Entered by keplon9d on Tue Jul 2 14:28:13 UTC 2002:

        Hello,

No, im not a lamer, but does anyone know of any *good* hacker tutorials on
the internet? I know there are many, but good ones are hard to find. If you
want, my e-mail address is keplon9d@cyberspace.org    thanks

I was starting to worry about what kind of a place this was, until I saw the
familiar hack talk.  Check out http://www.hackers.com .  Believe it or  not
the archives section has bunches of shit.  If you never hear from me again
it's because I am unfamiliar with this area of computing and probably got lost
looking for the bathroom.

peace

Could you be a bit more specific with your question?
You want to learn how to break into computers? is that what you mean?
E-Zines are usually a good source oof information on hacking activity,not as
many of them about now though.

www.phrack.org has tons of good information, but it is rather technical.
Google is probably your best bet.

I guess I should have been a bit more specific....I have no intention 
really of breaking into to computers, i just want to learn about unix 
in general, and the commands it uses to hack.  thanx for the links 
h0lst and b0rgel!

If you want to learn about UNIX, http://www.ugu.com/ is a pretty good place
to start.

the tutorials are good for to learn the teoricals fundaments of hacking ,but
nothing is better than the practice.
Linux is the best OS for practice and learn hacking

yeah, you really need to start by running linux on your system.  Linux
comes in several distributions.  A good start for a begginner would
probably be mandrake or redhat.  your local library should have TONS of
books on linux, expecially redhat.  just fool around until you think your
good enough, then try a more difficult distribution like debian or
slackware, which require you to configure everything yourself.  Once you
get extremely good, try installing Gentoo linux (which acutually has no
physical installer), or make your own distribution.  Youll find that this
unix knoweldge is an integral part of hacking, as well as the programming
skills youll develop along the way.

Yes, many people are talking to start with linux mandrake or redhat, I did
the same thing, though I learned more using freeBSD and actually found it a
bit easier! freeBSD works, I haven't succesully compiled a linux kernel but
I did succeed with freeBSD. For the real UNIX I think BSD or something is
better too. Mandrake changes a lot of setting with wizards, but you ain't
gonna learn anything of it, besides I don't have to count on the network
wizard to get my cable connection up. I think there's a lot to learn on IRC
but don't come in and ask question, hang out, read some of the conversations
and stuff. A good book is also good I guess, I have none on unix though :-)

greets,
mistery

also you could try looking on a good p2p filesharing network ,like
DirectConnect  or eMule and search away.These two are good 'cause you can view
peoples directories.so when you find stuff follow it to see what else they
have-in no time you will have heaps of info.  Success

I've always prefered good olf fashioned text files. Lots and lots of text
files, youd be amased what you can find in old hacking texts.

I will say one thing to u, get ureself an old hard drive to install ure bsd
on and swap it with the other one when ure not using it, on the long run it
will save you getting a corrupted hard drive when your trying out the
different distros, it happened to me and i'm running off of live distros
untill i get a new hard drive.

#12 of 13 by zyraf on Wed May 12 17:52:46 2004:

Good idea, repartitioning your own disk when you want it, installing what you
want when you want... normal distros (like Slackware) are better than live,
if you really want to learn something :) try to work without X, propably you
dont need it all the time... 'play' with your distro :)
