What is "hacker "?

 "Hackers are an attitude ."

When talking about "hackers", many people may think of the series of "black guest empire" movies. I have to say this is a very classic series of hard sci-fi movies, but unfortunately, this name is a free translation, the English name is "The Matrix". The Chinese meaning should be "mother" and "uterus". At the beginning of this movie, there was a hacker-like plot, therefore, Chinese agents named the movie "The Matrix of hackers" out of context. (The same is true for the movie. In fact, the movie has nothing to do with the "Chainsaw, only some people claim to be saw, but saw means "vertical saw ).

There are also many people who often hear on TV that "a hacker intruded into the system of XXX company, resulting in a loss of RMB" and think that hackers are the ones who use computer technology to sabotage the system; in fact, this idea is misled by the media. Such people should be called "hackers ".

If you have been to "hacker base" and other websites about "hackers", you will often see various advertisements such as "Hacking", "Trojan", and "zombie, in fact, they are not hackers, and they should also be called "hackers ".

So what is "hacker?

In fact, to know what a hacker is, we need to differentiate several concepts:Hacker, cracker, Honker, and script kiddie).

 

Hacker)

Hackers are obsessed with computers and their related fields and are extremely skilled. Hackers are always happy to study new technologies, develop and utilize new features of old technologies, or simply want to know the stability and rationality of a system and use unconventional methods for testing. Hackers are born with agile divergent thinking and great creativity. They can always think of things unexpected by ordinary people. Ken Thompson, the father of UNIX, is a hacker and denas thowaz, the father of Linux (Linus Torvalds) Is a hacker, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) Is also a hacker. Hackers often focus on technology and the future.

 

Cracker)

Hackers also like to study computer technology and have good skills, but the biggest difference with hackers is that the behavior of hackers is often destructive or immoral. Hackers often use technology to maliciously damage, tamper with computer systems, steal confidential information, or create and spread computer viruses. The reason hackers do so is often to make profits or simply to gloat.

 

Honker)

Hongke is a special concept. It is a Chinese patriot with superb computer technology. When China's sovereignty and reputation are violated, Hongke will fight back to protest. Hongke is committed to science information security knowledge and improving China's network security. Hongke is a patriotic spirit and does not belong to any organization or individual. There are many red guest alliances in China, but they do not have the spirit of being a red guest or a red guest. If they do not join the Red guest alliance, they will also be an outstanding red guest.

 

Script kiddie)

Script kiddies do not have a high level of computer skills, or even basic computer operations, but script kiddies will use scripts orProgramMostly children (Primary School Students !?), So it is called script kiddies. Never underestimate the script kiddies. Although the technology is weak, it has powerful tools, a large number of groups, and devastating destructive power. In fact, more than 80% of hacker behaviors on the Internet are all done by the script kiddies. Script kiddies usually generate tools from hackers, or some tests written by hackers to prove they have discovered a vulnerability.CodeScript kiddies are good at collecting such tools and code and using them without any consequence or principles.

 

After reading the above instructions, is the concept clear? My ideal is to become a real hacker.

Hackers are a kind of spirit. It is precisely because of those great hackers that computer technology has been so powerful in just half a century. As a technician in the computer field, we should respect the hacker spirit and explore and create it with pleasure. This will be very beneficial to ourselves and the development of computer technology. Apart from hackers, other items have nothing to do with technology. They are social, political, and educational issues.

In fact, hackers are also an attitude towards life. As the saying goes: "live to the old, learn to get old ." In fact, learning is not completely linked to the school. The school is dispensable, but learning is what we have to do all our life. hackers are a positive embodiment of learning and include innovation and creation. By working with hackers, you will be able to constantly discover good work methods, improve work efficiency, and enjoy a good salary with good performance, the benefits of the work unit will also be improved; using hacker attitudes to communicate with people will never make people feel dull, and you can find skills to get along with everyone through analysis and summarization, this increases your popularity and makes the entire social circle harmonious.

If you maintain a hacker attitude in your life, you will eventually find that life is not as black as the hacker's name.
