-Disclaimer: This thread is solely for educational purposes.


I created this thread for both people who are just starting their career in penetration testing and those who are already pros at the profession.So questions and contributions are highly welcome

~Well its not too farfetched; the only way to be a capable pentesters is to know how to code.In all sections of programming;pentesters should be very versatile when it comes to coding.A good hacker should be able to read and write in almost all programming languages (if you truly want to be a master in the game)cos as a hacker; you should be able to efficiently write your own scripts when the CHIPS ARE DOWN,that's what differentiates you from the SCRIPT KIDDIES.
If you are planning to hack by writing scripts and not using tools(softwares) all the time you have to be conversant with these three languages;PHP,Python & C++.Listed in the order of their complexity.
*PHP basically for hacking of websites and granting admin privileges.
*Python is a more powerful hacking language and surprisingly with a very easy to learn syntax.Cos python is a very logical language.
*The C language is also a very powerful language relatively more complex and harder to get than python.It also has a wider range of libraries than python.Simply because it is older than python
So in this thread we are going to be working mostly in python cos it is very easy to learn and powerful.
*Now let's leave the aspect of writing scripts for hacking for the meantime
*The penetration testing world has not left out those who cannot learn programming for one reason or the other out of the game of pentesting

*Lists of penetration testing softwares*
-Metasploit Framework
-Veil Framework
-Empire Framework
-e.t.c
There are loads of penetration testing softwares out there but the ones I've listed above are part of the most used softwares.
Getting Ready to hack
Before you start to hack you have to have the following almost ready at all times to have a successful hacking career.
-A 4GB RAM(or above) pc
-Wifi Router(it comes very useful at certain times)
Setting up your PC to become a hacking( attacking machine)
The windows operating system was never designed with hacking in mind.If you plan to hack with a windows machine;you might never be able to go fast in learning hacking.I've spent almost 14 days installing just a single python library on windows before.REMEMBER TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO NEVER HACK WITH WINDOWS.
*Linux is the best operating system for hacking no doubt.Every python library you need is already installed with it and all the popular hacking frameworks are already installed by default. So indirectly of you want to turn your PC into a hacking machine; the first thing to do is to install Linux on it.Installing Linux is the first step to a,hacking career.

I would really appreciate it if I get enough comments to keep the thread alive.Thanks

What distribution of Linux do you recommend?

Thanks for this thread,
Pls continue am following

Kali Linux

Please carry on, this thread came at the right time for me... I just started learning python.

Welcome on board

Now let us drop the theory for some time.Let's go into practicals for a while.
I will be putting everybody through on how to create a powerful keylogger in the c++ language.
*Creating your first c++ keystroke capturing software.*
Let's make the class more interesting:
Like I said before there are numerous pentesting softwares out there you can use; but they all come with some required experience; so the best bet is to create your own tools.I will be taking you through how you can create a keylogging software that sends keystrokes directly to your email with Custom encryption. Now let's hit the ground running:
-NB:Pls follow the requirements strictly and please try as much as possible to not tamper with the source code;only change the things I ask you to change,no more no less.

-A windows 10 operating system,USB installed or using a Virtual machine
-Install code blocks on your system.
-As much as I would have loved to drop all the info here;the mods may be pissed off and a *.CPP* and *.h* file .So I will have to create a WhatsApp group(whatsapp allows for .CPP and .h extensions to be uploaded) for the source codes and all you have to do is change the email address and password and you compile.
That's all you have to do to make your email sending keyloggers.

This is the link to join the WhatsApp grouphttps:///Hm2Dg8e09goExC2MhMhXkk

Join d WhatsApp group to get everything you need

The link isn't working, can you add me via 0/809355/4575

Join d WhatsApp group with this link https:///Hm2Dg8e09goExC2MhMhXkk

The WhatsApp invite link is not working add me to the group 08132020829

Added.I don't know what is wrong with the link.

Anyone interested can drop their numbers .I will add them.The group is getting deep.Drop nos if you really got interest in infosec

Download and install code blocks version 17.12 on your pc

I will drop the download link in a while

Once downloaded install it.But please take this precautions before install to prevent errors in the compiling stage,If it is convenient for you. Disable your windows firewall and any other AV softwares

i am new beginner in python too. maybe we share ideas, what do think? u can reach me on frankekpeti@gmail.com If u are in warri it will be better.

Add me pls

0 8 0 6 8 1 8 6 5 5 5

Pls can you add me to the whatsapp group. I will drop my number once you reply this message. Thanks

As a brother concerned. Those who are following this thread, if u dont have idea of programming, dont suffer urcf am sensing d OP may use u as victim. Be wise.
Trust no one, worst a pen tester

I thought you said we uninstall Windows.

Probably cause he doesn't know you can develop exploits and write codes on linux.
