There is a growing sub culture in our society. This
|
|
|
|
culture is a underground culture that few people truly
|
|
|
|
understand. Some of the "members" of this society do not even
|
|
|
|
fully understand it. I am speaking of the hacking
|
|
|
|
underground.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a very elite culture. It is not elite in the
|
|
|
|
sense that you have to be rich or high born to join it. In
|
|
|
|
actuality it is probably the most fair and non-discrimating
|
|
|
|
culture in existence. To become a member of this mysterious
|
|
|
|
society, all you have to have a some skill in hacking or
|
|
|
|
programing. You will be judged on your skill alone. Race,
|
|
|
|
color, sex or nationality never hinder or aid any single
|
|
|
|
person.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also a very educated society. You must know how to
|
|
|
|
communicate clearly, or you will be thought of as a "lammer".
|
|
|
|
A lammer is a person that brags about being a "hacker" and
|
|
|
|
has little or no skill. Lammers are the wannabe's of the
|
|
|
|
Hacking world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I should take a moment here to clear up what hacking is.
|
|
|
|
Most people just here about credit card fraud, and pirated
|
|
|
|
software. This is a very minor part of hacking. It can be
|
|
|
|
said that it is more of a side effect then a cause. Hackers
|
|
|
|
hack for two reasons, either for fun, or for freedom. most
|
|
|
|
hackers, myself included, fall in the first category. Hacking
|
|
|
|
is basically breaking through highly complex programs to get
|
|
|
|
want you want. When I speak of programs, I don't just speak
|
|
|
|
of just, copy protections or security systems, I am speaking
|
|
|
|
of all programs. Hacking can be as simple as fixing a bug in
|
|
|
|
a program you bought, or as complicated as removing
|
|
|
|
protections form secured systems or programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instance a program called "xxx" has a small bug in
|
|
|
|
it. This bug is not acknowledge by the company that made it,
|
|
|
|
because "Our software is bug free". So a talented program can
|
|
|
|
break into the code and fix the bug. This is a form of
|
|
|
|
hacking, especially if the programer starts handing out
|
|
|
|
miniprograms, called patches, that fix the bug on other
|
|
|
|
poeples computers. Now lets' say that program "xxx" is copy
|
|
|
|
protected and ask you a question, that can only be answered
|
|
|
|
if you have the manual, ever time you load it. This can be
|
|
|
|
very annoying on programs that you use constantly. So the
|
|
|
|
programer again breaks into the code and removes the
|
|
|
|
question. now when he/she loads the program it does not
|
|
|
|
bother him with the question. That is what hacking for fun is
|
|
|
|
all about.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The is a another school of hacking. This school believes
|
|
|
|
that all information should be free. These hackers
|
|
|
|
concentrate on breaking in to major computer systems and
|
|
|
|
distributing the information they find. They believe that
|
|
|
|
God gave man the intelengence to know the difference between
|
|
|
|
dangerous information and "safe" information. They believe
|
|
|
|
that all poeple will be better off if they know everyhting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Hacking Society is very elite. If you try to enter
|
|
|
|
it with no skill, and claim to have it, you will be forced
|
|
|
|
out of it, sometimes violently. If you enter the society as a
|
|
|
|
novice, and say you have no skill, but want to learn, most of
|
|
|
|
the time, the veterans will train the new members.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also elite in another respect. If anyone "messes"
|
|
|
|
with a member of the society, the whole group rallies to
|
|
|
|
his/her aid. For example, let speculate that Mr Smith is a
|
|
|
|
hacker, and Mr. Jones has been giving him a hard time. Mr.
|
|
|
|
Smith mentions this to the society, and several of the
|
|
|
|
members will "talk" to Mr. Jones. The end result is that Mr.
|
|
|
|
Jones no longer bothers Mr. Smith. There is also the infamous
|
|
|
|
"honor among thieves". All members of the society respect the
|
|
|
|
others and always work toghter, or at least not against each
|
|
|
|
other. Occasionally there are a few odd balls who think they
|
|
|
|
are God, and do what ever they want, to whoever they want.
|
|
|
|
These people are put in the place when the everyone else
|
|
|
|
allies against them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basically the Hacking Society is a very elite, and
|
|
|
|
intelligent culture. They are an international group that has
|
|
|
|
no territorial boundaries. If there is a computer, there will
|
|
|
|
be a hacker. This culture is a very subtle, and quiet culture
|
|
|
|
for the most part. They don not want others bothering them,
|
|
|
|
and prefer to be left alone.
