You're going to have to read whether you like it or not. Just having the tools to do something doesn't make you a master or even good at it. And nobody is really going to hold your hand and walk you through something. They'll point to a resource and say, "Here. Read and understand this, then we'll dive into what you can do with it."

Ranting aside, if you're looking for a "Here's everything you need in one ISO" distro, you're looking for BackTrack Linux. You'll have to do a lot of reading on how to use it, though, and I recommend starting at their Wiki.

Sage for my dislike of black hat.

SAGE has been used.

No black hat is going to give you advice with a name like that.

>>51
What advice would you give to someone who is willing read book after book?

>>51
I apologise for inappropriately stating i would not read, I will read whatever i have to in order to extend the base of what i already know.

According to their backtrack-linux.org site, they offer courses to some degree? I´m to understand that this is one of the things you may not have interest in, however I think it would be fair to ask you what type of programming you´re assorted with?

Curiousity, Naturally.
>>52
I didn´t expect advice from any users of ¨Black Hat¨ting, i was just curious to see if anyone here would be able to provide sufficient information about them or their ways.

>>54
It's going to boil down to programming. So learn the ins and outs of some shells, learn the basics of what's going on during compilation/bootstrapping, learn how networks work, and basically you won't do any of this because you come across as an impatient person who wants easy results.

That´s a horrificly bias opinion, i do believe i´ve come across as impatient but that is only because this part of 99chan has such little response.

I just installed Back track 5R, where would be the best place to start learning about all of the exploits?


The Wiki didn't help as much as i thought it would in explaining all the content.

>>55
Spot on. With all the easily accessible resources available today anyone who must ask for help with this is not going to learn anything. But, hey, OP if you prove me wrong a year from now or whenever please post back.

OP, the path you're following (backtrack) leads to script-kiddie land. If you really want to be a bad ass cracker I suggest you do what >>55 said.but of course you won't

First you'll need to know how attacks work.
Take a gander at this page: http://theamazingking.com/exploit.php

It explains how exploits work in a fairly simple way.

As for 'Black Hat' techniques;
BackTrack is designed to help you take advantage of exploits, not to supply them. Exploits can sell for quite a bit, few people are going to give them away.

That said, a lot of people post them on 1337day, Full-Disclosure and such. Keep RSS tabs on Packetstorm's exploit feed, 1337day's feed and join the Full-Disclosure mailing list.

Once an exploit comes up, if you're using BackTrack then you'll have all tools you need to take advantage of that vulnerability. You'll have a C/C++ compiler, a bunch of interpreted languages and other essentials.

White Hat? As above, but you call your code "proof of concept" and submit a patch.

There is no such thing as 'Red Hat' programming, but there is Red Hat linux.
