3 NECESSARY THINGS TO BECOME AN EXPERT HACKER

HEY FRIENDS, BEING ON ROAD OF BORN HACKER, I WISH TO SHARE FEW OF MY THOUGHTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO BECOME  EXPERT HACKER. HACKING IS ALWAYS A FUN, ITS SOMETHING LIKE PLAYING PRANKS USING YOUR BRAIN. MOST OF US ALWAYS THINK THAT HACKING IS RELATED TO CRACKING SOMEONE'S E-MAIL OR FACEBOOK AND THEN EMBARRASSING THE VICTIM BY DOING CHILDISH PRANKS WITH HIS E-MAIL OR FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS. BUT IF I SHARE THE TRUTH, ITS ABSOLUTELY NOT AT ALL WHAT WE CALL WORD HACKING. I AM NOT HERE REDEFINING THAT WORD HACKING BUT ITS NECESSARY FOR NEWBIES/IGNORANTS TO KNOW THAT WHAT ACTUALLY IS HACKING? 

3 THINGS TO BECOME EXPERT HACKER

AND BEFORE TELLING NEWBIES/IGNORANTS HAT HACKING ACTUALLY IS? I WANT TO SHARE WHAT COMES IN CATEGORY OF NEWBIES/IGNORANTS. BELOW ARE SOME POINTS WHICH EXPLAINS LOT ABOUT NEWBIES/IGNORANTS :

1. MEDIA/NEWS :

THEY ALWAYS MANIPULATE THE WORD HACKING AND ALWAYS PORTRAY IT AS BAD THING. JUST FOR MAKING THEIR NEWS SPICY THEY PORTRAY THE COMPLETE HACKERS COMMUNITY AS CRIMINALS.

2. PARENTS/ELDERS :

 (SPECIALLY RELATIVES WHO LOVES TO GIVES ADVICES) : I KEEP THEM IN IGNORANTS LIST BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD HANDS ON HACKING AND WHAT THEY LISTEN FROM MEDIA/NEWS, THEY IMPOSE ON THEIR CHILDREN AND FORCE THEIR CHILDREN TO QUIT HACKING.

3. NEW COMERS/NEWBIES IN HACKING :

MOST PEOPLES ARE ATTRACTED TOWARD HACKING FOR ONE THE FOLLOWING REASONS. FIRST TO PLAY PRANKS WITH THEIR FRIENDS BY HACKING THEIR EMAILS OR FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS. SECOND, THE PERSONS WHO WANT TO TAKE REVENGE AND FEW TIMES WANNA HACK GIRLFRIENDS ACCOUNT.
NOW WHAT ACTUALLY IS HACKING? AHH.. YOU MIGHT HAVE READ THAT IN SEVERAL BOOKS OR ONLINE. ACTUALLY IT VARIES FROM PORTAL TO PORTAL, BOOK TO BOOK ETC. ACCORDING TO ME :

HACKING IS ART OF EXPLORING THE HIDDEN THINGS THAT ARE BEING HIDDEN FROM GENERAL USAGE AND FINDING LOOP HOLES IN THE SECURITY AND USE THEM TO BENEFIT THE OYHERS.

FEW DAYS BACK I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME ARTICLE ON TIMES OF INDIA, AND I WAS REALLY SHOCKED BY SEEING THEIR DEFINITION OF HACKING AND MORE SHOCKING WAS THEY HAVE GIVEN REFERENCES OF WIKIPEDIA, SO I BROWSED WIKIPEDIA AND WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED BY SEEING THEIR DEFINITION. I AM SURE YOU ALL FEEL THE SAME:

"HACKING IS UNAUTHORIZED USE OF COMPUTER AND NETWORK RESOURCES. (THE TERM "HACKER" ORIGINALLY MEANT A VERY GIFTED PROGRAMMER. IN RECENT YEARS THOUGH, WITH EASIER ACCESS TO MULTIPLE SYSTEMS, IT NOW HAS NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS.)"

I HOPE NOW YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHY I SAID FIRST LEARN ABOUT IGNORANTS AND NEWBIES. THEY COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE SECURITY ASPECT BEFORE DEFINING ABOVE DEFINITION. FOR EVERY GOOD THERE IS BAD AND WHAT I THINKS PEOPLE ENJOYS BAD STUFF.

NOW LETS DISCUSS WHAT ARE 3 NECESSARY THINGS TO BECOME AN EXPERT HACKER. WE ALL KNOW MAN IS A BORN HACKER. HE KEEPS ON EXPLORING NEW THINGS AND NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS SMARTLY AND THIS CURIOSITY ENDS WITH HIS LIFE.

BUT DO YOU REALLY THINK ALL PERSONS ARE THAT MUCH SMART. IF YOU ASK ME THEN ITS YES. ITS THE SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM WHICH MAKES THEM STAGNANT. IS YOU LIFE BECOME STAGNANT OR POISED AT SOME POINT. IF YES, THEN I AM YOUR MOTIVATION. BELOW ARE THE 3 NECESSARY POINTS WHICH I FEEL ARE THE NECESSITIES TO BECOME AN EXPERT HACKER:

1.  DIFFERENT MIND I.E.THINKING STUFF IN DIFFERENT MANNERS (THINK JARA HATKE ) : 

THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS OF DOING THINGS. SAY I WANT TO SEND A EMAIL, SOME PEOPLE WILL USE GMAIL TO SEND MAIL, SOME WILL USE YAHOO AND SOME LIKE US(HACKERS) WILL USE TELNET OR SELF SET UP MAILERS.

2. CURIOSITY ( KUCH NAYA SEEKHNE KA KEEDA) :

 YOU MUST BE CURIOUS IN HOW THINGS WORK RATHER ON I HAVE TO USE THIS. FOR EXAMPLE: YOU WANT TO SEND EMAIL, SO YOU MUST BE CURIOUS IN WHAT IS GOING INSIDE LIKE HOW MAIL IS SENT, WHAT PROCESS IS GOING IN BACKGROUND. THE DAY YOU GET THIS ABILITY NONE CAN STOP YOU IN BECOMING A GREAT HACKER.

3. LEARNING IS THE KEY : 

THE DAY YOU STOP DOING THIS YOU WILL AGAIN BECOME A NOOB OR NOVICE. CONTINUOUS LEARNING IS THE KEY. NEVER LIMIT YOUR SCOPE OF LEARNING THINGS AND LANGUAGES, MORE YOU LEARN MORE DIFFERENTLY YOU CAN THINK, MORE YOU DISCOVER AND MORE YOU ENJOY.
THAT'S ALL FROM MY END FOR TODAY. WE ALL KNOW WE ARE BORN HACKERS BUT WE ARE LOST IN SOMEWHERE MIDDLE. MAY BE I CAN ACT AS TORCH FOR YOU TO SHOW YOU CORRECT PATH.

REGARDS,
