Intro
Hi all. I’m a young guy from South Africa. I truly know nothing about hacking, languages or anything of the like (you probably asking why the hell I’m even on this site) but want to learn a few basics. Can anyone give me a site to check out so that I can learn.
Thanks
PS. I really admire the skills of all of you guys.
How about starting from this place only ?? I am sure….if you want to learn…..you’re going to enjoy here the most !! :)
Welcome, if you want to learn to hack, try to do the levels on this site, you will learn more and more as you go. Hope you enjoy it here:)
Welcome @jakes22, as the others have suggested you can try doing the levels on this site. If your stuck or don’t quite understand anything feel free to post or look through the forums to learn how to do things.
As for other sites you can try Hack This Site! It’s similar to this site as it has levels and forums, but with my experience I’ve found it’s harder to get help on things there.
Hope you enjoy this site and have fun :)
Hi there, welcome to HackThis!!.
Welcome to HackThis!! We all hope you enjoy this and learn as much as possible.
Play around, work hard (don’t just ask until you’re sure you have no other ideas…maybe even sleep on problems for a while) and don’t forget Google (or your other preferred search engine) is you best friend as a hacker. Also, on this site, the forums. If none of these work, ask someone around here for some clues. You will surely get them. Lots of friendly folks around.
I joined this site 1 year ago (1 and 4 months actually, i think) and came here knowing nothing but some basic programming i learned in high school. Now i’m ranked 8 on this site (although i bet i’m not even in the 20s if we take real skills and not just the levels). So if i could learn, you can too!
Have fun! (hacking really is fun)
Don’t post answers on the forums!
Search other forums before making new threads called “help” !
Hi,
So new to the term Hacking? So google about hacking and see what hacking actually means. And before starting off with the levels on this site learn basic html and understand whats source code! :)

Its good to be back! :D
Welcome jakes22, hope you will enjoy this site! Google will be your best friend throughout here. :D
To start off as basichttp://www.w3schools.com/ will give you some background on what is HTML, Javascript, SQL… http://www.codecademy.com/ is another great place to learn basic programming languages.
Finally, if you need any help, feel free to ask. We don’t bite. ;)
Have fun!!
Knowledge isn’t given, it’s grown.
