Help a newbie please. General Hack Question.

Hi everyone,

Im an 'internet Security consultant', Have experience with ISS Internet Scanner and some basic sniffing tools from the Anti archives.

Want to learn more about exploiting vulnerabilities....where do I start?
I have a temporary connection to the internet which is very very slow so scanning through the tutorials just isnt possible.

Some one point me in the right direction please.......what do I need to learn?
and what kit do I need (Pc's running what o/s's and how many? 1, 2 or a whole Lan!!)

try searching these words using your favorite searcher(mine is google.com)

anonymous surfing(you better learn all the ups and downs)
free proxy servers
telnet
exploit
dos/ddos
cryptography
tcp/ip
hacking
cracking
trojans

things you need to learn:

tcp/ip
programming(c/c++,asm,java,...)
network administration(not that much)

at some point you'll feel the need of installing linux/unix

I point you here, to the Newbie FAQ
and here to this note
and here to the AntiOnline User's FAQ

If you read these, you will save yourself a lot of pain in the forums.

I only say this since I see that you have only 1 post under your belt, eventhough you managed to preface you post with seemingly good intent. Welcome to the AO Forums.

black_death has given you an incredible list of resources, to begin with.

Cheers,

Thanks to to Dhej and Black Death for showing me the way. Cheers guys.

The links posted by Black Death are plentiful and so far very informative.

At least I didnt get a negative !!!

I suggest you have 3 or more computer network. And one other to try to get into that network. We'll thats wat i do, but im new to this.

Geez an expert or so called and people give them info. Good point in the archives on Social Engineering.

Yet another script buffer overflow, but even better they link to another site. To funny :) LMAO
