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.
You can even make it into the ranks of the Uberhackers without loading up on expensive computer
equipment. In Vol. II we introduce Linux, the free hacker-friendly operating system. It will even run on a 386
PC with just 2 Mb RAM! Linux is so good that many Internet Service Providers use it to run their systems.
In Vol. III we will also introduce Perl, the shell programming language beloved of Uberhackers. We will even
teach some seriously deadly hacker "exploits" that run on Perl using Linux. OK, you could use most of these
exploits to do illegal things. But they are only illegal if you run them against someone else's computer
without their permission. You can run any program in this series of Guides on your own computer, or your
(consenting) friend's computer -- if you dare! Hey, seriously, nothing in this series of Guides will actually
hurt your computer, unless you decide to trash it on purpose.
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.
So if you get an idea from the Guides to (mostly) Harmless Hacking that helps you to do something
malicious or destructive, it's your problem if you end up being the next hacker behind bars. Hey, the law
won't care if the guy whose computer you trash was being a d*. It won't care that the giant corporation
whose database you filched shafted your best buddy once. They will only care that you broke the law.
