Answer 2

If you know its illegal then why do you ask it?

The only information I will pass on is this -

1 - hacking a computer takes more than just hitting keys on a keyboard.
2 - sometimes hacking doesn't require you to use a PC at all.
3 - go back to school and make something of your life other than asking such questions.

Answer 3

It depends upon how good you are, and how their system is configured.

Given that you had to ask, you're nowhere near good enough, and won't be for a few years at least.

If they're behind a good NAT firewall and have up-to-date antivirus and antispyware it's nearly impossible to hack into their system. Even for an expert.

Answer 4

based on the fact that you asked the question as well as the assumption that you are asking how hard would it be for you to do, I am going to go with next to impossible.... now if you hadn't have asked I might have said fairly easy, well no, I guess I would have said nothing at all.

Answer 5

It depends on how secure the computer is that you want to break into.

Answer 6

I would imagine it is VERY hard considering all the security things they have thesadays. but seriously, dont try it. you can get into major hot water.

Answer 7

don't really know

I never saw a reason to do it

supposedly very easy if you're on the same wireless connection, ie. you're stealing wirelss internet from him, or he's stealing wireless internet from you
