|
|
|
|
|
|
<P> If you read past issues of The Answer Gang, you'll see that we do not
|
|
offer help for cracking networks. But you will find much of entertainment,
|
|
and may learn a thing or two about Linux.
|
|
|
|
<P> If you type "hack,hacking,hacker" (that's "hack OR hacking OR hacker")
|
|
in the LG search engine, you will see several articles about hacking.
|
|
[Note: the search engine was changed after this was written, and comma-OR
|
|
no longer works.] But you
|
|
will discover that the word has a different meaning than how you are using it.
|
|
Hacking means spending long hours at the computer doing trial-and-error
|
|
experiments, and making new discoveries about how the system works or creating
|
|
new generally-useful programs. Breaking into somebody else's computer is a
|
|
whole different activity, and the term for this is "cracking".
|
|
|
|
<P> Of course if you're in the US, there's a bill in Congress now that would
|
|
<A HREF="lg_bytes71.html#legislation">equate cracking with terrorism</A> and
|
|
land you life in prison.

Wait for the teacher to let you into class, turn it on, then wait for him

or her to tell you all the class login ID.

...why I paid so much for community college (gosh I could go to the movies

a few times or buy some great clothes) when I hate computers, but then I

remember someone saying there's a bunch of money in computers, so I really

ought to get into one.

Unless we can transmute our daemon processes into vampires by attaching

those fangs to them.
