Intermediate: First Steps to Hacking (Hackthissite.org)

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for being away from posting anything but i just changed jobs and it has been busy at work. Cast aside your fears, this ship WILL sail.

My first 'practical and informative' post shall be on the site called 'Hack This Site!' (http://www.hackthissite.org/).  But before we proceed.. few disclaimers..

Disclaimer: This is being recommeneded for learning and educational purposes only. Any intent or results derived from the knowledge exposed from the site, the author of this blog Security Drone or the blog itself is not responsible in any manner or method possible.

Now the disclaimer is out of the way, some advice. Please be sure that you are at intermediate level before you go to the site and start reading. Intermediate level means you are aware some basic programming, OS like Linux, how TCP/IP works and good idea of basics of various Information Security best practices.


Once you register yourself, which totally free, browse through the awesome content on this site. There are articles, news feeds and most notably 'Challenges'. These missions under Challenges is the main reason for recommending the site. There are different missions from 'Basic' to 'Goliath' difficulty where the goal is to get into the emulated test setups. There will be hints to tell you how to hack it. Do not search for answers on the net as its look down upon and the efforts on getting to the solution is totally worth it - Satisfactory Guaranteed.

PS: By the way, please let me know how is the new look of the site. Also, please provide comments (Constructive & Positive) on how can i improve the look and feel of the site.

Yours Truly,
Neo
