What you need to know to become a hacker:
1. Not to ask stupid questions on forums.
2. To never stop learning

learn as much as you can about programming and networking and the os'es you want to hack.

after 5-10 years you might just be a hacker


I don't believe there's a quick way to "hack." hacking isn't about mastering just a few exploits and tools. it's about knowing computers and software like the back of your hand so you can find exploits, think of new ways to hack and make new tools.

if you like computers that much... oh well... certainly not me.

Guys... I know many of you know this, but hacking into sites, servers, or whatever is almost always illegal. Since it is against the AUP to discuss illegal activities, this thread is closed...
