1.What is this text about?
|
|
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
In this text I want to explain you why and how you should write tutorils and teach the other
|
|
people the things you know and the things you can do.
|
|
Most of the people keep the knowledge for them and don't want to share it.
|
|
This is NOT right.EVERYONE should know and you should share the knowledge with everyone.
|
|
That's why people are writing e-zines and texts.They all want to share their knowledge.
|
|
Many people just sit down and start writing texts.But if the text is not written well the people
|
|
won't understand what is the author talking about and everything will be just waste of time.
|
|
That's what is this text about.To help you understand why you should write texts and of course
|
|
how to write them so the people will be able to understand you.
|
|

|
*Note*
|
|
A tutorial is a text that has been written so the people can learn something new from it.
|
|
The tutorial can learn you how to do something and how to use something.
|
|
Today there are many excellent writers our there that keep writing new tutorials
|
|
|
|
2.Why you should write?
|
|
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
Many people just wonder and ask themselves why should they write and share their knowledge
|
|
when they can keep it for themselves.This is not right because can you just imagine what will
|
|
happen if everyone is thinking like these people? There will be only several people out there
|
|
that will be able to do something and noone else will know their secrets.The knowledge should
|
|
be free for everyone and everyone should share his/her knowledge.Because without hacking
|
|
we wouldn't have security now.That's why we all should share our knowledge and teach the other.
|
|
Some of you may say "I won't tell a lamer how to break a server or how to mailbomb because
|
|
he is a lamer and he'll do something lame".Well this is right because you can't just write a text
|
|
on how to break certain server because the lamers are just waiting for that.Be sure what you're
|
|
writing.
|

3.How you should write?
|
|
=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
Now I'll explain you the basics of writing a tutorial and I hope after reading it you'll all
|
|
realize that you can write texts and you'll start doing it.
|
|
|
|
Before you start writing think what you're going to write,what you're going to tell the people.
|
|
Anyway your tutoril will not be good and many people won't understand what you're talking about.
|
|
Next you should try to find something about your readers.Who are they?Advanced people or newbies?
|
|
Do they know what an exploit or portscanner is?
|
|
If you think they don't know these things make a section in your text about Terms there write all
|
|
of the terms you've menshioned in the text.In this way if someone don't know what a certain word is
|
|
he/she will be able to check the meaning of it.
|
|
Always make table of contents in your texts.It will be much more easier for the writers to use your
|
|
text.Start the text from a lever begineer and with ever chapter try to tell new things.People will
|
|
understand you better.
|
|
Now it's time you should write something.Always start and tell what is the text going to be about,
|
|
what will people learn from it and so on.Let the reader know what is he/she going to read about.
|
|
Try not to make spelling mistakes.Try to be like a professional writer.In this way people will
|
|
believe you.Of course make the text in pagargafs.This will help the reader to navigate in the
|
|
text if it's bigger one.
|
|
Always try to explain the things clear and if you're talking about certain program or
|
|
something else put a link where people can download it,because sometime many writers forget about
|
|
that and then they got flooded with e-mails from readers about where they can download the stuff.
|
|
When writing something don't forget to leave your e-mail for contacts.
|
|
|
|
4.The bad people
|
|
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
Of course there are people out there that do really lame things.They find some text somewhere
|
|
and they just change the author's name and the e-mail and start destributing the text.As you
|
|
see this is really stupid.These people do it because they just can't write so good text and
|
|
that's why they just change the name on it.But if you do it be sure you'll get caughed and then
|
|
you'll be known as the lamer that steals other people's work.Hackers and such never forget so
|
|
they'll always know you as such person.Before doing such thing think what will happen next.
|
|
|
|
5.Example
|
|
=-=-=-=-=
|
|
Whenever one text is good or not there are still people that can't understand the things you've
|
|
wrote.You can help them and you can do it by inserting an example in your text.The people will
|
|
remember the example and you'll help them to understand the text.
|
|
|
|
Check this out:
|
|
|
|
You're talking about how someone can steal your password via the phone.Well include in example so the
|
|
reader can remember the situation this will help him/her for better understanding of the text.
|
|
|
|
Hacker:HEllo I'm Mike from the support of your ISP
|
|
Reader:Yeah what's the problem?
|
|
Hacker:We've lost all of our passwords but we've created a program
|
|
that will back up everything anyway you may need to pay some more money
|
|
because we've lost your password.If you tell it to us we'll fix that problem
|
|
Reader:No problem I don't want to pay more money my password is Lock666
|
|
Hacker.Thanks have a nice day
|
|
|
|
Including such examples will help the reader to understand that and your text.
|
|
So when you can include an example of what you're talking about.
|
|
|

|
|
Here's the end of the tutorial.I hope you've learned something from the text
|
|

|
|
all do it because I'm sure everyone can write good tutorials.
