5 things a Beginner Hacker should know

Daily, I get many emails from the school students who want to be a hacker and search hacking related stuffs on internet. At this beginning they need a proper guide but most of them only have Google as a teacher. But there are some common mistake which most of these new hackers do. 


Here are few points for beginners which they should know.

1. At this stage, most of the students search for hacking tools and software. But Here i want to make this clear that no tool and software exists which can hack Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo, twitter or any aother website or email account in just few clicks. These types of posts on internet are just for attracting visits and spread spams. Most of this type of hacking tools are binded with trojans which leads your system at risk. The recent example it Anonymous LOIC tool which is used to hack members to use their system in criminal activities.
2. Never use any premium keylogger which is available free on filehosting websites. Hackers always host this type of tool with Trojans. After installing this type of keyloggers you will be hacked. 
3. Never pay for hacking on the websites which are asking money in return of hacking. If you want to pay for any hacking book, tool or other kit, pay only on the trusted websites. 
4. Join any good hacking forum and learn new things from the experts. Never follow a person just for his claims. Always follow a person who has real knowledge. Adding hacker word is not going to make anyone hacker. There are many Javascript pranks and online websites are available which are used to create fake screenshot and defacing pages. These are used by many noobs to create some fake hacking screenshot to share on Facebook. And beginners follow them thinking as a hacker.
5. Learn Programming languages and networking. These are must to be a hacker. Most of the hacking attacks such as SQL injection, PHP injection, XSS, Phising and many other needs the knowledge of programming.

Hacker is not the person who use keyloggers for hacking email ids and deface low secure innocent websites. Hacker is the person with indepth knowledge of computer who can create his own exploits to hack in the secure systems and servers. hacker is the person who is ready to take challenges. You may heard the name of many hacking groups who deface innocent websites just for fame. I think they are nothing just a noob. Hacking a school website or a shop website is not going to make you a hacker.
