So, you want to be a hacker, eh? I suppose I could teach you a thing or two. I'm not bad at it myself, as a matter of fact. Just stick with me, kid, and you'll be up to your elbows in stuff you shouldn't be in no time.
First things first, there are two major types of hacking. There is direct hacking, in which you actually modify a piece of software, and network hacking, which is the more well-known form, and lets you get into things you shouldn't.
Direct software hacking has a bit of a steep learning curve. The most important thing is to be able to read assembly code for the device you're trying to hack. For example, in an MSP430 (a fairly common RISC-architecture microprocessor,) assembly code looks like this (I've commented the code so you'll be able to understand what it's doing:)
If you're interested in learning assembly to be able to read all of that, let me know and I'll post a few lessons on it. However, the specific request for this lesson was network hacking.
Mainly, network hacking involves intercepting network packets and decoding them to get access to the internal data. Once you know everything about a certain number of packets, you can gain access to the network in question. However, I can tell that most of my readers are probably going to be feeling a little lost at this point, so I'm going to give you some quick and easy tricks on one of the simplest forms of hacking: Google Hacking.
That's right; I bet you didn't know that you could use Google to hack things, did you? In this first example, I'll show you how to hack a security camera. Don't worry; it's easier than it sounds.
Visit Google and past exactly this into the search box:
inurl:”viewerframe?mode=motion”
Now, look underneath each result at the web address. If it looks like an actual website, you probably shouldn't click on it, as it's someone else who knows this trick and probably is full of viruses. However, if you see a result that begins with an IP address, such as http://207.28.13.71/ViewerFrame?Mode=Motion, go ahead and click on it. Voila! You are now viewing a security camera. The controls to move the camera are on the right side of the screen, though they are usually locked unless you input a password.
Hopefully you've enjoyed your first taste of hacking. Let me know if you found this lesson useful and informative, and I'll post more like it.

Of course you should listen to me. Have I ever lied to you before? I mean, in this topic.
will anyone know i did it like the police or somthing
Nope. This can't get you into any trouble; you're not doing anything illegal. All you're doing is accessing unsecured webcams - it's their own fault for leaving them unsecure.
