If you reading this for the first time and i haven't said hi "HI and welcome to GSO."As we are growing in size i think alot of the same question's will keep coming up so i thought i would post a newbie resource to get you all started.
Why hack.
Because it's kool and your going to meet load's of birds,get laid,and then show of to your friend's.Well don't bother starting.We all have our personal reason's,maybe to get a better job to secure your our network's,exploration and beacuse it's brilliant fun and you will meet a good crowd from all over the world.
How to start.
If your new to all of this like i was i would take a few day's and read all the past post's specially in this forum.Also check out one of our affliate's Blackcode.com.Generally just read all the past post's in the newbie section so you can at least get a feel of what's it all about.
Reasearch your question.It's more than likely to have been answered somewhere on the net.YOU must learn to use Google to find the info and also rember to use our site's search facilty.There's ton's of it out there.Remember you will not make any friend's by posting a question which had just got answered in a previos thread.
Your Machine.
It's more than likely that you will be starting out with some kind of window's machine.You will often hear that Linux is the hacker's choice but as your only just starting don't worry you can still learn alot.
Hacker tool's
I recommend going to SecuirtyFocus.com and to the tool's section just to read up what's out there to get a general idea.
The first thing you will need is a portscanner.NMAP is the no1 but as it run's on Linux you will have to use some of the other's.
SuperScan by foundstone. A fast realiable port scanner.One i often use.
LanGuard Network scanner.This will detect share's,remote OS,exploit's and Dictionary attack agaisnt SQL server's. I liked the old model but since they have realeased this version i have found it doesn't always detect window's share's.
IPEYE is a command line port scanner (downside is that it only work's on XP and 2000)
FSCAN from FoundStone. Another command line port scanner which also doe's UDP scans
There are many more portscanners out there but the above are the one's i use.
The Law.
There are many Government agencies out there watching every move so remember the best way to learn is by securing your own computer and then possibly get together with your friend's and build a network or get them to try and hack your machine and vice versa.Check out the atricles section for how it's done.
I want to learn to programme which language is the best.
The most common one's out their are Visual Basic,C,C++,Java,Perl,Assembler,and Python.For the record i can't programme and i plan to start this autumn.I decided to start with Python beacuse the general opion say it's the easiest.
Good Luck.
Note to all member's.My finger's are hurting and come tomorrow going to lose my connection for a while.As i said before i would like this thread to be a good introduction for newbie's so if you have any good link's and basic articles re Telnet etc etc(rememer when you where new) can you post them.Many thank's.
Newbie's Please Read. Newbie's Resource.
