How to have a mindset for coding legitimate services? - DonClark - 07-30-2021 I have a few languages I've learned and can logically follow that I develop applications with. Problem is how do I code something not illegal or something not hacking based? I've done projects ranging from automating web hacking tasks like finding vulnerabilities and exploiting them to account crackers, spammers, game cheats, crawlers/scrapers to find special information or things other hackers have leaked etc. I'm pretty good at it and learned more by just writing the same programs over and over and implementing new ways to improve them but if I were to ever become a programmer for profit or career wise I'd want something legitimate to start but how do yall find the motivation? Everything else seems boring and competitive. it's like writers block but for legitimate and legal coding ideas. RE: How to have a mindset for coding legitimate services? - sunjester - 08-19-2021 I am going to give some advice here about getting profit from legal programming from app markets. -- This is a question a lot of new hackers and developers ask. What I like to do is check app stores for popular stuff or tools I would like to see. Networking tools, etc, most of them are pretty lame and ad heavy. I have created some apps that are currently on the play store collecting ad money. thats legit, and all you have to do is do some research, learn to make it, then publish. Now, that's the low hanging fruit. Many people miss the core of software programming because they cant afford classes or just dont have access to the proper documentation to push you in the correct direction of the learning tree. so lets try to do it with 3 big points? -- 1. find the need 2. cross platform 3. publish -- 1. a good way to push an app onto the market (quickly and for profit) is to find an area where it's flooded and either flood it more with your crap or take the top features from the top apps and put them in your app. it WILL pass. https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ip%20address&c=apps&hl=en_US&gl=US 2. there is no reason your app should not be cross platform. ive been developing for over 20 years, before app stores were ever thought of, and its easier than ever to create cross platform apps. if your app isnt cross platform, your doing it wrong and your apps sustainability will be low. 3. publishing to various stores does require some money, but there are always people out there to give their money away. most cost you yearly, but its not expensive anymore. when i first published to the play store (before it was even called play store) it was 250.00/yr. IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS to publish. Google has a vry easy system to follow but some of the steps can be quite advanced. If you figured out how to create a cross platform app, you can figure this out. SOMETIMES it takes forever. (publishing to the chrome web store can also take a long time, be patient) i am not an expert, ive just been doing it a long time, you can always message me. and no i dont always answer messages but normally ALWAYS answer my emails to protonmail. and if i made it sound easy, its not, but there are people here who can help. RE: How to have a mindset for coding legitimate services? - sunjester - 09-02-2021 most of the time my projects are rejected from the main play stores/web stores, so i normally have to market them myself, like the chrome extension i recently submitted, it took them 2 months to review and then reject the extension. so i could fix them issues (pictured below) then wait another 24 hours to 2 months for them to review it. in the meantime, this project is dead in the water. and these are the things you need to prepare yourself for when creating legitimate software. its not the same as creating software for high school kiddies with all the same version of windows or kali. even the most basic software on a play/web store has more "red tape" than other things like some easy crypter or rat on hackforums that someone probably just ported and shifted a few bits or something.
