Stuff you need for hacking
Stuff you need for hacking
ghost | 8871 Reads | Want to be a hacker? Get some software: all free and safe: Start out with mozilla firefox. It's just a great free, open source and safe browser. And it allows some sneaky plugins you'd like: Leet Key extension - This extension can handle a couple types of encryption. Modify Headers - Really usefull if you insist that you're using "Holy Teacher Browser 6.1.01" Add n Edit cookies (also known as AnEC Cookie Editor) - The name says it all, it's way easier than those strange javascript stuff Web developer - Not only is it useful if you're a webmaster, it also supports real-time HTML editing - which is interesting for forms and stuff x mod - Nice button if the FBI is on your door Live HTTP headers - Interesting to learn the HTTP protocol, plus you know what the server wants to know about you.
Now, on to encryption: Cain and Able - Free and great encoded (like md5 and stuff) message decrypter. Also nice for some sniffing work John the Ripper - fast password cracker. advanced detecting, but bad dos interface PkCrack - easily crack the encrypten zip files.
Also useful: Ethereal - Open source network sniffer. Useful for a lot of home and business network hacking. Brutus - network and internet brute-force login cracker. a lot of login types and features, bad speed Some Putty programs when you're going to handle with telnet, SFTP and stuff
PS: about all of the above listed software can easily be found by just entering the name in google

none of that stuff above is necessary, in fact i would advise against using any of the programs this idiot has stated except maybe firefox (opera is lighter), putty, and ethereal

I think this is a kind of nice article, it gives a newcomer a place to start at least.

dude, this list is HORRIBLE. Like wsoprulz1299 said, NONE of the material except puTTy, JTR, Cain & Abel, , and Ethereal are necessary/useful. l33t key? I don't think so.. why would you need it to hack anything… By the way, go ahead and rely on "x mod" if you think it'll protect you from the FBI or any forensic analysts' investigation.

X mod will not save you…. Even if they didn't find all your hacking shit mircosoft will. They have hidden files and folders on your computer which contains everything you ever done.

Watcher, since when? Do you honestly believe that? That's the single dumbest thing I've -ever- heard. The list isn't good, but more than anything it shouldn't be an article. Forum post at best.

shabouwcaw….microwave? That's been a popular one. Crush and burn is great too. ;) I think the article is decent, though I've never found a need for any of those things except for hbh challenges. Then again, I use SE instead of hacking skills whenever I can. What strikes me as odd is that this guy is ranked as a newbie, yet he's writing an article telling people what they need for hacking. Oh well. Maybe it did help someone.

thousandtoone shows how much you know… you fucking dumb fag i thought better of you before obviously not now…

Whats to say they aint…? you call yourself a hacker? Im not another Mircosoft basher but i have seen these folders and removed them so stfu before u claim they don't.

If you want to be a hacker, it's a lot more complicated than downloading a program and clicking HACK. Those are tools that can be used for a number of things and might prove a tiny bit helpful. Not in the hacking sense but in speed. You mentioned protection, i don't see one tool that protects which reminds me you forget essential assets to hacking accesories. Proxys at the top of the list on forgetten tools shortly followed by preffered OS systems, web spiders, batch creaters ect. You used an idea i thought about doing a few days ago but i read this and thought you mad a mess of it. It's made me more dedicated to writing an article to get more votes in the good section than you did… GOD i hate this article.

I'm going to puke sorry, If I get all this I can hack….NOOOO! WaTcHeR I know every in and out of windows I've used it for years, I got XP PRO down to the last file and tweak. There is no hidden folders Your full of SHIT if you deleted? these folders list them.. You can't can you. That's just stupid.I don't care what OS you run it can be recovered even if deleted. IE: Pro active recovery, Full version which I have.

I dont know , what to say this article is lame. Its ok for a newb to use and get a little help with the challenges here at hbh, but other than that for the most part just taking up space in the Articles..I agree that at most it should be a forum thread, then people could add on to the list the MANY things missed in this Article as some were listed earlier

Watcher, everyone thinks you're a moron, honestly, and you call ME stupid? Honestly, WOW! I can't understand a word you say with all that shit coming out of your mouth.
ghost 18 years ago
Hey i just wanted to leave a comment cuz this was getting HOTT o yeah… smoking… :)
ghost 18 years ago
Damn does no one here really get the point? all you guys did really lame at realistic challange 1: yeah cool javascript exploit blabla insert blabla huh? lol! why not use cookie editor? it's 100 times as easy and 10 times as fast. k, leet key might not be always useful. though it can calculate rot13. not useless imo. yeah, maybe not as useful as cracking md5, though some pepz use such strange algorithms. plus, it supports DES. not useless imo. what on this list is REALLY useless? no, of course I fcking don't mean it's all about pressing the "Hack" button. this software doesn't even mention hacking lol ok, maybe is web developer a small overkill. you can, indeed, do exactly the same without. but it is just way faster with web developer. no, of course x mod doesn't suddenly 100% delete everything. it's still all on your hard disk. but it makes the cop's work a lot more complicated. yes, you can write a brutus-like program yourself. but this is way easier. yes, maybe it'll cost a minute extra. so what? live http headers useless? If you're going to hack for real, this software is useful. what is actually sent? well… let's read the cookies and the forms from the last page! lol! live http headers is way faster. well, not way faster. but faster.
so for the next negative reactions: please EXPLAIN what is bad and what should be added
ps: about the proxy stuff: that's just about staying unknown. 1. totally not what you want at hbh 2. not really waterproof (sounds like "the proxy server has logs as well") 3. if I want to stay anonymous, I'll use some other stuff as well. but this software if my base for game hacking.

To kor:- "Some people believe that Microsoft, the software company that dominates our computers today, is spying on us all. All of us, that is, that have Microsoft products installed on our computers and surely that would be at least 99% of us I would think. So, Microsoft has loads of hidden files, it records all the websites you went on, even if you did delete them and all emails you ever sent! Here's a web site that tells you where to look for the hidden files in DOS. The webmaster of this site is fighting a campaign against all things Microsoft" http://www.fuckmicrosoft.com/
