A Genius Hacker

I don’t know how expert i am but i believe these
enough for becoming a hacker and i always try
to follow them. So just sharing with you.
A) Programming:
1. Python/perl : Learn Python or Perl
programming language. You need one of these
two language . Do you know why ? For example ,
creating exploit, Making Custom tools etc.
2.C/C++: You should know this language.
Because this will help you in many way. It is
powerful language. Perhaps you already know
that most of complex and powerful software
coded in C/C++. And The Linux/Unix operating
system language is created in C Language. For
finding exploit or making some nasty thing you
need this language.
3. Assembly Language: AH!!! Worry ? Don’t
worry. It is not too hard for learning to read or
understanding the code. Really you need asm if
you are more serious about hacking. Without
assembly language you will not be able to find
the 0day against software , because debugger
only output in asm code. Actually you don’t need
to be coder but you should able to read it,
understand it… Also if you want to know how
computer internal works then best way to learn
asm. So go with Intel Syntax and nasm.
4. PHP/SQL/Java script/html: If you want to
move to Web hacking then learn at least 2
languages(PHP and MySQL). For example If you
found php code injection vulnerable so how you
will exploit it? Clear answer is you need PHP
knowledge. And if you want to attack Client side
then you need javascript and html knowledge,
For example EXPLOITING password protected
html pages , cros site scripting, Exploiting CSRF
etc  . Have you ever heard about SQL injection ?
Guess why i told you to learn SQL.Even If you
want to find 0day for other framework like
wordpress,joomla etc then you must need to
have PHP/MySQL knowledge.
But if you are not serious about hacking and
want to hack only for fun then some tools will do
the job for you(this called skid and script kiddie),
But be aware most of time(85%) you will be
failed.
B) Networking:
Hackers hack over network(Internet?). So guess
why you need to learn networking. You have to
understand how to connect, get familiar with
ports, protocols etc. I suggest you to learn:
1. How network work + TCP/IP.
2. Protocols and port.
3. OSI model
C) Operating System:
Of course without operating system nothing is
possible. And you must need to learn about
operating system deeply. You should be very
good in various OS . Earn some Internal
knowledge about operating system. Run all
existing tools of an OS. See how it works.
1. Linux: Ah , Linux is My first choice. I love
Linux OS. It is Open source. Hacker should
choice Open source operating system so that
they can see the sources code, can modify , run
various open source tools etc. I can’t explain lol,
Get it right now!
2. Windows: Favorite target operating system
for hackers. A lot of bugs and users over the
world. Not open source. So you should learn it
well. Still i read Windows assembly language and
windows internal books instead Linux.
3.Mac:You may need it. But really i don’t know
much about mac.
C) LAB:
1. Install 2 targets operating system. Linux(Get
Ubuntu,Debain,Fedora,Redhat,OpenSuse etc)
and windows. Don’t be fucker as some trainer
doing with windows only as it is easy to exploit.
So Linux also your target.
1. Install various software and tools. Run them .
Learn them. See how it works. Install some
security software, attack against your target
system(Metasploit, nmap etc).
2. Install various networking software such as
http,ftp,pop3,smtp,rdp,ssh,nntp etc and attack
them and try to break them. try to find some
bug such as BOF by Fuzzers . Even install other
software For web hacking such as
VB,MyBB,PhpBB , joomla etc and run Various
tools against these application.
D) Journey:
Now You know what is going on and it is the time
to start the journey. Now read some security/
hacking books, Search on Google and you will
see most of security hole occur from
Programming and for networking problem. You
will learn very fast. Just remember journey will
not be end. So be careful taking enough food
(Programming+Networking+OS+Motivation
+patient) before starting the long journey.
Don’t give up!
Hope you will be one more genius !!!
