First of all a small explanation about why I made this thread.

I made it in "Hacking Tutorials" because I assume that every new member that wants to become a hacker should come here before long.

I also do not own anything on the link I'm about to paste.

I posted it here because I feel it is a really important read for anyone who wants to be a hacker and maybe even hackers themselves could learn a lot from this.

It is a really long read but I assure you it is more than worth it, take your time and read it even if you take a few days doing it.

If you are wanting to become a hacker but are thinking "meh this is too much to read, I'll just go look for something magical that will turn me into a hacker in 1 hour"... then the sad news is, you will probably never be a hacker or you will just get bored with it and give up.



Now that the introduction has been made, here is the link I talked about:

http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html

I recommend everyone to read this, I read it and it completely changed my life, not just things having to do with computers or hackings, but literally my whole life!

Hope it helps anyone

I read the first publication of this back in 2001 and it never fails to earn my respect in each successive revision.:thumbs:

Thanks for your opinion Linux

I decided to post this here because I feel everyone should read it as I said above ^^

It really gives you like an aim or something to shoot for if you still want to become a hacker, and if it doesn't, it gives you some great tips on life as well

Hope more people will read and enjoy this as I did

Indeed.
There is much insight in the publication that can be learned from and used in a myriad of ways.

It's a good read indeed thanks for the share, but at the risk of starting a discussion that veers dangerously off topic I disagree with the author stating Ubuntu is the best choice. Sure it's easy for newbies to get to grips with but in recent releases seems to have lost it's way focusing more on profit than than the community that created it, with amazon ads built in to desktop searches and such.

I would assume by the context of the statement made by the Author the it is to be inferred as directly related to a new user on the merit of numerous companies and entities using it as a base before actually tweaking it to their own specific needs (infer companies and entities).
Google uses Ubuntu for all aspects of their daily use internally after tweaking the interface for *Goobuntu*, packages, and the like of which results in Goobuntu used for engineering, development, website design, product design...
As a realistic, primary example of why the author specifically mentions Ubuntu as a first and foremost "best choice".

That's a fair point it may also be due to the fact the release of the offending version was after the last update of the document. Goobuntu looks interesting it's a shame there is no official release.

Oh yay I've given 69 thanks.... ehheheheheh

Off topic, move on xD

I had taken that into account, yet was too lazy to publicly include it in my comment after figuring you'd cover that very subject for me instead.:lol:
Eh...it is available for release and it is official within Google company channels themselves.

@Madderc
Nobody wants to leave your thread.
It makes us feel all warm and squishy inside.
Group hugs!:lub:

Oh I couldn't find a link to it with the quick search I did, and the article you pointed out to me said there was no commercial release but is widely used within Google
