On a side note, before you start, make sure your internet connection has some sort
of protection, either through a
proxy or a VPN. DO NOT TAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OTHER ANONYMOUS MEMBERS, EVEN
OPS.
They could be trying to hook you up with a VPN-service that is cooperating with the
feds.
Do your own research on your VPN, Privacy policy, Terms of Agreement etc. NOBODY IS
GOING TO JAIL FOR YOU.
After that, pay with anonymous payment methods, again, do your own research on
those methods too.
[PS: Do NOT perform DDoS attacks while on VPN. They may protect your data from the
destination, but don't go as far
as trusting them when you're sending endless packets over their servers. Needless
to say, your safety is not of any
concern to me so take care of yourself first.]
----------
OS Picking
----------
For hacking specifically, it is recommended to use open source Operating Systems
(OSes) such as Linux distributions
that have root (Administrator) privileges in order to get the most out of the tools
you use. Let me give you some
ordered examples:
Despite what other anons and the internet is saying, Kali isn't useful to you
unless you have your own server to work on.
The OS is broken and insecure, and is built for security pentesters.
Kali will provide very poor security unless you know what you're doing.
--------------
Wireless Cards
--------------
In case you do as I suggested above, and get yourself a Virtual Machine (VM) with
either of the three recommended
distributions, you will need a USB Wireless Network Adapter in order to be able to
execute wireless attacks from it.
This is needed because a Virtual Machine cannot share a single wireless card with
the host machine. For the sake of
convenience, price, accuracy, packet injection and sniffing capabilities, I
strongly recommend a very widely used
card called the Alfa AWUS-036NHA with the AR9271 chipset, which can be found by
following the link directly below:

ar9271-chipset.html
---------
Anonymity
---------
There is a constant presence of fear in everyone's mind that our information is
being monitored 24/7/365 by people
behind monitors all day long, searching for private data and invading your personal
life. Well, this conspiracy is
something experienced by those who have something to hide from the authorities,
whether it is illegal or possibly
embarrassing.
Either way, there is one thing you must know � you will never be able to fully
protect yourself while
browsing on the internet. However, there are several tools and techniques you may
embed in order to get as close as
possible to being anonymous online. True anonymity lies in several layers of data
transfer, which is difficult for
an individual to achieve without knowledge of 3rd-party software that allows such
possibilities.
Remember, there's no magical tool that let's you be 100% anonymous online.
You will NEVER be 100% anonymous in a system that is designed to be traceable.
Let's get straight to the point. The following techniques will help to achieve a
high anonymity level:
� VPN � stands for Virtual Private Network and is a server that you connect through
before you reach anything online.
From a security point of view, it is the safest and most anonymous tool to
use, as long as you trust the VPN
provider.
� Proxy � This is another possible way to achieve good anonymity, but is often slow
and unreliable for torrenting or
downloading large files. Proxy websites can be found anywhere online, but
preferably use proxy servers that
need configuration of the browser settings, since that will likely cause
fewer javascript and HTML issues.
----------------
DoS & DDoS Tools (don't use them unless instructed)
----------------
HOWEVER: if anybody tells you to use tools such as LOIC, XOIX, HOIC or any other
similar tools, do not listen to them
since they obviously are not aware of the incredibly high risks of getting
caught when using them. Tools that
end in OIC are easily traced to your IP address and expect to get in
trouble if you use them. Besides, using
them on your own will cause no damage to public IPs due to the severe
limitations. So, end point, forget it!
===================================================================================
===================================
TOR's Hammer (works on systems that have Python installed.)
� Note: this tool allows the use of the TOR browser to prevent getting caught. I
recommend and, in some ways, insist
that you do so, because nobody other than you is liable for the damage you will
cause from using this tool.
How to Set Up:
0) Download it first, duh! http://sourceforge.net/projects/torshammer
1) Download python. Note: Mac users have it preinstalled
2) Place the torshammer folder (unpackaged) on your Desktop
3) In the torshammer folder there will be a file called 'torshammer.py' that you
will need to open with a text editor
4) Inside the file, use the Find & Replace function to replace the three
occurrences of '9050' with '9150' and save
5) Open CMD or Terminal and type (without quotes) "cd Desktop" and then "cd
torshammer"
6) Now open the TOR browser and wait for your new identity. To ensure it works,
visit at least 2 >DIFFERENT< websites
7) In your CMD / Terminal type (without quotes) "./torshammer.py -t example.com -r
300 -T"
To understand the syntax of the command, 'cd' to the torshammer folder and type
(without quotes) "./torshammer.py"
Slowloris
One of my favorite tools that I used when I started DoSing.
IPV4 version: http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/slowloris.pl
IPV6 version: http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/slowloris6.pl
To download, simply copy the text to a file and save it as slowloris.pl and/or
slowloris6.pl respectively.
You will need perl in order to run Slowloris, tutorials of which can be found
online.
Ufonet
>>> https://github.com/epsylon/ufonet
I will not explain here how to set this up, since you have Google at your disposal.
MDK3
This is preinstalled on Kali Linux and it basically allows to deauthenticate any
Wi-Fi routers in range by overloading
them with empty packets until they can no longer operate, thus taking them down
locally on your own (DoS).

Password Cracking Tools
-----------------------
Ophcrack
Read info >>> http://blog.codinghorror.com/rainbow-hash-cracking
Download >>> http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net
L0phtCrack
It is an alternative to Ophcrack and is used to crack Windows passwords from
hashes.
http://www.l0phtcrack.com/download.html
Reaver
This is specifically a WPA(&2) Wi-Fi cracking tool, supporting routers with WPS
(Wireless Protected Setup) enabled
It is preinstalled on Kali Linux, and hopefully on the other hacking Linux
distributions too. It does NOT work
on Windows, in fact Windows is the least reliable OS for hacking, so I regard it as
a skiddie OS.
Aircrack-ng
Cracks WPE & WPA; it analyzes wireless encrypted packets and then tries to crack
passwords via its cracking algorithm.
http://www.aircrack-ng.org/install.html
Hydra
This uses brute force and dictionary attacks to crack any password that is on a
specific wordlist. It is well built
and is very configurable, giving you a wide range of options to pick from, and
limits to set. Here's a great tutorial:
http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-like-pro-crack-online-passwords-with-
tamper-data-thc-hydra-0155374
Hashcat
Uses your GPU to crack hashes, very strong.
http://hashcat.net/hashcat/
--------------------------------
Man In The Middle (MITM) Attacks
--------------------------------
Note: enable routing first, by typing in terminal (without quotes) "echo 1 >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
================================
Wireshark
Extremely configurable and versatile, and has close to no limitations as to
functionality.
Kali Linux has it preinstalled. For Windows and Mac, download it here:
https://www.wireshark.org/download.html
Ettercap
As usual, it is preinstalled on Kali Linux. It performs marvellously, and supports
'driftnet' (for image capturing).

ALL IN ALL

Conclusion: You are prepared for anything if you are able to apprehend the work
that lies ahead, but let me tell you,
no one is going to endlessly spoon-feed you the information and
knowledge, because all you will learn is
how to copy from someone else. I think the old saying "practice makes
perfect" fits this pretty damn well
from my point of view, and I'm not saying that you can't ask anything,
but if you want to learn fast, do
it the hard way and look it up yourself, that's all!
If you read the whole lot, that should get you started, and remember to have fun!
Good luck :D
