I'm looking for some hacker guides?

CraZyLaurie

Now don't go saying its bad blah blah blah i know what I'm getting into for now I'm just looking for some basics like how to turn off my moms pc while shes playing solitaire nothing big like crashing a bank system those are already down anyway I'm already doing a course in computer programing doing some java but just basic calculator kind of stuff and I'm bored to death with it i want a challenge something more advanced something to get me thinking cause so far in java the most "difficult" program we wrote was: "A worker is paid at hourly rate of 8 Euro per hour for the 1st 35 hours worked. Thereafter overtime is paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate for the next 25 hours worked and 2 times the hourly rate for further hours worked. Write a java program to input the number of hours worked per week, calculate and output the over time paid use EasyIn and if statements" if u ask me that pretty simple stuff so hacker guides or some good books and real ones to get me started please much appreciate it.

You don't need to be a programmer to do something like that and a lot of hacking isn't anything to do with programming.
For example you can shutdown any computer on your network as long as you have the computer name.

So for example if you mom's computer was called CraZyLauriesMomsLaptop

just open a command prompt on your computer and type

shutdown /p \\CraZyLauriesMomsLaptop

You may need to be running as Administrator for it to work

it doesn't seem to be working i tried like 15 times and it keeps saying this:

Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f]
    [/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]

    No args    Display help. This is the same as typing /?.
    /?         Display help. This is the same as not typing any options.
    /i         Display the graphical user interface (GUI).
               This must be the first option.
    /l         Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.
    /s         Shutdown the computer.
    /r         Shutdown and restart the computer.
    /g         Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is
               rebooted, restart any registered applications.
    /a         Abort a system shutdown.
               This can only be used during the time-out period.
    /p         Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning.
               Can be used with /d and /f options.
    /h         Hibernate the local computer.
               Can be used with the /f option.
    /e         Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer.
    /m \\computer Specify the target computer.
    /t xxx     Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
               The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30.
               If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is
               implied.
    /c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               Maximum of 512 characters allowed.
    /f         Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
               The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is
               specified for the /t parameter.
    /d [p|u:]xx:yy  Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned.
               u indicates that the reason is user defined.
               If neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is
               unplanned.
               xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256).
               yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536).
