Sometime Today, Nikhil Joshi assembled some asciibets to say: > Heck Hackers in general r baddies right? And their primary job IS to > break security (hacking websites,steal passwords....) Or am I wrong?
Absolutely wrong. No hacker in the world is a baddie. Those are crackers. Further clarification available at http://www.ncst.ernet.in/~philip/writings/hackers-not-crackers.html I am a hacker by the way. It is unethical for a hacker to interfere in systems he is not legally allowed to work on. A hacker is someone who loves computers, and loves to explore new ways of solving problems. My document refers you to other literature on the subject. Philip PS: without hackers, there would be no Internet, no linux, and in fact, no computers. -- Police up your spare rounds and frags.
