RE: The Hacker's Ethic
At the beginning of what I call hacking, the purpose of a hacker was not to "show how much damage" he can do.. It's all depend of the moral and the will of the hacker. And the firsts hacker do not learn how to make damages to an organization but to build the numeric universe by resolving problems
You are not a hacker, you can't talk about hacking, you don't know what you are talking about.
You should write an article about: How to be a wannabe hacker instead.
I won't said that I'm a good hacker but I know the basis and I have 2 good friends who are in master of programming at the university and that I always consult to have their opinion. They don't have either your point of view.
So, for you, a hacker is in all cases someone who act illegally for his own purpose?
Just remember that legal does not mean ethical and ethical does not mean legal. Same goes for morality. Just cause something is moral doesn't mean it is legal, also just cause something is legal doesn't mean it is moral. I'm really caught in between and I don't know where to find myself, this is the condition of the hacker, your life it outside of the mainstream and we are horribly misunderstood and under appreciated.
Yes I totally agree with you, it's not linked but it can be per moment! And that's always hard for hacker to experience his skills in a legal way and to prove his value in this field... But for me, I prefer to be outside of the mainstream. I have taken the red pill and you?
Haha I think I took both pills
