Beginner

Can anyone tell me the best way to get started with hacking? I have absolutely no experience, but want to learn. Any good books, or websites to go to?

well you should try and work your way through the challenges and make sure you understand them, there is no instant way to get started, if you get stuck in a challenge ask for help and not the answer. Also read the forums and try the challenges on hts.org…..www.hackthissite.org. Also read the articles.

google.

google is the hackers best friend.

anything you'll need, be it tools or knowledge is a click away, as mr. cheese said google is a hackers best friend.

but spelling you 'y00' is definitely the way forward
