Hacking/Programming Mentor Request - L3st4t - 12-08-2012

Hey guys. I'm looking for someone to mentor me as a hacker and/or programmer. I have minimal or no experience in either field so I would really appreciate someone to mentor me. Thanks in advance.

Please descripe a little more. What kind of hacking? A little personal info too. Like if you're a slow learner and stuff like that. Smile

And what programming languages you want to learn.

I could help you to start with PYTHON programming.

I would like to just get a well rounded base of knowledge. i might want to start with something simple and work up to something more difficult. i think i want to get into some white and black hat hacking. that would be my main goal.

On the programming note, i would really like to learn to develop for any platform, especially android. i would like to learn code languages and i've also always had an ultimate goal of creating my own computer operating system. i know that's REALLY ambitious but i think it can be done if i want to make a linux distro.

Lastly, Guxi, how useful is python and what are the ways in which it is used?

RE: Hacking/Programming Mentor Request - Guxi - 12-08-2012

Read these key distinguishing features from Python website. Quoting here:

* very clear, readable syntax
* strong introspection capabilities
* intuitive object orientation
* natural expression of procedural code
* full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
* exception-based error handling
* very high level dynamic data types
* extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
* extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
* embeddable within applications as a scripting interface

Read about Application Domains it can be used for (also taken from Python website) . Quoting the top level app domains here:

Web and Internet Development
Database Access
Desktop GUIs
Scientific and Numeric
Education
Network Programming
Software Development
Game and 3D Graphics

shortly said = It's good programming languages used widely, with easily readable syntax's. Not too complicated, good choice to being your programming career!

If you ultimately are going to create your own OS, you will have to dedicate all your life to it. You will have to make research on every little aspect of how a computer works.

You will also have to know some hardcore programming languages, and it will take years to reach that level of skills it will aquire. But i will recommend you to look into what Frooxius have posted on this forum. He is definitely one of the most high quality and highest skilled person i have know. Read all of his tut / threads, and you will have a basic understanding about how much work it will aquire.

When that's said i admire your ambitions, and i would say go for it!

Good luck on your journey, i will be able to answer most of your questions but if you want to go in depth with low level programming and such i won't be able to answer your questions.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate this. Does anyone know how i could get into some "Grey Hat" hacking?
