sometimes for warez, but the most time to learn to protect myself
and my next target is to help our Children... U will see in the next time what i mean with this Statement

[Xx.l0st.xX]

I chose because i can.
If i coudn't i wouldn't.

I do it to learn how to secure system's.
I see all thies vulnerabilities and viruses and i wonder what is able to compromise
my friends and family's computers.

Its a growing industry and anyone can join. Thats what has frightened me the most. If you are willing to find out for yourself and not ask a question that you can find on a search engine, you can be a "hacker" too. And all thies new vulns and new o/s's means more new viruses.

I've learned so much that i dont need to know and i must say it has been a learning experiance. Morals set a side.

Oh i gotta say this.

This is a shout out to all the People who say stupid n00b/newb/newbie
Have you been elite so long you forgotten before you were a bonafied
"hacker".

if u see it like this
most REAL securety guy's that work with isp's are used to be mainly hackers cuz if you know how to hack somthing u atomaticly know how to diasble it ( securing it )

[beardednose]

coder, is that the ONLY reason you do it?

I thought of another reason--to check up on yur kids

[DJVandal]

I hack because chicks dig it it makes me the most popular guy in the neaighbor hood I have some revenge, and I make tons of mopney doing it ROFL



But seriouslyI hack because I enjoy the challenges and I have met alot of interesting characters in the circles

[beardednose]

When i wrote this, it was interesting to note that out of 96 replies, only

- 2 hacked to attack
- 10 hacked cuz nothing else better to do

Out of 96, only 2 hack to attack. Does that surprise anyone else? I expected that to be much higher.

And 10 of you have nothing else better to do? Perhaps that's more of a function of the choices given in the poll more than anything else. I took this option to mean "Because it's fun". That makes more sense to me.

Comments?

I think Shakespeare said it best when he said:

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

well i "hack" for information and protection... like hacking an isp (small isp that charges 44$ for 7kb/s) i hacked them cuz it's a ripoff... stuff like that... i also like hacking small computer shop pcs that contain nice xml files with the real prices of the pc parts so next time i go shopping i won't get ripped off... sooo basicaly it's for information... but i don't consider myslef a hacker cause most of the time i use exploits already found by real hackers... i'm just a curious guy trying to figure things out...

[Yeaa]

i am new to the whole hacking world i first wanted to learn because i want to get a degree in network secruity but the onlyone that would help me learn anything[this is before i found this site] only showed me how to hack for warez and for warez only but it is fun and a thrill as others say to beable to see how vulerable M$ is and all the big buinesses runing them

Access to the truth, you can get more and release more information by doing it.


Is you favorite company REALLY doing that stuff? (Most of them do stuff that alot of people would have moral obligations against)

How does it work, hmm I can make something better by learning from others mistakes.

It's a puzzle.

Find out who is corrupt and who isn't. Got access to thier e-mail, you usually have access to thier personality (unless it's thier junk mail address).

I'm a white hat in the fact that I never do damage, even if pissed. I differ in that I rarly release exploit I find, or trojan code I write except to my freinds. (Note: I'm usually busy, I only find an exploit on average of once every six months)

I am a securityadmin for a local company in my country, I hack for information as therefor I am able to test my network for vulnerabilities in a good way. I don't believe in firewalls and routers allthough they can be of great help. I also have seen that hackers don't use direct hacking anymore but rather try to break in via other ways like first hacking another department, installing a sniffer and getting that way on the servers.

So there you go, you know my reasons as for some people in here hack for warez and so on ... bad thing very bad thing especially when the board is called "GovernmentSecurity.org Network Security Resources" ... not that smart if you ask me... tho i think eventually admins will find you.
