As I read this, I'm sort of torn as to whether or not Metal Duck realizes this is a security site or not. Also, I'm curious to know his definition of a hacker.

Let me revise these rules to work...

1. Gain as much knowledge as you can about computer systems, software, hardware...etc.
2. Share your knowledge with others. This is for your own good cause it will enhance your knowledge and skills.
3. Learn programming languages. It's not only fun to program but it can enhance your computer skills.
4. Collecting Trojans and other virii is good for learning how they are carried out and how infections work within a system. Many people collect them for this reason.
5. Read until your eyes bleed. You think you know enough? I guarantee there is someone out there that knows more and can do more than you.
6. Don't come to a security forum claiming to be a hacker and write up a list of rules on hacking.

Not to be rude or anything, but we're learning these things to protect our systems not to exploit others.
