Hello everyone,
I am extremely new to the world of Hacking and I was wondering if anyone has any pointers for someone who is just starting out. I have some extremely basic knoweledge of coding, even saying that is a stretch though. This is something I've always wanted to get into, so even the smallest jumping off point would be appreciated.
thanks

How to use null byte to become a professional hacker and how to post to null-byte are the two go-tos for beginners.
Hi, welcome to null-byte
I am new to the world of hacking too. These would be my suggestions:
1) Start using some linux flavor, most probably Kali Linux. Don't install it just yet. Download virtualbox software and kali linux image. Make a virtual machine and practice there. Its really easy, see videos on youtube and search google.
2) Go through CEH 6/7 (certified ethical hacker) course work. just some slides but it'll help you with the 'what's what' of hacking.
3) Read a lot. Play around with hacking tools in Kali linux. Watch youtube or use google to find out when to use a tool and how.
4) Learn to code. you can start with a scripting language like python. they are really easy and fast to learn and really good too.
5) Go through posts at null-byte, ask around if you need help with something. people here are very friendly and the atmosphere is very productive and inspiring here.

Welcome to our wonderful community at Null Byte!
Qaleb and Dragon Slayer both made excellent suggestions. That's the beauty of our community!
Welcome to this community. I would start with OTW's Linux basics and Metasploit basics.
It's hard to say since I dont know where you are headed or want to head. But I would say you need to learn some programming languages for sure.
