I am completely new to hacking, I know my way round a computer but I don't know a thing about programming or hacking. I started this topic so that people could help me and give me a place to start, YouTube tutorials etc. I have been looking at many websites and I have been doing a bit of research and this seemed to be the most organised website. I have read that you don't take too well to 'hacking noobs' but was hoping that you could point me in the right direction. Originally I thought that hacking was a single skill that let you hack whatever you want and do what you want and that learning one code was like a master code but I have now come to believe it is many different skills and you need a different set of skills for each hack(correct me of wrong). I understand that if I am to learn any skills at all that I need to put in a lot of time and work which I am willing to do. As I've said before I will need to research thoroughly for each new hack I want to do but I was hoping that people knew some good tutorials and topics to start on learning the basics.

You are totally right :), tough, we do not really like to point out every new member, because every new member asks the same question and it has been answered alot of times :D.
So welcome, and take a good look around, use the search box, and i am sure you will find the right direction.

You will find once you start searching the forum that there is no one place to start. The first thing you have to do is figure out what questions you need the answers to. You can't get answers until you have the proper questions. Also for future reference you may not want to post your questions in places like the tutorial section as this is a place for people to post there tutorials. Questions are better off asked in the general section, perhaps the hacking and security section or even the random section. Don't worry, you will figure out what you need to know soon enough. That is, if you know where to look.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Well said, sir.
Yeah just dig out the forum. Read the topics you find interesting. You'll surely get your answers.

Thanks for all the info guys, so what you recommend is that for example I wanted to hack, amazon then I should look through tutorials to find one and after a lot of hard work I should start to learn how to do it without tutorials? Sorry about posting in the wrong place, realised what I'd done after I'd posted.

.......I would most definitely not recommend hacking Amazon. I think you missed the point. Ok, here's an example. Hacking is not a thing. It's a lot of things. What are those things? Those are your questions. Programming is a good one. Learn a language, but don't learn a bunch of languages. Pick one and stick with it. Most people here will recommend Python as a first. But python alone won't help you hack. Learning web based languages like PHP and SQL are important. C is another good one. Perhaps investigating asm so you'll understand what your machine is doing. Also, protocols and networking. Learning the ins and outs of those are good too. I don't support click n hack but maybe try Backtrack or related tools. It might help you understand how some of these things work. Most people will recommend that you find yourself a linux and learn it. Bash. Understanding Unix and the like is very important.
You should search the forum for awhile. I don't think you'll be hacking Amazon anytime soon.

Pick a direction and start slamming keys. Oh and welcome.

I'm sorry to say but you are also that n00b who wants to destroy things. Let me put it this way : READ EVERY TOPIC OF THIS FORUM. You will definately have your answers. Have a burning desire.
Sorry if I was rude. I'm a noob but I hate those who don't want to burn their asses to get something. :)
-
Ha ha I know I'm not going to be hacking Amazon or anything of the sort I was just using it as an example and I think I'll start with Python. Secondly do you mean Linux the computer program like windows? Also I don't want to be a hacker who try's to destroy things I just want the challenges of hacking and being able to say 'O I hacked such and such.' I believe you have more control and skill if you simply hack something an then leave it be and not completely destroy someone else's work.
-
Well I guess it will all depend on what kind of "hacking" you'd like to do. Programming and Hacking are completely different, but they work together. Python is a good starting language to learn and I would also suggest Java and then C++ A lot of people don't like Java but I figure since most devices (such as computers, smartphones, consoles, etc) are Java its a good language to learn and will also give you incite into learning C++ The reason why I suggest C++ because it is one of the strongest languages you can learn.
Now as far as hacking, you know that you want to be a "White Hat" hacker... but there are several different fields to hacking... There's the programming aspect which will probably take the longest to learn but then you need information for say hacking websites which would be doing stuff like rfi/lfi, etc (information you can find in the tutorials board) so need to know more specifically what you want to accomplish otherwise I can't really help
-
Secondly do you mean Linux the computer program like windows?
Yes I mean the Linux OS. Not really like windows except in the sense that they are both operating systems. I run ubuntu. Others may run Debian, or Arch.

Guys I can't believe how much help you've been, you've really given me a good starting point and I can't thank you enough. I'm going to start by learning Python and then Java(useful links?). I also don't want to ruin people's stuff I.e. being a 'white hat' but I know later on if I get as far as I want I will want to use 'black hat' at times but not for pure destruction although it could be fun.... Only joking but thanks again

Try googling Think Python.

Python, all you need to know right now. (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/)

Bro, This is good..
Welcome To EVILZONE, Have FUN !

Try googling Think Python.
I learn a lot about Python from this book.
I also agree that knowing Python is very important these days. It can be a great tool for many things!
