The wonderful world of hacking(Software)

People use this term too often and it diminishes the value of the word.

This article is to talk about the general aspect of hacking.

Lets talk about different types of hackers.

1) White Hats - They are people that hack in legitimate ways for example using their knowledge of php and the hackers try to hack into the database system to test the security of the system. They often are employed by companies to do this(Those IT security people)

2) Grey Hats - They are people that hack on borderline legality. Sometime do for good sometimes for bad

3) Black Hats - They are people that hack illegally for example hacking close source software/ into bank credit card accounts etc.

4) Script Kiddie - They are often people like Singaporeans who boast that they are hacking but just using people's program/script to do the work. Often the users do not have any idea what the hell is happening with the program.

5) Hacktivist - Hackers that hack for some political thingy. (An example that is not political is the rickroll video which some hackers(not software) hacked the TV line to change the television programming of the singer of the rickroll to his video) LMAO

6) "Trusted" Employee - Prob a category of hackers who have administrator access to the company server/database and want to use this power to do good/bad maybe he wanna shutdown the company's server because he have his pay deducted (My friend Pee Eng requested me to do this as it is a more serious threat to the business world. Thanks Uh :D)

Being a hacker requires you to be very smart, think out of the box and have an complete and detail understanding on the things that you wanna hack. That is why if you want to hack a software you will need to understand coding, understand how it works, the vunerabilty of the software that you might take advantage of etc etc... You wanna hack a network, complete you understanding on how the network works, maybe send a packet sniffer or two.

For those who really wants to learn computer/software hacking. Learn software coding first and make sure you know and understand everything before you start thinking on hacking.

For now just use scripts you kiddies :P.
