How to acquire hacking skills. Fundamentals of hacking. Authentication verification and basic security hacking Beginner hacker training

This tutorial will cover the following two topics: introduction and hacker tools.

Introduction
Hello reader. A year ago I came to HZ, and really wanted to become a hacker. No one could explain many simple things to me, I saw many experienced ones, but literally only a few helped me take the path of a hacker. And I can name them: PinkPanther, DrWeb, R_a_ID_e_R. I studied on my own, not hoping for anyone's help, trying to describe my knowledge in articles for beginners. So time passed, generations changed... I don’t want to complicate the life of newbies, I have always treated them well, and I believe that newcomers have the right to know. Anyone who says that I am wrong, that “let them figure it out themselves, that’s the only way they will grow,” is both right and wrong. Yes, the persistent will achieve their goal, but a person who does not need this will simply not read this article. For those who still torment search engines with questions like “how to become a hacker,” I decided to dedicate a series of lessons, and maybe even a book. You will go from lammer to hacker, learn programming technologies, hacking and much, much more. Follow this path according to my lessons, and everything will be OK. This is the first lesson dedicated to the basics of hacking, it is rather enticing. Remember, these are all just toys, real hacking will come later. And at this stage you must decide whether you need it or not. Gradually we will study network technologies, you will learn how the Internet works, what you can find interesting on it, what is possible and what is not. Welcome to our world!
Hacker Tools
In this section I will describe a gentleman's hacker's kit. We will sometimes use these tools in the future.

Brute force
- Port scanner
- Security scanner
- Joyner
- Mail Bomber
- Windows password cracking
- View passwords
- Trojan
-KeyLogger
- IP hider (proxy/sox)
- HTTP request spoofing

Let's start in order:

[Brute force]. Bruteforce (translated from English as “brute force”) is used to select passwords from e-mail and ftp servers. There are many types of brute force programs, but their abilities are similar. When using such programs on dial-up connections, where the speed does not exceed 56 Kbps, the selection can be long and tedious; when using high-speed Internet (ADSL, fiber optic, satellite, etc.) the selection speed increases, but then a lot of traffic is consumed. The best option is selection from a dictionary. The hacker composes a text document from the victim’s possible passwords, the program connects to the server assigned to it and takes turns searching through the passwords from the file. If passwords for a mailbox are being selected, you need to brute force indicate the server of the victim’s incoming messages, for example, if we break soap, then most often the server will be pop.pupkin.ru. If we break not an e-mail, but a site pupkin.ru, then we need to specify an ftp server, it will be ftp.pupkin.ru. Brute forces also have a lot of useful settings, for example, if you notice that your friend is entering a password of 5 characters, and its first character is L, then you need to use mask selection. The mask will look like this: L#### . I have given a general description, and for a closer acquaintance I advise you to download wwwHack.

[Port Scanner]
Since this lesson is an introduction, I will torment you with network technologies another time, but you still need to know this.
Port scanners check a given range of IP addresses on a given open port. If the port is open, this IP is added to the list.
Where is this applied? The creators of so-called "Trojans" sometimes include a port scanner in their creations. The point is that the server
When a Trojan lands on a machine, it opens a port in the system through which it receives client commands. For those who have not yet guessed, I will explain: Knowing,
what port our trojan opens, we "ask each computer in the range" if this port is open, and if so, then on this machine
Our troy is sitting - you can safely connect and control this computer. I recommend using Essentional Net Tools as it
good scanner with an additional set of functions. This is not just a scanner - keep that in mind. During its existence it became
legendary, and has not yet lost its relevance. It's paid. My brother bought and gave me the serial number from version 1.1:
Name: Jan Klaassen
S/N: 2957888021

[Security Scanner]
There are two types of pages on the Internet: static (HTML) and dynamic (PHP, ASP, CGI). If the page extension is htm, html, this means that the content of the page does not depend on the user and is always unchanged - “static”. Dynamic pages process data received from the user; roughly speaking, they can think. Naturally, there can be no talk of any holes in html pages; holes only happen in the scripts of dynamic pages. The most common vulnerabilities are XSS. They were well described by DrWeb in the article “XSS for Beginners,” so I won’t explain their essence. To automate the search for XSS vulnerabilities (and more), hackers use security scanners. I recommend XSpider.

[Joyner] - (English Join - connect, unite).
Joyner is a program that allows you to combine several files into one, with the ability to attach an arbitrary icon to the resulting file. Thus, using a joyner, a hacker can glue a Trojan horse with some useful utility and push it to the victim. That, in turn, when opening a file, believes that it is launching its own program, although in fact two of them are launched (three, four, etc.), the Trojan simply does not reveal itself. The disadvantage of this approach is that most joiners are detected by antiviruses.

This type of program is designed to “bomb” email, i.e. bombarding with a huge number of letters. Mail bombers are widely used by spammers. Personally, I am not a spammer, but I use Ganja Spammer to spoof the sender's address. Very convenient for phishing. I'll tell you what it is later.

[Windows Passwords]
I respect InsidePro's products and recommend downloading them. These are: PasswordsPro, MD5Inside, PWLInside, SAMInside. The purpose of the programs is already included in their name, but I will talk about each one separately.
SAMinside is a program for hacking the SAM file. In Windows 2k/XP, user passwords are stored in the windowssystem32config directory, and are called resp. SAM and SYSTEM, without extension. To copy them for decryption, you will have to use DOS or an alternative OS, such as Windows PE. So, passwords are stored in encrypted form, and in order to decrypt them, you must have copies of these files. You need to enter them into SAMinside, set the brute force method, and wait.
PWLinside - similar, only this is for the now dead Windows 95/98, where passwords (including for the Internet) are stored in the Windows directory in files with the *.PWL extension.
MD5inside - decrypts the MD5 hash used in many authorization systems. By decrypting the hash, you can get the password. By the way, in IPB forums approximately this hash is stored in cookies.
PasswordsPro is a powerful tool for working with passwords, it has all the functions of MD5inside, hash generation, and it can also show passwords hidden behind asterisks, for this you need to enable the corresponding. mode and point the mice at the password field.

[View passwords]
If you are interested in knowing what a friend is writing to your fiancee by e-mail, just go to his house and send him to make coffee, and at this time we take out a floppy disk and launch a program that shows all his passes, including soap. Magic? No! The whole point is that for convenience, to save you from the thrill every time you log in to the site, ICQ, etc. enter a password, browsers/ICQ/mail providers remember it. This is why they are punished). There are many programs that show all kinds of saved passwords. To see what IE and Outgluk Express saved there, you can use the PSPV program. For TheBat - TheBatPasswordViewer, for ICQ/Trillian/Miranda etc. - Advanced Instant Messenger Password Recovery, abbreviated as AIMPR.

[Trojan horse]
Now we get to the most interesting part). This subspecies of animals is so called because it acts like the famous Trojan horse. Penetrating into the user's system, he gets used to it and works for the owner. What I mean? Unlike a virus, a Trojan is harmless if you are not online. It is activated when its creator sends it commands via LAN or the Internet, for example, it can send your passwords to the owner on command, and many other interesting things, it also allows an attacker to climb through your files and registry, in general, you get the point, and they have the capabilities Everyone is different. The most popular Trojans: ALB, NetBus, LamerDeath. But they’ve all been burning for a long time now. And my own is called LamerHack, you can search on my website, and it doesn’t burn, but now there is still a weak beta version available, and besides, the lack of fire is compensated by the size of the server.

Keylogger is Russian for "keylogger". It catches all your keystrokes and writes them to a file, after which it can send them to its creator, or save it to a screw. It is useful to install it with a friend - he will write down everything that she writes to on ICQ.

If you are doing something that is not entirely legal, then you are unlikely to be happy with the fact that your IP address will remain on the server you hacked, from which you can’t be identified. So what then? There is such a thing called a proxy server, or sox server. I won’t go into details and explain to you how they differ - at this stage it doesn’t matter to you. The essence is the same - your IP address is replaced with the address of the proxy server. This is used when there are some restrictions on your IP, for example, the amount of music to download, or a limited number of attempts to register ICQ. And for the very first case, you need to use anonymous or elite proxies. Their disadvantage is instability. They change every n hours. There is always a fresh list of proxies. I recommend as a program for using a proxy.

[HTTP packet spoofing]
I will also describe this in more detail in future lessons. All information on the Internet will be transferred to the so-called. "packets". Like packets of secret information in war, HTTP packets have a filling and an inscription: to whom/where, etc. , with the only difference that THIS information is not considered particularly secret, but is of interest. The packet header contains information about the browser, where we came from, and what data is transferred to which scripts. As you understand, we will talk about replacing this data. The question arises: “Why?” . And then. Let's take a better look at an example. In Dnepropetrovsk we have a very popular Internet provider “Alkar Teleport”. It contains several sites with interesting resources that are available only to its users. When entering from other provinces, they send a message. How do these sites check where I came from? By IP. If, for example, the IP is 212.15.x.x, then access is allowed. And if we replace the referer (where I came from) with the address of the server itself, then, most likely, it will not prohibit us from doing anything. The InetCrack program is used, download it.

Of course, not all programs were described in this section, but the main ones.

Vladislav Novik aka VladUha::HackZona.Ru

It’s unlikely that you sat quietly in your room for 20 years, studied well, obeyed your parents in everything, never deceived anyone, never took anything from anyone else in your life, and then, bam, you wanted to become a cyber hacker. Most likely, this already lives in you: you are easily carried away by the search for an original solution, you absorb computer knowledge like a sponge, you can’t stand manuals, you trust only your own trial and error method, and professional literature is only one of the assistants. And now a grain of truth has begun to sprout in your head, a desire to stand on the other side of the law. Not for the sake of money, purely out of curiosity. Where to begin?

Learn a language

Since you have decided to become a hacker, then you probably know English perfectly. If not, then any of your further tasks will become twice as complicated - first, with a dictionary, you will look for what exactly you are hacking, and only then look for ways - again with a dictionary. In addition, if your career takes off, then it’s a good idea to know the basic part of some other languages ​​- Spanish, German, French. It will be useful in life, and it won’t hurt in work. Developers also sometimes come across as ignorant.

Choose a specialization

As with any other hobby, it is important to decide on a specialization as soon as possible. No, of course, you first need to start by studying the shell of applied hardware - applications and operating systems, then move on to a larger level. The main thing to remember is that there are dozens of types of attacks and hacking techniques: it will take years to master everything at a decent level. Therefore, if you are ambitious and want to not just try, but achieve serious success, decide on your area of ​​work and develop skills in this direction. With due persistence, within six months you will have your first significant scalp on your account.

Read the literature

Although a good hacker is distinguished by the fact that all his knowledge is gained empirically, it would be foolish to try to surpass many years of security experience without using the experience of others. Here's where to start your literary excursion: "The Art of Deception", "Hacking: the Art of Exploitation", "The Basics of Hacking and Penetration Testing: Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing","Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide". After mastering them, at least you will no longer have stupid questions like “where to go” and “what to do.”

Don't listen to anyone

The whole essence of a hacker's activity lies in research rather than sabotage. Therefore, if you have your own head on your shoulders, never take other people’s criticism seriously, do not believe in the existence of a “right” path and do not succumb to provocations. If hackers don't do what they like, then who will?

Keep the rhythm

No matter how excitingly you get caught up in a new hobby, don’t rush to get involved in serious projects. Gradually study your chosen business, learn not only to destroy, but also to create. And of course, try to immediately kill the desire to hack something big and famous. This is fraught not only with the possibility of running into an insurmountable wall, but also with receiving a very real sentence.

Challenge

At the same time, do not rush to rest on the laurels of your first successes. While people on the other side are working to create more and more ideal protection, your task is to keep up with the times and look for flaws and patterns in it. No one calls for immediately winning the jackpot at the competition Pwnium, but it is necessary to think seriously about this, and most importantly, to strive for this.

Find a suitable job

To catch a criminal, you need to think like him. To bypass the built defense, you need to get into the team that creates it. This will greatly help accelerate professional growth, partially monetize your passion, and in general, it may make you think about the correctness of your chosen side.

However, there is an alternative universal option - just change your occupation. On the one hand, this way you will approach your favorite business with great enthusiasm and a fresh mind, on the other hand, you will not fall out of society. After all, even the most malicious hackers must have a personal life.

Stop being afraid

And in general, it’s enough to spend at least 10 seconds in any search engine to realize that there are a huge number of ways in the world (competitions, competitions, work) that allow you to thoroughly stretch your brain and at the same time make money. Today, information protection is, literally, an international problem, connected, among other things, with the main threat to humanity - terrorism. Therefore, if your inquisitive mind wants, and most importantly can, hack something, but is critically afraid of getting punished for it, a huge number of IT companies will be ready to cooperate with you.

The first hackers can be considered that small group of people, consisting of experienced programmers and network wizards, who several decades ago stood at the origins of the creation of early microcomputers and participated in ARPAnet experiments. Hacking computers and telephone networks has become a symptom of a hacker culture, which is actually much more complex and is not limited to hacking. How to join this community, acquire the necessary skills, learn to think like a hacker and earn respect and reputation in this environment, you will learn from this article.

Steps

Part 1

Switch to a Unix-like operating system, such as Linux . Unix is ​​a popular operating system, often used for servers and which gave impetus to the development of the Internet. Although you can use the Internet without knowing Unix, you cannot be an Internet hacker without understanding Unix. For this very reason, today's hacker culture is very Unix-centric. Unix, like Linux, can be used alongside Windows on the same computer. Download Linux or ask a Linux user to help you install the system.

Help test and debug open source programs. Those who test and debug open source programs are also revered. In this imperfect world, we inevitably spend the largest portion of a program's development time in the debugging phase. This is why any thoughtful open source author will tell you that good beta testers (who know how to clearly describe symptoms, are good at localizing problems, can correct typos, and use a few simple diagnostic routines) are worth their weight in gold.

• If you are a beginner, try to find a program in development that interests you and become a good beta tester. There is a very natural progression from helping to test programs to helping to debug them and then to helping to modify them. You will learn a lot this way and generate good karma in your relationships with people who will help you later.

1. Post useful information. Another good thing is to select and accumulate useful and interesting information on web pages or documents such as FAQ (frequently asked questions and answers) and make them publicly available. The hosts of major technical FAQs are almost as respected as the authors of open source software.

   Help keep infrastructure running. Hacker culture (and Internet engineering) is volunteer-based. There is a lot of necessary, but not particularly effective, work that needs to be done to maintain the process: administering mailing lists, moderating news groups, managing large software archives, developing RFCs and other technical standards. People who do this kind of thing well are highly respected, because everyone knows that this kind of work takes a lot of time and is not as fun as playing with codes. This work shows dedication.

2. Serve the hacker culture itself. Finally, you can serve and spread the culture itself. But you shouldn't do this until you've been at it for a long time and become well known for one of the first four things. There are no clear leaders in hacker culture, but there are "culture heroes", "tribal elders", historians and speakers. When you live in these trenches long enough, you can grow into one of these people.

   • But beware: hackers are wary of their loud-mouthed tribal elders, so the apparent achievement of this kind of glory is fraught with danger. Instead of striving for this, it is better for you not to care about it and then everything will come by itself, and only then you can become modest and merciful in your status.

• Some companies hire hackers to check how secure their systems are. So you can make good money on this!
• Try not to get caught and Not do some hacking.
• Write well in your native language. According to a common stereotype, programmers are not very literate, but in fact, many hackers are very good at speaking the language.
• Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment you'll gain when you finally master it. This knowledge will make you an excellent programmer for the rest of your life, even if you never really use Lisp itself. You can get some initial experience with Lisp in the code editing mode of the Emacs text editor or the Script-Fu plugin for the GIMP graphics editor.
• Perl makes sense to learn for practical reasons: it is very widely used for active web pages and system administration, so even if you never have to write Perl, you should learn to read it. Many people use Perl to avoid programming in C, which is resource-intensive.
• Test your knowledge on websites you create.
• Use your knowledge and skills for good. Being a good hacker is much safer and more profitable for everyone than being a bad hacker. Bad hackers don't have a very good life - they have to go into hiding to avoid problems with the law.
• Always be careful. Illegal activities can have very serious consequences, and nothing on the Internet is truly anonymous.
• Don't get involved in anything that could lead to trouble.
• Ask local companies if they need security systems checked.

Warnings

• Hacking is an illegal act that can result in serious penalties. Hacking is a crime and is punishable by law.

Many Internet users are interested in how to become a hacker from scratch and where to start. Usually connoisseurs of this hobby are young guys, whose average age is 16-20 years.

Young people are of the opinion that a hacker is a computer hacker, but this is a misconception. That’s why, before mastering this profession, I recommend understanding what a hacker is.

A hacker is a programmer of the highest class who works with ready-made software and uses programming languages ​​to realize his imagination.

For some people, work is a way of life. These kinds of inclinations are most often laid in childhood. This is especially true for professional hackers. Find out how to become one of them below.

• Learn the basics of programming. This skill will allow you to achieve your goal. According to professionals, it is possible to study the database on your own at home, if you devote as much time as possible to studying materials, programming languages ​​and computer technology.
• The basics of programming have a similar structure and principles. A number of programming languages ​​will have to be learned by heart. These include PHP, MySQL, Java and others.
• In addition to programming languages, be sure to get acquainted with operating systems, which, at first glance, seem simple. We are talking about UNIX and Linux platforms. Real hackers don't work with Windows firmware.
• Hackers strive for proper networking, which involves much more than communicating with friends. If you really want to become a real ace, you will have to gain a lot of knowledge, and only the Internet will help. Learn how the World Wide Web works and understand why the client transmits HTTP servers, how the browser interacts with the server, and so on. Without this knowledge, you can’t count on a good result.
• Choose a software package. I’ll warn you right away that choosing the right tool programs is not easy, but a strong desire will simplify the task. First, find several compilers and assemblers. The first solutions translate program text into an equivalent program. The second option is software that converts programs into machine-type instructions.
• You can’t do without a good text editor that allows you to create and edit text files, view, print and find text information.
• You will need a specialized editor in which program source codes are created and modified. Such a solution can be a separate program or part of a development environment.

You've got your first idea of ​​how to become a hacker. If you intend to build a career, it won’t hurt to learn several foreign languages. Experts recommend paying special attention to the English language, since it is used very widely on the Internet.

Video instructions

To summarize, I would like to note that perseverance, along with an understanding of the goal and the ability to implement ideas, will allow you to become a successful hacker. True, it is better to work within the law, since malicious hacking is criminally punishable.

How to become a hacker from scratch

The work of a professional hacker is very interesting. Website hacking, theft of important information, theft of money, penetration, disclosure of secrets. The possibilities of a true hacker are endless. As for his name, it is carefully hidden.

Young people are attracted to active activities in stealing information and hacking websites. But they do not take into account that for such actions they often have to answer before the law.

Work does not always involve illegal activities, and this is a fact. If you want to work in the computer field, large companies will use your services. And it’s not surprising, because the hacker is a first-class IT specialist.

As practice shows, corporations and large banks want a professional hacker on their staff. Organizations protect important information using computer technology, and a specialist is able to detect security loopholes and prevent data theft.

Only self-development will help you find a profession. I will share a few tips, and with their help you will get closer to your dream, and perhaps realize it.

Step-by-step action plan

1. Basic Skills . First of all, get acquainted with the Internet, find out the meaning of various headings, learn a lot of basic concepts and understand the interaction of browsers with servers.
2. Programming languages . Pay special attention to learning programming languages. With the help of tutorials that abound on the Internet, learn how to write simple programs. With a little effort, you will master programming skills, and in the future you will have the opportunity to improve them.
3. If you dream of working as a hacker, pay special attention to learning the hypertext markup language called HTML.
4. English. You can’t do without knowing English. This language is used by all world services. Therefore, owning it is a must.

The four points outlined will help you master basic skills. Having completed the task, start studying professional issues and the intricacies of hacking. Fortunately, the Internet is full of information related to today's topic.

• Value your time and colleagues . Be sure to share your achievements with your “brothers in arms.”
• Respect the code. Hackers have their own code, which prohibits giving or taking in return. If you managed to hack someone else's program, inform the owner so that he can work on protecting his brainchild.
• Eliminate stereotyped thoughts . A hacker should not think in stereotypes. He must have the ability to quickly and always find answers.
• Ask for advice . If something is unclear, do not hesitate to ask for advice on a thematic forum. If you solved the problem yourself, share the solution algorithm with your colleagues. They will do the same in the future.
• Keep an eye on the technology . A computer is a living organism and a close friend of an IT specialist. Therefore, computer equipment, stationary systems, laptops or netbooks need care.

Reach your goal quickly if your team of allies is replenished with perseverance and free time. Every day you will have to learn new information, which will bring experience.

Video tips

It's better to forget about computer games. Spend your free time gaining knowledge that will be useful in the future. Be sure to read the Criminal Code to avoid an unpleasant situation.

How to become a hacker where to start

Continuing the theme of today's article, we will consider the main stages of training in order to learn in detail where to start to become a hacker.

In feature films, hackers hack into payment systems, government websites, large organizations and industrial facilities. The main purpose of hacking is important information or money. In reality, everything is not so simple.

A hacker is an ordinary programmer who is able to crack software code. However, he has other goals. He does not seek to obtain important data and sell it for big money on the black market. During hacking, a specialist gets acquainted with the operating principle of a particular program, studies the code to find holes, and create an analogue or similar program.

Many people consider hackers to be criminals who hack and destroy, so there are “specialists” who are not hackers, but try to lead a similar lifestyle. Even a beginner can harm a website or computer if he uses a malicious script that disguises itself as a program and is placed on websites.

In real life, meeting a true professional in this field is problematic. An experienced hacker will never tell you what he does. He works alone because he knows that such activity is punishable.

1. Be patient. Realize that mastering the skills will take years.
2. Pay special attention to the study of applied mathematics. Believe me, without mathematical knowledge you will not be able to become a hacker.
3. Be sure to purchase books devoted to the operation of programs, software platforms, and security systems.
4. Learn to write code and create encrypted systems without outside help. Work without these skills is impossible.
5. Read thematic magazines, visit websites and forums dedicated to hacking activities. Sources of information will help in self-development.
6. Keep a diary. Record statistics of successes and achievements. Over time, you will notice that your skills have become more advanced.

Be prepared for the fact that studying at home will be lengthy and require maximum effort. This is the only way to conquer the peaks and break stereotypes. Remember, you must act within the law.

I hope the story will help, and you, having familiarized yourself with the material, will quickly achieve success.

Do not forget that creating or modifying programs that lead to illegal copying, blocking or destruction of important information is a punishable crime. For such actions they can be imprisoned for 3 years and fined a tidy sum.

If the actions cause serious consequences, the punishment will be more severe. Therefore, before you take up work, be sure to think about whether you can resist temptation and not cross the line of the law. Good luck and see you again!
