ben Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 News:www.digg.com I wouldn't say that Digg can teach anyone anything about hacking. Yes, it's an interesting social networking site but I wouldn't put it in this list. Podcasts:http://www.grc.com/SecurityNow.htm <-- This is fantastic for people who are new to the field. If you have the time or motivation, go back and listen to them from day 1, they assume you know very little if anything and hit on all of the major topics in the security field. Fantastic show. I've got issues with Security Now! They are trying to do good things by explaining everything in a very dumbed down way but Steve Gibson bothers me because he jumps way overboard on things and isn't always technically accurate.

As for beginning. There are many different ways you can go, because hacking is a broad term. There are network hacks, software hacks, etc. I know this is a bad answer, but if want to get a good foundation, the best thing to do is learn one of those two, if not both. O'reilly has some great books out there on networking, as well as many good books on programming. If you want to start dissecting software eventually and finding flaws in it, it's almost essential that you have a good understanding of C and assembly. Then I would start digging into books like this. Also, reading through exploit code can teach you a lot. Check out milw0rm, Exploit Tree, and Security Focus for some great exploit code. With regards to networking, I would recommend picking up a few books on networking (Cisco, etc.) and see if you can find a few devices cheap on Ebay. Then start picking them apart, and testing out hacks. There are many good documents out there on packet forensics, and network flow. I would really read up on how networks really work, eveyone knows the basic concept, but computer networks are incredibly sophisticated and there is a lot to learn. In fact, I don't think any one person can possibly know all there is to know about digital networks, so there is always more to learn, and more vulnerabilities to discover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabath Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 How about a new wiki page where this infomation is presented in a more structured way for noob hackers - with links back to this sticky where they can ask follow up questions ?

leetabix Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I'm currently listening to all of the (well, upto episode 5 so far) security now podcasts. For someone who doesn't know a lot, and ought to know a lot more, it's a nice place to at least pick up basic information about certain topics, so I can then go and look for specific information on that subject. Still, time's against me at the moment-my dissertation is due in 10 days and I have another 4000 words to write, without all of my results as yet...

metatron Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 It’s a good introduction to the subject, but still an interesting watch for anyone who is already familiar with that whole area.

I can't understand what he's saying with that acent... it would be better with subtitles. I have to concentrate too much on understanding his acent. As a result I probably won't get much out of it.

Sparda Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Just an idea metatron, but since you seen to know the talks that are worth watching, why not add a lable to all the talks that you think are worth watching then just post the tags link here?

cooper Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Maybe we should ship this stuff to the Wiki and use what remains of this thread as a discussion point for what else should be featured in the Wiki page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
