How to hack a server


THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. DO NOT MISUSE IT . DO NOT USE IT AGAINST ANYONE'S SITE OR SERVER. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG . AGAIN THIS IS ONLY EDUCATIONAL


Requirements :
Any Ubuntu based Linux (ex. Linux mint, Ubuntu, etc etc.)
the first step is to install a program called "siege" this is a command line program. this hack is a pretty small one.
This program is actually used by administrator  to check the strength of their website
which essentially means we can also use it to overload the site and crash it.

The simple steps for installation are
go to your terminal
type in sudo apt-get install siege
type your admin password
it will install
NOW TO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE CRASH..

go to your terminal
type siege -c20 <<website name>>  (example:  siege -c20 www.example.com)
press enter
it will start the "battle"
to stop the attack close the terminal ot press "ctrl+z"
here  "-c" indicates how many concurrent users.. meaning how strong the attack should be.! (this depends on your computers processor (if you have single core then 200 is max, if you have a more powerful comp, then 5000,10000 etc etc)


Note: this hack may or may not work. powerful servers like Google or yahoo cannot be brought down with a single computer. keep this in mind this hack can be super powerful if you want!
