I recently got very interested (once again) in network security and ways to bypass it. This happened while I was revising for an exam on networks. I decided it was time I stopped wondering and took a look into how hard hacking actually is.
Now I am sure many people have done this before, but if you haven’t STOP. there are so many websites out there claiming to teach you how to hack, but then they are filled with Script Kiddies asking “how do i hack my girlfriends myspace” or “how do I get someone’s msn password” etc etc. This isn’t hacking.
I fully recommend having a go at hacking if you are interested, its not as bad an illegal and terrorism-funding-fuelling as many people make out. You can do “good” hacking. Many people have a career in testing the security of networks and software. They are hackers.
So if you want to learn to hack I recommend starting with hackthissite.org a great website which teaches you all the basic skillsets of hacking. Its great fun, and that’s where I am picking it all up from. Ill be starting a series of posts on hints guiding people to the answers of the missions if they are struggling.
