Root -- As a noun, refers to cyberomnipotence, the highest level of access on a computer. Can also be used as a verb. "To root a box" means to obtain root through unconventional means, at which point the system has been "rooted."

Haxored -- A cool underground term for hacking. "I haxored that box."

Trojan -- Shorthand for "Trojan horse," a method of cracking a system by slipping it a seemingly harmless and beneficial program that secretly contains programming that gives an attacker unauthorized access. Common off-the-shelf Trojans include Back Orifice 2000, and Sub-7, recently spotted masquerading as a free Internet adult film -- beware of Greeks bearing porn.

Eleet -- Means "elite," but generally used with sarcastic or self-deprecating humor and spelled out with numerals, not roman letters: 31337. "I hax0red this box with 31337 skillz," might mean, "This was too easy."

Rootkit -- A generic term for a suite of programs that gives a hacker fun things to do after rooting a box. Might include programs for covering your tracks, or for "sniffing" a company's network for interesting traffic.

Zero day -- A security hole that's been discovered by the underground, but not yet by the computer security community.

Docs -- A person's identifying information, like name, email address, social security number, etc. "I rooted his box and downloaded his docs."

Script kiddie -- Someone who uses exploits to penetrate unsecured boxes, deface websites, and generally make trouble, without having the skills to write such a program themselves. Usually a juvenile.

Packet monkey -- A script kiddie who floods computers and websites with data packets, to maliciously take them offline. The distributed denial of service attacks that sometimes afflict popular e-commerce websites are performed by packet monkeys

The very first thing you need to do is get a copy of PKZIP or some other file unzipping utility. Nearly everything that you download from the Internet or from a BBS will be zipped. A zipped file is a file that has been compressed. Zipped files end with the extension ".zip". Then you need to get yourself a good prefix scanner.(also known as a War Dialer) This is a program that automatically dials phone numbers beginning with the three numbers (prefix) that you specify. It checks to see if the number dialed has a carrier.(series of beeps that tells you that you have dialed a computer) Try and find a large business area prefix to scan. It is these businesses that have interesting computers. There are many good scanners out there, but I would recommend Autoscan or A-Dial. These are very easy to use and get the job done quickly and efficiently.

Another way is through Telenet or some other large network. Telenet is a very large network that has many other networks and remote computers connected to it. 

"Remember the Trojan Horse? Bad guys hid inside it until they could get into the city to do their evil deed. A Trojan computer program is similiar. It is a program which does an unauthorized function, hidden inside an authorized program. It does something other than it claims to do, usually something malicious (although not necessarily!), and it is intended by the author to do whatever it does. If it is not intentional, it is called a bug or, in some cases, a feature :) Some Virus scanning programs detect some Trojans.  Some scanning programs don't detect any Trojans. No Virus scanners detect all Trojans." Virus: "A Virus is an independent program which reproduces itself. It may attach itself to other programs, it may create copies of itself (as in companion Viruses). It may damage or corrupt data, change data, or degrade the performance of your system by utilizing resources such as memory or disk space. Some Viruse scanners detect some Viruses. No Virus scanners detect all Viruses. No Virus scanner can protect against any and all Viruses, known and unknown, now and forevermore." Worm: "Made famous by Robert Morris, Jr., Worms are programs which reproduce by copying themselves over and over, system to system, using up resources and sometimes slowing down the system. They are self contained and use the networks to spread, in much the same way that Viruses use files to spread. Some people say the solution to Viruses and worms is to just not have any files or networks. They are probably correct. We could include computers."
