I have two computers sharing a cable connection through a router and I want learn how to hack one.
I have a good knowledge of computers ( I have A+ cert, network + and currently working on MCSA ) but not to knowledged with hacking. I would like to learn for the knowledge of how its done not to use for attack but for defense.
So how do I hack my own computer? Any help would be great links, tutorials ect.....
Woah, Dark Raider!
Don't shoot off too fast....
He, actually, is asking the right question.
He asked how to hack his network, which, on this site, is ok.
You have to learn one way....
As for how? That's what hacking is all about....
Read up on tutorials, vulnerabilities, exploits and so about the OS that your box is running....
Just make sure your intentions and pure and good (like you mentioned, as a line of defense)
tyger_claw,
OK, if you think so, then... as everybody should know from past threads of mine, i have two computers in my room. Can you teach me how to HACK my WinME computer from the one with WinXP? It's just to learn because the one with XP has its own firewall and is protected but the one with WinME doesn't have any protection so i want to know how hackers can do to HACK it so i can protect it better.
Thanks in advance!!!
Note: Besides, i don't even negged jiffy!!! Just gave him an advice in my humble opinion.
There's no "magic" answer on how to....
Learn about exploits from sites like eweek.com and other listed sites on AO
(Like the XP mp3 exploit of last week)
Basically read up on many things related to your OS and hardware and see what comes up and be creative on your attemps....
Edit/Add:
Dark Raider> That's cool, I don't neg people right away either. It's good you gave him advice.
tyger_claw,
Thanks, i'll follow your advices. :D
Bye.
ok
well i dont know about what they taught u on Network + but part of the topics I had in my Network + days was Network Security and Vulnerabilities. we were exploitng and securing the latest softwares used in networks like the diff versions of IIS for one, or Win9x and 2K and ME and XP. We also learnt some exploits in Novell and Linux. some security over-looks, things the makers of the software over-looked and didnt notice it was a security risk etc etc. then we were taught how to secure them. it may not be as effective as to how Systems Admin do it but we do as much as we can Network wise. but yeah, what u learnt in your class should be enough to teach u or give u a rough idea in "hacking" into systems.
You must have a differnt network certification than the one I have.
hmmm, i really hope that this url will not get me into any trouble....but if so i deeply apologize, as mentioned above, its for your own network......so http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hack....html#why_this might help you. Its a general info on how to become a hacker, more about ethics and what is required than most people think. If you really wanna stay clean and be a NON-EVIL "hacker", then i suggest you think about what hacking really is.
Merry xmas ;)
You say you've got A+, working on MCSA.
I'll assume you are using Microsoft OS.
Try using and understanding the 'net' commands.
Create one box to be a server (not exposed preferably) and hack into it.
Try the unicode exploit and figure if you understand it.
Create an exposed server and monitor it.
Learn some *nix
Read anything you can get your hands on.
Start with NETBIOS tutorials.
i find it interesting how someone can askthe smae exact question, in jsut as decient of way and get flamed to hell and banned because of it. i thin that you should be more specific with your questions, not just spout off a bunch of certs and say its my computer. quite frankly i dont trust anyone who does that. just MHO, no negs given or anything.... jsut an opinion
jiffy> I'm not saying I disbelieve you, but I find your question a bit odd. You're saying that in the past year you have gone from asking questions like "what are dll files" and "What's the differnce between IDE and SCSI?" to your A+, Network+, and MCSE, and yet, as s0nIc said, you don't know basic security things that are covered in those certs?
I don't want to discourage the asking of legitimate questions, but something doesn't smell right. At any rate, you haven't provided us with any useful information, such as the OS you are interested in. If you want good answers, you need to ask specific questions.
thats exactally where i was tryiong to go with my post ;)
You can try to use a "remote control program" an then understand the data transfer.
I prefer Cool remote control thats free to try.
the firewall from Xp is a verry bad one, and he blocks things that you not whant to be block.
i prefer ZoneAlarm from ZoneLabs. and maybe you can protect your Router!!!
Try the following URL, csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/security-testing.pdf, it makes for some good reading.
Like Dark Raider, said read about exploits and study about your OS;-)
But I would add if you going to hack your own network to study Network+ it could aid U alot.
If U are using Windows study the registry and hack it winguides.com if your running windows as your OS.
study, read, and study some more.

Thx for the link to http://www.winguides.com/, real interesting!
Cool, thanks for the links guys, I have a lot to read up on.
And if you want to see if your computer is secure enough, and that's why you want to hack it, im saving you some precious time :

I think that almost wraps about this post.
www.hackers.com is a good place to start.
It depends on what your two systems are. If one is linux and that's the one you want to hack, try finding some proof-of-concept code for exploting a linux box from a windows one (which aren't as common). However, if both of your systems are of the unix/linux/solaris/bsd/*nix variety, then you'll have a lot more success. Simply browsing packetstorm, bugtraq, cotse.com, and googling should provide you with enough tools to start overflowing buffers and causing DoS on your target box.
Goodluck with what you want to do.
Peace,

hey, someone neg me because I suggested hackers.com as a good place to start? How will a person know how to protect his computer if he doesn't know about the different attacks that might come from hackers? Antionline has the banner "Hackers know the weakness in your system. Shouldn't you? " Do you oppose that too? From past experiences I have gotten to know that often the best security is the best thief or close to that. Sometimes It is better not to give antipoints at all than to misuse it.
People will just neg you more for moaning. =/
Well one of the first things "hackers" will do is to profile the user. Can you guess your password? Just Kidding...
I would look though all the exploits for Windows. I have a couple of great books I used to do the same to my network. I have a book called Windows Hacking Revealed. I can't remember who wrote it, but they did a pretty good job.
One of the biggest windows (hackable areas) is netbios. The net commands will give you a lot of information. Depending on what versions of Windows you have there are other exploits. Also visit the SANS institute for good information and also the CERT site for some exploits that are more current.
I hope I don't even need to explain that you should only do this to the computers you own. I don't condone illegal activities.
Any security-paranoid people out there, don't trust WinXP's firewall!!Quote:
I've heard a lot of stuff about Microsoft and how they might be in hand with the government and might have backdoors in their software and stuff. Maybe its just bull, but I certainly wouldn't take that chance of trusting Microsoft's firewall software. All the security holes they had in the past...you know what I'm getting at
PS: WinXP's firewall is only one-way protection: inbound, which means, any trojans that are on your computer (particulary WinXP'S!!) can still access the internet! Get better protection! There's lots of others, like Zonealarm for the not-so-sharp-with-computers people and TPF for those network admins.
