Like I said, alot of the time the ISP will preach about what they do to prevent cyber-crime(s), and the like, but unless it's a fairly small and local ISP i don't think they really care. I do quite a...

Your ISP keeps a list of everything that your IP address downloads.

My outlook on the major ISP's warning their customers about not utilizing "hacking" tools is that it's all show. They're doing it to look good to both the general populace and the government. I could...

This thread has grown quite considerably since last I posted in it. The reason that you most commonly associate's "Hackers" with viruses, malware, fraud and other general terms of malcontent is that...

Then what do you not know how to do? You have your degree, you've written programs, you have a design. Start coding?

@technogeek
I'm not going to give you step-by-step instructions on how to hack somebody, this is ONLY an informational thread, and if it turns into anything other than that, I will quit posting in...

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I've never actually went in search for a person's IP, unless they had done something to me first, which I then used varying "third party" tools to find their IP. When...

Isn't that exactly the same question you asked earlier? I answered on page 2. People usually find it easiest to use a third party tool (mirc, ventrilo, game servers, ect.) but there are other ways.

There are still other companies, and I'm sure IBM won't give in completely, they are just saying it's a hopeless situation.

See, that's an area I'm not very familiar with. I don't know a whole lot about how secure most browsers are, but I prefer firefox just as a personal preference.
Also, I read an interesting article...

There are things called keyloggers that you can get from just visiting a website. They record every keystroke that you make on your computer, and then upload a text file to the original creator, or...

Did you have to split archive them for every email? If not, i stand corrected.

Yes, but most emails have a limit per email, usually between 1 and 10 meg's. Could you imagine split archiving a large file, say 100 mb? I'm serious, try zymic.

you can use MySQL db's, ftp, ect
it's all free

Well, if someone is determined enough, they don't need to be a true hacker at all. Google takes care of most of their problems, if they know what to search for. md5 was a good hash a while back, but...

Eh, I've found it more common through "IRC Bots" They seem harmless enough, but they really have a more sinister purpose.

Both. There is special software designed to do just that, and in essence here is what it does. It sends a lot of packets, the "thing" that contains data, really fast. Most web-servers that are for...

More than likely the college "servers" had a VNC connection open, or something as equally retarded, like someone posted above, 90% of hacking is taking advantage of retarded system configs, or...
