Hi guys I'm new to here i'm a senior in high school and recently decided i want to become an ethical hacker.  I know HTML and SQL and I'm going to start learning C++ over winter. I know alot about DDOS and crypters and packers related.  Where would be a good place to start learning more about ethical hacking? Are there any books or colleges that have cources that teach ethical hacking?

Ethics, you know right from wrong.. its that simple, dont hack into critical systems like Hospitals like that epic bit of fail "Jesse William McGraw", who called himself "GhostExodus," aged 25, he was leader of the hacker group "Electronik Tribulation Army," and worked the night shift at the Carrell Clinic hospital in Dallas. He had bragged online that he “infiltrated” the facility. Epic Fail when the FBI arrived on his door... Ethics some of us have them other's do not... Dont waste your time with courses instead buy a good book.. Books save you time and money.. Welcome to EH..

One of the greatest books of all time; well tis in my humble opinion..

Good examples.. Ketchup fancy a cheese toasty? I is hungry and fancy a'la'munch! time me thinks for a grease packed take out with Chinese noodles and some hot chilli sauce... (stomach rumble!)

Emulate the N64, those games on Windows rule! No one beats me at golden-eye!!

Thanks alot for the help.
At the moment my computer is broken and i don't know how to fix it and i'm kinda too poor to buy a new one so C++ will be on hold until then.
If you could help me with my computer it would be greatly appreciated

I have an Hp Pavilion running windows XP
I did a system restore and the internet is no longer working on it
I was told to reinstall the network drivers but i can't find them and i installed the motem drivers again and it didn't work.

basic

you should be able to get the network card's drivers off the HP site. Does it work with a linux live cd?
