What we're all about, an e+hical pursuit.

Accept and respect. Do not DESTROY other sites, you miss the whole meaning. Defacing websites to support spam, scam, phishing, or terrorism does NOT make you a hacker.

Here, let me explain all over again.

We represent IT Security, protecting ourselves from lack of knowledge, researching, studying, staying as much as possible informed in spite of misdirection, chaos, and deceipt. Our mission statement, is to continue the passion since teenage years, to continue to code, develop, and enable us all to truly be able to comprehend and distinguish the terms between the original groups of the "hackdom" world and the bs. Ex: the hats, (black, white, grey, cracker / hacker), the media still uses the term hacker for malicious intent.
Those references are crap. Even I myself believed it, but even some hackers get hacked by hackers, the posers the false hope, but we still continue to categorize the terms.
I still am passionate of the code, respect the hacker following, and never stop trying. To define the truthful and real differences to the world, best described really as a way of life. We can't enforce better laws to punish only users of the malicious type, who intent real harm. To leave the curious alone? what defines curious? it's a way of life. What is computer gaming all night mean? what is coding all night then? Both passions but with different results. Who cares? just get the job done before the real criminals beat you to it. Are you curious enough to make something you got for dirt cheap work even better ? Beyond the coding, beyond the factory warranty ? Are you patient enough to tolerate the misinterpreted labeling, especially the misunderstandings?
then I think you understand, but are you convinced yet that you truly understand? Beware of the wolves wearing sheepskin.

Merely consider us as inquisitive coders and for now, we use this simple site to experiment with code. Some of which includes the most basic but effective means of web self preservation, and script technologies.

I think we can change the words in which the world defines us


Hacker is a term that is used to mean a variety of different things in computing. Depending on the context, the term can refer to a person in any one of several distinct (but not completely disjoint) communities and subcultures.

(1) People committed to circumvention of computer security. This primarily concerns unauthorized remote computer break-ins via a communication networks such as the Internet (Black hats), but also includes those who debug or fix security problems (White hats), and the morally ambiguous Grey hats. See Hacker (computer security).

(2) A community of enthusiast computer programmers and systems designers, originated in the 1960s around the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) and MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.[2] This community is notable for launching the free software movement. The World Wide Web and the Internet itself are also hacker artifacts. The Request for Comments RFC 1392 amplifies this meaning as "[a] person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular." See Hacker (programmer subculture).

(3) The hobbyist home computing community, focusing on hardware in the late 1970s (e.g. the Homebrew Computer Club)[4] and on software (video games,[5] software cracking, the demoscene) in the 1980s/1990s. The community included Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and Paul Allen and created the personal computing industry.[6] See Hacker (hobbyist).

Today, mainstream usage of "hacker" mostly refers to computer criminals, due to the mass media usage of the word since the 1980s. This includes what hacker slang calls "script kiddies," people breaking into computers using programs written by others, with very little knowledge about the way they work. This usage has become so predominant that the general public is unaware that different meanings exist.[citation needed] While the self-designation of hobbyists as hackers is acknowledged by all three kinds of hackers, and the computer security hackers accept all uses of the word, people from the programmer subculture consider the computer intrusion related usage incorrect, and emphasize the difference between the two by calling security breakers "crackers" (analogous to a safecracker).

Defined : hacker \Hack"er\ ,n.

(1) someone who plays golf poorly

(2) a programmer for whom computing is its own reward; may enjoy the challenge of breaking into other computers

(3) one who works hard at boring tasks [syn: hack, drudge]

A Hacker is a person intensely interested in the arcane and recondite workings of any computer operating system. Most often, hackers are programmers. As such, hackers obtain advanced knowledge of operating systems and programming languages. They may know of holes within systems and the reasons for such holes. Hackers constantly seek further knowledge, freely share what they have discovered, and never, ever intentionally damage data.

A Cracker/attacker is a person who breaks into or otherwise violates the system integrity of remote machines, with malicious intent. Crackers/attackers, having gained unauthorized access, destroy vital data, deny legitimate users service, or basically cause problems for their targets. Crackers can easily be identified because their actions are malicious.

hacker : One who, or that which, hacks. Specifically: A cutting instrument for making notches; 
 esp., one used for notching pine trees in collecting turpentine; a hack.

hacker

   <person, jargon> (Originally, someone who makes furniture with
   an axe) 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of
   programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as
   opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum
   necessary.

   2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who
   enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about
   programming.

   3. A person capable of appreciating hack value

   4. A person who is good at programming quickly.

   5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently
   does work using it or on it; as in a Unix hacker".
   (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit
   them congregate.)

   6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind.  One might be an
   astronomy hacker, for example.

   7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively
   overcoming or circumventing limitations.

   8. (Deprecated) A malicious meddler who tries to discover
   sensitive information by poking around.  Hence "password
   hacker", "network hacker".  The correct term is cracker.

   The term "hacker" also tends to connote membership in the
   global community defined by the network and Internet address
   It also implies that the person
   described is seen to subscribe to some version of the hacker ethic.

   It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to
   describe oneself that way.  Hackers consider themselves
   something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though
   one to which new members are gladly welcome.  Thus while it is
   gratifying to be called a hacker, false claimants to the title
   are quickly labelled as "bogus" or a "wannabee".

   9. (University of Maryland, rare) A programmer who does not
   understand proper programming techniques and principles and
   doesn't have a Computer Science degree.  Someone who just
   bangs on the keyboard until something happens.  For example,
   "This program is nothing but spaghetti code.  It must have
   been written by a hacker".

hacker n. [originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] 1. A

   intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing
   limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover
   sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password hacker',
   `network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is cracker.

   The term `hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global
   community defined by the network and Internet address.
   For discussion of some of the basics of this culture, see the How To
   Become A Hacker (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html) FAQ.
   It also implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some
   version of the hacker ethic (see also hacker ethic).

   It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe
   oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a
   meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are
   gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in
   identifying yourself as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are
   not, you'll quickly be labeled bogus. See also geek wannabee.

   This term seems to have been first adopted as a badge in the 1960s by
   the hacker culture surrounding TMRC and the MIT AI Lab. We have a report
   that it was used in a sense close to this entry's by teenage radio hams
   and electronics tinkerers in the mid-1950s.

        Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers.  "Teenager
Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...
        Damn kids.  They're all alike.

        But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain,
ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker?  Did you ever wonder what
made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?
        I am a hacker, enter my world...
        Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of
the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...
        Damn underachiever.  They're all alike.

        I'm in junior high or high school.  I've listened to teachers explain
for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction.  I understand it.  "No, Ms.
Smith, I didn't show my work.  I did it in my head..."
        Damn kid.  Probably copied it.  They're all alike.

        I made a discovery today.  I found a computer.  Wait a second, this is
cool.  It does what I want it to.  If it makes a mistake, it's because I
screwed it up.  Not because it doesn't like me...
                Or feels threatened by me...
                Or thinks I'm a smart ass...
                Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...
        Damn kid.  All he does is play games.  They're all alike.

        And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through
the phone line like *censored* through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is
sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is
found.
        "This is it... this is where I belong..."
        I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to
them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...
        Damn kid.  Tying up the phone line again.  They're all alike...

        You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at
school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip
through were pre-chewed and tasteless.  We've been dominated by sadists, or
ignored by the apathetic.  The few that had something to teach found us will-
ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

        This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud.  We make use of a service already existing without paying
for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and
you call us criminals.  We explore... and you call us criminals.  We seek
after knowledge... and you call us criminals.  We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us
and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

        Yes, I am a criminal.  My crime is that of curiosity.  My crime is
that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for.

        I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto.  You may stop this individual,
but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
