Hello Just wondering if you knew of a good IRC channel (and server) that you'd recommend I go to for hacking advise. I am hoping to one day become a white-hat hacker. And I want to learn as much about hacking as possible. Yes, I know this is a very broad subject... but that doesn't change that I want to learn as much of it as I can! So far I am 10 months through a 24 month networking course (where at the end of it I will probably sit for my CCNA and MCSE). I thought that that would be as good a place as any to start. And I have been reading programming books (borrowed about 5 programming text-books, around half for Java and the other 'half' for C++). So hopefully by the end of the next 14 months (hopefully much sooner) I will be an apt programmer and 'networker'. I think that that will be the best way to start off as a pen-tester &/or white-hat hacker. Though in the meantime, I am interested in finding an IRC channel where I can 'chat' to white-hat (and black-hat?) hackers, and learn as much of them as I can! I will also try and learn as much as I can from this mailing list. Thanks in advance for any advice/IRC channels given, Chip Panarchy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Top 5 Common Mistakes in Securing Web Applications Get 45 Min Video and PPT Slides www.cenzic.com/landing/securityfocus/hackinar ------------------------------------------------------------------------
