degoba Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Depends on how much you know about all the stuff that is going on. If you understand everything, and are just too lazy to code something yourself then you are just a lazy hacker. If you have no idea what is going on, and only know that at somepoing you are going to hit upon an exploit then you are a script kiddie.

ben Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm going to go against most of you and say that you can't tell if someone is a hacker by what programs they use. Just because they use sub7 doesn't mean they are a noob. sub7 may be the best tool for the job. I've said before, do you know of a hacker that doesn't use a tool like Nmap, Metasploit, Ettercap, etc.?? Just because they use someone else's program doesn't make them a noob, it may just mean that someone else already did the hard work and why should they replicate code? As degoba said, it really depends on how much you understand. A hacker is someone who understands why and how things happen. If you use sub7 "because it works" then you are a noob. If you know how sub7 works then you may be a hacker. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenty Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 So my question is even though we keep calling people who play with systems "hackers" should they really be referd to as "crackers" as the original definition of a "hacker" I've read originally defined only "hacking" code and not actually breaking into computer systems? Or have I got it arse about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Its a gray area... despite what people say, the term "hacker" is synonymous with "one who breaks into computers" in the public forum. to further muddy the waters there are the terms: white hat gray hat black hat So i would say, the intent behind your actions denotes your hacker/cracker status.

limpep Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I have to agree with degoba. its one thing using the program and a second thing know how the program works. So the key is not using the program but know how the program works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
