A Question If You May.

[RWH-PF-GBS]

I'm new to the hacking world
and i wanted to start learning it now.
i know a lot of you will turn me down or laugh or whatever.
where in the forum can i start learning it from the basics.
and do i need any knowledge about anything before starting to learn the basics?
Hope some of you will help&guide me.
Thanks.

You don't really need any knowledge to learn the basics do ya? As the basics is the base knowledge. But I get your point. It is without a doubt an advantage to have used a computer for some years and are familiar with computer and networking concepts and so forth.

And no, we wont help or guide you anywhere unless you have a clear picture of your problem and situation.

what do you mean by problem and solution ?

We get way to mane people coming here and post shit like 'Hello, im a fucking n00b. How do i hax www.crap.com? Plizzzz help me!!!!......'. And we wont help with such questions. However. If the guy posted something more like 'Hi, I got this site of mine I want to do some pentesting on. I have port-scanned it and found the following port {$PORTS}. As you can see they run {$SERVICES}, what do you guys think is the best way to tackle this?' or alike, we help.

Basically, we are not a personal army. Why the bloody shit would we help people with no knowledge or interest for the field to do anything..

i can assure you that maybe i don't have a lot of knowledge but i do have a lot of interest...and i do want to learn and since i first posted this
i covered a large amount of information about the basics
such as learning Batch , HTML and Java...so don't tell me i don't have the interest when I'm so eager to learn X__X

You're probably good to go. Look around the tutorial section. There isn't a lot right now so you may have to lurk a bit. Unfortunately the archives aren't up, there was a ton of material in them to read.

Lolz, not if SOPA gets through

[RWH-PF-GBS]

Bro SOPA lost. now its PIPA and ACTA(something like that)
PIPA - still very strong in america
ACTA - EUROPE & GLOBALLY

[Mellow]

SOPA didn't lose, it was just shelved along with PIPA. PIPA was the less extreme of the two. ACTA proably won't be signed in america in 2013 if the protesting continues. That is if there's still some democracy left these day...

I recall myself and many others who have skill now saying something similar when we all first started. You got the right attitude, now just read until there's no tomorrow, find a couple of challenge/war-gaming sites, and then the right questions will start coming to you. Whenever you're ready, we'll be waiting with the answers.

Well...until you get into shit like spraying a heap, then you're f*#!'ed!

I would say stay away from the whole anonymous shit (HOIC \ LOIC, Slowloris). Anonymous is a bunch of idiots and a tiny percentage of knowledgeable people. The tools mentioned are tools made for destruction and does no good at all. Tho Slowloris was not discoverd/created by anon iirc, but still. Its a stupid thing to get involved with. Knowing the technology/techniques is fine, but using it for what they are created for. Not such a good idea.
