gcninja Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I apparently have somethign called xmarks and it shows me similar sites, i caught one thats like the opposite, or REALLY black hat, i know you guys grey hat of this place http://www.hackforums.net/ they REALLY dont care about law enforcement seeing their topics. it aslo had room362, binrev, remote-exploit and hak5.org, so i guess its doing a good job? lol just wanted to share Quote
VaKo Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Neat. I sometimes wish gray hat stuff could be encouraged here tbh, not sure what to do about that though. Quote
deleted Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I really wish there was more sites like that, sure if you are into taking down networks thats not quite right, but even for system administrators, it is alot easier to fight something if you know what your fighting. Quote
DingleBerries Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 If you want some nice sites rstcenter.com was good(down), darkc0de.com, and a few others have great content. It also helps if you know a foreign language. Quote
ls Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 The problem with "blackhat" forums where everyone can register is that 90 % of the people there are 15 year old boys who want to hack their school if you are really interested in computer security it's better to go to "whitehat" sites where most people are serious and know what they are talking about. At least that's my experience Quote
StarchyPizza Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah, basically you need to find a white hack website and pretend you're an IT professional learning some new things. Quote
digip Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah, basically you need to find a white hack website and pretend you're an IT professional learning some new things. Its not pretending, its learning for real by way of Social Engineering. Quote
dr0p Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Dingleberries, preferably russian.. Actually I'd go with Chinese personally... they're rather good with their low level stuff. Quote
Seshan Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Wost thing on the internet = Popular black hat forums. and 4chan. "i ned 2 no how 2 hax msn" "i pay 4 u 2 hax msn" "my friend opens my cd drive and controls my computer" -> "He installed a RAT on your computer" ->"No he didn't how does he do it?" -> " He installed a RAT delete it" ->"Okay I deleted it but he's still doing it, how does he do it" -> "You didn't delete it".... "Help!11!!!1!!1! i ned 2 keylog 4 runescape acounts" "How do I hax wifi" "How do I hax wifi" "How do I hax wifi" "How do I hax wifi" "i ned to hax gmail'' "help hax my msn" "Hax this site for me" Contents: "hax this site he called me a n008 www.somecrapassrandomsitehere.com" Okay I think I'm done.

Iain Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah, basically you need to find a white hack website and pretend you're an IT professional learning some new things. My experience of those sites is that the experts there won't divulge any dodgy techniques until a newcomer has been around for a while and has posted some useful messages. They're aware that it's easy to register and then ask noob-type questions. Some have a hidden inner sanctum to which invites are given ... then you get access to all sorts of information. Quote
messsy Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Some things are just not ment to be public. Im vip on a few forums (not showing off) and some of the information there is just cruel.. I mean yes, its always handy to be able to install a server on someones pc thats f**ked you off and to be able to secure your machine with the knowledge on the new tactics people are using but the other information just over steps the mark.. I think this is what creates inner circles. To be honest if your a loyal member with decent input you'll find people will help you with valid reason.. Well im on mobile and thumb hurts now lol Quote
VaKo Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 The problem is that with inner circles people tend to see it as a clique, and you get a huge us & them thing going on. This never works in the long run. The hak5 forums are primarily a forum for the fans of the show, rather than any uber hacker forum. This is always something i've had in mind during my time here. All I want to encourage is people talking about the technical ideas rather than moralizing on what can be done with this information. Quote
messsy Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Sounds fair. I have not seen the last showing as im having internet connection problems/fights with isp but i told a friend about the messenger server and he realy enjoyed it and will be using it. Quote
StarchyPizza Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 well its not easy to find "hacking" information without knowing the right people, so really you just have to be experimental and not get caught, or know someone Quote
psydT0ne Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Maybe hak5 SHOULD do a blackhat edition....a special episode separate from everything else. Quote
Seshan Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 well its not easy to find "hacking" information without knowing the right people, so really you just have to be experimental and not get caught, or know someone Yeah it is, Just find one black hat forum from google, hell you don't even have to find a black hat forum, and follow the trail, you will find tons of forums will all kinds of information. Some forums are less secretive then others. Quote
shonen Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Maybe hak5 SHOULD do a blackhat edition....a special episode separate from everything else I second this! Quote
Iain Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 It would be interesting to know how Darren et al will respond to this proposal. I know that there's a fine line between black and white hat activity and the distinction lies in the intent and the posession of authorisation to "do the deed". I suspect that if there is an episode or segment, it would be prefaced heavily with "this is for educational purposes" or "this is what responsible netadmins must know in order to protect their network" etc., otherwise there might be a visit to the HakHouse by some guys (or gals!) displaying frightening badges!

DingleBerries Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I can whip up a simple trojan for use on this episode if they want... Quote
DingleBerries Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I get to post twice because I am just that damn awesome! Quote
shonen Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 In the spirit of black hat edition to hack 5 I propose the only alcoholic beverage that can knocked back during the show is anything black label. Bring forth the top shelf shit! Quote
LauBen Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Why not just undertake a security assessment/penetration test of the Hak5 systems, or a lab setup to show the steps involved. This could get round a large amount of the "educational" non-white hat problems, and if they undertook what is known as a "black box" assessment which assumes no prior knowledge of the infrastructure to be tested ;) Anyway, just my 2cents.
