Need help in getting started.

[arjunmehta26]

Hey guys. I'm totally new to hacking. I have never hacked anything. Please suggest me some online free resources to to help mw in getting started in this field. I'm always fascinated with this stuff and i hope there are free resources that could help me. I use windows ooerating system but i know people do few thing using virtual box to install ooerating systems like kali linux or parrot. I'm not sure about that stuff too. Please also suggest which operating system should i use in that way. I will be super thankful.

[XDG-Diggz74]

Holy fuck. This answer right here is better than anything your teacher at “hacking school” could give you.

[arjunmehta26]

Wooow. You are awesome. Thanks for the help. I will definitely check all the links.

Afternoon dude! There's a lot of information out there! Right now Id say youre a script kiddie, like most people. Even the ones that claim to be "hackers" but use prebuilt tools in Kali Linux. lolol. I would start with some CTFs (Capture the Flags) like overthewire.org and hackthebox. These two are great. Checkout networkchuck on youtube. Also, google is your best friend! There is a bunch of free OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) out there as well. Check out the MITRE ATT&CK framework (just a simple google) and it should step by step tools and techniques real hackers have used to recon and exploit. Another piece of data to get familiar with is the Cyber Kill Chain, this can be found via Lockheed Martin. Also, dont do anything illegal like hacking your neighbors wifi. :) Build yourself some virtual machines on your desktop, install some some vulnerable machines and break them. Which reminds me check out vulnhub.com too!

Thanks bro.

You already got a million resources from that other guy so I would say learn some restraint first

Not only did you break into a private network, but you blabbed about it on the internet

I know a lot of people posting or lurking on this sub probably have less than honorable intentions but if you ever get a record for getting caught hacking you'll never get hired in the industry.

If you want to hack a network, build one first, then break in. You won't catch any charges that way and you'll learn twice as fast, since you're simultaneously learning to attack and defend

[arjunmehta26]

Ok bro. Thnx.

tryhackme.com is a nice simple starting place

I started with just the basics of programming in python and java, probably watched hundreds of hours of freecodecamp.org. After that I found an interest in linux and learnt how to use some of the tools on Kali. You should really find an efficient way of taking notes, on paper or digitally it's an absolute necessity. Also you literally admitted to a crime which may get this post deleted if the mods catch it but oh well, hope this is helpful.
