Ha ha I know I'm not going to be hacking Amazon or anything of the sort I was just using it as an example and I think I'll start with Python. Secondly do you mean Linux the computer program like windows? Also I don't want to be a hacker who try's to destroy things I just want the challenges of hacking and being able to say 'O I hacked such and such.' I believe you have more control and skill if you simply hack something an then leave it be and not completely destroy someone else's work.

I am completely new to hacking, I know my way round a computer but I don't know a thing about programming or hacking. I started this topic so that people could help me and give me a place to start, YouTube tutorials etc. I have been looking at many websites and I have been doing a bit of research and this seemed to be the most organised website. I have read that you don't take too well to 'hacking noobs' but was hoping that you could point me in the right direction. Originally I thought that hacking was a single skill that let you hack whatever you want and do what you want and that learning one code was like a master code but I have now come to believe it is many different skills and you need a different set of skills for each hack(correct me of  wrong). I understand that if I am to learn any skills at all that I need to put in a lot of time and work which I am willing to do. As I've said before I will need to research thoroughly for each new hack I want to do but I was hoping that people knew some good tutorials and topics to start on learning the basics.
