How to hack - A simple guide on a way to start hacking

[hacxx]

1- Get a copy of yellow pages or use a search engine from yellow pages

2- Collect emails on a specific area

3- Visit https://exposed.lol/ for password

4- Find related sites. For example, a teacher most likely has the same password on a Moodle site.

Problem: Password re-use.

Hacking a quick and dirty history.

Hacking was first known to happen back into the early 18th century. Newspapers (generally on sale in major cities) had a problem getting up to date and new news events for their papers.
Editors used to buy other peoples papers, take out an article, reword it or Hack it to pieces to avoid copyright, then reprint it as their own article. Hence reporters and editors became Hackers of news.
Jump forward to the 1950's and the same used to be down with programs, released from various companies, Take the program, chew it to pieces, hack out what you liked and recode it id necessary repackage is and call it your own.
Hackers these days use code like the guys in the past used news.

So, Hacxx, you now know the history of hacking, you take a yellow pages and hack out what you need. etc.

Old and useless information, but its all education.

Link is dead.
I got started hacking during the dial-up days. First mainframe was a DEC PDP-11. During those days there was a program called a war dialer --->Wiki link<--- click the link.
It served two purposes.

#1 Back then an anti-trust decision was made against AT&T for monopolizing the very lucrative long-distance telephone and local telephone services in the US in 1984.
This led to the introduction of "Ma Bell" and competing long distance services, namely Sprint and MCI.
Jackpot! The only way to access MCI and Sprint was to dial an 800 number and enter a numerical code attached to a specific account. You could set up a War Dialer to try random numbers and log the successful ones. This was essential as long distance cost a pantload back then and you needed hours of time to troll for computer modems who would pick up.

#2 So after a long days work, you would return to a hopefully long printout of either long distance account access codes, or a list of telephone numbers that had open modems. Either way your computer deserved a pat on the head. It did a good days work.

Now the fun begins. My first target was a DEC PDP-11 in Texas, (a pretty powerful mini mainframe at that moment in time). Using the old hackers adage, "If at first you don't succeed, hack, hack, hack".
I eventually gained admin access. Being the first DEC I had full access to, I spent quite a bit of time roaming about the system. I have always lived by the code don't vandalize computers purely for the sake of causing trouble. No when I was done, I left a calling card and quietly left, never to return. Had I returned, I had a good chance of being busted.

So that's the story of my first hack. I was feeling pretty proud of myself, walking around with my chest all puffed out. Having been inside many mini/mainframes since then (but long since retired, way past the statue of limitations) I think DEC built one heck of a good system. I was sorry to see them go or swallowed up by the big boys. I haven't hacked in a very long time or for that matter blown a 2600hz tone down a phone line in many decades. Captain Crunch anyone?

wags finger in Mr Dogs direction. TUT TUT.

Although back in the day of US T1 lines it wasnt unheard of for a certain set of code sent to a certain make of mainframe in a companies basement that given the right type of port sniffing a login port could go unnoticed.

Used to be a nice set of power variables accessible in BIOS on somecheap end PC's too.

So I am told

The days of the wild wild West are gone. Those were some fun times. Here's a fun bit, in 2021 I started upgrading VoIP lines from T1 to some funky set-ups in the rural Mid-West. T1 mind you. 5G phone are faster than that.
