Well done normie. Excellent advice.

You should really add "Advent of Code" to that list.

hello you must understand cpu design, os design, compiler design, program design and language design. then you must learn networking protocols, cryptography, filesystems, circuitry, radio and databases. then you must learn web and it stuff followed by social engineering. then you'll be able to find and use exploits to gain access to systems.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

The media really romanticizes the idea of hacking and being a hacker. It's the same with drug use. Movies and shows make it seem like using drugs is really great but it's actually really not great.
Nevertheless, being a hacker does look pretty awesome, especially after watching the Matrix or playing a game like Watch_Dogs. It definitely piques my interest and makes me want to learn more about computer science

>>59475028
So why dont you give up even though you know theres people better than you?

>Start reading through open source code looking for holes.

This is why open source is literally open sores.

>>59467962
I have that book and it's absolute shit for a beginner. Outdated and if your system is in any way different from his, the assembly will be fucked up.

>>59470905
I'm just visiting from [spoiler]/v/[/spoiler] so take this with a grain of salt but imo the most helpful thing for someone trying to "get into computers" is to demystify what a computer actually is. I remember being super confused for the longest fucking time because even if you read books on C or assembly there's still certain concepts that are just sort of vaguely assumed to "exist" somewhere in some abstract platonic space.

What finally cleared it up for me was reading about early mainframes, what a turing machine is, some basic logic maths, philosophy(the concept of the chinese room was very helpful for me), and analog precursors to the computer like babbage's analytical engine and mechanical looms.

Now that you have the foundation to learn:

Prowl through bug databases and exploit bugs. Target memory leaks, buffer overflows, or any other means possible. Do some research, learn about canaries, read PhD papers, etc.

So, you want to be a hacker?

You probably won't succeed, because you're asking on 4chan instead of going out and learning it. If you're the kind of person who needs their hand held, you will not be a good hacker.

But some advice regardless...

Untrusted input is the main flaw when dealing with hacking any kind of software, be it web apps, network services, or browsers. There are a lot of ways to fuck up in most languages. C has memory manipulation, which is hard to do right. PHP has mysql_ functions, because PHP devs are idiots. Also it has PHP, which is a disgusting abomination. There are similar flaws in all languages. You will need, at least, a grounding in C, some basic understanding of x86/x86-64 assembly, and knowledge of whatever language you're attacking: how people commonly implement things. How people commonly fuck up. How to make use of those fuckups.

Once that's done and you have code execution or database access or whatever, you'll need to understand what you're trying to do. This means familiarising yourself with bash, and with Linux in general. The same with Windows and OS X. You'll also need to learn about databases: SQL, for example, and how different DBs implement things differently. You'll need to learn common privilege-escalation methods, either via more exploits, or by misconfigurations. This requires a fairly holistic view of the operating system; you can't just install Ubuntu and expect to learn everything. Learn multiple distros.

Finally, you'll need stealth, and persistence. Learn what kind of logs your actions will leave: vim, for example, will create a .viminfo file in a home directory. Touch can be used to mirror a timestamp superficially, but actually, won't hold up to forensic investigation. How do you create backdoors on a system? How do you write agents for Windows? Do you do in-memory powershell persistence like all the cool kids? What about backdoors on Linux?

You mean 2 steps ahead of YOU?

Does anyone have any recommendations for what to read if I'm interested in learning reverse engineering?

I have a book on IDA, a book on reverse engineering, and a book on assembly, but are there any books in particular that would be useful? I was thinking that reading one on compilers might be beneficial since it would give me a better grasp on how the higher level code is translated to assembly, but correct me if I'm wrong.

hmu on irc i can teach the ways

>>59475108
>Outdated
Yeah, but security is basically an arms race.
When a fix is deployed, someone will find a more complicated vulnerability, which will have a more complicated fix, and so on ad infinitum.

Therefore, all relevant techniques will be WAY beyond your comprehension unless you start with the "outdated" basics.
