Well if programming is something new to you! than you’ll definitely struggle. Athough we may get tools like netbus online but we can just spam the target not get data from it. There are many ways to break the security. It may be done using D-DOS attack, Pishing, social engineering, reverse social engineering, waterhole attack, trozans, eavesdroping etc.
When it comes to jamming the server of your target you may depend on the softwares, But when it comes to data hijacking //its illegal// you have to perform some big attacks, pishing and keylogging be the basics!
For web hacking on must have a good command on PHP and HTML.
Because to break a thing you must first know how its made. This will also help you to protect your website.
Begin with C. Yes C is the mother of all the programming languages. Most of the operating systems and softwares are programmed in C. So firstly learn C. This is where you are half done, Hacking is totally different to what its portayed in movies.
A formal training is must. until you are totally into it. Be selective in choosing the course.
Hacking is a step by step procedure. Start penetration testing after studying it briefly. I believe in selfstudy. The more time you give to it, the more quality it gives to you.
The aim is to protect your system, not to break someones! Thats illegal. for that another level of work is required
Thanks.
Ill be updating this soon with more info!
