Hackers are the elite corps of computer designers and programmers. They like to see themselves as the wizards and warriors of tech. Designing software and inventing algorithms can involve bravura intellection, and tinkering with them is as much fun as fiddling with engines. Hackers have their own culture, their own language. And in the off-hours, they can turn their ingenuity to sparring with enemies on the Nets, or to the midnight stroll through systems you should not be able to enter, were you not so very clever. Dark-side hackers, or crackers, slip into systems for the smash-and-grab, but most hackers are in it for the virtuoso ingress.
In few line the real hacker is somone who
1.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.programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
3.is good at programming quickly.
4.is an expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a Unix hacker'.
5.is an expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example.
6.enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.
7. 1. is 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 guys who "Hack" you as you say are cracker, try to remember it, and stop telling, hacker when somnoe got "hacked" cracker are there to get defense down, like defense on software, these one are cracker....... but take care, Most of the cracker are in The Underground Community, maybe the problem of "hacks" will stop there, or they will come back harder. Dont mess with them.

Ha, the "script kiddies" aren't even truely underground, they are more than likely wanna-be's that just recently learned how to open a command shell. What do you mean don't mess with them, I hope they are caught and the law messes with them big time, especially the part where their parents have to bail them out of jail and their computers are taken away from them.

Whoa, haven't seen this much romanticism since Pirates of the Caribbean. It's the number one reason script kiddies exist in the first place, they all wanna-be a Real Pirate.

Jocan, you are slightly missing the point of the difference between a cracker and a hacker.
With the definition you gave, that person is not a cracker. If you decrypt a password file.. your a password cracker, not a password hacker. If you break computer security to gain access to the file, then your a hacker. If you break network security to gain access to group of computers, your a network hacker. If you circumvent a program or file security protocol with primary access to the file/program, then your a cracker. If you do circumvent security (of anything) remotely, or with remote means, then you are a hacker.
They are both similar... although a cracker usually has more experience in how programs work on the low (machine) level, as apposed to a hacker who has more experience on how protocols and program interaction work on a low level.

That is the same kind of mentality that allows gangs to run neighborhoods. If they are indeed part of some Underground Community" with secret codes and such what is the likelyhood that this kind of stuff is known to you? You'ld think it would be secret since it is "underground."jocan2003 said:
Are you sure you aren't one of the "script-kiddies" who had a hand in this, and this is some lame attempt to keep from getting in trouble over it?
I, personally, equate people who do these DOS attacks with people who download boot programs to kick people out of chatrooms. They think they are some kind of cyber-terrorist and run around saying things like, "w3 ownz3r this room d3wd." As if "owning" a chatroom in yahoo is something to aspire to.

That was all nice reading ... but lets not hijack the original topic.
Any more news or updates on the 1.0.0 release?
