First Post – Welcome to noob2root!

Welcome to noob2root. This blog is intended to provide hands on instruction on hacking techniques and practices. If you are an ethically minded enthusiast who is interested in getting into the fields of Information Security, Penetration Testing, and hacking, then this blog is for you. If you are inclined to use the techniques taught here for nefarious purposes, know that it is not only unethical, but highly illegal – unauthorized hacking is a surefire way to wind up in prison – so just don’t do it.

Now that that’s out of the way, we’ll move on to the good stuff.
