Why hacker?

Question

Why many people ask “how to hack?” or “Where I can learn hacking” Why? Isn’t it bad to hack?

Answer 1

Probably the same edgy people who want to hack using html.

Hacking isn't bad necessarily, there are good and bad people out there.
Without the good hackers the bad ones would have free reign.

The good are there to do things like fix the vulnerabilities out there and update your anti virus scanners to make the internet just a little bit safer overall.

Answer 2

hi, I was MIT-DMS' first network Hacker in 1971. back then that was considered a wonderful thing. I wrote a computer graphics system they use for 10 years that replace their Evans & Sutherland LDS-1, an incredible piece of vector drawing hardware at that time. MIGS my graphics system was written in MDL, DMS's new dialect of LISP. Because of this, I spent several summers working on MIGS with MIT back there in person. I was at USC information sciences institute at the time. Back then we use the ARPANET, the department of defence's network. Which did not become the Internet until 1983.

Answer 5

⚜️JTLZ⚜️[#Never Give Up!] I've been asked similar questions several times.
Here's what I usually tell them.

//You can't just start hacking when you don't have basic knowledge of programming or rather you are not good in programming at all (for advance hacking)...

Questions I ask.....

//We have types of hackers;
-White heart hacker
-Grey heart hacker
-Black heart hacker
Which do you want to be?

//Why do you want to learn hacking?

This type of questions make them fill uncomfortable.

In conclusion:
You can't teach someone to hack. It's either a gift or your good at it..

Answer 6

I think that kids ask such questions. There are dozens of films about hackers. The topic also frequently appears in the news.
"How to make games" is a similar question.

Something you do not ask (at least not so imprecise) if you are a bit familiar with programming.

Answer 15

Well there are to types of hacking

White hat hacking
And black hat hacking

White hat is where you use your hacking skill for good. To help point out design flaws that cant be found by a regular user

Black hat hacking is where you do things that can get you in trouble. Hacking into account. Stealing money etc.

Answer 16

In my head, the 'hacker' parameter has the default value 'Black Hat'.

So basically, whenever I read somewhere in q&a 'How can I become a hacker?' I instead see:

'How can I break into other people's systems (and be it the fb account of their ex) to do damage?'

Answer 17

You should not be confused...
There are bad hackers in the world to steal money from your bank....
be careful !!!!

Answer 18

Sławek J. You did the right thing 👍 in that instance.

The excuse "everyone does it", in NO way makes something that is wrong to be right. It just means that "everyone" that is, is doing something wrong. That excuse "everyone does it", will certainly not hold up in court.

Answer 19

'Hacking’ is something I unfortunately am somewhat good at, injecting dlls and rewriting memory can be very dangerous to the companies, as sometimes memory from the server gets leaked on your client, then inject a dll to it, and boom, full access. But hacking is typically something that kids want to do without learning basic programming.

Answer 20

Ethical or white hat hacking is legal but unethical or Black hat hacking is illegal
