  That''s all illegal. Furthermore, that''s not what these forums are for. So, you''re asking in the totally wrong place. Why would you want to do such stupid crap, anyway?;  its not illegal when you want to work 4 the RIAA (lol) but its definetly the wrong way 4 you, its the dark side, say no to juarez...u want to create a virus, and then u will go directly into jail...u cant even sell ur damn virus (no money 4 doing it) same thing 4 hacking/cracking... it only making problemsT2k ;quote:Original post by zorlack  i always wandered how do hacker break-up codes and enter into a sistem, or how they get a virus and create one to hunt it down. i was wandering what do i need to learn to do such things.   Twix, to become a hacker these days... you have to just search around.You will not find anything on here on how to do that, and you will probably just be ignored (read above post)www.google.com is the best hacking tool I have ever seen. ;  I thought it was legal to hack your own network for example?anyway like twix said it aint really the place for itcheers ;  1) Wrong forums, go somewhere where 4 means for.2) Hacking (hmm, many people would have issues using the term ''hacking'' in this context) involves lots of dull uninteresting trial and error.  Viruses can have certain interesting sides, but it looks like your purposes are not research but harm, so it''s probably best you go elsewhere. ;  i know that it is illegal, but if i know the tricks of the trade i could at least protect myself or the company that i could work for. i could at least strengthen the system fram illegal enering. ;  hacker != cracker   [ Google || Start Here || ACCU || STL || Boost || MSDN || GotW || MSVC++ Library Fixes || BarrysWorld || E-Mail Me ] ;  Hacker != Cracker Spoken like a true hacker ;-)  Sadly, you and I are probably the only ones who know what you mean.I used to hack... back in the day..... as someone said, it involves a lot of trial and error, and honestly, in this day and age, there''s no room for either.  If you pick up one of the scripts or programs and just start running it and playing with it, you''re gonna end up getting busted before your hacking "career" ever takes off.  Companies, and the government, are taking hacking more and more seriously these days... there''s just no room to learn.  It''s one of those catch 22 things... without the knowledge, you won''t survive... without surviving, you won''t get the knowledge... you might be able to find information and talk to people, but there are always unspoken things that are presumed or intentionally left out... why?  To weed out the wanna-be''s.  Here''s my advice - stay away from it.  Let a sysadmin be the sysadmin for your network.  Get ZoneAlarm or BlackIce for your local pc, and try writing some games or something.  HTH - from someone who''s been there... and retired.  It''s just not worth it.;  You have to be l33t, like myself.   James SimmonsMindEngine Developmenthttp://medev.sourceforge.net
