Big Book of Hacking

HACKING, PROXY's and LINKS.
This page is made for everyone who wants to become a hacker in a responsible
way. Before you do anything, keep in mind that breaking into other computers
is illegal, and can bring you faster in trouble than you can say: Oh,
sh .!!! Getting knowledge is another thing than bringing that into practice;
so READ, and read again, get a Linux distribution and after a lot of sweat and
frustration you will get some insight !!
GETTING STARTED
One of the things you want is a low profile while expanding your knowledge.
You need to turn off your cookies. If you use the web alot, then you probably
have collected several cookies on your computer's hard disc, without realizing
it.Cookies are small pieces of information that are sent automatically from a
web server to a client's computer. They can be stored on the clients hard
disc, where they act as labels, showing that the user has visited a particular
page. If the user goes back and visits the same website at a later date, the
web server will detect the presence of one of its cookies on the users
computer, and even modify the page accordingly. Yahoo.com uses cookies to do
this on occasion. So you definityly want to shut your cookies off. To shut
them off, go to the preferences of your browser , then click on advanced. You
will see where you have choices as to your cookies. click to disable cookies.
Second, while your there, turn off Java and Java Script. Shore they are
cool shit, but with Java and Java Script on, sites can find out stuff like
your e-mail address. Once they have that, all they have to run is a simple
e-mail check through a place like Yahoo and they can find out where you get
your internet service from, where you live, your name and home phone number.
BE SOMEONE ELSE
If you have got all the tools you need, you will need to hide your identity
on the net, before you use them . Many hackers use the service of Anonymizer
( http://www.anonymizer.com ) to keep them from being traced, but the fact is
anonymizer logs all visits to see where your going. Instead of the Anonymizer,
you can use something that works almost the exact same way. Its called a proxy
server. It's basically a firewall that makes it seem as if you are living and
getting your internet somewhere else. this is how it works:
Connecting Normally
your account > access > desired adress
your account < send data < desired adress
That's how it happens when you connect the usual way. You go to the site and
they can see what your IP is, trace you back, contact your ISP, and you're in
trouble. When you use a proxy server, they will think you live somewhere like
Japan, even if you live in Botswana. This is how a proxy server works:
Connecting with a Proxy Server
your account > access > proxy server > access > desired adress
your account < send data < proxy server < send data < desired adress
So what you are doing is logging into a proxy server from your ISP account.
Now, if the proxy server you find doesn't care about who you are,then you go
on. Now that you know about proxys, you need to find one. Finding a proxy is
easy, the time consuming part is finding a good one. You can find proxys on
the seach engines by typing in keywords like public proxys or free proxys,
or you can click here to go to a huge list of proxy servers.
