Welcome to the forums, please make an introduction at the member intro section.

Before anyone less patient then me comes here and kicks the hell out of you, let me tell you this nicely:

- Go and read this many times until you understand what is written there:
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html

- After that, go to the ebooks section and find some book on programming. Start with Python if you want a gentle start, start with C if you want to go straight to the holy grail language.

- Once you have made several programs and understand how programming works, go to the ebooks section and find a book called Hacking: The Art of Exploitation. Always use the search bar to find things quickly.

- Programming and that book will take you some time, but once you feel more confident about what you have learned, then move unto a book called Shellcoders Handbook.
After this, you will know what to do next.

- In the meantime, please read all the sticky posts here, and read some tutorials and ebooks. Feel free to ask questions, just try to do a bit more searching and googling next time, because everything I said was already said before on this forum.

Cheers and good luck. :)

"A programmer’s greatest enemy isn’t the tools or the boss or the artists or the design or the legacy code or the third party code or the API or the OS. A programmer’s greatest enemy is getting stuck.
Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford

It's not that we don't like it, it is because people have this misconception of what hacking is, and are more referring to being a script kiddie.


@OP, yes. Learn to code before anything.

Don't try and learn to learn assembly first. I tried that once when I was dumb because I thought low-level meant easier. :P

If you must, try C and then go to asm. The two sort of complement each other.

This is very true, I learned C as my first programming language which really helped me out later when I started looking into assembly. So if you really just want to start looking at assembly, C would probably be a good place to start. Otherwise Python is really fun, and it is quite a bit easier than C to learn up front.

You can be a hacker by learning small basic of hacking here or another hacking related forum. never try to learn big hacking at first.

Is that really your signature?

I was about to ask the same question. Thanks for your tip. Will read through all of it before I ask anything else. I'm hoping to become one of the finest hacker in my country. I know it's a bit ambitious, but I will.
