Hacking, that sounds crazy, isn't it? In computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, or challenge.The subculture that has evolved around hackers is often referred to as the computer underground and is now a known community. While other uses of the word hacker exist that are not related to computer security, such as referring to someone with an advanced understanding of computers and computer networks, they are rarely used in mainstream context.
Classifications
Several subgroups of the computer underground with different attitudes use different terms to demarcate themselves from each other, or try to exclude some specific group with which they do not agree.
Eric S.Raymond(author of THE New Hacker's Dictionary) advocates that members of the computer underground should be called crackers. Yet, those people see themselves as hackers, Instead of a hacker/cracker dichotomy, they give more emphasis to a spectrum of different categories, such as White hat, Grey hat, Black hat and Script Kiddie.
Am I boring to you. I'm really sorry about that we will go for your cause of presence here/
Hacking is not a simple thing it needs so much dedication, intelligence and an analytic mind.Unfortunately there is no shortcut or magic to become a hacker you need to learn from your colleges or elder who are interested or it is better to consult your programming teacher.
To become a hacker, you first must have a keen interest in computers, how they work, their components and how computers communicate at the lowest level. If you aren't a programmer, you need programing skills.
Eric Raymond suggests that you learn Python first. After becoming comfortable with Python, you should learn C/C++, Java, Perl and LISP. Python, Java and Perl are all C-based languages but Python is an easier first language to grasp. LISP is an ancient language (in computer terms) but its approach will give you a different perspective on programming and will make you a better programmer and hacker.
You also need to obtain an open source operating system such as Linux, FreeBSD or OpenSolaris to use to hone your skills. Using existing code as a guide helps you learn to program.
Other than programming, what other skills do you need as a hacker?
Look back at the list of attributes given earlier: dedication, intelligence, analytic, problem-solving, communications and persistence.
You'll need dedication because becoming a competent hacker doesn't happen quickly. Like any job, you need to start small, grow and set personal goals. You need to have at least average intelligence.Believe it or not, the ability to communicate verbally and in writing is extremely valuable and is an essential tool in your skillset. And, Eric Raymond further suggests that you need at least a functional grasp of English, the language of hacking.
Finally, read all that you can about computer security, hacking and programming.
And, as kRishna tEj would say, "Happy Hacking!"

As we all know that Video cards(Graphics Cards) are required for many GAMES and some software that require higher memory usage and also for multimedia purpose. Video cards require two things to be compatible with your computer. The card must physically fit into your computer’s video slot. The card’s ports—its connectors—must match the ones on your monitor. Then, you also have to consider what features you want (and can afford); Finding a compatible video slot
Your computer most likely comes with one of two types of video slot:PCI-Express or AGP. In fact, your PC probably comes with a PCI-Express 16x slot because that slot has been built-into most computers for the past five years; PCI-Express(Peripheral Component Interface-Express): Found on nearly every PC sold since 2005, PCI-Express slots dominate the video card world. PCI-Express slots come in several sizes: most video cards require the largest size, which is called 16x. Conveniently, most newer computers come with a 16x slot.
AGP(Accelerated Graphics Port): Venerable PCs hailing from the late 1990s through 2005 often came with an AGP slot. An AGP slot is usually chocolate brown. Although the slot’s been through several revisions, most AGP slots accept either 4x or 8x AGP cards. You can still find a few AGP cards sold online at NewEgg and Amazon.
Finding a compatible video port You need to buy a video card that has at least one port that matches a port on your monitor. (Most video cards come with two or more ports.) Examine the connectors on your monitor to find any combination of these four: VGA(Video Graphics Array) or D-SUB: This early video connector simply won’t die. A VGA port works fine as a last resort to stay compatible, but the next three ports provide better-quality video.
This figure shows a VGA port on a video card(left), cable connector(middle), and monitor(right).
DVI(Digital Visual Interface): This port sends numbers to a flat-panel monitor, which converts those digits into pictures. This figure shows a DVI port on a video card(left), cable connector(middle), and monitor(right).
HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface): HDMI cables carry both video and surround sound.
An HDMI port is handy if you plan on watching your computer on a High Definition TV set. This figure shows an HDMI port on a video card(left), cable connector(middle), and monitor(right).
Deciding what video card features are worth your money Video cards come with oodles of options. Here’s a rundown on the things that drive a video card’s price up or down: Video memory: More memory means more detailed images, leading to higher price tag. Windows runs best on video cards with at least 256MB of video memory, more memory is better.
Brand: Two companies battle it out for the graphic market, so don’t be surprised to see a wide variety of brands selling what appears to be the same type of card. Off-brand cards can save money, but sometimes ship with incomprehensible manuals, little documentation, and no technical support.
Graphics chip: Because the latest chips carry a premium price, buy a slightly older model to save some money. For up-to-date tips, visit Tom’s Hardware and read their “Best Graphics Cards for the Money” article, updated monthly.
Dual-monitor support: Most video cards now supports two ports, meaning you can plug two monitors into them. A few even offer three ports.
Directx: Programmers use this special software to create advanced visual tricks. For the best experience, Windows 7 requires video that can handle DirectX version 11.
Noise: Video cards generate a lot of heat, so most of them include built-in fans. Cheap cards often come with noisy fan, know as “leaf-blowers.” Quieter cards cost more.
Resolution: The higher the resolution, the more information you can pack onto your monitor at once. And, of course, the higher the price.
To save money, check your monitor’s manual (or do a Google search for its make and model) to see its highest resolution. Then buy a card that meets that resolution because any higher resolution would be wasted.
Hi, friends after a long time I have came up with a cool developer post which is useful for every blogger or hacker.I've discovered it and did a research on it and now I'm here to reveal it to you.Most of us uses many browsers to surf the web, and many of us don't now about "Developer Tools" provided in them but they are very often used by web developers or designers and also hackers. Today I'm gonna explain you how to edit contents of a webpage exclusively.. First of all we have to select a browser, I use "mozilla firefox" in this b'coz it is most often used by all the developers and has a neat security. Using this browser you are going to edit or changing the elements in "facebook". It is just for educational purpose only not for changing the original sites contents. suppose that my facebook page looks like this I can edit it and change it look like another kind of stuff.. Before
After
This can be done by using developer tools in any browser but you have to know minimum basic topics on html to do this.
I did this now and the steps are: --> Open the site you wan to edit in a browser "I used Mozilla Firefox" and select the element you want to change. --> Point on the element you want to edit and click on "inspect element" and new window popups showing the page code.
--> Now head on to the right side box and that was in "CSS" script you can edit it's values and also insert your own values.
--> Do it at your own risk don't edit any password fields or confidential fields, doing that can be risky.....
If any doubts you can comment down here or contact me personally on my contact us page.
