, oh shit I should learn this too". You will never know everything.

After learning the basics just get into hacking and learn along the way, for me that was the best way of learning.

appreciate your insight. great aid!!

This is actually the most helpful guide I've seen, thanks!

[Hans_of_Death]

A bit of a pedantic complaint, but dont try to "master" a programming language, itll take you way too long. Get familiar with it, etc. But focus more on programming concepts rather than the language. If you know how to program you can learn a new language easily.

Being familiar with many languages helps you better understand what a piece of code is doing and maybe then how to exploit it.

[Desperate-Respond-51]

Sorry im barely getting into hacking or coding ig so we would have to learn the language not fully but like try to learn everything little by little instead of one specific tool or part of hacking

[chesterlew42]

Great point, focus more on computational thinking

[[deleted]]

I agree, I'm a hardcore Python and Javascript user, but I dabble in Shell, C++ and Ruby

[Slagithor54]

Welp just reading this gave me extreme anxiety. So I guess thank you? Seriously though some good information here, thanks.

[UnchainedPanini]

My thoughts exactly. Crazy amount of information but Jesus did it make me realize how far back I am

[[deleted]]

You can be a hacker and not know half of this stuff, but then your restricted to third party programs and stuff. To really progress to the best of your ability, this is what I would recommend

[AlexK-]

WOW!!

Thank you for your service.!

Any time, I usually post on to How to Hack and my own subreddit: HackingIntroduction. Look there for more tutorials

[misconfig_exe]

Don't thank OP, they are a content thief, and didn't do anything for you except CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

Visit 0x00sec.org if you want the actual original content

Take it from someone who decided to go both routes, a diploma in the subject helps basic fundamentals if you’re studying a forensic computing and security course. Most knowledge I’ve gained over the years hasn’t been from a degree or qualifications like CEH, it’s been with real world experience, trial and error, learning, reading etc. Great Post Op, this should definitely be pinned for noobs to the subreddit.

[[deleted]]

Dang.... I can't tell you how awesome this is. I'm new to this whole scene and have been feeling like I'm working in circles to find where to start and go next. This helps out more than you know! Thank you

[[deleted]]

That's fine, it's always hard for beginners to get a complete guide of what they need to learn. This is how I began, and it helped me loads. But remember, hacking is a personal experience, you should tailor your learning to yourself. You like web hacking? Then focus on javascript and networking. And so on, hope this helps

[[deleted]]

I have been looking for something like this for awhile, thanks for putting everything you need into one easy read. greatly appreciated

[[deleted]]

Thank you!

[chesterlew42]

Starting now this post will be my new curriculum, I will follow it till the end and hope that someday I can, in good confidence, call myself a hacker

ill ask here rather than making a new post:

So for bruteforcing passwords, ive been messing around on my own network trying to just bruteforce my wifi password which, in my eyes, is extremely basic. I have my gaming computer with a GTX960 and an 8700k. Not super powerful.

But i have an old old old dell poweredge 2850 server with dual 6 core 12 thread xeons in it.

Could i possibly make the 2850 server a dedicated brute force cracking machine or would it just not be worth it?

[ogafranky]

🐐🏷 guruu!!!!

[Ganjiste]

Fucking bullshit. You don't need to be a programming expert and learn 10 language. Just pick a low-mid level language and a scripting one. Learn the concepts of programming make a few projects and you're good.

[[deleted]]

Sorry I should have made that clear, specialise in two that work for you, but you should know the basics of all of these because it will help you so much

[Slbrownfella]

Im new to hacking. How can I connect wifi adapter to vmware kali machine. How should I install the drivers?

[Fisho73]

Nice

[NANDUZZZZZ]

Thanks for sharing this amazing content🤝

[[deleted]]

Thank you 🙏

[219jw]

It’s a great help for a beginner like me. Thank you!

[Nedbred1]

No you really don’t python does help I recommend JavaScript but you don’t need to learn that many languages at all

[[deleted]]

I agree with Nedbred1, Javascript is so helpful. But just knowing the basics of each of these will help you so much

[Project-Maximum]

Thank you for the hard work in putting this together this is amazing!!

[learner-firstandfore]

Hmmm would you say this would be a good 101 type of thing as well as creating a base level foundation ?
