GUIDE TO LEARNING HOW TO HACK 

Part 3 - Ver. 1  

Knowledge put to good use! 
________________________________________________________________ 

Carolyn MyAnal, Gay Pee, every Newbie and the Media have finally  
driven me to write this guide due to their entire misunderstanding 
of what it means to hack. It is hoped that these people read 
this guide and comprehend what the scene is really about. 

This guide is in three parts, part 1 covering the mind 
frame of the hacker, part 2 covering the approach to how to 
learning how to hack and part 3 covering how you should best 
use the knowledge that you gain. 

This is the third part, and covers what most consider the most  
important thing in hacking, how to use your knowledge. 
*********************** 
Newbie note: Though this guide will not teach you how to hack,  
you should read it and use it to learn how to hack, as the name  
suggests.

Definitions: 
^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
\|/ What are Ethics? \|/ 

-  Though all hackers claim to have Ethics, only White Hat  
ethics are worth mentioning as they have been in part 1.  
Ethics control all things in life, but in Hacking Ethics  
tends to be one of the most important aspects. 

\|/ What is considerate hacking? \|/ 

- Few hackers appear to be able to control themselves when they  
find they have root on a webserver and tend to change the index.html. 
Though this is strongly advised against, if you do change an  
index.html make sure to follow these guidelines: 
 A) Make sure your pre-composed index.html is legible,  
    leet talk helps no-one. 
 B) Make sure you rename the old index.html to indexold.html 
 C) Link up the old webpage and inform the sysop where to find it. 
*********************** 
Newbie note: This will not keep you out of jail, it will not give you 
any legal standing, it is basically an appology for beating up on the  
sysops site and helping him recover quickly, he may even decide not  
to investigate further, but it is still safest not to change anything  
on the site.

Discussion: 
^^^^^^^^^^^ 
Now that you are well on your way to learning how to hack, it is  
time to consider what you will do with your new knowledge. You  
have a number of options open to you now, such as who to tell  
that you are a hacker, what to hack and how to hack. Though  
these choices seem obvious to most people, I will go through  
these to give you an idea of which situations you may land in. 
________________________________________________________________ 

How to hack: 
^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
No, this is not going to teach you how to hack, rather it will  
discuss how you will hack. Of the many ways there are two main  
ways, White Hat or Black Hat. The best way to not get caught is  
to stay White Hat. The majority of Black Hat Hackers get bust  
sooner or later, and getting treated for computer addiction is  
no fun for anyone. Another thing to consider is your reasoning  
for hacking, once again, the best is to see how the state of  
computer security is and to show people how flawed their  
servers are. You could also hack for a objective such as  
shutting down paedophillia sites, but the host will often  
complain and the law will be less on your side than the  
sicko sysop. Whatever you use as your motivation for  
hacking, remember that only your actions will decide  
whether you land up in jail or not. 
________________________________________________________________ 

What to hack: 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
A general rule of thumb is "hack what you can", but watch what  
you hack as certain people are inadvisable to mess with. These  
include the massively popular proving grounds, such as the DoD  
and NASA, though their security administrators are all  
experiments involving trained chimpanzees, these agencise  
have a heck of alot of time on their hands, seeing they never  
do anything useful, to spend time tracking hackers. 
________________________________________________________________ 

Who to tell you are a hacker: 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
It is suggested that you "Trust No-One" but it is supposed that  
if your buddies at the local 2600 meeting know you are a hacker  
or the folks in #hack on your irc server, well... it considered  
normal I guess. Telling anybody details of what systems you are  
in is a strict bad idea. Even your girlfriend or mom may get  
pissed off at you some day and bust you (alot of hackers have  
been ratted by their lovers). Talking to any media organisation  
takes careful consideration, as not only are you talking to a  
known rumour monger and twister of words, but you are also  
representing yourself as the entire hacker nation. Best leave  
media gala's to media whore, we can always disown them and they  
never feel bad about misrepresenting us.

Finito: 
^^^^^^^ 
That concludes part 3 of the GUIDE TO LEARNING HOW TO HACK:  
Knowledge put to good use! 
Remember hacking is as much thinking like a hacker and learning  
as it is hacking. 
Thus ends this edition of GUIDE TO LEARNING HOW TO HACK. Future  
revisions are foreseeable, so keep your senses prevalent.
