Every now and then, a new thread about hacking is opened, and here you go.. Posters will be excited just by reading the word hacking. Unfortunately lot of the said stuff is wrong.
Hacking may be either targeting a server, (http, ftp, smtp..) or a simple PC.
Most todays servers, whether running on a windows platform or a linux platform have been perfectly patched against most known vulnerabilities. So, one need really to know, understand and master in deep details each & every server type (Apache, Microsoft-IIS, Netscape-Enterprise, Zeus, tigershark, Rapidsite.. to name a few) in order to be able to try to hack them. It's ridiculous to try to hack a server while completely ignoring its type and functionalities..
From the other hand, most todays PCs are runnung WinXP and even SP2 so the old netbios hacking (port 137, 138, 139) [NETBIOS Name Service, NETBIOS Datagram Service, NETBIOS Session Service] is OBSOLETE, yes OBSOLETE.
windows XP/SP2 has fixed every possible issue concerning these ports and even the 445, 1025 etc..
The hacking level that we use to play with 10 years ago with our old win3.1 or even Win95 is NO LONGER VALID (take my word)
Conclusion: (InMyHumbleOpinion) find yourself a good book to read (several interesting topics are available to everyone) TCP/IP, layers, HTML and dynamic scripts, progarmming..
cheers ;)
