the first step to hacking a school website is making sure you have the necessary tools.
Make sure to have an operating system called 'Kali Linux' on your computer
Then you running it through an application called 'VirtualBox”.
search for 'OpenVAS Scanner' and install that.
When that the tool is set up, we can run it and search for any vulnerabilities.
Open Vulnerability Assessment System.
it's looking through any networkz for any holes or weak spots that we can use to get inside.
"The first vulnerability it found is that their firewall is not up to date.
"The second vulnerability it found is that the website is not using any anti-bot software. This means we can use bots to overload their website and cause it to crash. It's called 'denial-of-service attack'.
"Lastly, the website is using an outdated version of jQuery, meaning we can exploit it and run our own code.
then crack that firewall. To do that, you will use this program called 'Metasploit.' Metasploit is used for exploiting vulnerabilities and gaining unauthorised access to computer systems."

@ultrilliam is this right
Ultrilliam:
Nope. Not even a little bit. Lol
Datacenter we have prevents DOS, which is basically just hammering the site/IP to take it down by overloading it. We also have measures in place to prevent that.
jQuery is barely out of date, however, that's purely client-side and there is no XSS vulnerability to be able to abuse it on any system other than you're own. Though, I am also updating jQuery in the next QC version, but that's slightly besides the point.
As for the firewall... My simple answer is no. Lol

you are a very slow typer. Thats okay. Can you give me a toutural on how to do this? I a intersted on learning new information and then maybe I can hack the darkweb next
Ultrilliam:
Not really a slow typer, was just processing how to respond to this without being harsh.
Still Need Help?

I don't mind the criticism.
Ultrilliam:
You're definition of `hack` is very wrong/loose here. Also "hacking" the "dark web" is not how that works. My next question, do you understand what the "dark web" really is?
lilbart:
This is the longest convo jay has been in
freshavacado850:
I haven't explained the important things about it yet. And what do you mean by not how that works? and also I think I do understand it, do you?
Arizona:
DON'T

Also you never asked a question, so that being, this would be your first question to ask.
Ultrilliam:
The dark web can refer to a few things, depending on how you are thinking of it.
- There is the "evil crime area" of the internet as how movies incorrectly portray it,
- Then there is what the dark web is, basically an area of the internet that isn't indexed. Basically means you cannot access it from a search engine, it's hidden away. There are technically parts of QC that can be considered "dark web"
- Then, there is the part of the web that can be accessed via the Tor Browser via .onion domains, this is where some "illegal activity" can sometimes happen, and where it would most likely be. However, "hacking" it isn't a correct way to describe it. If you know the address, you can go to it. Sometimes you need more than that.

Oh? So if this is a part of the dark web then would you consider this "evil" or whatever most people call it?
Ultrilliam:
I said parts of this were, take DM's, or the Subject Chats for example, they are not archived by a search engine because in their current form they can't be. The dark web is not what people think it is, it's simply a section of the internet where there is no way to find unless you know if it's existence. There is nothing inherently "evil" about it, but media has a funny way of warping things for fear mongering purposes.

I see, you have a very interesting way of explaining things. But you never answered my question, "Can you give me a toutural on how to do this? I am interested on learning new information and then maybe I can hack the dark web next" but we can leave the dark web part out I was just joking around with that.

The means and methods changes with what you are trying to do, but from the sounds of it, you are looking for the term "penetration testing", so you might google that term and come up with more. Cybersecurity is an ever-evolving field, and a massive scope, so unless you're more specific, I can't really give you a tutorial on everything.

Well, maybe we could start with the basics on " non penetration testing" which is maybe making your own site or learning the basics of CPU and the motherboard.

I took a college course on computers but I was so confused on most of what they were teaching so maybe learning from you would be much easier.
Ultrilliam:
Mmmmm, For the CPU and Making your own sites part, those are once again both loaded questions.
What kind of site are you making? What's your target audience? Questions like those are all things you have to consider and can drastically change the "how" and "why". The most basic of answers would be learn syntaxical structures, then move on to learning HTML and CSS. However, that paradigm nowadays can be thrown on it's head if making a basic static website due to things like Wordpress or Squarespace. Not to mention for things more complex there are now things that can compile down into HTML/CSS for those unfamiliar with it.
As for CPU's, what specifically are you looking to know? How they work? How they are designed? What their purpose is? Some of those have their own questions, for the "How they work" for example, there are many different parts to a CPU that each have their own purposes, such as an FPU (floating point unit).
For motherboards, those are much more easy to explain. Essentially it is a board that interfaces with the other components of a computer, they essentially facilitate the communication between various components.

maybe we could talk about this in dms? I feel it would be easier to slow down this conversation and I could try to explain this easier.
