Rooting

I am interested in learning Rooting. But I am confused as where to start learning. What kind of languages would one want to know if they are interested in Rooting? Also if anyone has any good articles on Rooting or other reading material related to Rooting it would be much appreciated if you shared.

Thanks skathgh420

:D

this should get you rolling

Damn I have pretty good understanding of most of the things you mentioned….

I will get to reading up on the others, but I am still looking for articles/reads on rooting and how it's done and different ways to go about doing it. Basically anything about rooting I am quite a stranger to it but very willing to learn. And now that DeafCode has made me feel confident in my knowledge ;) I am very eager to begin learning. Any and all suggestions are welcome :D

yeah I'm stuck on this too, I mean I know the things mentioned above, but when it comes to actual exploiting I've virtually no knowledge

alot of people assume that forwarding the telnet allows you to use the service but this is not the case in windows

You have a good understanding of tcp ports and services. huh? As a matter of interest, how many RFCs have you read? Also, you listed a lot of the subjects that deafcode mentioned, but did not include Unix and buffer over-flow. Do you know how big those two subjects are all on their lonesome?!

I did not say in what depth ;) I just said I have 'some' knowledge of them with no specifics. If I said I know all these things really well, I guess it would be different. So yeah, you can be sure ;)

www.pulltheplug.org - A great site with different challenges that involve socket programing, linux in general, buffer overflows, network challenges etc.

Heres everything i got on Rooting . I hope this helps .

I think TCP/IP is number one thing to learn for this . Learning how packets are sent and received . Manipulating that communication to get the receiving machine to accept your packets . So understanding in depth how the OSI model / layers operate .

I read every last bit of info in every link above and i have many more . You can PM me if you feel like it . Ill help where i can . Peace .

Were you aware that python.com is a porn site?? :right:

Are you aware of how many times I get asked that question? xD

Uh.. you should get a good understanding of network intrusion to get your foot in the door, so to speak.

Also, you definitely need to research the following:

• C Programming
• Different architectures
• ASM (not 100 percent necessary but will help a LOT)
• Debugging tools
• Different types of exploitation.. BoFs (stack/heap based), Format strings, other common programming errors..

Some great sites to put your knowledge to use are:

• SmashTheStack.org
• Intruded.net
• PullThePlug.org
• Hack3r.com / RootHack
• RootThisBox.org (Now known as RootTheBox)

I personally found that SmashTheStack & Intruded had the best communities and the people are great to chat with.

Good luck

wow great resources. thanks everyone.

Re-using this thread…

Does anyone know a PC version/similar piece of software for AGnet Tools? AGnet Tools is for the mac but I want to know if there is an equivalent for PC.
