to judge a hacker and classify them as a loser is a real good comment there.......most are not losers, but introverts that are dynamically charged......at least in my opinion they are. Personally I always thought that hackers out there are much needed to find the exploits within this digitally connect world of ours, sides its good for the economy.........one gear moves another, and another right down the road......where would our great security measures be without someone trying to bust them open??? lol

Losers......far from losers......they are innovators and pioneers that, with a little discipline and what not, can achieve and succeed online and both off......just like everyone else out there....and that's my 2 C3NTs for today.......

Banzai I agree with Xenos you cant say that every hacker is a loser. Im a hacker I have loads of friends and I go out. Some are good and some are bad. You cant judge all hackers by wut some people did. Good hackers find expoits and report to the developers so no one can expoit it. While others expoit them. I am a hacker but I dont do anything bad and im just 14 :laugh:

In the internet world wut it will be like to be without the good hackers. There would be chuos around the internet.

Not trying to make a flame here but I hate people who think all hackers are bad and an loser

Yeah I'm a hacker. Don't expect me to go and do your evil bidding though. I'm a friendly hacker...unless one of you p****s me off :p Other then that..I'm quite friendly. Sure I've done my share of computer hacking..but now..I just don't do it anymore. Like I said. I'm a friendly hacker. :happy:

I hack up code all the time!

well, since you mean cracker, ya i've cracked systems... only to fix them and improve them all without script kiddie packages which isn't much of a feat.

Personally, one of the greatest abilities a cracker can have is the creativity to find loopholes.

Being able to write machine code and assembly is cool.

Nothing is easier then getting into a windows machine... Even fully patched!

Unix machines are much harder, but sometimes admin's get overconfident and once you get into the network, all the machines are easy as pie.

I was thinking if in Neowin are some ex-hackers or hackers or some people that like to get into others peoples pc's using backdoors, trojan or other things to help other people. :blush: :ninja:

Oh you bet!!!! This is just another response to an utterly rediculas topic to increase my post count to reach that "1000 post mark" so I can post yet another dribble topic to let everyone know that I've reach that amount., and the saga continues!!!!

And now a moment of clarity....

Hacker is a term widely distributed throughout all things...Fixing cars, building bridges, playing on computers.

To be a hacker is to have a mindset. Some people say that "hackers" are creative, self thinking, and above all, anti-authoritarian.

The reason the Anti-Authoritarian comes in is because those of us who posess a knowledge so vast and great on a subject, we become hard to control in jobs, and thus bosses are intimidated by these things. Imagination, and Ideas are the only thing that bosses cannot control, that they can't control they will fear.

I am knowledgeable in not only Network Security, but hardware, software, games, technology...I basically learn all that I can about anything. I see things from "outside" the box and therefore am feared not because I may be labeled a hacker by co-workers, but I work to know what I know....THIS makes me a hacker.

And as you know, even if you tech support at some small business, the workers there will think you know how to hack and ask why or how someone did this, or did that. I have been labeled a Black Hat because I may have knew the answer....

Last question: What is the motivation of a virus writer...???
