"Hacking & Chess" ============================= Written by: Ulyss3s I asked myself lots of times - why do some people wannabe hackers? And the only answer that came into my mind was celebrity.I mean mass-media had and has a bad influence upon the world of hackers.People watch a stupid movie about hackers penetrating Pentagon's super-computers in a minute, and think this is the essence of hacking.They think hacking is easy and fun, they think it involves nothing but some skills in the field of Internet.Or worse, we read in magazines or newspapers about kids who hacked (usually by mistake) important websites.This is an artificial image. Ask anybody what does he/she think a hacker is.The answer will be in 90% of cases:a person who is able to enter a restricted area of a computer system.Or we could say hacking is the american way of a teenager.After all, first hackers were in USA. So, you that read this material may ask yourself:why do we need to hear this? Because you could be one of those ignorants who do not know what a hacker is.Then what is a hacker? Well, the answer isn't simple.There is no definition of the term , still there are some aspects that appear in the case of any such person: curiosity, intelligence, patience, an obsessive interest in Information Technology. Much simpler, we could say what a hacker is NOT:a hacker is not a cracker, or a script-kiddie.A hacker never speaks about his achievements or goals, never damages any data or system (except cleaning his tracks), just explores restricted areas where normal users can't enter.A hacker ALWAYS desires to learn more and more. All you wannabe's may now ask yourself if you stil want to become a hacker.If hard work doesn't bother you then you may step to the next level.This is a MAJOR point in your future hacking activities.Many of you may hurry.Don't forget:hacking means PATIENCE. Now you should start learning some basic hacking skills.Read everything that you can and remember:nobody can teach you how to become a hacker except YOU.Reading is the key to the world of hackers.So go out there on the net and search for knowledge.Search for any available tutorial, for any source of knowledge.You will learn a lot if you have patience.Always think before doing something that you may regret later so DO NOT try to hack the first system you .Hacking isn't for fame, money or pleasure, you hack because you have some GOOD reasons to do so.If you understand this, then you are on the right way. Another important thing is dealing with true hackers when you are just a newbie.There are some things case-sensitive: never ask a stupid question like "will you teach me how to hack?".Usually you will be ignored or worse, flamed.Be cool and don't ask too many questions. Finding a would be great for you. Still want to become a hacker? Well, you have your chance to go and conquer the world.Your advantage is that on the Internet we are all the same; the only difference is each one's brain. Whenever you think about hackers remeber this: a hacker is a chess player who's table is the electronic world.It's not a one-night adventure but a passion for a lifetime which requires a lot of work and brings only few satisfactions.Patience and intelligence is everything.
