another hacking question

before i ask the question, just wanted to say sorry if its already been asked or if this is in the wrong section.

ok, i was wondering what i need to learn to know how to root? i dont know it thats the same as using nmap and telnet and those otehr things in the cmd prompt, but any help would be nice:|

How to root? Erh, read the rooting manual. It's all explained in part six.

sorry if its really general, i just dont know what to ask because i really have no idea where to start.

First research TCP/IP protocols, how computers work etc… Then learn to pentest boxes, enumerate their services, port scanning… basically how to find all the info you can gather from the box or the people perhaps behind the box. Then you can worry about exploiting these vulnerabilities, and then you will have a better understanding of what types of questions to ask when you do get stuck.

Hoq about start right here on HBH? We have rooting challenges, and this month some people even setup their own boxes so we can root them :happy:
