Hacking Tips

Tips
Hackers are those who built the internet, made Linux, and work on open source software. It’s advisable to look into hacking as it’s quite respected, and requires a lot of professional knowledge to do anything serious in real environments.
Unless you’re an expert or a professional hacker, using these tactics on a popular corporate or government computer is asking for trouble. Keep in mind there are people a bit more knowledgeable than you who protect these systems for a living. Once found, they sometimes monitor intruders to let them incriminate themselves first before legal action is taken. This means you might think you have free access after hacking into a system, when in fact, you’re being watched, and may be stopped at any moment.
Keep in mind, if your target is not doing their best to keep you out, you won’t ever become good. Of course, don’t get cocky, don’t think about yourself as the best of the best. Make this your goal: you must become better and better. Every day that you didn’t learn something new is a wasted day. You are all that counts. Become best, at any cost. There are no half-ways, you must give fully of yourself. As Yoda would say, “Do or do not. There is no try.”
Although it’s great that there are many legal, safe training grounds available for anyone, the sad truth is that you won’t become even mediocre if you don’t perform potentially illegal actions. You can’t become anyone if you won’t find real problems on real systems, with the real risk of getting caught. Keep that in mind.
Remember, hacking is not about breaking into computers, getting a well paid job, selling exploits on the black market, nor helping anyone compromise secure machines. You’re not here to help the admin do his job. You’re here to become the best.
Read books discussing TCP/IP networking.
There is a major difference between a hacker and a cracker. A cracker is motivated by malicious (namely: money) reasons, while hackers attempt to retrieve information and gain knowledge through exploration – (“bypassing security”), at any cost and in any way which may not always be legal.
