How to hack my own computer??

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.

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.

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!!

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.
