I really hope you meant white hat hacking and not black hat hacking.

Well, if he understands the term "Hacking" actually means white-hacking in general, we're good. But if he intended it for Cracking. Well, then, um. Uh-oh.

Not malicous black-hat hacking. I don't want to be a cracker.

That is #3 on my list. The knowledge is power, the internet is a wealth of knowledge. If you can control it, you rule all.

Very true.

yeah:

-C
-C++
-Assembly
-SQL
-JavaScript
-Ruby
-Perl
-PHP
-Unix system knowledge.. probably the hardest bit. I've already got ubuntu linux 12.04 btw.

I think that seems like a decent list?

It is not bad but slightly overwhelming and Java is a good language to know. I would stick with C++ or Java till you reach a level where you can make almost anything you want to. Then probably branch out. JavaScript PHP&MSQL you can learn at the same time. Perl and Ruby should not be as hard after you full master C++.

I've already got ubuntu linux 12.04 btw.

That is nice but you need to open the terminal and start doing things. Installing new packages or software will be the first thing you will need to do.

yeah.. I've done quite bit in the terminal so far.  I've even had to ./configure && make &&make install some things like nemesis(packet injection) and few other things. So not too bad on that.

btw.. how do you read sudo?

is it soo-doo or soo-doe?

C++ will take a long time though.

I recently heard about Sockets? How does that work

I say "sue do"--as in "Sue do the dishes"

C++ will take a long time though.

Everything worthwhile does. It might take a thousand hours or more to truly master it or becoming highly competent with it. But that includes learning the programming paradigm with it. Next language won't take nearly as long. Since you build on the base of what you know and not create the base which requires more effort.

I recently heard about Sockets? How does that work

No, I don't know much about networking and not a class I'm planning to take. So I won't be able to help you much. Be warned networking is a third year class that has data structures, linear algebra and calculus I as the prerequisite in most universities. It might be out of your scope right now.

So how can i register for this?.....I want too learn Java and C++.

@kyhree1359 If you read the whole thread you will know :P. Just go to my profile and you will see an email address there. Shoot me an email and I'll reply. You're pretty lucky I just started the class yesterday night.

oh really? That is good i kinda just skimmed through it.

I sent you an email like you said. But Im rather curious...are you like going to send us lessons...or just try to chat with each of us personally?

are you like going to send us lessons

I'll give you the resources and tell you how to go about it and what to do. Like I just sent out an email with what sections you are supposed to read from a online textbook I linked you to. I'll also give you same code and probably skeleton programs for you to complete for assignments. You will send the assignments to me and I'll check them. I don't know if anyone wants anything graded so I'll just send them back with comments/ corrections or send you a comment on how you did.

chat with each of us personally?

Unless you need specific help with understanding something or an assignment I won't be talking to you for extended period of time.

Also I hope everyone got the email that I sent yesterday with all the resources. I'm not used to emailing large groups of people.  Ace and kyhree should have them since I just replied with the same thing I sent.
