Where can I learn to 'hack'?

[alkemyst]

well yes and no...sometimes getting in is not the hack. It's the means to the end though. At the time I hacked finding an open network was needed...wardialing would show the carriers.

Then testing the front doors. Things like banks and schools had relatively open doors. Jump on their network and head over to the BBS you wanted too.

bwahahaha.

SPIKE SENT.

In all seriousnes, this is a very silly question and shows the maturity level of the OP.

Why not go to anti-hacker forums and read up on what works?

Even better - drive really fast into the exit gate in a parking ramp.

Brute force bots that use rainbow tables? Mind you, you'd need one that offers rotating proxies or you'd be IP banned within a dozen or so attempts (on any worthwhile websites, anyways).

Bah, brute force is rarely the way to go. LoKe is right, the real trick is understanding the security measures you are dealing with.

The hard part is writing the spinny digits display that shows you exactly how many characters of a password you've guessed correctly so far.
