condor Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I ,for one, appreciate the rant. Got me all 'giddy' inside. The masses (bovine-america?) seem to thrive in obfuscation. What they do not know, they do not know for a reason. Curiosity is the mother of all invention, right? So what is wrong with making the effort of understanding complexities? Like pulse-code modulation. Like the layers of the OSI. Hell metasploit and even tcpdump are pretty complex, if you ask me. Why is it that when I go to the the gun range, and have perfect 3-shot groupings in the upper-torso I get a hi-five. But if I were to tell the same guys that last night I finally figured out how to effectively kick someone off their router and deceive them onto a router running jasager/karma; creating the ultimate MITM foundation, these men become stand-off-ish and even down right rude? Didn't we just get done 'pretending' to shoot someone? And I think I did rather well at that. I just like knowing things. Sometimes I wish I was more like the more 'famous' hackers out there, seemingly able to figure out ANY tech problem on their own like a kid-genius. However I must ask questions sometimes. These questions get people all kinds of bent. Like they can just assume they know what I'm REALLY trying to learn. Give it a break. We are coming and there is nothing you can do to STOP it. Slow us down, you will, public, but we have your best interests in mind. Collectively, at least. --Chris Laws (there went my annonymity too) Edited November 19, 2012 by condor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnd2Pwnr Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Being a hacker introduces principles that most people do not understand. The perception is that you will steal their goodies; DoS their pages; or release vital information to the world... really, a plethora of things. Humans have always been "Hackers"... taking one object and modifying that object to their specs (or at least for what they want to see). Saying a computer hacker is any different than a sports car enthusiast really needs to step back and realize, "Hey, these are actually very similar thing.". Meaning, as one tunes their car for more performance; a hacker tunes leaf CAs and sniff radio/wifi traffic. Why do we do it? We enjoy the thrill of getting something done and not a lot of other people have any clue what the hell we are doing (sports car enthusiast included). Hackers will always be around; just make sure that you play nicely... never want to see some Feds with an indictment.
