Darren Kitchen Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Darren Kitchen, hacker and host of tech show Hak5, says why hacking isn't the same thing as cyber crime. Jorge Ribas sits down with him to find out the difference. http://www.hak5.org/backstage/hackers-versus-cyber-criminals The is the first part of a series. Stay tuned for more next week.

Netshroud Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Nice. Loved the difference between a hacker and a security expert being a paycheck. I realised this after watching it - Medicine is just biological hacking. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Damn fine piece. Glad to see that out there... On a different note. It would be wonderful if major corporations learned the same thing. Case in point. This is cut and paste from an undisclosed major entry level networking curriculum. "The term hacker originally meant someone who delved deeply into computer systems to understand, and perhaps exploit for creative reasons, the structure and complexity of a system. Today, the terms hacker and cracker have come to mean malicious intruders who enter systems as criminals and steal data or deliberately harm systems.Hackers intent on doing harm are able to exploit weak security measures." I think they need to learn the two terms 'cyber criminal' and 'script kiddy', and write that backwards from the way they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hackers intent on doing harm are able to exploit weak security measures. What about strong security measures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sud0x3 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I wish my family would understand this, in there eyes hacking is illegal and i don't think that will ever change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanquish.security Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Once they finalize the cyber laws, you can defend yourself if you ever get caught one day. Then you would be able to argue your case; eg. stealing bank information vs. finding security holes on a website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
