Mr-Protocol Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I really hope you are kidding. But if you are not kidding, then PM me with what you know and we will talk pricing for tutoring you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I really hope you are kidding. But if you are not kidding, then PM me with what you know and we will talk pricing for tutoring you. You should open your own online school and provide tutorials for a fixed price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix.Gray Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The first step - is to research - No spoons my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpn Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I would advise starting with the basics, such as core programming principles (C, Assembly). There are many books available, but I find you can't go wrong with the O'Reilly series. Once you have a good understanding of computer software, then move to an area of computer security that interests you, such as Network protocols, drivers / kernel security (Ring 0), Web Services etc. There are numerous CompSec and Pentesting communities dotted around the internet with information you can use to further yourself. Then just learn, learn, learn !!! It's not easy, but if you are serious, you can achieve your goal. PS: I hope it goes without saying that this advice is based on the understanding that you are learning to 'Hack' in the traditional sense, not for malicious purposes.

Mr-Protocol Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The real interest was programming in Visual Basic.NET. I pointed him in the right direction with our private messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpn Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Is that to say you pointed him to C# ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Is that to say you pointed him to C# ? He wanted VB.NET so I pointed him that way. If anything Python. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 C programming would be a nice language to learn, as for scripting Python would would be the ideal. But first learn one language, get an understanding of how it works and then move onto the next one. Also if you are damn serious about security, there are courses you can undertake. Courses http://www.offensive-security.com/information-security-training/. Certifications http://www.offensive-security.com/information-security-certifications/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I started off with a things like Dark Basic and so on early on. I self taught Visual Basic 6 back in '99. Then took a VB.NET course in college around '03. Then a C/C++ in '06. Self learning python and NetLinx (AMX Control Systems) currently.

h.o.y.m Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 ok i am very serious i really want to learn but all of u have a different opinion iam now learning from the book about vb.net mr.protocol sent it to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Visual Basic is a nice programming basic intro language. C/C++ is good to learn because most things are based off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.o.y.m Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 but i need to know what is the Difference between C#, C++, Java, VB.net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.o.y.m Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 u mean i should start with c++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaykruer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well, in my view, functional programming seems to be where everything's headed. So to get a head start, I've begun learning Haskell, for a more useful language to start with that will teach you great habits I'd go with Lisp. It's a fantastic language, IMO. Two books to check out are Learn You a Haskell for Great Good, and Land of Lisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjames Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I myself would like to learn C just so i can program arduino. Any other knowledge would be a plus. I do have some interest in programing in general but i don't think i have the capacity to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachai Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You also need to learn linux. Just knowing programming is good but you will need to learn other OS. Try backtrack, or Ubuntu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrb0i Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I would agree with several comments. Learn Linux (from the command line, gui's don't count ;) ) and while your at it since you are keen to learn programming, start learning something you can use immediately, as in how to write shell scripts. Highly useful, and you can use the concepts you learn (loops, variables, functions, etc) to apply to higher level languages. And while your at it, learn some vi, always handy for whipping out quick stuff without digging through some menu for a gui text editor. Infosec and hacking is a discipline that crosses networking, os, application, system, physical, etc so you pretty much have to have good knowledge across the whole gamut. There are no shortcuts, just lots of keystrokes and experiences between you and your goal. Cheers! bkrb0i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potato Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Lean metasploit and mdk3. You don't need a teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traffic Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 when you are starting out it almost doesn't really matter what language you learn. they are just about all going to teach you the same basics so make sure you learn and understand object oriented programming, linear programming, then variables, arrays, loops, hashes, logic operators and comparisons. that is really enough to keep you busy for a bit. understand the fundamentals and theory of program structure and you can pretty much relate that to any language you want. there will always be another flavor of the year language to learn but they all are foundationed with the same stuff. the rest is what is the best tool for the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
