The playroll is not the word, the proper word for me or to anyone to give enfase to one of the most interesting topics of the world of phones (iphones) plus the hyperlinked Black-Hats world, aka (also known as) crackers but, beeing so interesting and a very curious topic/subject indeed, i will give my knowledge, information and opinion about this subject, about this matter, about this new recent or not so recent for others opinion events.

Apple is, and perhaps if they really are, trying to win this fight, but it is so pointless that it is so funny to see the apple company without the strenght to even fight back, specially today when and where we depend of media/comunication tools like tv, computers (with modems), celular phones/phones/iphones.

The hackers (Crackers or Black-Hats) can not be stoped because there are so many vulnerabilities that one must not be too much inteligent to use/explore the ones already discovered or even to find new ones, to discover or to exploit new ones, it is so easy and easy and easy that there are even ebooks on the internet explaning how to break the security of any phone and then to explore it to the fullest.

One can bring a phone company down, or any company of any business down, just with the phone lines, just with the phones technology, and just by reading a ebook.

Hey.. I am a student and very much interested in Hacking, say ethical hacking...Can u give me any link that is good place for beginners or any book. I just know a little programming as of now.Is phone hacking is anyway different from computer hacking?
Is it true that you need to be a coding God to be a hacker?
Thanks in advance..

You do not need to know a lot about programming to be a hacker, you just need to have some qualities, namely the ones i think it matters to have or to work "inside" yourself and other things to know too:

- It is always good to have a lot of Inteligence

- It is good to be good in software and hardware knowledge in general, learn by reading and practising

- Always learn and practise new stuff in computers (learn to use any program and to fix any computer and its accessories)

- Read a lot of good hacking articles and ebooks in the most respected websites about computers security and hacking

- Read ebooks from the hacking exposing/expose series.

- Read the ebook series: "maximum security"

- Read the ebook series: "hacking for dummies"

- Be patiente

- Be calm

- Be wise

- Be smart

- Use always the proper judgement

- Do not use your knowledge for the bad purposes


------


Explore and learn anything by yourself, alone a mean, try always to "get things done" by yourself, and you can do it just by reading a lot and search google for good websites about:


- hacking

- cracking

- white-hats

- black-hats

- computers security

- network administration, management and penetration testing of LAN's, MAN's and WAN's
(LAN - Local Area Network; MAN - Metropolitan Area Network; WAN - Wide Area Network)

- exploits and vulnerabilities of program applications (programs and tools) and operating systems (ex.:windows, linux)

- virus (main keywords to search for in a search engine: vx, vxers, virii)

The best websites



Virus knowledge and source codes (the best of them all, with more then everything you will ever need to hack and to know how virus are done and by whom exactly, it even has interviews by Mark L. to the virus writers all in there for everyone to see, it is the best website for white-hats, hackers, and potencial antivirus writers too because you need to know how to make a virus to know/learn how to create and antivirus/anticorp for the same.)

Iphone hacking is hacking, but try to understand one thing, they mean the crackers or black-hats, or even the script-kiddies, not the hackers who are the good guys, ALWAYS!

This is just to get your started in the art of hacking and virus creation knowledge to better defend yourself and who knows, to even be a good programmer in the future, we have a lack of.


Do not use this information to destroy! Use it to be a good boy!

Yeah, not only are Cell Phones vulnerable, but every form of technology has its bugs. A good Hacker will look for and take advantage of these vulnerabilities, even if it takes a very long time, vulnerabilities will always be found, nothing is perfect.
