So I went through a few pages on the Hacking forum, and I notice that most things related to hacking is asking for a general question in hacking. And I haven't seen anything really, about the basics what you would need to learn first. Only thing I read is from little kids all like " I want to learn how to hax teach me yo leet skillz" or something idiotic like that. And I hear that you need to start with basic programming concepts, I think. So what is a basic programming concept? What did you guys start off doing, and evolve into getting to where you are at now, in this whole hacking deal.

I personally started out with QBASIC when i was about 7 ... I'd fuck with that for another 2 years, then began learning HTML, .... few years later I took up Batch... then I got into xbe (xbox shit) ... then I started C++/C#... and now I'm working on getting PHP down.

but I'd suggest learning PHP first... has a lot of concepts you dont get in other easier languages...

and as for "basic programming concepts" ... ... Google it.

We've posted this shit like a million times, but whatev....

If you're into web hacking, learn how websites work. Start by making your own. Learn html. Then if you want to, learn php as it's a simple way of learning concepts taught in much more complicated languages. If you want to get into real programming learn C++. You can also start off with something easier like perl or python.

does anyone know a good beiginer programming program for a mac not really hacking but more like games

AppleScript ?

Fuck applescript. It's useless. Learn C++. Learn pointers, arrays, structures, functions, and classes. Make sure you learn procedural programming before before you learn OOP (object oriented programing). In other words, learn how to program well with classes first, and then learn how to use classes. You can find the best tutorials at http://cprogramming.com/ and it'll be easy to find the shit I listed, it's all in a list. Learn the tutorials in order until you know everything I listed.

You'll also need a compiler to turn your code, which is basically text files with a .cpp extension, into a program. Here's a free one straight from apple for free http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/.
