Hacking is not a step by step process like some people believe. Heres a few things I have picked up along the way or already knew.
1) Hacking is not like the movies
2) Hackers are usually nerds and normal people they are not 16 years in a trench coat and have a red box
3) Most questions can be answered by reading alot and understanding computers, OS', and specific systems. I have found that to become a good hacker you must read alot and understand what you are trying to hack and find your own way in. There isnt always a certain way to get in.

You certainly are on your way... hooray... though regarding 2. search for the "nerds versus geeks poll" I think that will be an ongoing battle ;) ... good luck!

I bow to your awesome treasure trove of knowledge.
1) Hacking is not like the movies
Damn. You mean, when I hack a Gibson it won't come up on my computer screen in 3d imagining?
2) Hackers are usually nerds and normal people they are not 16 years in a trench coat and have a red box
Go Back to Lurking! I am not a Nerd. I am a gay geek.

1. Hacking is the scientific method: hypothesize, test, report, repeat.
2. Nothing is like the movies, if the movies were like life, then it would be pointless to go to the movies.
3. Hackers can be anyone, they may even be normal, they may wear a trenchcoat for 16 years, and only dorks have red boxes.
4. The scientific method is hacking.

Yes...a naturally pink haired permanently flippin' the bird, eternal flame cigarette smokin' tellin idiots to fuck off and die while bitch slapping the masses mother fucker. I'm down.
I would love to create some sort of hybrid and feed it scriptkiddies and noobs. We could also have cattle prods to poke it with just in case it gets wild. And just for fun we could unleash on a neighborhood and watch cause chaos and terror then cage it again and cause this huge hush hush government scandal when the FBI cant figure what happened or what caused it. Muahhahahaha.

Just how Chris can flip people off so much I'll never know. I can't even flipoff drivers who cut me off!
It's a gift! The true trick is to learn how to flip people off all the time, be way to slow to out run them, AND still avoid getting the crap kicked out of you. Once you have that down you are golden;)
