If you are hear reading this website I suspect that you are interested in becoming a hacker. To become a hacker is hard work because there is really no way to teach it. It takes about 2-4 years to become a hacker. If you are lazy you will not become a hacker so just quit reading now. Now for the rest of us.
First of all I want to set one thing straight. Hacking to not being able to break into a system, it is the ability to find new undiscovered exploits to break into a system. But, in today's society they are all labeled the same. If you plan to read my other guides, you need to know a few terms.
Box = computer
Unix = A operating system I will explain later.
lame_box = shell account
To become a real hacker you need to have a unix box. Because, most internet sites run unix, It is important for you to have a unix box as well.
To obtain a unix box:
You can either buy a box set or you can get free versions.
You can get BSD or Linux. BSD is old and hard to use. On the other hand, Linux is easy to use and secure.
I would recommend a Linux box over BSD just because its so much easier to use. You can buy a box set of linux at Best Buy, Comp USA or something. (There are free versions but you would have to find someone that has Linux and tell the person to burn it for you.) Linux is free to distribute so its not illegal to burn somone a copy. To obtain a free copy of Linux, I would recommend going to a Linux discussion group at a college. Tell them that you are interested in Linux but you don't have a copy yet and they should give you a copy.
Installation Instructions for Linux: Installing Linux is quite simple and there are plenty of support over the web. Just go to a search engine and search for Linux installation instructions and you should find the information that you need. There is really no point for me to go over how to Install Linux because if you want to become a hacker you should be able to do something that simple.
To hack you need to be able to go online. So if you want to hack you need to be able to go online with linux. The problem is that Linux or any other unix operating systems have to have a PPP (point to point protocal) internet connection. Now AOL does not offer a PPP connection. So if you have AOL you cannot hack.
How to you get PPP?
Most if not all broadband or DSL connections are PPP. However on the other hand, most dial-up aren't. So if you have a broadband connection you are lucky and don't need to worry about anything. If you have dail-up, and are not sure if you have a PPP connection or not, contact you ISP (Internet Service Provider).
For those of you who do not have a PPP connection, you need to get one or you cannot hack. Look in your phone book for internet service providers and ask them that you are interested in a PPP connection. I know that Archers (the ISP) offers a PPP connection for only $15 per month. That should be cheaper than your current connection unless you are using Juno or Netzero.
After you have a unix-box and a PPP connection,, you should probably pick up a book on Linux, BSD or any other version that you are using. I would recommend a book like (Running Linux by Matt Welsh, Matthias Kalle Dalheimer, and Lar Kaufman) because its more beginner's oriented. You should be able to pick it up at your local libary or bookstore. If you are using any other versions of unix, I would recommend a book that is part of the O'Reilly Collection. I find them more insightful and great for beginners.
Like I said in Intro to Hacking, Hacking is hard work. Thats why Hackers must have a constant state of mind. Hacker need to have a constant need to expand there knowledge. Information indicates that most hackers are between the age of 15 -25, I suggest you tell your friends that you are busy and you can't go to partys. On the other hand you could be a geek which is great. Because, geeks don't worry about there social status which leaves more time for more important things such as thinking. But, if you are not a geek, don't be discouraged. There are many non-geek hackers as well. Just make sure you read my How to Become a Gook Hacker guide and follow the instructions.
Now moving to the state of mind. Learning, is essential to hacking. You must first learn then hack. You cannot be lazy. To become a hacker you also need to read a lot. How else are you going to learn. Laziness and boredom are enemies to a hacker. A hacker should aways be learning and never be bored. If this seems like to much, you shouldn't be a hacker. To become a sucessful hacker, it takes around 2-4 years depending on intelligence and how much work you put into it.
Becoming a hacker is not easy. I cannot stress this enough. It is not to discourage you be to warn you. You must spend at least 4hrs a day on the computer or reading computer related materials.
But, you don't have to learn everythink all by yourself. You can share knowledge with hackers you know or you can go to a 2600 meeting. If you do not know what that is go to to find out.
Now on to the basic skills.
There are many necessary skills to become a hacker. The most important one of them all is you must know how to program. I recommend learning Python as the first programming language. It is simple, clean and efficient. Python is free so you can get a copy of it at. There are good tutorials on the website so chances are you won't have to go out and spend $40 dollars on a book. But, once you get familiar with Python, I do recommend you get the book Programming with Python (Its part of the O'Reilly Collection and it $54.95). The examples in the book are complex so I recommend you build some modules or test other's modules with Python before you get the book.
Java is another must learn. Java encoding and decoding are much faster than Pythons but its slightly more difficult. Learn it as a second language.
But, it doesn't stop there. Hackers need to know many other languages. Hackers must know C and C++, but they are very difficult to learn which is why its not recommended that you learn them first. To the point where you can learn a new language every 2-3 days, is when you have perfected the art of programming.
Other must know languages are Perl and LISP. I strongly suggest that you know these two languages because they are so popular in todays web.
HTML is also important to learn. It is not a programming language but all hackers know HTML. Because it is so easy to learn, I do not think that there will be any problem for anyone to learn it. There are a lot of junk out there about HTML and you might get lost in all the junk so I recommend the book (HTML & XTML The Definitive Guild 5th edition) by Chuck Musciano & Bill Kennedy. Its $39.95 and you should be able to find it in your local book store.
You also must know how to run a unix-box. I suggest getting one of the versions of Unix (like Linux). Its free so you don't have to spend a dime. To see how to get a free copy please go back to the Intro to Hacking guide.
There are a few simple rules you must follow to insure you don't get caught:
1. Never click on a sign in icon.
They trace you and bust you.
2. Always be careful don't tell people about hacking that you don't trust
3. Use a lame_box to get the victim computer.
To get a lame_box, there are websites that allow you to use there shell box for free so that could be your lame_box.
Don't hack into Military, goverment, big company boxes or your screwed.
For beginners hack .edu or .org server.
Of course the safest way is not to get caught at all. If you don't know what a lame_box is go back to the Intro to Hacking Guide.
Now we will learn about the more technical stuff.
Lets begin with the basics. Ports allow a box to offer the services to another box.
The most common ports are 21,23,25,80,110.
21- FTP
23- Telnet
25- SMTP
80- HTTP
110- POP3
These are the most common ports but there are much more than that. Thats why you need a port scanner to find out which of the ports are open.
Nmap is a good scanner but there are many others.
To install nmap download it in .rpm form.
They have it in a .exe form now so if you wish to just experiment with hacking or don't have a unix box (You should have one by now).
To download it go to and they have a lot of information on NMAP.
Then go into bash a linux program similar to dos that you should have learned by now if you didn't go get the book Running Linux.
After the download, type in command from bash.
install it.
To run it
bash$ nmap -sS target.com
It will show all the ports that are open, and the state of the port and the service of the port. It will also to a tcp sequence prediction and a remote operating system guess. The remote operating system guess is extremely important. The nmap program guesses what the servers operating system is. There is another way to do it as i will show below.
lets say port 21 is open.
In bash type in:
bash$ telnet target.com 21
trying __.__.__.__
connected to target.com
target.com FTP server (XXXXXOS XX) ready
quit
goodbye
connection closed by foreign host.
The XXXX in quotations stands for the operating system the server is using.
Just by doing that you have found out the operating system.
If you find that the operating system that is shown when you telnet into port 21 is different from the operating system guess during the nmap scan, the server is probabaly faking there operating system. I would go with the operating system guess during the nmap scan. It is probably the more accurate of the two.
Now we should try port 25.
bash$ telnet target.com 25
trying __.__.__.__.
connected to target.com
target.com ESMTP XXXXX XX.XX.XX
quit
target.com closing connection
connection closed by foreign host.
The XXXX is the daemon that is begin used.
Now you know the SMTP daemon and the version, and the operating system.
If there are other ports that you found go ahead and telnet into them to check it out.
WARNING !! (Telnet is not illegal so you can telnet as much as you want but some ISP may step in and take action if they find a large amount of Telneting. But, as long as they have no proof of you breaking into computers you are fine.)
I realize this tutorial may be confusing so if you have any questions email me a or click on this link: Submit Question and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
This guide is meant for people that have already read the Port Scanning Basics so if you have not done so please go back and read it.
Once you have the daemon and the operating system of your target, go to one of the online exploit databases and find the exploits for that type of daemon and operating system.
