What is HACKING?

What is HACKING?
(Must read all)

It's hard to argue about the true meaning of a word 'Hacking'.

A word means whatever people use it to mean.
Still, understanding the etymological history of the word "hacker'' may help in understanding the current social situation.

The concept of hacking entered the computer culture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1960s.
Popular opinion at MIT posited that there are two kinds of students, tools and hackers.

A "tool'' is someone who attends class regularly, is always to be found in the library when no class is meeting, and gets straight As.
A "hacker'' is the opposite: someone who never goes to class, who in fact sleeps all day, and who spends the night pursuing recreational activities rather than studying. There was thought to be no middle ground.
What does this have to do with computers? Originally, nothing.
But there are standards for success as a hacker, just as grades form a standard for success as a tool.

The true hacker can't just sit around all night; he must pursue some hobby with dedication and flair with computers.



In 1986, the word ``hacker'' is generally used among MIT students to refer not to computer hackers but to building hackers, people who explore roofs and tunnels where they're not supposed to be.
A "computer hacker,'' then, is someone who lives and breathes computers, who knows all about computers, who can get a computer to do anything.

Computer programming must be a hobby, something done for fun or for security purpose, not out of a sense of duty or for the money. (It's okay to make money, but that can't be the reason for hacking.)

Today hacking is considered as breaking the system.
Its now known as atteck on the computers and internet.

Yeah it is !
Hacking is a biggest fear of programmers and developer and a funny game for hackers and crackers.
Today hackers are mostly define as the atteckers on internet websites.

Why not?
Today whole computer concepts is about networking.
And the world is depend on Internet.
Banking, Documents, Files, Datas, shopping, helplines, records, work and even reletionships etc. everything.

all these things are now available on internet websites .
and hackers hack those websites and access info without authority permissions.
