What is hacking?

Hacking is a hobby. There are
many ways of hacking. Some
break security systems, some
reverse code. In my opinion
everything has to do with
hacking. If you want to become a
“hacker”. You have to get some
knowledge in computer science
and love to play around with it.
That’s basically everything a
hacker needs ;) .

What do i have to learn?
This really depends on what you
want to achieve. For example “I
want to learn to break into
systems with tools out there and i
don’t want to know a
programming language”. For me
you are no hacker then but then
you just need to learn metaspolit
and co. ;)
There are some main topics in my
opinion that are important.
Using a computer
(Linux,
configuration and
so on)
Networking
(Protocols and how
does everything
work)
Software
(Developing and
Reversing)
Hardware (How
does your CPU work
and so on. Not my
best topic but i got
some knowledge
here)
Using a computer
Most people, who read my blog,
have this knowledge. If you don’t
i give you the advise to install
Linux and play around with it.
Configure some Apache servers or
something like that. Just play
around till you feel comfortable
with it. Compile some programs
and so on. If you are able to
compile your Linux kernel and
use it (maybe with an optimized
configuration for your pc). This
topic should be done for you.
You don’t need to know how to
compile a kernel. Just feeling
comfortable with Linux should
proof you know how to use your
computer ;) .
The other topics can be learned
parallel. There is no need to focus
on one topic.

Networking
In my opinion everyone needs to
know how to setup a network.
Learn how to calculate the subnet
mask and co. This should be easy
just read something about it.
Google helps alot here ;) .
Learn how everything works.
Examples are ARP Protocol, TCP/
IP Protocol and how WLAN works.
With this knowledge you can have
alot of fun. You should be able to
MitM attack a router and pc with
this. With this setup sniffing
should be possible. This is enough
knowledge here in my opinion but
depending on your needs you can
lern more. Google topics or
interesting tools
pcap (for devs, if
you want or know
software
development, this is
interesting for you)
arpspoof (dsniff
package)
fragrouter (-B1 was
it if i remember
right to do
forwarding so the
network doesn’t
break if you hook in
there)
dsniff tools etc.

All tools you need here are on
the net and knowing a network
can be quite funny on a LAN
Party. Guys never really never
ever login private pages on a lan
party or something like this.
Public networks are public for a
network hacker ;) .
