The Ethics of Hacking

[Bret Walker]

From Mentor in the LOD/H technical journal:

• Do not intentionally damage any system.
  
• Do not alter any system files other than ones needed to ensure your escape from detection and your future access.
  
• Do not leave your (or anyone else's) real name, real handle, or real phone number on any system that you access illegally.
  
• Be careful who you share information with.
  
• Do not leave your real phone number to anyone you don't know.
  
• Do not hack government computers.
  
• Don't use codes unless there is NO way around it.
  
• Don't be afraid to be paranoid.
  
• Watch what you post on boards.
  
• Don't be afraid to ask questions.
  
• You have to actually hack.

i want to learn to hack.... i cant find anyone or anything to teach me...im now sad

[Bret Walker]

First, pick up the Complete Hacker's Handbook by Dr. K.  Also pick up anti-hacking manuals, as they are full of cool info.  Hang out on Hacker boards, read hacker journals like 2600 Magazine and The Register.  Get involved in hacker groups and ask questions.  Most legitimate hackers would not be above helping a n00b who genuinely wants to learn.  After all, pure hacking is all about learning, not destroying or disrupting.

since I've seen the movie Hackers about 20 times does that make me a [glow=red,2,300]1337  super |-|@><0R?[/glow]

[Bret Walker]

Um, yeah sure.  In fact, you're so 1337, you should go on the BBS at 2600.com and tell them how 1337 you are.  They appreciate confidence like that  ;D

I meant what I said about you being my favorite CFJer.  Again, don't ask me why, you just are.

yes everyone loves clay...nobody knows why...but we do...he needs ti post more though...he barly ever posts now...

and yea blackpope gave me a couple sites... from the hour or so iv talked to him hes a pimped up hacker

[0neweeknosebleed]

I don't really like him because he has to say I go to mtv.com all the time... I post music that I like... even if its off of mtv.com I don't go there directly... and plus the only time I posted any thing from mtv.com is when that dude OD'd

[Bret Walker]

Don't worry so much what Blackpope or others think.  If you want to post music news without people ragging on you, post it on here  ;D Otherwise I say keep on trucking, and fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

Right on Max. Who cares if it's popular or whatever--if you like it, that is all that matters. I appreciate being exposed to new music, i don't care where it comes from--so fuck people on cfh that give you shit, they are just trying to put you down because they think they are "cooler" than you, and some people just make fun because they are bored.

But like Max said, you could always post here--this is the happy vacation away from cfh, or at least it's my happy place.

I thought talking to me was your happy place Green!!! Dammit! Don't ever speak to me! Ever again!

Wait I can't be mad! I love you too damn much!![glow=green,2,300]*smooooooccch!*[/glow]
