- Computer Hackers are Good People Too!
-
-
- I am writing this artical in hopes of dispelling the general idea that all
- Hackers are terrible teenagers that dwell on Electronic Mischief!
-
- Most Hackers are basically good kids, and the only time they really go forth
- and do anything wrong against someone or some company is when they are quite
- upset at that person or company and have been provoked.
-
- Why do Hackers Hack? Most do it to learn! Thats right learn. What do they
- learn? Well they learn to think, and to think more consisely, presisely, and
- clearly! When hacking onto a mainframe or other system they try to put them
- selves in the place of the programer that designed the security on that system
- and they think like the programer to help themselves figure out how to get
- in. When that code is finnaly broken it is a great feeling, it is a feeling of
- great accomplishment and a feeling of having learned how to get into that type
- of system.
-
- Hackers use more brain power in 1 hours time of hacking than any general
- public person uses in an 8 hour workday!
-
- The general public in it's vast majority, is basically stupid about computers.
- Sorry but that is my shared opinion. After watching a Donahue show on hackers
- and seeing how many people that did not understand the computer field, and
- listening to one lady in particular that said, "I think computers are evil!
- I wont ever let my children use them", which was followed by alot of applause,
- I promptly retorted to the TV screen, "You stupid pepole!". Now with Hospitals
- useing computers that can be called into by other hospitals, a doctor in
- Cleveland can download the medical history of an emergency patient that is
- unconsious, who is from Seattle, and decide what he shouldn't or should
- administer to the patient. All of that in a matter of minutes!
-
- I am especilly suprised that the "Moral Majority" hasn't come forward
- denouncing computers as "Satins New Vise!".
-
- Now back to Hackers, most hackers are as I said good people, and enjoy learning
- what they want to learn, but it seems that everyone is out to get us all and
- more or less punish us for learning on our own and haveing the will to learn!
- Granted also hackers are not the tidyest persons, like me, Oh I dress very
- well and neat, but my room is another story. A trail through the books,
- printouts, news papers. The trail starts at the door and goes to the computer,
- then from the computer to the bed, the desk where I have my computer is well
- organized though.
-
- After examining everything, we have to admit that the new computer generation
- kids are by far the most intellegent & well informed gereration ever in the
- human race! After all most of us may be teenagers, (although I am finnaly out
- of that bracket), but we do read magizines such as "NEWS WEEK", "TIME",
- "US NEWS" and the News paper, watch the eveing news, etc..., we know what is
- happening in our world all of the time. I would put a 10 - 1 odds that if
- you gathered together 200 - 300 or so of the best hackers in the U.S., that
- they could solve our Nations problems, such as the deficit, missle buildup,
- world peace, etc.. , in a fraction of the time it takes Congress to pass
- a bill!
-
- If hackers are so terrible, why is it that there big companys that hire
- hackers to test their systems for security breaks & loopholes? Why are there
- hackers that now make their living at designing security systems?
-
- Hackers Are Here, And They Are Here To Stay!! There is a Hacker saying that
- says; "If some one can make it, some one can break it!
-
- Now there are 5 types of hackers. The good ones are; The Novice, The Student,
- and The Tourist. These 3 are not out to hurt anyone or destroy any data, they
- are just looking around, seeing and learning! It is the other 2 types that
- are the trouble makers and they are; The Crasher, and the Thief. These 2 types
- mostly do not crash a system or steal info for their own enjoyment, even
- though there are some scattered individuals that proabably do. These 2
- do it mostly because they are hired to crash a rivial business's computer
- or steal the new info on a new product. It is these 2 that have hurt the
- integrety of the Hacker!
