Why This Document?

-

-A lot of hackers consider Eric S. Raymond's original How to Become A Hacker to be definitive, for good reason. -It explains the "hacker philosophy", some key things at which one should be good, and is a good compass that points to What to Learn Next. -I myself stumbled upon the document maybe a decade or so ago, when I was a small impressionable child, and know half of what I do because of where it pointed me. -I think, however, that How to Become A Hacker is a bit dated, so I'm writing this to be a nice complementary piece for those to read after they read esr's original. -

Basic Hacking Skills

-

1. Learn how to program

-

-Python is an okay first language as long as you don't take it too seriously. -As said by smarter people than me, Python is a glue language. -It's slow and a bit basic, but its errors are often easy to solve, so do as much as you can with Python and Python libraries, and do the rest in faster languages. -

-

-Never touch Java. -Not even once. -While at one point it was promising, it's become a monstrous beast and it must be slain through attrition. -

-

-When you are good at programming you will think outside of programming languages. -Programming languages are tools for a job. -Some are better suited to some tasks than others. -For example, I would use C as a language for building utilities for myself, as I want them to be blisteringly fast and I know that's easier to do in C than Python. -I've written utilities in Python to know how I want them to behave, and then perfected them by rewriting them in C. -This being said, when learning a language for the first time, master it, then move on. -

-

2. Get one of the open-source Unixes and learn to use and run it.

-

-Don't try to program on Microsoft Windows. -Seriously. -This is the one mistake almost all beginners make; they'll install fifty different tools onto their MS Windows system in order to make a simple program that doesn't really work because their tutorial only works for UNIX. -Just install a Free UNIX-clone ("clone" in this context is not a bad thing; most Free UNIX-clones are much more practical in this world than the original) and learn how to work in it. -In fact, you may want to learn shell before anything else. -When you know how to -

    -
  1. Make a directory,
    2. -
  2. Make an empty file within that directory,
    3. -
  3. Overwrite the file with exactly 500B of random data,
    4. -
  4. Mark the file as executable,
    5. -
  5. Print the file to the terminal as readable, hexadecimal data,
    6. -
  6. And remove the directory and the file,
    7. -
-you will know enough to start on your journey into hacking. -

-

-BSDs are awesome and I use a BSD myself, but perhaps start with Linux as there's a much bigger community to help you there. -There are no longer any good non-UNIX operating systems. -The importance of choosing a Free operating system cannot be understated. -It's hard to learn from your OS's code when your OS's code is only readable by those within the corporation that made the OS. -

-

-Don't use Ubuntu as it suffers from many of the flaws that drive non-hacker Windows users to Linux-based systems. -Instead, try Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu but without the more annoying issues. -

-

3. Learn how to use the World Wide Web and write HTML.

-

-View the source code of the original How to Become A Hacker and then read the source code to this webpage. -

-

4. If you don't have functional English, learn it.

-

-It's unfortunate that English has become the lingua franca of the Internet. -But it's true, it has, and it's more or less required learning if you want to become a hacker. -

-

5. Learn to use a search engine.

-

-This is my own tip. -This is the most important thing on this page. -How to accomplish this is an exercise left to the reader. -
