bulbasaur, what kind of name is that? Anyways, you should learn a programming language, such as C.

C might be a bit tough on you.
Also, completely forget your past of using trojans since its clear that you didn't make them yourself. It's wonderful that you realize that what you did wasn't "true" hacking.
I'd second Darth_Pengu. Learn Javascblockedript. Then I'd recommend PHP.
However, you said you wished to hack networks. Javascblockedript and PHP wouldn't help you much there.
Basically, hacking computers rather than websites requires more of a programming knowledge (C, C++, Delphi, ASM) than a web scblockedripting knowledge (HTML, JS, PHP, ASP).
But I'd also like to say that I find web scblockedripting easier to jump into than programming.
So my recommendation is: Learn JS and PHP so you can get a grasp of learning languages. Then take a try at C.
If you find C too hard, then you should think about starting from the bottom with a language like QBASIC.
If you want to know where to find info on any of these things then just ask below. Or you could always try Google.

The only problem with learning a scblockedripting language first is that you become a lazy programmer. scblockedripting languages are generally more lax in their syntax and type-enforcement. If you learn a strongly-typed language first, then learning a scblockedripting language will be much easier. The first language I really learned was Java. After learning that, it was very easy to pick up C, PHP, javascblockedript, or whatever I wanted to learn. If you really want to become a good hacker, you should learn to be a pure programmer. Don't learn to program in language X, learn to program so that you can use the language as a tool.

That's true, mets0c. But a complete beginner diving into C would be very challenging and may discourage them to carry on. That's why I suggest you start with something a little easier and try to work your way up to the more intimidating languages.

I agree that C would be a tough start. Perhaps a more forgiving OO language such as Java or C# would be better. I still believe that starting with a strongly-typed language will be better in the long run. Yes, it will be a bit more frustrating at first, but in the end I think it's better. You'll be a more skilled programmer.

Books or online ... that's a matter of personal preference. Some like online, others like books. Either way if you stick with it there are plenty of valid resources for both. Personally, I prefer online because it costs less.
