Hi guys,
I'm new to this site and to be honest I don't know a crap about hacking. I am
really good at cracking porn sites and decrypting though. I would like to learn exploiting, hacking and stuff but don't know where to start or what programs to use. Any advice would be really appriciated. Thanks.

Hacking isn't about just opening a program and clicking a button, anyone can do that. However, almost every hacker is a little bit of a script kiddie, whether they use someone else's program to code theirs, or someone elses web browser, or operating system, so don't think otherwise. However, there is a fine line between a hacker and a script kiddie. Generally, a hacker knows what he's doing and how he's doing it, a script kiddie knows what he wants and does whatever he can to achieve his goal. The main thing is that a hacker often has a higher level of maturity and understanding. Hacking is almost like a personality; it's not for everyone, just a select few.

Just know that the trail of learning to hack will be long and hard, so set specific goals to help you reach the end of it.

Chin,
Check out some of the old threads and see what simulates you.

I suggest you go and read some old threads to see what stimulates you, contrary to what DNR suggested. :P

one more thing Chin (before gogeta reads my mind again),

Consider your life path, where do you want to be in five, ten years?
Do you want to have a career in IT/CIS? Then you'll have to leave the petty stuff like cracking porn sites. If you want to do this as a hobby, you'll never achieve the next level.
If you want to be a professional, then you'll need to act like one, and plan on getting a cert or degree.

Hi, chin.

If you want to be a hacker, you'll need to learn a few languages to program your own toolz.
Otherwise, do what piques your interest.
Crack different sites in different ways. You'll get a feel for how it all works, although you won't understand the bare bones of it.
If you feel the urge to understand the why's and how's of it all, then delve deeper.

The best advice I can give you:
What you want is about security. Leaks, flaws, exploits.
If you can crack them, fine.
If you can hack them, chapeau.

Can you describe us how you crack them...? I mean, is it just by using a simple program to bruteforce or with something you did?
