Do you really want to be a Hacker?
NOTE- If you dont want to learn programming in the process of hacking then use ANOTHER Hacking Tutorial Without Programming.
Do you really want to be a hacker? Its a lot of work, are you sure? Its a HUGE time commitment. Are you ready for this? Well, I will tell you if you are. To really become a hacker you have to have many qualities that will help you through your journey, if you dont have these you need to develop them before you do. No this isnt going to be some giant thread like Eminents, and I am not a hacker yet, but I know how to become one and I am sick of skiddies coming in here and calling themselves hackers. So on that note lets start.
Requirements:
And dont think this is all, there are many more.
You need to be MATURE
There is an age limit on Hackforums and for good reason. I wish I had even the Maturity of a 13 year old (which is usually not much) when I first started.
You need to be DEVOTED
Your hacking journey will not be easy, and I promise you, you will want to quit.
You need to PERSEVERE
Like said above this isnt going to be easy, there will be sometimes when you feel like picking up your piece of crap computer and throwing it at a wall.
You need to be LOYAL
All hackers go by A manifesto. Read it, reflect upon it, follow it.
And you need to be MOTIVATED
You need a motivation, bottom line. Is this a hobby? a Job? or are you doing this for another reason. I find too many people come here saying ” I want to hack a bullies Facebook” or “I want to play tricks on my friends”. All these people are going to do is troll the internet for targets and be the exact definition of a skid. Your real motivation has to be that you want to either do this for a job or you want to do this because you love hacking and you feel the inspiration of “The Hackers Manifesto”.
Categories:
Many people only have three categories. Skid, Intermediate, and Elite. I believe this is unfair. There should be one more category, and I believe it is to be called “Apprentice”. The reason I make this category is that the word skid implies what I described earlier and how Urban dictionary describes all of us “mentally challenged, yet spoiled adolescents that want to hack the gibson. They believe mybb reputation, and 30$ premium account is vital in order to become a true haxx0r”. This is not how we all start out, some people start out well, with the right morals. That is why I propose “Apprentice”. This term will be used to describe someone who acts maturely and is honorable in his/her ignorance. They are not proud, they know what they know, and they know very little. But they are willing to learn. This is what every starter should be like, and this is why I made this thread. Now for the actual definitions.
Skid:
This is the lowest level of hacking life. They troll the internet looking for easy targets, spam emails and spread in anyway humanly possible. Skids are looking for bragging rights and revenge. If you are one of these, be honest with yourself. Determine if you want to change. Do you? If you dont take your GUI RATS and giant emails lists elsewhere, your not wanted here.
Apprentice:
I chose the name “Apprentice” because of the Jedi Apprentice series I read a long time ago. Apprentices where displayed in that book as humble students of the master Jedi. But they didnt always learn from the masters, sometimes the masters made the students teach themselves. If you are an “Apprentice” then you need
