Learning Basic Hacking Skills ↠1::Run Unix. Unix is the operating system of the Internet. While you can learn to use the Internet without knowing Unix, you cant be an Internet hacker without understanding Unix. For this reason, the hacker culture today is pretty strongly Unix-centered. A Unix like Linux can run along side Microsoft Windows on the same machine. Download Linux online or find a local Linux user group to help you with installation. ↠2::Write HTML: If you dont know how to program, learning basic HyperText Mark-Up Language (HTML) and gradually building proficiency is essential. What you see when you look at a website of pictures, images, and design components is all coded using HTML. For a project, set out to learn how to make a basic home page and work your way up from there. In your browser, open the page source information to examine the HTML to see an example. Go to Web Developer > Page Source in Firefox and spend time looking at the code. You can write HTML in a basic word processing program like Notepad or SimpleText and save your files as text only, so you can upload them to a browser and see your work translated. ↠3::Learn the language of programing: Before you start writing poems you have to learn basic grammar. Before you break the rules you have to learn the rules. But if your ultimate goal is to become a hacker, youre going to need more than basic English to write your masterpiece. Python is a good language to start off with because its cleanly designed, well documented, and relatively kind to beginners. Despite being a good first language, it is not just a toy; it is very powerful, flexible, and well-suited for large projects. Java is an alternative, but its value as a first programming language has been questioned. ↠4::If you get into serious programming, you will have to learn C, the core language of Unix. C++ is very closely related to C; if you know one, learning the other will not be difficult. C is very efficient with your machines resources, but will soak up huge amounts of your time on debugging and is often avoided for that reason, unless the efficiency of your computer is especially important. (Note: If you want to start your career as a ethical hacker do some certifications on Cyber security) Resources: Free with Certification: →Cyber security-goo.gl/d0E78Z →Cryptography-https://coursera.org/course/crypto Paid Certifications: →Red Hat security https://access.redhat/security/updates/active/ →Microsoft Products Security Bulletin- goo.gl/4LCMZ4 →Linux Security Repository -lwn.net/Security/ →Ubunut Software Security Center -goo.gl/3NhoUa ↠5:: Thinking Like a Hacker Think creatively. Now that youve got the basic skills in place, you can start thinking artistically. Hackers are like artists, philosophers, and engineers all rolled up into one. They believe in freedom and mutual responsibility. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved. Hackers take a special delight in solving problems, sharpening their skills, and exercising their intelligence.For true hackers, the boundaries between play, work, science, and art all tend to disappear, or to merge into a high-level creative playfulness. Go to science fiction conventions, which is a great way to meet hackers and proto-hackers. Consider training in a martial art. The kind of mental discipline required for martial arts seems to be similar in important ways to what hackers do. The most hacker-ly martial arts are those which emphasize mental discipline, relaxed awareness, and control, rather than raw strength, athleticism, or physical toughness. Tai Chi is a good martial art for hackers.
