Localhost HACK for practice! 03-02-2013, 10:59 PM
#1
Hello guys!
I've set up an Apache server on my Windows and my Ubuntu as well for practicing PHP etc. However I would really like to know how can I hack my localhost, like if I was an attacker from the outside. So like how can I get the MySQL password and username etc. I've made this because I'm very interested in computer security and I wanna know everything about hacking a website or a server, but I don't wanna practice on a real website, and I won't use my knowledge to do any harm. I gotta mention I'm a newbie in this, but passionate to learn!
If there is a thread like this I'm really sorry for making another one, I just don't know how to get started.
Thank you!

I wasn't a hacker for the money, and it wasn't to cause damage.
