Question

Programming

please tell me how to become a hacker? Should I continue to learn java? What languages ​​should a hacker know? What books should you read before becoming a hacker? What OS to use? I hope for your adequacy I ask the question for the first time.

Answer 1

To become a hacker in 2015, you had to start studying in 2012.

Answer 2

In principle, hacker skills do not differ much in our time from what it was 10 years ago. You need to know assembler and cish - without pluses and thoroughly, so that the phrase "C (without pluses) can be very OOP" could not cause a strange smirk on your face and was perceived as quite ordinary.
1. First of all, you need to learn how to use the debugger OllyDbg, IDA, etc.
2. Then you need to understand the x86 architecture at the level of understanding the distribution of access rights, working with memory and various SIMD / MIMD operations.
3. Nothing depends on the OS - knowledge and skills in kmdf/umdf and linux kernel device drivers complement each other. You also need to understand the system calls of the OS itself and how it's all operated by the good old glibc, etc. of things.
4. From languages, you need to take and experiment with everything - even in the same Java, within the framework of OpenJDK, there are a lot of experimental things, such as Project Graal and Project Sumatra, in which it is very useful to tinker for the sake of your own development. You never know what you will find and how it can be used later - the main thing is to look and not stop.
5. Convert the acquired skills and knowledge in a variety of ways - it is best to develop various prodigies for the kernel of the OS, become famous and work at IBM / Intel. WhiteHat/GreyHat earnings in the posting are unrealistic, and BlackHat threatens with a deadline.

Answer 3

For starters, stop watching Hollywood action movies, where hackers are those cool guys who break into cool security systems in a few minutes.
A good example of a hacker is given in House of Cards, although the series as a whole is not about that.
Oh, yes, exactly, about the question: first, bookmark the site https://www.google.ru/ , and then you will figure it out
. UPD: If TSa is not interested in hacking, he is only looking for instructions for schoolchildren on how to hack someone and make money from it. This was evident from the remote (and correctly, that deleted) by the moderator of another question of the TSa.
