Hello Just wondering if you knew of a good IRC channel (and server) that you'd recommend I go to for hacking advise.
Just like mailing lists, there's a big choice out there. Freenode (irc.freenode.net) has a decent handful of security-related channels, as well as general technology-focused channels (Full Disclosure, though - I'm a staffer on the network, although I wouldn't promote it if I didn't think it was a good fit for you 0:)
A few decent starter channels on the network are ##security, ##networking, and #cisco, all of which seem like they're broadly ontopic for you. There are some other security channels you might be interested in as well like #remote-exploit (home of the backtrack livecd distro) and #webappsec.
If you're interested in programming, ##java and ##c++ are probably worth a try too.
Good luck! :) - James. -- James (njan) Eaton-Lee | UIN: 10807960 | http://www.jeremiad.org "All at sea again / And now my hurricanes Have brought down this ocean rain / To bathe me again" https://www.bsrf.org.uk | ca: https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: CenzicTop 5 Common Mistakes in Securing Web Applications
