Introduction and a question for any programmers novice-advanced

[britisharmy1]

Hello MPGH,

Well im new to the forum, and want to start participating in this community.

I'll give a breif bit about myself:

Name: Glenn

Age: 21

Occupation: IT Technician

Qualifications: CiscoITE, CompTIA A+ 2009, Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist MCTS

Areas of Interest: Anything to do with computer exploitation, penetration and hardware manipulation

Im also ex-serving british army, was an Airtrooper back in 06 working with the Apache AH-64 attack helicopters and alongside the parachute regiment as a GPMG support gunner on the frontline, I left last year to pursue a career in IT and get my freedom back!

So... my question for all you programmers out there, Im all specialised out in the computer troubleshooting department, its getting pretty boring now, and want to start developing hacks, which I can call my own for a change.

Ive only just started using T-search, i've done the really basic winmine.exe highscore hacking, so not even at entry level yet!

Can you guys point me in the right learning direction, I understand hacking takes years of study and practice, and even self-initiative, so this isnt a beg for instant hacking knowlege, just where all you guys started out, i.e. websites, programs, first languages, youtube videos, tutorials, threads on mpgh etc.

Thanks guys, and hope to start mucking in with you all soon!

Glenn \m/\m/

If you're interested specifically in WR or any other major FPS game like it, start off with C++. Pretty much any major site out there will help you grasp the basics of the language. Ideally you'll want to expand your knowledge to encompass ASM and stuff like reversing and general hacking (just search for tuts online or ask some of the guys in the programming section). Personally I recommend you check Lena's tuts on reverse engineering - great stuff to get you started. Finally if you'll want to play around with visual hacks D3D hacking and general use is a must-know, so look into that too

If you wanna head on over directly to Warrock ( Do not recommend )

I'd start off with C++ and doing some minor projects, give it 2-4 months or so
You'll find some good stuff here at the C++ section C++/C Programming - MPGH - MultiPlayer Game Hacking

And finally if you plan to come back into FPS game hacking with menus etc learn D3D, DirectX/D3D Development - MPGH - MultiPlayer Game Hacking
The section isn't as lively as it used too be but it still has some great tuts and me and a couple of other people are planning on getting it back to its original popularity.

Good luck, drop me a VM or PM if you get stuck .

Thanks mate, I'll get cracking with some of those lessons on C++, I'll definately you if I ever need some help
