Hacking is a taboo subject at this forum. If you are getting hacked we will try to help to stop it.

Ya, I doubt this thread will stay open for long, even if you are talking about doing it legaly, other people might use that info to do bad things.

You just answered your own question in a round-a-bout way. The information could be used maliciously. Therein lies your problem and also why the subject is taboo around here.

Give the FAQ the once over, it's in there.

exactly my point! if I knew hacking code and basics i could further my education about it and create a near impossible system to hack into, u kno at least from all the normal hackers tryin to steal identity and junk, and the fact that you could say you knew how to keep hackers out, that calls for some respect

While that is true, the reason that it can't be discussed here is that other people, who are not just looking for a way to protect their systems, may come across it, and gain the knowledge on how to hack someones system.

As bailey said, you can check out a book store for books on the subject, or try google. I'm sure you can find a multitude of websites out there that will provide you with the information.

start reading books about computer security, network security, etc. the hacking exposed books are good reading, also you can find war games through google.
