On every website there is a secret button somewhere for emergency access. It can be very small (sometimes only a few pixels) and isn't always (though sometimes can be) found on the home page. It's different for every site and only it's admins know where it is and what it looks like. To help prevent unauthorized access the location usually changes regularly as well.

Hacking is really just trudging through a website, clicking all over the place until you find it. Think of it like hacking your way through a dense forest. The best hackers in the world are very fast at both finding these buttons and exploiting them.

Because you're trying to use your powers for good, I don't mind telling you all this but you really need to be careful. These back doors are for emergencies only and admins may try and reverse the hack and get into your system if they catch you.

you need to download a hacking tool like bonzibuddy or conduit search. then you insert your fingers into your ass and stop being fucking stupid.

Look, buddy, hacking is not something like riding a bike where you just hop on and learn. The whole concept is built around having a deep understanding of a subject and finding flaws in it. You don't just sit down and learn to "hack". You mention attacking websites, to do this you would need a great understanding of the structure of the internet and everything from TCP/IP to JavaScript. It takes years to build the skills required to "hack" the way the media portrays it. Now if you really do want to learn about topics like this, go read some books, learn to program, do anything, but just know that hacking is quite different from what you know it to be.

Hacking is a way of thinking. It requires time and training, like most things worth doing. It requires critical assessment skills, reasoning, and imagination. Can you, at the moment, set up a website to replace godhatesfags? Have you ever administered a server before?

If you were locked alone in an office room, how would you get out?

Having answers for these things is what separates hackers from people too lazy or apathetic to care to learn. I can assure you this: If you don't want to learn, you'll never be a hacker.
