HOW to GET STARTED:
As I explained above, I can't link you a YouTube video or a PDF file with the tutorial on how to hack a Facebook account. Or how to DDoS your friend and so on. What I can give you is some guidance on where to look in order to gain your knowledge.
First things first, you HAVE to READ A LOT OF ARTICLES. (Notice it's in caps). Because it is crucial. Reading articles DAILY on everything related to hacking and computers in general, will let you on the path to become a good hacker very fast. Unlike all those newbie hackers asking several questions on hacking forums on “how do I hack?” “Where can I find hacking programs?” and many more stupid questions. So just read, try it out, and combine it with your own knowledge.
TYPES of HACKERS:
Yes, there are “types” of hackers. According to white-hat hackers, the term “hackers” is often misunderstood in the community. People think hackers are the ones who take down big companies, hack into systems, DDoSing, installing malware on your computer. When in reality, all these are crackers. Crackers are the ones who actually hack into things with evil intentions. So there are 3 types of hackers.
White-hat hackers: They are the “good guys”. They get permission from a company to hack into their system and look for loopholes that black-hat hackers can use to their advantage. They create free software to help others out, and they usually have the good intentions with hacking.
Grey-hat hackers: They are basically a mixture of black-hat and white-hat. They can help you out, but probably for illegal reasons, or for money or similar. Their intentions are often a mixture. They can hack into systems without permission (illegal) and then tell the owner of the company what is wrong with their system. So they're a mix pretty much.
Black-hat hackers: Stay away from black-hat. They have no sympathy whatsoever. They are willing to do the worst things with hacking. Hack governments and leak sensitive information. Hack into systems and create a backdoor so they can access it at all times. Their intentions are always for evil purposes. So be aware for these types of hackers. Because you won't see them coming.
REQUIREMENTS to BECOME a HACKER:
Yup. There are requirements. First thing first. You need reasonable good computer to hack. At least i5 processor, 8GB RAM. A LOT of HDD.
Then you need to know a lot about computers and how they work will always be a benefit. As long as you know a little about PC's its fine.
Then remember to become a hacker, you need to be smart. Would you download a file from an untrusted website on your dad's computer? No, then don't do it on your hacking computer. Know how to protect yourself from malicious programs in general. You need to have a lot of time, put in effort, and have PATIENCE. YOU DON'T BECOME A HACKER OVERNIGHT!
It is a MUST to learn at least 1-2 programming language. Make sure you pick the right one suited for you. If you don't know how to program, you won't understand how certain programs and hacking methods work etc. Programming will give you an understanding, and the ability to create YOUR OWN software AND give you the “power” to become a better hacker. You can write your own exploits (Ruby), write your own scripts and so on.
DOWNLOADING:
I want to point this topic out again because it is so dangerous. If you accidentally download malicious malware or have no clue that a hacker successfully planted a RAT or a keylogger on your computer, you are screwed. Know what you are downloading. Make sure there is HTTPS in the URL. The “S” means the website is encrypted. DON'T download from untrusted sources. And there is NO such thing as a “hacker pack” or anything like that. If someone tries to sell or just give you a “hacker pack”, DON'T download it. There is most likely a Trojan or a virus in it.
DO's and DON'T's:
DON'T be that newbie guy on hacking forums that asks stupid questions. Don't download possible malware. Learn some programming language. Make sure you are ANONYMOUS. The most powerful tool a hacker can have, is his anonymity. It gives him the ability to hack people or companies without them seeing you coming.
Know the consequences of what you are doing. Know the consequences of a successful attack, and a failed one. UNDERSTAND what you are doing, otherwise you can't develop your methods and techniques, and you can't add knowledge to your brain.
ANONYMITY:
Now to my favorite section. Anonymity is the most important thing as a hacker. If you don't have this 100% in place, you will then get a new room called a jail cell. And you most likely won't get out depending on what you did.
There are a lot of ways to stay hidden on the Internet. Which also makes it a tad difficult because it will then be easier to make ONE mistake. Use TOR. TOR is an anonymous web browser that gives you an IP address and lets you surf the web anonymously. Tor was used by the military until hackers got their hands on it. DON'T access your emails or any real identity stuff through TOR. The purpose of using this browser is to stay anonymous, so why access your real identity through it? TOR is not SUPER SAFE. It doesn't provide end-to-end encryption, which means anyone with the know how to perform a man in the middle attack, can see what data is being transferred, which puts you in danger. He can't see where it's coming from or where it's going though. But still, he has a possibility to find out with enough knowledge.
I2P is safer than TOR. It provides end-to-end encryption and its security basically was developed from where TOR left off. Tails lets you surf the internet COMPLETELY anonymously. It leaves no trails on your computer, and it uses TOR to access the internet. Create an anonymous email and use STRONG passwords. And ALWAYS keep backup files of your stuff, just in case.
Buying things with your anonymous ID is fine, as long as you do it ANONYMOUSLY. To do this, Bitcoin is your friend. But is quite complicated, because to purchase bitcoins you need to do it anonymously, and NOT with your real credit card obviously. I won't cover this part of how to purchase stuff anonymously.
VPN & PROXIES
A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. It creates a tunnel from your computer to the internet, and lets you surf the internet anonymously. The tunnel is encrypted so it's safe for any intruders. Use VPN as it is up to date and is the most used way to stay hidden. A proxy is a server that is its own tunnel sort of speak. It is very similar to a VPN but proxies are out of date now, and I doubt you will find any useful and working proxy server today. If you do, it most likely won't provide encryption and isn't safe to use. So use a VPN.
LINKS and USEFUL SOURCES:
Because I am generous today, and want you to become a good hacker as fast as possible, I will provide you some good links that you can use to get started. Trust me, it will safe you A LOT of re-search, so take them to use!
Hackforums.net (Forum to read and ask questions)
Evilzone.org (Forum to read and ask questions)
Khanacademy.org (A coding academy)
Codeacademy.com (selfexplanatory)
CSOOnline.com (Hacking news)
Filehippo.com (Good download site)

Wonderhowto.com (BEST place to learn and provide your knowledge)
SOME EXPRESSIONS:
DDoS means Distributed Denial of Service Attack.
You send a ton of packets to a server until it can't process all those packets, leaving it no choice but to crash, or at least slow down A LOT.
A RAT means; Remote Administration Tool OR Remote Administration Trojan. A RAT is very powerful for a hacker, and super vulnerable to the victim. A RAT can give the hacker so many possibilities to hurt the victim. Such as; Screenshot capture, monitor keystrokes, download/modify/delete files, record with webcam, send pop-up messages, kill the task manager, download virus and malware without the user knowing, and so much more.
A Keylogger is a little bit similar to a RAT. Only it doesn't provide many options, it can only monitor every single keystroke and send it to the email that the hacker told it to. And then the hacker can access the victim's personal accounts and possibly steal his/her identity.
You can learn a lot more expressions by keep reading about hacking.
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES:
To give you an overview of some programming languages here below, I have listed a brief description of what they are, and can do.
SQL is Structured Query Language and is used to modify databases. If you want to learn how to pull valuable information from databases, then learn SQL.
Ruby is an exploitation language, and is the go-to language if you want to write your own exploits. It is very useful, so don't hesitate.
HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language and is a web application language. Anything web related HTML is where you should start. It is also used for Phishing attacks.
PERL is the best text manipulation language. You can implement it in several programming languages, and is definitely useful.
Python is close to a must language to learn as a lot of hacking scripts are scripted in python. And even just learning the basics can benefit you so much.
C/C++ is probably the most advanced language to learn. It's hardcore and you shouldn't start out with this as it is NOT for beginners. Open up your control panel and you see all those programs that has “C++“ next to it? Exactly, that's what they are coded in, and if you delete those programs, say goodbye to your computer.
Java another web application language which is useful to learn if you are in that area of hacking or just programming in general. I2P is scripted in Java so to run I2P you need Java installed.
PHP is also quite useful for web applications as it can be implemented in web languages. I'm not quite sure what it does but you can read an article on it.
To SUM IT UP:
Remember, hacking is skill, knowledge, and persistence. No tutorial on it. You need to know a ton of shit at the same time. Stay anonymous and don't get in jail. Hackers are supposed to help each other, so share your knowledge as it will benefit you both. Don't need to tell each other exactly how you do this and that, but an overview is fine.
Before you start this “journey”, sit down and ask yourself, “What do I want to accomplish as a hacker?” decide what direction you want to go in. Set some ground rules for yourself, and possibly your partner if you have one, and work as a team. Remember that everything you need to know is ON THE INTERNET. Not in some silly article on a hack forum. (Unless you're lucky and find your answer). But to find your answer, use GOOGLE as it is a very popular search engine, and gets millions of search query's daily, and is a fantastic source to find information. Anything you need to know is on the internet. And your keyboard is your tool to achieve that mission.
I spent a lot of time making this article, so feel free to ask questions if you need to, and remember to stay anonymous, and knowledge is power. Google is your key to your information.
