[dethdude335]

Pertinent if you want to read it.

It's a very long time since I read that; I can't remember specifics.

If you've already downloaded it, why don't you try reading it? If you can understand it pretty well then it's pretty good for beginners. If it's too much for you to handle right now, then try finding a different book.

Well, anything is better than nothing for a beginner. I'd rather you read that than do nothing at all, betterment of skills-wise.

The book cheats in giving you solutions to things you didn't even know were problems; you're jumping straight to running premade code. In doing so, you hardly know anything at all. On the one hand, if this works for your ends, fine, do it.

On the other, if you want to know what you're doing and why, and be a better hacker and more knowledgeable person because of it:

1. You can find some good ebooks on the subject here
2. Googling such as "hacking textfiles" can bring up some elucidating reads.
3. Doing the challenges on this site taught me tons. And reading around on the forums. you could probably make a weekend of reading mod//dev posts and learn quite a bit from it.


Oh yeah, and your topic's been hacked. It's about hackforums.net now.

Read the book if you want, but understand that it's shit and will teach you nothing.

Back on topic (hackforums), I got my first response to my bait topic.

As follows:

ok first of all its "linux" script kiddie and second of all you can't hack with linux, go find the best viruses and rats and show me how many of them work on linux you fucking skiddie.

however i will still help you because i feel kind...

you need to "rm -f C:/Windows/System32"

Pro.

Lol, a forum 'noob' answered the question. My bait topic failed. Pretty funny to read his response, however.

I guess that he hasn't been dumbed down (yet).

I'll give that guy a B; the whole rest of the forum, afaic, still fails. Lol, and they never figured out that the 'keyword' should have thrown up red flags all over the place.

Wow, I'm so glad I read this before downloading the thing. I get so sucked into stuff like this. I always fall for the great reviews. I guess that's something I'm going to have to chance if I'm going to be a hacker ^^

http://www.elite-hackers.com/ This site will teach you loads please check it out. The guys at HTS really don't want you to know about this site cause this is where they learnt all their l33t hax0r tr1xX. You will find very up to date information here is an example from the FAQ section.

Q: What is this Linux/UNIX thing all about?
A: There is a reason that I don't cover Linux or UNIX in my writings. That being because NOBODY USES IT! Linux and Unix came along after Apple, which followed Windows. I have reason to believe that UNIX and Linux stole code from these two great OS's to produce what they have now -- which isn't much. Most of the time running Linux and UNIX is spent in what they call a shell, like DOS. This makes a hacker's job extremely boring and difficult. Stick to the original pros, Microsoft and Apple know what they are doing.

The section on viruses is great I couldn't stop reading it. What an inspiration. This guy totally converted me to using Notepad the "The Internet's most versatile HTML editor". I mean, can your text editor do this?
