    Just a dumb question:

    So 14 character passwords are considerably strong right? So what if your password was AAAAAAAAAAAAAA, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa or even AaAaAaAaAaAaAa will that be secure enough?

    no, its not the length that makes it strong so much as the content.

    I agree with seph... I my self can not be considered a good programmer but it doesn't mean I can't download from links your suppose to pay for...
    Learn to ENCRYPT! for god sake.

    No, I haven't considered hacking any site other than paypal yet (just once to get a program!).

    Trust me, you have not hacked paypal. There are very few hackers, most people these days are script-kiddies who use exploits written by crackers or scammers who basically just try to trick you into giving away details/money.

    Crackers can analyse, reverse engineer and rebuild software, but that doesn't mean they understand how it works really.

    True hacking is something more, it's not just about writing exploits and getting entry to shit. It's about probing a system and using the feedback you get to understand how it behaves and reacts so that you that way can compromise it.

    I might have somewhat of a glorified view of hackers but to me it's something that takes effort, it's not malicious per se, it can be used for malicious purposes, but the hacking itself is the process of understanding the system.

    I certainly have a glorified view of hackers. For those kids who feel "left out" I suggest you pick up the book "Little Brother". On top of being a great book for teenagers (and I do mean a great book) it also glorifies the hacker in such a way that will make you rethink security and the digital world around us.

    Depends on who they are and what they are doing.


    The one's who make game mods like no cd cracks are closer to programmers, there are some that just pop into things just for kicks (and prefer the name "crackers") and then is is real hackers who do it to make some real gain...


    The people who "hacked" boxxy could be crackers, but...anyone can do what they did, just email adress, google and some guess work ::)


    My mate claims to be a hacker, never seen him do his work...nor do I want to risk him messing with my pc after the scar i had jacking (leeching) into his unprotected internet :(

    Is there anybody who know the difference between hacker and cracker?
    Cracker is also a hacker, but they usually use their knowledge for up-to-no good things.
    These person that you refer is a cracker.
    Not all hackers are a bad person.

    Crackers usually going stealing people's bank accounts. While hackers usually going modify something just for fun or for work (that doesn't has to do with stealing in the internet).

    Ah, that makes more sence XD

    If you look at it, there are no such thing as a good hacker, if not doing things they aren't meant to be doing, it's just the fact that it's a risk onto it's self to do depending on where and why...


    But if you use the word "hacker" in an EXTREMLY broad sence, all of us here are hackers, we are all downloading stuff we shouldn't and making it do things we shouldn't :p

    Security penetration testers, AKA ethical hackers. They hack to find security flaws, which they then notify the site/network owner of, and in some cases offer help fixing them.
