Easy 3 step guide for newbies to learn hacking

Hacking is often one of the most misinterpreted words in computer lexicon. Hacking was a term that originated in 1990s and is associated with the unauthorized use of computer and network resources. By definition, hacking is the practice of altering the features of a system, to accomplish a goal which is not in scope of the purpose of its creation. However, hacking has more to it than just altering a code, it is a high paying career choice with huge reputation for successful hackers.
If you are a beginner and need to learn how to hack, the information provided in this post can surely help you out.

How can I Learn to Hack as a newbie?

If you are a beginner and have little or no knowledge of hacking, the best way to learn is to start from the basics rather than undertake complicated hacking assignment. It is always advisable to think and start small in hacking. Instead try to spend time in mastering the basic concepts of hacking so you can learn advanced hacking methods later.
To successfully learn how to hack, the following are some of the steps that you can take:

Step-1: Explore the Fundamentals

Know you computer, this is that basic thing you should start of with. You can start off by exploring the fundamental concepts such as operating system basics (Windows and Linux), computer networking, network protocols, firewalls and how each of these stuffs work etc. A little theoretical knowledge of the above is a must for you to progress as hacker.
You can make use of resources and websites on the Internet to source your knowledge. If you are more interested in exploring any of these stuffs in detail, you can always pick up a book that details the particular aspect of computing.

Step-2: Find a Good Source that will Teach How to Hack in Simple Steps

Hacking is a self learning exercise but you wont progress until you have a good master. Most of the times, the information available on the Internet is fragmented or too geeky. A good book or a teacher can lay down very short term goals for you. A book is always better to teach you how to hack in a step-by-step easy to follow manner. If you are a newbie, this book called Hacking Secrets Exposed  is a perfect source for learning how to hack.

Step-3: Learn Programming

If you really want to hack like an elite hacker, programming is something that you can’t skip. Even in programming there are several languages with ready made tools and programs to help you hack like the Kali Linux.
Iis always better to have some basic understanding of programming languages like HTML, PHP and JavsScript so that you will be in a better position to figure out how they work and what’s going on in the background. Nevertheless, there are hackers who are successful and they dont know how to program at all.

How Long does it Take to Learn Hacking?

Hacking is all about dedication and putting long hours. How long will it take for you to learn hacking is the answer you yourself will know once you proceed using the above three steps.
To remember, hacking requires knowledge, skills, creativity, dedication and of course the time. It also requires the nose to spot anything that is out of context. For your hack attempts to be successful, you should adopt a hacker’s mindset and start thinking just like the hacker.
To become a good hacker you need to know your goals. Finding flaws is most difficult if you start with multiple objectives. Learn to track a single goal till it is accomplished before you move on to the next one.

           HOW TO CREATE AN ANDROID APP

Follow this 7 step guide to create your first Android App

Android is no doubt a great platform for users as well as developers. Thanks to Android Studio and continuous support from Google. And in case you were thinking to begin creating Android apps but did not have much idea of the know-how, you can follow this article to get your doubts clarified.

Programming Language

Android apps are developed in Java. You do not need to be an expert, but you should be good in specific areas, e.g. you need to have good knowledge of AWT and Swing for developing a GUI for your app. Getting easy with following topics before starting will make the development phase more enjoyable.
>> Event Handling.
>> Swing.
>> Constructors.
>> JDBC.
>> Classes, Objects and Methods.
>> Packages.
>> Abstraction.
>> Polymorphism.
>> Inheritance.
You’ll also need to learn basics of the Extended Markup Language(XML).

Places to Learn From

You can Learn Basics of Java and Android Development from these websites.
1. TreeHouse
2. Tutorials Point
3. Udacity( Android development for beginners)
4.Youtube
5.EdX

Steps to get an app built

1. Ideation

First of all an idea is required to be worked on. You’ll need to have a clear view of what your app will be for and what it will do. A good idea will be to start small and gradually add sophistication. Don’t make it so boring that you don’t want to make it but try to avoid any complex functions as far as possible. Ideally, the app will only require one ‘screen’ (activity) and will involve some simple interactions so that something happens when the user presses a button. Consider it a challenge to make something that’s genuinely useful with the minimum amount of code.

2. Choosing your IDE

The most common way to build Android apps is to use Android Studio and Java. This is the official method recommended by Google and it will afford you a lot of flexibility while ensuring there’s plenty of support if things go wrong. This is also the method you will need to know if you ever plan on becoming a professional developer.
There are numerous other options for your IDE and language too however. You may pick Unity and C++ for instance if you want to make a game. Basic4Android is an IDE focused on rapid development that lets you code with BASIC rather than Java. There’s even an IDE that runs on Android called AIDE.

3. Collecting Resources

Resources mean images and other material you will use in your app. You can download numerous images and use them but be aware not to violate someone’s copyright.

4. Building the layout of your app in IDE

Now you’re going to create your layout in Android Studio using the ‘designer’. This is a tool that lets you simply drag and drop the widgets (also called ‘views’) where you want them on the page. You’ll need to start a new project in Android Studio to do this but there will still be no coding necessary at this point (except maybe a little XML). To start a new project select File > New > New Project. Follow the steps selecting a name for your project and for your activities and choose ‘Empty Activity’.

5. Writing the core code

Now comes the more challenging part – adding the code. You know the basics of Java and you have your widgets/views already in place. Now you’re going to open the Java file for your main activity and simply create some ‘onClick’ events to add code that will run only when users click a specific button or otherwise take a specific action.

6. Implementing more complexity

By now though, you should have some of the basic functionality in place so that your app responds to button clicks (in one way or another) and perhaps stores some variables.
Next is to add the more advanced functionality that will be specific to your app. For example, you might want your app to play music when a button is clicked. Maybe you want to add some flashy animations. Or perhaps you need to know how to transition from one activity to the other.

7. Final review and publishing

Now comes the last step. You’ll have to test your app for bugs and once everything is right you can get your app published on Google Play Store.

POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITES HAVE BEEN BLOCKED ONCE AGAIN IN UGANDA
     This is the second time social media has been blocked by the governement of Uganda the first time it was blocked during the election period now it has been blocked a head of the swearing in of the Allegedly elected president ,this is a pure violation of peoples freedom and we greatly donot support this.

"It is our hope that during President Museveni’s inauguration and related activities this week, the Government of Uganda will commit itself to defend the rights and freedoms of all its citizens. Especially important during this time will be respect for the freedoms of information, expression and assembly. We are reminded of the Government’s decision to shut down social media during the February 18 elections, and its recent ban on media coverage of the political opposition’s activities. As we have said before, such acts send the wrong message to the Ugandan people and are violations of their rights, as guaranteed in the country’s laws and constitution.
A society that is free, vibrant, and successful depends on the free flow of information and ideas, including access to information online and through a free and independent press. We expect authorities to uphold these principles."

But it turns out this was all in vain because the government didnot listen so if you have any way of helping the people of Uganda in Any way please help them And please share this post
