So You’re Sick Of Being A SKIDDIE? Let’s Hack For Real

This post below is an article written by michaeljay from HackForums, you can see the original post here.  I find it quite informative and it has quality over other similar threads.

Then what can you do about it?

Sick of just being able to push buttons and not know what you’re doing? Tired of seeing error messages in aircrack and being frozen because you have no real idea of what you’re typing? I saw a thread here from someone saying he’s sick of being a skiddie, so I figured I’d write this post up to explain how I went from being a skiddie to someone who knows his way around various protocols and techniques. Not that I consider myself a l337 hax0r, by any means. Most of the posters here would blow me away with their skill and knowledge. But I feel I’ve got some stuff to share, and my girlfriend is doing her own thing tonight, so I’m going to write this post up for you. For good or for evil.

Have you ever wanted to use 1 line of code that can do all the wonders of hacking for you, eg. entering the remote computer in your network without the target knowing?  Or remotely install a program into the computer and start running that program without their consent?  Wondering which exploit exists in Metasploit that is similar to the vulnerability you have found using Nessus?

Enter the world of combination between Metasploit and Nessus.  By linking both of them together, you can now run a simple code in Metasploit to do both of it at the same time!

Hacker

This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch; the beauty of the baud. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. You wage wars, murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us believe it’s for our own good, yet we’re the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop me, but you can’t stop us all.

What do you think of the term “hacker“?  Do you think of crime, danger or intrusion when you hear it?  Or maybe security, programming and computer analysis.  Do you call yourself a hacker because you know how to make malicious applications or use applications that have been programmed by professionals to do your malicious tasks?  I personally believe that a hacker is someone that has an expertise in the computer system, finding exploits and has the ability to find holes on system and mend it.  Do not believe in what i said, but let’s hear what do you think of the word “hacker“.
