IMO this is not the forum for this question
This is a support forum for the Ubuntu community

@Cakardic, it depends what you mean by hacking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_definition_controversy#Hacker_definition_co ntroversy). If you define a hacker as "someone who loves to program or who enjoys playful cleverness, or a combination of the two" as described in this wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_%28programmer_subculture%29), then if you describe more clearly what you want to achieve, I am sure people will be able to help.

But if by hacking you mean maliciously subverting computer security, be aware that this is not supported here. Please see the forum Code of Conduct (http://ubuntuforums.org/misc.php?do=showrules).

With the title of this thread it's safe to say you are stepping into dangerous territory
Here"s a little info for you:
Barret Brown is facing 100 years for his involvement in the Stratfor hack
Jeremy Hammond is facing life in prison for his involvement in the same hack
Mercedes Haefer is facing 15 years for participating in a DDOS attack
and the list goes on

Attacking someone else's computer system is not only illegal, and it will not only eventually land you in jail (courts throw the book at crackers), but you'll probably fall in with a mob of narcissists who will turn on you if you ever try to escape them. You'll be trapped until you get caught for your crime and put in jail. When in jail, you'll never even SEE a computer. After you get out of jail, you'll never be allowed to use the internet or own a smartphone.

Don't even think about learning to attack other people's computers. It's not worth ruining your life over.

In the real world, Neo doesn't meet Morphius.

He meets Bubba.
