Computer Hacking: A quest for knowledge and dominance

Certified ethical hacking is suppose to be course you do that will give you all the proffessional knowledge to help companies and people that are being hacked and that have been hacked.

I personally like the idea its a brilliant scheme, but i think that it will also teach want to be bad ass hackers the skills they need to break into peoples systems and mess around with their settings... even destroy their computers.

When people use the word ethical infront of hacking... it really makes me cringe, because you dont have to be ethical to hack... infact you could be the hacker from hell that the CIA is after, but your ethically helping a friend out because he is being tracked by the government.

It's really a hard concept to grasp that now these days microsoft is teaching people all the tricks to hack and not be caught... and it even mentions in a preview of their course that these are the sort of thing that will get the FBI watching you and raiding your house.

Hacking...
A quest for knowledge and dominance over a cyber territory.

There is also alot of free place that you can actually go to learn to hack and learn basic to advance hacker scripting and SQL injections.

Hack This Site is a brilliant place.
The FBI wants to shut it down, but they cannot.
It's named as a breeding ground for hackers and anarchists.

They have a help forum and a really nice friendly staff list. They have actual tests that teach you to hack and advance level by level.
They have real life scenario's and hacker wars every now and then, when you will be up against another top hacker, defending a virtual system... and trying to hack into the opponents.

If you get stuck along the way, they actually have guides, that do not feed you the answers, but give you enough information to work it out on your own without being spoon fed.

so visit the site and give it ago, they have many many more features that i didnt tell you about, so go see it for your self.

I have been to that site, but if you are just even a little bit into hacking you wanna get "Uplink" it's a simulation game that is all about hacking..

You start off registering an account at a place called Uplink. Uplink is a giant network that basically employs hackers to do jobs for Clients (companies and such). You are an uplink agent.

You start up doing simple things like deleteing or copying information, then move on to slightly harder things like creating a person or a degree. Later on in the game you can even hack banks and transfer the funds directly to your account.

They teach you everything from the word go so you shouldn't really have much of a problem, however a fair bit of common sense and a bit of computer knowledge is required, but not much.

It is set in the year of 2010 and it is decently old, so the technology and all the is fairly advanced.

The game is VERY realistic and there is almost no reason why it could not be real life.

And mark i should probably show you the game i think you would enjoy it.
