newbie

thanks buddy for wishing good luck.its just so many criticisms that looked like pure hatred, my every step was criticised, i was (and still i am ) completely ignorant of networking..also this is first time i posted in a non-indian blog..i tried to take your opinion to do my best ,some times i could not get you (like the double posting thing),but never thought some 16 yr old boy will call me noob. i came here to make some good friends ,specially i wanted to know the american people(i have already posted enough emotional garbage) ..but you took my ignorance for stupidity,and communication gap for retardness. i would have loved to come back here to be a part of this community because of your impressive knowledge( even that 16 yr old has designed a very beautiful website)..but , what can i say ,i better say the thing that i said million times..sorry if i caused you some trouble,or annoyed you wish you merry christmas in advance..to all of you

H@L0_F00, i thought what you meant by double posting was posting in two different threads..now i guess it may have something to do with posting twice at the same time..sincere apology because if i got that earlier,i would have stopped doing that immediately. jjhappypants,my Führer, thanks for the words like "retard" and "noob"..you brought in some variety where other people kept whinning about same bad old things Dingleberries ,sorry brother for that double posting(tell me this time i am correct)..bye the way , your website looks very nice..i liked your tone,but you turned critical.. i have taken project on Finite Automata(the thing i already know and so i don't have to bear any humiliation for asking people about it)..had i taken it few days earlier, i didn't have to meet people like jjhappypants..but there is a good side also..i met looney guiterist, vako,coder3d,h@L0_F00..who appeared to me nice despite the fact the question was stupid(i realized it later) do me one more fevour, STOP POSTING

also i ask for an apology for my bad grammer and spelling in advance ( i am from india ,in case you missed it).So, i don't want another 5 posts just to remind me of that.

may be for my thesis i make a software that will post "an apology for double posting " for every user who hits this thread,because i have done enough already. Well i don't want to hack anymore,i have already got some advises from here on vulnerabilities(YES,perhaps people here don't like me,but they DO give good advices,that is why i still check this thread every now and then) and working on that. So mr. i337virus , if you had followed the conversation here,you would have understood i am not asking for my "dirty works" to be done by anyone anymore.. Dingle Berries, i appreciate your advises about periods as well..i thought i used them not in the middle of the sentances,but i can change if you want and i will change if you want

Dingle Berries ,i am sorry i never watched the hobbits.........and the names bilbo baggins and throin (got them from your imdb link ) sounds funny to me, although i don't know if those names have any meanings at all.............i ,though watch a lot of american tv series ...........Full House , Friends and Hogan's Heroes are among my most feavourites.................i watched like a zillion of hollywood movies also........i just dream may be someday i will just go there and settle down...........this whole recession thing sucks big time..........H1b visas are very hard to come by........................job market is pretty much down here.............all IT companies are downsizing ....................how is the situation in USA?

it really feels nice when people become nice to you.........despite the differences and confusions............so thanks again

thanks Mr looney guiterist............previously i was somewhat a little hurt by the harsh comments.............but you look very nice in your last comment.......thanks..........Mr looney guiterist , its an engineering degree ,not on specific computer applications(you are right,even its tagged as a computer related one , its more like a combination of electronics,computer sc and management)..........what i meant was is it a good idea to write s/w s like vmware,honeypots in java..... Mr smoothCriminal, that is a very funny story , unlike in your place , in india there is no job fair in an university , companies come one at a time when you are in 6th semester.........first they take an aptitude test , then technical interview and HR round and finally selection.........in fact aptitude test is given even more value than your technical knowledge.......i had only 2 chances and converted it ...........in february IBM,HP and Accenture will be coming .....i hope to nail at least one...thats why i am in hurry to do my SCJP...just to get an edge...........was your man american?or someone went there from india?

i heard from one of our teacher who did MS from one of the State Universities in USA(don't remember which one) that in USA all that you do you do by yourself....from the scratch..........here in india teachers assist a lot in the initial phase...how and where to start.......so,i exactly asked for that.......even if it looks like asking for spoon feeding......i don't want to waste your time.................but even then, some camp up with advises that are truly good advises

perhaps you all wonder why i am doing this instead of going straight to the proffessor i have been assigned to for the project............the reason is that its not USA......the place i study in is a center of excellence here and yet there are lots of infrastructural and administrative problem........the problem i am facing is my mentor is from field of MIS (management information system) ,perhaps thats a mistake but so we are facing some problems..........I wanted to do this whole thing in Java....cause i will sit for SCJP 1.5 next month,so it will let me be in touch with java........but she was not so sure about what project can accomplish that goal..........by the time my mentor changes , it will be too late to change the project.............So, i asked you for help..........if you can give me topics in network security.......................that is why i mentioned JAVA so many times , and asked for specific topics ................ it would have been much greater if i found some topics which i can carry on in JAVA .............. but there were some communication gaps (mostly because of me though)........that is why i still can not reach you with my problem..........

yes i do have got some real nice advices here , that helped me a lot...........i will have to submit the topic by thursday, and i have thought of IDS or Honeypots ( now i will look for more information on those things in internet...if i will be able to do those things etc etc) i started with some arbitary topic which was stupid............then read your comments ( most of the times a little harsh, but very very useful) ..........so , thanks to all of you who shared their views.........

Mr. loony Guitarist, i am doing my B.Tech in Information Technology,currenty in 4th year.........Sorry if you are irritated by the use of abbreviations,i will keep that in mind......i apologized already for the double posting (look at the first post of this thread)..................i see that most of you are talking about vulnerabilities,insecurities etc.......can you be a little bit more specific about fields(like honey pots etc)..........one more thing,there might be a problem in taking a project on wireless technology....please suggest me other things than that involves wireless technology

Now after talking with you ppl, i have started realizing how lame the whole idea is of "ethical hacking"........Like mr Vako said.........i need to focus on the specific areas..............So, as i already gave u kinda over-all idea about my knowledge in computer science..........can u suggest some specific topics on network security that i can work on and yet stands up to the industry standard (well,this wasn't in my plan,but almost everyone said about it,and i respect that u actually care for other ppl) ? plz be sure that topic is within the reach of an undergrad,yet that will make an important thing to achieve. plz suggest some topics like Vako did.......within 24 hours i have changed my perception about hacking.....started realizing the importance of a final year project...........so do me one more favour...plz?

mr. devilish..............i mentioned maths earlier(engineering maths.....so, basically all the numerical analysis,statistics,graph theory etc.),besides i had papers on information theory and coding,communication systems(all those fsk,pcm etc etc),......i had 2 papers on s/w engg(lifecycles,testing,proj cost estimation etc etc).....i also mentioned in the 1st post that i know basics of networking( OSI & TCP/IP both,rudimentory but clear knowledge about the layers and respective protocols..of course known ones) ............i mentioned only networking,java,sql....cause i thought those things will be relevant in our discussion................cause in our country in enginnering courses u have pepers on chemistry,mechanical science,electonics,VLSI,electrical,circuit theory ...........everything.......... i didn't mentioned the whole cause that will make it cumbersome to read...but again, if you insist......

i wanted to do this in java.......so what's your take on that?

thanks for the feed backs........to those who think i am merely playing a joke(well they have reasons to do so),i tell you sir i didn't talked about my university,because i am from india and you won't recognize the name of the university sitting back in kent or australia......and also i have already got 2 jobs ( 1 in Tata Consultency Services and 1 in Infosys , i wonder if u ever heard of them,but i have to tell you anyway) as software developer.....so i need not worry about that either.......i did not want to talk about my personal details but you insisted........i see mentioning"final year project" led to diverting from the the actual question...... coder3d, thanks for the name of those books, i will definitely read those books(i have got "hacking for dummies" and started reading it also)..... to all,i never asked you to teach me how to hack .Sir, i understand that can not be taught,its pure creativity.....but i asked you for advise on starting with which books or prog. languages .....after initial step , i would have done it of my own,i needed suggestions like coder3d gave........i hope this time i made myself clear
