yet another techie...

hi everyone,

I'm a new to hacking... I'm into development of embedded systems... I've designed a wireless hand held device to detect wireless networks (Wifi, Wimax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc) upon request... can this be of any use in wireless hacking... this tool was actually designed for diagnostics, service purposes... nothing sinister... and hoping to make the design open source... are there any H/w hacking tools available in the market...

Also i pursue applied mathematics as a passion, cryptography being my area of interest/expertise. what good can I make out of myself if i learn to use hacking... can i become a serious hacker as seen in the movies... how can i make use of my mathematical skills in hacking...

can i become a security consutant/expert...

Please advice...

Only if you manage to hack the Gibson.

If cryptography is your area of expertise, why are you asking if mathematics can be used for hacking?

Lincoln you are such a funny guy... I need to know if i could become an ethical hacker myself... what should i do... how do i proceed further...

i believe cryptography evolved from Mathematics... also cryptography is the heart of network security... isn't it so... i'd like to know if i could learn hacking so that i could be able to implement my crypt algorithms to secure the network...

.can i become a serious hacker as seen in the movies..

Which movies do you mean? If you know "the broken" you surely know uber-hacker Ramzi. I think you're on a good way to be one day as leet as he is......

That FAQ entry was created with this type of question in mind.

I hope you realise that pretty much every movie that features hacking (e.g. Live Free or Die hard, Hackers, The Net, Swordfish, etc) are, shall we say, not representative of reality. There are very few exceptions to this. So no, you cant be a hacker like in the movies, because hackers like in the movies dont exist.

i needed to become a hacker for fun... which can also be profession may be in future...

I do agree... but i mentioned that to make my point to become a professional hacker... how should i proceed...

[reeth]

how should i proceed...

there are a couple of good movies, from which you can learn a lot of things about hackers and to be l33t
Matrix, Hackers 1-3

go down to the basics!
learn the rules!
try harder!
