who r hacker

I feel it is necessary to clarify the term hacker. Perhaps your
definition of a hacker has been influenced and tainted over the
years. There have been various computer related activities
attributed to the term “hacker”, but were greatly misunderstood.
Unfortunately for the people who are truly defined within the
underground tech world as a “hacker” this is an insult to them.
There are various types of “hackers”, each with their own
agenda. My goal is to help protect you from the worst of them.
Anarchist Hackers
These are the individuals who you should be weary of. Their sole
intent on system infiltration is to cause damage or use
information to create havoc. They are primarily the individuals
who are responsible for the majority of system attacks against
home users. They are more likely to be interested in what lies on
another person’s machine for example yours.
Mostly you’ll find that these individuals have slightly above
computer skill level and consider themselves hackers. They
glorify themselves on the accomplishments of others. Their idea
of classing themselves as a hacker is that of acquire programs
and utilities readily available on the net, use these programs with
no real knowledge of how these applications work and if they
manage to “break” into someone’s system class themselves as a
hacker. These individuals are called “Kiddie Hackers.”
They use these programs given to them in a malicious fashion on
anyone they can infect. They have no real purpose to what they
are doing except the fact of saying “Yeah! I broke into <insert
name here> computer!” It gives them bragging rights to their
friends.
If there is any damage to occur in a system being broken into
these individuals will accomplish it.
These individuals are usually high school students. They brag
about their accomplishments to their friends and try to build an
image of being hackers.

Hackers

A hacker by definition believes in access to free information.
They are usually very intelligent people who could care very little
about what you have on your system. Their thrill comes from
system infiltration for information reasons. Hackers unlike
“crackers and anarchist” know being able to break system
security doesn’t make you a hacker any more than adding 2+2
makes you a mathematician. Unfortunately, many journalists
and writers have been fooled into using the word ‘hacker.” They
have attributed any computer related illegal activities to the term
“hacker.”
Real hackers target mainly government institution. They believe
important information can be found within government
institutions. To them the risk is worth it. The higher the security
the better the challenge. The better the challenge the better they
need to be. Who’s the best keyboard cowboy? So to speak!
These individuals come in a variety of age classes. They range
from High School students to University Grads. They are quite
adept at programming and are smart enough to stay out of the
spotlight.
They don’t particularly care about bragging about their
accomplishments as it exposes them to suspicion. They prefer to
work from behind the scenes and preserve their anonymity.
Not all hackers are loners, often you’ll find they have a very tight
circle of associates, but still there is a level of anonymity between
them. An associate of mine once said to me “if they say they are
a hacker, then they’re not!”
