Does Jow Forums have any actual hacking experience?

My only experience was when I hacked into my friends' facebook accounts, but all I did was a bit of social engineering and writing my own FUD logger. The program also clears all their browsers' cookies so they'd have to type their password again.
This was years ago but I still don't know of any other way to hack into their accounts, if there even is another way.

So anyways, tell me your hacking stories, Jow Forums.

Nice try, FBI.

I have hijacked PYMK fb feature 3 years ago with only social engineering no code

This guy sure makes weird websites.

what exactly did this do for you

I hacked into your mom's pussy with social engineering.

Most of Jow Forums haven't hacked into shit. A lot of the people here are underaged script kiddies who can't even write their own code without following a tutorial, and since most of the things they teach you in hacking tutorials online can be easily detected by any antivirus softwares nowadays, they just give up.

this let me see who was watching my profile w/o notice me. And spot a secret zuck profile and a bunch of fb researcher interested in the anomaly i've createdin the system

I once used wireshark and an MITM to get the router password at my parents after my dad blocked my internet access. Outside of that nah.

I used to RAT people on Minecraft and other 'kiddy' games as a kid, most slaves I ever got simultaneously was like 10.
Moved on from that to messing around in backtrack (kali linux before name change).
As I started learning coding I got in to writing cracking tools, sql injection shit, and social engineering, which I made some money off.
Now uni takes up most of my time, and I've lost interest in most stuff in life.
Anyway all the stuff I did was pretty surface level, not too hard.

>Now uni takes up most of my time, and I've lost interest in most stuff in life.
Literally the same thing that's happened to me. Before uni I was so happy and had a lot of aspirations, and now I'm depressed because I can barely find the time anymore to have fun and learn stuff about things that I actually want to learn, not the shit they teach me in college. And also knowing the once I graduate, I still won't have the time because I'd have to go to work and all that shit. Now I just wanna kill myself and get it over with.

Did some pentesting for a bank that I worked at shortly, didn't find any glaring security flaws but I did find out that a couple of important server racks had to regularly restart because the dipshit sysadmin configured each rack with 32gb of memory and a 32-bit OS, I was glad I wasn't there when they did the migration.

Can relate user, maybe it is the educational system that sucking out my energy and the willingness to learn.
As a kid I wanted to try this and this and do that and that, but all I do when I get home now is literally to just watch youtube and to the bare minimum to pass.
I wish I had the spirit of wanting to learn new stuff again, and when am I supposed to have free time anyway?
I've been in school / uni now all my life, and I'll work during the summers to help with debt.
After uni I'm pretty sure I'll get offered a job and work for the rest of my life, that life doesn't appeal so much to me.
Anyway sorry for blog post

Oh my God are you guys literally me? Fuck college, I want to learn stuff I'm actually interested in learning, on my own god damn time.

>tfw learned a ton on my own before going to class
>taking intensive course that boils 2 years into 6 months
>sleeping in half the classes because I already know most of the material
just gotta know your shit before hand lol

Haven't really written my own attack.
Mostly I just use physical entry and/or social engineering.

Every once in a while a play around with CTFs at hackthebox, nothing to fancy usually I just use some Proof of concept for some exploit I know the machine is vulnerable to I always try to understand 100% how the exploit works, why it happens and how to prevent it, it's a nice way to learn

Hahah, I'm kinda glad there are others in my situation as well. At least I'm not alone in feeling like this.
A part of me just wants to run away from this life and move to some small village far away and leave this technology obsessed world behind.
And the other side is like 'nah don't be dumb, get ur ass through uni, get a well paying job and be happy for the rest of ur life'.
Shits complicated hahah, can't say that I'm happy with life rn.

I really can't force myself to learn something I don't like by myself.
However I've had it pretty easy in the programming courses I've taken so far while I've seen other people struggle a bit more.
However these math courses are killing me, I honestly have a hard time reading the course book without getting tired and wanting to sleep.

>Now uni takes up most of my time, and I've lost interest in most stuff in life.
I'm also in this boat. In high school I'd have 4-5 pet projects going at a time and actually do some kinda cool shit, now I spend all my time bullshitting assignments, going to class, and being depressed. In the summer I get back into projects and shit, but it's not the same.

i heard some hacker hacked into pentagon and saw some UFO files and got jailed for life

Ops, wrote 'however' two times, might have to improve my English

All the "hacking" I've ever done was guessing passwords in middle school. The school IT dude had a very shitty way of setting initial passwords and didn't expire the password when setting them. I also was banned from using any school computers by the school IT guy because I had an ssh client stored in my personal school network drive.

I also know my way around IDA if you consider that hacking.

Not today, NSA

>I really can't force myself to learn something I don't like by myself.
I think you might be trying to get into the wrong field then, I would only recommend computers to people that have a genuine passion for it as if not it's a masochistic exercise in some of the most sisyphian tasks imaginable. If it's easier for you though you might be able to get by and don't worry too much about the math unless you're doing science specific applications or graphical rendering, just pass them and move on, if you can't stay awake, coffee, if that doesn't work, ask your doctor about ADHD meds.

I wanted to be a l33t hacker when I was a kid. I managed to crack into someone's computer on a public hotel wifi once. Left them a nice little note on their desktop recommending they update their machine and which port I got in through.

That's about it from the "cracking" side. I've also made some binary hacks though, to remove license restrictions and things.

My dream died when I realized just how fucking pwnt everyone already is.
You're really only able to get away with shit because they allow you to, e.g. because they're not motivated enough to personally target you.
Basically the ONLY way to truly remove any trace of your identity from some cracking activity is to use a stolen laptop, in a different city than where you live, on public wifi. And even then you could probably still get caught if the government was motivated enough through security camera footage.

I appreciate the advice, yeah I've questioned myself if I'm in to the right field. Tbh the only interest I have is computers, that might not mean I want to work with them, but for now that's all I have.
I'm specifically interested in computer security, but taking comp sci currently.
Kind of debating whether I should drop off and go to a lesser ranked uni for that comp sec instead, but it feels like wasted time if I just drop off here without finishing.

>comp sec
I'd recommend learning stuff like assembly and getting as close to the hardware of a computer as possible. Also, look into backtrack (think it's kali now or something else). Most hacking is social engineering these days tho, if you have decent people skills and can carry a box of doughnuts you can do pretty well at pen testing. As for courses, try to get through comp sci as it can teach you some valuable stuff about how the system actually works at it's core which can be very helpful in understanding how certain attacks work, other than that, hardware level programing and system administration courses would help a good bit if you intend to be on the inside putting up walls. That and maybe some SQL on the side, at least enough to know how an injection attack works.

When I was in primary school, I wrote Visual Basic script that constantly opens "your computer is infected" popup. Then I called teacher and she panicked and unplugged power cable. I was like "what the fuck are you doing, you can't do this to a computer".

I tried to crack some old program but went nowhere with it. But I often do small hacks to show vulnerabilities when I get a pull request to review.

I once hacked some insecure website and added script injections with memes and shit. Also figured out how to delete any post or comment on the page.

I've seen people hacking various things over internet, cameras, websites, databases and know how to do it(anyone with decent knowledge of these knows it) but I never really did anything big on my own.

Reverse engineered an executable which had a keylogger and got access to his email account and posted gay porn on his Facebook (or was it myspace? no idea anymore) and messaged his relatives also sendting gay porn saying he's into it. I think it was also a shitskin country so he might have gotten in big trouble.

Hijacked the admins session of a now defunct bot website and contacted the admin on IRC and got beta access to his software because I was being nice and told him about his website's vulnerability. I could have just used it without telling the guy but I felt bad for him for having terribad programmers on his team.

Wrote bots and cheat tools for various online games (mainly exploiting bad design). Also hacked asshole's bot website because he was reselling a cracked bot and released their customer information. Also cracked his bot and made it publicly available so people wouldn't give him money for his "work".

Wrote malware to make money off ad revenue of a now defunct advertising platform (I didn't make much).

Bypassed various website's pay feature to get shit for free.

You cheered me up a bit thanks! Yeah I was that dude that mentioned I played around in backtrack as a kid and I've set a goal this year to learn C. I already know most basic sec stuff and how it works because I used to do it myself when I was little.
Thanks again user, you've given me hope.

Same here. I’m not even sure what I’m living for anymore. I stress out about uni so that I can get a job that will stress me out even more. What the fuck is the point of this? To make enough money to support a family? Like that’s ever going to happen. Even if it did it would probably just be horrible.

I’m too afraid to put the gun in my mouth but I fantasize about it every day.

>Thanks again user, you've given me hope.
That's all you really need honestly

any good free books pic related?

How do literal idiots get jobs like that

Mine wrote them all down on a piece of paper
All of them

this, I don't have life I study the next course in vacations instead of being a neet and just play around in class koding pretending to be super smart

Mum would be sad...

nerdlife is pretty comfy

I have experience being a hack

I tried reading a tutorial on hacking unsecured wireless networks with nmap, but never got anywhere. You know how Linux tutorials are, they say "Do A and B will happen" but C happens instead of B.

>wow user is so smart one in generations

has nothing to do with generations, plenty of people forsake social life and relaxation for further knowledge

What's pwnt? speak English man

hacked

>You're really only able to get away with shit because they allow you to, e.g. because they're not motivated enough to personally target you.

How so Jow Forumsman? Do you mean browser HTTP botnet? Windows botnet?

Seriously? Internet users today don't know what that means? You just replace the p with an o. It means "owned" or "ownage".

Those all help them track you, sure, but the real reason is the ISP logs.
They know it's their most powerful weapon too, which is why the US government put a lot of pressure to shutdown an anonymous ISP that was going to launch in sweden a while back.

From the ISP they can tell exactly what messages are leaving whose computer and going where. Doesn't matter if it's encrypted or whatever, or how obscure the packets are. All that matters is that law enforcement can determine which packets the hack came from, even if they don't understand them. Then they contact the ISP and figure out who sent them.

Even if it comes from a VPN, we know the government can force companies to log their shit _covertly_. They can literally tell a company that they have to monitor their traffic and that they are not allowed to inform anyone about it, they either go along with it or have their business shut down.
Companies always start up promising they won't track you, until they get contacted by some nice gentlemen in black suits who tell them that they have to anyway and that they _cannot change_ the statement that they won't track you either because they're not allowed to inform anyone about it. They either go along with this and let their customers believe they cannot be tracked while tracking them, or they have their business shut down.
We know all of this because of what happened to LavaBit.

So now that everything is logged they just compare the packets from the ISP to those from the VPN and see who it really comes from.
Of course you can chain VPN's and proxies or whatever but then it boils down to what I said: "how motivated they are". They can just rinse and repeat as many times as possible until they find you.

Wow, this is like explaining what memes are to your 200 year old grandma, but this time it's newfags.

I used a gameshark to get a lvl 99 Charizard

u r like a hack g0d

one time there was a new video from a sports company i liked but it was password protected, guessed it first try and got a sneak peek

trying to get into it. Man there is so much stuff i dont know. Trying to bruteforce my neighbor wifi

To hack, you have to "think" and not "know". Big difference.

when i was 14 i hacked more than a thousand pc by posting a trojan with a 3gp porn video on a forum
I ended up deleting all their serbers
>muh swarm of bots

redpill me on ports dude
