What are real hackers?
What are real hackers suppose to do? Are they supposed to find errors in software for other people and then try to fix them or report them. That sounds like a beta tester or support tech to me. And if I want to be that then I would of just got a job doing that. And you would not get into trouble doing that.
Are real hackers supposed to break into websites or computers defacing them or destroying them. That sounds like a computer terrorist or scrip kiddy to me. And that is not what I want to be.
I think a real hacker is some one that looks at their situation and see how they can make it better. For example lets say you are at school and you wanted to save things to the hard drive so you could print it off later but the school has installed a program that wont let you save to the hard drive. What should you do? Should you let it pass and forget about it or should you try to get around it and hack the system and save any way.
I would hack the system and do what you need to do because it is not going to hurt anything if you do. But if you are caught then you get expelled from school.
Here is another example. What if you saved stuff on a schools computer or at work and you forgot to save it to disk. And when you got home you found out that to complete the assignment you need that thing you saved to the hard drive but forgot to save to the disk. What are you going to do know? Are you going to say forget about it and get a bad grade or get fired for not getting your stuff done. Or are you going to hack into the network and get it from the hard drive and finish your project. That is exactly what I would.
There is a million more examples that I could give but I think you get the idea. Hackers should hack for personal gain and not hurt any one in the process. Unless some scrip kiddy just wont let off then you should just let them have it. Butt there is never a good reason to ever rune a computer.
When I say personal gain I mean by improving your knowledge or help you get things done. Some people think that if we are out for personal gain maybe we should hack into banks and transfer funds. I personally think that is wrong because that is just stilling from people hard earned money. But if it was like Bill Gates you could always trick him in just doing it him self. That would be a true Hacker that really could get things done.
Some people may not agree with every thing. But I am not here to please people. I am here to learn and achieve my goals. Like making my own OS, Games and Software.
