I've worked in IT for 8 years and asked myself the same question a few months ago. Felt a bit stupid. Ask yourself what you want to hack first, think of the legalities behind it, how you can protect yourself and then use the wee exercises on this site to get started. It's really helpful. https://www...

Historically based on general rumblings, I'd say Russia were always feared when I was gaming online years ago. Not sure what it's like now.

Put on a white mask. Seems to help out. In fairness it's probably the most important step that folk often trip up on. If I shout, who will hear me? will they recognise me? Depending on what you shout, will folk come after you and will they find you? How can they find you? These are questions i'd be ...

Learning a language from scratch is hard because anything past Hello World is simply impossible if you don't have knowledge of what that language can do for you.

One min I'm changing toner, and the next I'm troubleshooting file replication services lack of syncing between domain controllers. Experience I've built up over ti...

Linux is next on my list. Ditched Windows for MacOS for the last two years. Windows 10 is pretty straightforward. I don't want to be that guy that says Linux is a dead OS because of compatibility issues just because I don't understand it. In today's market you can't afford to be single minded in Win...

I think you are meaning that if you're on a uni, school or business network and some kind of internet filter like BLOXX or Smoothwall is preventing you from accessing websites via policies?
