BECOME A HACKER

HOW TO  BECOME A HACKER

Every One Know That Hackers are people who enjoy their activity both mentally and practically, they are problem solvers and new software builders, they are confident and believe in volunteer work and freedom, one of their basic rules that we should also adopt practically and not just theoretically is helping each other when it’s needed, yes, hackers help their mates whenever is needed. To be accepted in the world of hackers it depends only on you, depends in the biggest part on your attitude. Hackers try to understand every piece of a problem and then find or create the best solution, the motivation of being a hacker should come from your inside without any influence because the one who is going to be in the situation is you, and no one else. Being an original good hacker is a mind-set. 

But in the community of hackers there are a few rules to respect, and here they are:

The first rule is about your connection with the world, in the real world problems can’t be stopped and you have to think about the solution for every problem and strongly believing there is a solution for every problem, and if there is not you should create one. Hacking world is absolutely fascinating once you discover it and you understand it and for a hacker this world should be the only one, hackers have tons of fun by doing their activity but no one tells about that kind of fun, is the kind of fun where you have to work and put a lot of effort by exercising your own intelligence in order to succeed. As a hacker you should rather resolve a problem than complaining about having a problem, hacking is in fact a lifestyle.

The second rule is a matter of perfectionism; you should believe that once you solve a problem there is no need to do it again because you already did it in an ideal way. Jumping into solution isn’t a solution; you have to think at least twice before you get in action.  To behave like a real hacker you should not waste time on finding two solutions for the same problem, remember? There are a lot of problems that needs to be solved.The third rule is telling us about the evil work and boredom, they could seriously affect your activity as a hacker so they are categorized as being evil. One of the best ways to lose the contact with evolution and innovation is to become repetitive. A hacker is always creative and ready to build new stuff and if you are assaulted by boredom it means that you are not doing your job as you were supposed to, while breaking the first two rules. Freedom is the best, that’s the fourth rule; everyone loves freedom more than anything but they realize only when they loose it. Hackers don’t have a boss, hackers are their own leaders and it depends only on their person if they want to progress or not, but if we’re talking about a real hacker then he will always be in a bubble that’s growing. Leave borders somewhere far, you have to be very open minded in order to be a real hacker which means you should accept new concepts and ideas and work to realize them, you should make your own rules, a set of rules which is going to improve your creativity, a set of rules that should allow you to do whatever you want and whenever you want. Listening to orders must be excluded from the start; the main idea is about resolving problems with

your own concepts. What are you going to achieve if you are listening to others ideas? Nothing. It’s worse if you practice their ideas, so be free as a bird in the sky. Attitude can’t hide the lack of competence; this is the last rule you should respect. To behave like a hacker you should have a compatible attitude but don’t forget about the competence and the skills! An excess of attitude is not going to turn you into a real hacker, is going to turn you into a celebrity or a champion athlete. Hard work is the ultimate key of success that will help you open doors in the world of hackers, for being a hacker is needed to have intelligence, practice and it requests a lot of concentration, also you must be 100% dedicated. Those rules are going hand by hand, and if you broke one rule you are going to break them all. Respect is the priority, it all starts and ends with you, if you really respect yourself then you should respect your choices as well. 

I think those rules are a solid base for any successful person and respecting them would guide into a bright society with responsible people.

General Hacking Skills

When you build a house, you should have a strong base; it’s the same if we are talking about hacking. You need a base in hacking too so there are few hacking skills that are basic skills and I am going to present them to you:

First of all, you should know how to program and if you don’t know you should learn as fast as possible because that’s in a hacker’s basic package. Programming is the main skill, if you are a beginner and you don’t know what a computer language is about then stat using Python, it’s very good for beginners because everything in Python is so clear and it’s very well documented, I’d personally say it was designed 50% for beginners due to the simplicity you can work with.

You can find helpful tutorials at Python web site : Here

Python Here

After learning some basic programming, you will progress and I recommend learning how to work with C, the core language of UNIX, further more, if you know to work with C it would not be complicated to work with C++ because they are very close to each other. There are other programming languages that are important to hackers such as Perl or LISP. Perl is the best option if you love practice work despite this, Perl is used a lot for system administration.  LISP is harder to understand but once you get it you will be very proud of yourself and experienced because it will definitely help you to be a better programmer. Actually, only knowing the programming languages is not enough because you should exercise with your self to think about programming and solving the problems in a big way without a lot of time needed. 

Programming is not an easy skill so you have to write and read codes and repeat them until you get a certain meaning. Learn 

everything about HTML 

HTML is the Web’s markup language and it means Hypertext Markup Language, it’s very important because you learn practically how to build a web page from 0 and it’s helping a lot if you are at the start of programming because it’s codes will run your mind. Writing in HTML definitely opens your horizons and makes you think even bigger than before. What I love about HTML is that you are able to create anything, you can write, you can create images and forms as you like only by knowing the codes. 

English language is a must

This is an international key of communication, everything has an English version too even if it’s not the mother language in the country. If you are not sure about your English skills, you should make them at least perfect as fast as you can because English is main language in hacker culture and on the internet. Studies show that English has the biggest and richest technical vocabulary than any other language of the globe. Grammar is the key to open the English world. Go for it !

Learning computer networking

Because you are definitely going to break into websites and network resources, it’s a very important and useful skill because there are a lot of ways to hack a website but it’s all depending on the server and on the technology that the site uses such as ASP.net, PHP, etc.

There are sites specially designed for hackers which will take you on a long road from SQL injection to XXS attacks, just to make sure you have learned everything.

Learn UNIX and Linux UNIX

represents the operating system on the internet and if you don’t want to be a hacker this is not a must, but if you are going to be a hacker you should learn and understand it. Linux is another computer operating system and you can get very close to it by downloading and using it on your own machine. To get a great experience in programming and also good skills run the systems, understand them, read the codes, modify the codes and do it all over again and don’t forget to have fun while learning. So, those are some general hacking skills and if you are going to take care of them and put them in practice you should become a hacker.

Why Do People Hack? 

Some hackers hack just for having fun, they break into websites, servers and network systems for their entertainment, other hackers do it because they like to be in the center of someone’s universe and they get there by hacking into different stuff and they can do it also to prove someone something at a moment of their experiences as hackers. They also enjoy doing it because it’s like a mind puzzle where you are free to put any piece as you want but you know it has to work and that’s why hackers find it extremely satisfying to hack.

• There are hackers who hack a system just to get valuable information, others are interested in stealing files or services in order to sell them later and get money on it and a big part of hacking adepts are in this category. 
• Money is another reason for hacking; some of the people become hackers just to be able to make money form hacking techniques such as gaining entry to servers that contain credit cards details. 
• Your computer may be hacked if you notice that a big amount of memory is taken, hackers also hack to use other computers in activities such as depositing pirated software, pirated music, pornography, hacking tools etc. They can also use your computer as an internet relay or as a part of a DDoS attack. 
• Most of the times hackers are categorized as challenge lovers and hacking has a strong connection with challenging because basically when you are hacking you are challenging yourself to try new things, to solve the most complicated problems and if you will succeed once you won’t stop, because that is what is hacking about, so you are always putting yourself in front of intellectual challenges
