To get it out there, every damn forum, IRC channel or medium that is dedicated to the hacking and hacker universe has at least recieved this question once in it’s lifetime.

“How do I Hack?”

Look familiar? Well sure it does, because at one point in time we all have asked either ourselves or someone else this very question. Now the difference is how each of us turned out and learned along the way to the answer. I’m going to assume that this question is forged for hacking computer systems and bypassing security. For anyone looking to go out and ask this question to people they don’t know, let me give you some advice so save yourself some hassle and even from getting flamed.

• Read. You want to know as much as you can about the way the internet works and the technology that drives it. Specifically I would start with some old school texts from textfiles.com. Also reading this is a great start, albeit one of the best. Get books, sometimes reading a computer screen for so long can get nostalgic or boring, pick up a book and read it.
• Get Linux and get away from Windows. Learn it.Period.
• Start teaching yourself a programming language. Assembly is a start, even C++ or Java are good ones. Web languages are great to start with as well, because they are fast to learn, and can push you into understanding basic concepts around the higher-end languages.
• Get in with a good forum or group of people that will help you. I recommend suck-o.com, not because I frequent it myself, but because it is a place with people who are willing to teach you as much as they know themselves.
• Setup your own testing environment, either virtually (ie VMware) or a 2 computer isolated network.
• Start applying and testing the things that you’ve learned to your test environment, and make notes of your progress.

Now Hacking is a broad term, and I hate to have this post seem as if hacking only applies to computer systems, because it doesn’t. It can apply to almost every facet of life we experience daily, all it takes is some ingenuity and a will to hack something.
