Like how does someone hack into the pentagon, a bank, or some super high level security place without knowing passwords and such or are all those movies bs? Please explain using metaphors like trojan horse story cause I, like most people dont understand computer structure, loopholes, code, etc. Thanks.

If you are a advanced programer, there is no limits, everytime the big guns plug a hole the hackers find a way around it, thats what hackers live for the challenge.........I just read your question again, I think you are tryin to find a way to do it.............Naughty

the movies aren't bs, all one needs to hack into a system are a password cracking utility, and link to a computer in the area (ex. Email, AIM, etc.) and a back door if caught
A trojan is a virus hidden inside of a file that your acquire or download. (ex. a installer, a document, etc.)
a loophole is a way around of a secure system. more like instead of going thru a blocked door, to go around it or over.

Hi. Most attacks now use 'brute force' password crackers, like looking up ALL the word in the dictionary and all common alpha/numerals (such as 3 for E, 0 for O, etc.) You really do NOT want to attempt this because "Thar be dragons..."
