WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO HACK?
You may wonder whether hackers need expensive computer equipment and a shelf full of technical manuals.
The answer is NO! Hacking can be surprisingly easy! Better yet, if you know how to search the Web, you
can find almost any computer information you need for free.
In fact, hacking is so easy that if you have an on-line service and know how to send and read email, you can
start hacking immediately. The GTMHH Beginners' Series #2 will show you where you can download
special hacker-friendly programs for Windows that are absolutely free. And we'll show you some easy
hacker tricks you can use them for.
Now suppose you want to become an elite hacker? All you will really need is an inexpensive "shell account"
with an Internet Service Provider. In the GTMHH Beginners' Series #3 we will tell you how to get a shell
account, log on, and start playing the greatest game on Earth: Unix hacking! Then in Vol.s I, II, and III of the
GTMHH you can get into Unix hacking seriously.
How to Use the Guides to (mostly) Harmless Hacking
If you know how to use a personal computer and are on the Internet, you already know enough to start
learn ing to be a hacker. You don't even need to read every single Guide to (mostly) Harmless Hacking in
order to become a hacker.
You can count on anything in Volumes I, II and III being so easy that you can jump in about anywhere and
just follow instructions.
But if your plan is to become "elite," you will do better if you read all the Guides, check out the many Web
sites and newsgroups to which we will point you, and find a mentor among the many talented hackers who
post to our Hackers forum or chat on our IRC server at http://www.infowar.com, and on the Happy Hacker
email list (email hacker[at]techbroker.com with message "subscribe").
If your goal is to become an Uberhacker, the Guides will end up being only the first in a mountain of material
that you will need to study. However, we offer a study strategy that can aid you in your quest to reach the
pinnacle of hacking.
How to Not Get Busted
One slight problem with hacking is that if you step over the line, you can go to jail. We will do our best to
warn you when we describe hacks that could get you into trouble with the law. But we are not attorneys or
experts on cyberlaw. In addition, every state and every country has its own laws. And these laws keep on
changing. So you have to use a little sense.
However, we have a Guide to (mostly) Harmless Hacking Computer Crime Law Series to help you avoid
some pitfalls.
But the best protection against getting busted is the Golden Rule. If you are about to do something that you
would not like to have done to you, forget it. Do hacks that make the world a better place, or that are at least
fun and harmless, and you should be able to keep out of trouble.
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE WINDOWS 95 VISUALS
OK, let's say you are hosting a wild party in your home. You decide to show your buddies that you are one
of those dread hacker d00dz. So you fire up your computer and what should come up on your screen but the
logo for "Windows 95." It's kind of lame looking, isn't it? Your computer looks just like everyone else's box.
Just like some boring corporate workstation operated by some guy with an IQ in the 80s.
Now if you are a serious hacker you would be booting up Linux or FreeBSD or some other kind of Unix on
your personal computer. But your friends don't know that. So you have an opportunity to social engineer
them into thinking you are fabulously elite by just by customizing your bootup screen.
