Apple Watch Outcast 2 The first update is a successOnce you’ve seen a movie that has a cool computer hacker in it chances are your mind crossed by the thought of becoming an all-powerful computer god. The thing is how Hollywood portrays hackers is almost entirely unlike the truth of being one. Nevertheless, hackers of all sorts are a force to be reckoned with in this modern information age and are motivated to have the ability to really grasp how the computer technology that surrounds us functions. So how is one going to be a hacker? It’s not like you can go to a hacker school though some kinds of schooling might be helpful. I’ve listed the key skills and knowledge in this article that hackers tell you need to join their ranks.
Why would you like to hack?
It is a state of mind
.321.321 It is not just a job to be a hacker. It’s a worldly way of thinking. Hackers approach problems in a very special way which is why they can come up with such clever and creative ways of breaking into systems and making them do things they were not meant to do.
Learning the Basics
.322.322 No one set of universal abilities is accessible to any hacker. Instead, there’s a plethora of information and hackers working on different areas learning what they need to be good at what they want to do. That being said, there are some core technologies that you should be familiar with according to the knowledgeable people. Here are some of the more regular ones. Unix / Linux
.323.323 While Unix and Linux do not have a large presence in end-user computing, they support much of the internet infrastructure, not to mention numerous embedded systems. You’re well on your way to hacking godhood if you can build a deep understanding of Unix and its derivatives.
.324.324 Although many scripts call themselves hackers, the true hacker is the one who can speak the computer language and the internet. A good starting point is to learn C programming language, but there are a variety of programming and markup languages that should be on the radar: Xml Html
Get your brain to think in networks
.325.325 Understanding network structure and technology is important for a hacker at every stage of activity. The early hacker heroes like Captain Crunch were able to accomplish what they did because they had an intimate understanding of the technology of the time. You need to understand network setups (Lan Wan Vpn) and low-level network protocol operation. Read Read and Read Some More
A lot of great books have been written on all the knowledge areas with which you need to engage. Read some of the fantastic tutorials that real hackers have written that want to share their techniques and know-how. Most people only apply these tutorials without really understanding what they’re doing, but you can also use reverse engineering tutorials as hackers say.
Talk to Other Hackers.326.326 There is no substitute for the brains of real hackers. While you might get cold, these are people who want to share their knowledge and show the world what they have done every now and then in general. Hacking conventions are also a great place for gathering tips and new knowledge. No-one is an island and hackers have always built up on the community’s shared knowledge.
Get Your Hands Dirty
Start with simple tutorials and slowly work your way up. You will not become an expert hacker overnight. It will take years of dedicated learning and practice but it is never easy to do anything worth it!
Hats Off To You
Hackers I have always admired. I love reading stories about people like Captain Crunch Kevin Mitnick and all of the pioneering hackers who came after them. We make it so easy to do what they do but if you really dive through what you need to do to build the kind of experience that a top-level hacker has then you can’t help but admire them.
