How to hack The Basics 2011

This is very basic text


and more advanced text will come later. Its easier to explain from

crackers perspective, so thats the way i'll do it. The following

steps are usualy taken by clueless crackers who dont know much about

anything, but they are the ones that do the most dammage...

so here it goes...




Things you need


---------------

A shell account of some kind. Usualy people jsut install Linux

in our days, but normal shell account will do. Just make sure you

can run basic programs like: nslookup, host, dig, ping, traceroute,

telnet, ssh, ftp etc. Also make sure it has GCC installed and other

dev tools, so you could compile stuff. Also helps having tools like

NMAP and NetCat. Last thing you need is exploits.



* Shell account is similar to your DOS shell, except it has different

commands and functions. Where you could get one? Your friend who has

Linux or something installed could give you a log on to his box or

maybe your ISP provides you with a shell (i doubt that very much)



* Linux is an operating system that most hackers/crackers use



* NMAP is an advanced port-scanner



* NetCat is a telnet like proggy which allows you to stream data to

specific host



* Exploits different programs, writen mainly in C, which do all the

work for you. Exploits are the progs that break into computer for

you. Where to find them? Well thats easy! http://www.hack.co.za



Weeellll... all the things above is all you need to brek into some

network! Basicaly all u need is:



a) Linux (http://www.slackware.com)

b) Nmap (http://www.insecure.org)

c) NetCat (http://www.l0pht.com/~weld/netcat/)

d) Exploits (http://www.hack.co.za)



Steps

-----

a) Install Linux and bring it on line. I'm not goanna explain how to

do this here... cause there are lots of books on this topic already.

Look in http://kgb.za.net/books/ ask me for username and password if

you dont know it yet.



b) Install nmap.

1) tar zxvf nmap.tar.gz

2) cd nmap

3) ./configure && make && make install

This is basic installation process.



c) Pick a target on line. Lets say your target is lame_box.za.net



d) Get its IP by doing "nslookup lame_box.za.net"

This will spit out the IP of the host... in our case it will be

196.1.2.3



e) See what services this host is running and hopefuly detect its

OS by doing:



"nmap -sS -O 196.1.2.3"



This command will give you output similar to the following:

----------------------------- cut here -----------------------------



root@kgb:~# nmap -sS -O 196.1.2.3



Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA22 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
