If you read carefully all what i'm telling here, you are smart and you work hard on it,
you'll be able to hack. i promise. That doesn't really make you a hacker (but you're on the way).
A hacker is someone who is able to discover unknown vulnerabilities in software and able to
write the proper codes to exploit them.
NOTE: If you've been unlucky, and before you found this document, you've readen the
guides to (mostly) harmless hacking, then forget everything you think you've learnt from them.
You won't understand some things from my tutorial until you unpoison your brain.
Some definitions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm going to refer to every kind of computer as a box, and only as a box.
This includes your PC, any server, supercomputers, nuclear silos, HAL9000,
Michael Knight's car, The Matrix, etc.
The systems we're going to hack (with permission) are plenty of normal users, whose
don't have any remote idea about security, and the root. The root user is called
superuser and is used by the admin to administer the system.
I'm going to refer to the users of a system as lusers. Logically, I'll refer to
the admin as superluser.
Operating Systems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, I assume you own a x86 box (this means an intel processor or compatible) running windoze9x,
or perhaps a mac (motorola) box running macOS.
You can't hack with that. In order to hack, you'll need one of those UNIX derived operating
systems.
This is for two main reasons:
-the internet is full of UNIX boxes (windoze NT boxes are really few) running webservers and
so on. to hack one of them, you need a minimun knowledge of a UNIX system, and what's better
than running it at home?
-all the good hacking tools and exploit codes are for UNIX. You won't be able to use them unless
you're running some kind of it.
Let's see where to find the unix you're interested on.
The UNIX systems may be divided in two main groups:
- commercial UNIXes
- free opensource UNIXes
A commercial unix's price is not like windoze's price, and it usually can't run on your box,
so forget it.
The free opensource UNIXes can also be divided in:
- BSD
These are older and difficult to use. The most secure OS (openBSD) is in this group.
You don't want them unless you're planning to install a server on them.
- Linux
Easy to use, stable, secure, and optimized for your kind of box. that's what we need.
I strongly suggest you to get the SuSE distribution of Linux.
as i added here some tips for SuSE, so all should be easier.
Visit www.suse.de and look for a local store or order it online.
(i know i said it the software was free, but not the CDs nor the manual nor the support.
It is much cheaper than windoze anyway, and you are allowed to copy and distribute it)
If you own an intel box, then order the PC version.
If you own a mac box, then order the PowerPC version.
Whatever you do, DON'T PICK THE COREL DISTRIBUTION, it sucks.
It's possible you have problem with your hardware on the installation. Read the manual, ask
for technical support or buy new hardware, just install it as you can.
This is really important! READ THE MANUAL, or even buy a UNIX book.
Books about TCP/IP and C programming are also useful.
If you don't, you won't understand some things i'll explain later. And, of course, you'll
never become a hacker if you don't read a lot of that 'literature'.
the Internet
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes! you wanted to hack, didn't you? do you want to hack your own box or what?
You want to hack internet boxes! So lets connect to the internet.
Yes, i know you've gotten this document from the internet, but that was with windoze
and it was much easier. Now you're another person, someone who screams for knowledge and wisdom.
You're a Linux user, and you gotta open your way to the Internet.
You gotta make your Linux box to connect to the net,
so go and set up your modem (using YaST2 in SuSE).
Common problems:
If your box doesn't detect any modems, that probably means that you have no modem installed
:-D (not a joke!).
Most PCI modems are NOT modems, but "winmodems". Winmodems, like all winhardware, are
specifically designed to work ONLY on windoze. Don't blame linux, this happens because the
winmodem has not a critical chip that makes it work. It works on windoze cause the vendor
driver emulates that missing chip. And hat vendor driver is only available for windoze.
ISA and external modems are more probably real modems, but not all of them.
If you want to make sure wether a modem is or not a winmodem, visit http://start.at/modem.
Then use your modem to connect to your ISP and you're on the net. (on SuSE, with wvdial)
Don't get busted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's suppose you haven't skipped everything below and your Linux bow is now connected to the net.
It's now turn for the STEALTH. You won't get busted! just follow my advices and you'll be safe.
- Don't hack
this is the most effective stealth technique. not even the FBI can bust you. :-)
If you choose this option, stop reading now, cause the rest is worthless and futile.
- If you change a webpage, DON'T SIGN! not even with a fake name. they can trace you, find
your own website oe email address, find your ISP, your phone number, your home...
and you get busted!!
- be PARANOID, don't talk about hacking to anyone unless he is really interested in hacking too.
NEVER tell others you've hacked a box.
- NEVER hack directly from your box (your_box --> victim's box).
Always use a third box in the middle (your_box --> lame_box --> victim's box).
Where lame_box is a previously hacked box or...a shell account box!
A shell account is a service where you get control of a box WITHOUT hacking it.
There are a few places where shell accounts are given for free. One of them is nether.net.
- Don't hack dangerous boxes until you're a real hacker.
Which boxes are dangerous:
Military boxes
Government boxes
Important and powerful companies' boxes
Security companies' boxes
Which boxes are NOT dangerous:
Educational boxes (any .edu domain)
Little companies' boxes
Japanese boxes
- Always connect to the internet through a free and anonymous ISP
(did i tell you that AOL is NOT an ISP?)
- Use phreking techniques to redirect calls and use others' lines for your ISP call.
Then it'll be really difficult to trace you. This is not a guide to phreaking anyway.

Discilamer:
These blog series are for educational purpose only. Please ask the person you wanna hack to before doing anything.
i'll not be responisible in any casse!!
