Hackers and Crackers
I reject the way the Colombian and international press has presented the news about the attacks to major global web sites like Yahoo, CNN, Amazon, etc., Since the majority has confused two characters of the network can not be mistaken for anything . The Hacker is one of the good. Start from children. "The guy who as a boy begins to disarm the little car is a hackercito. To this must be looked after, not content to play as is," he said in an interview the year before Snetinelli Daniel, a former hacker who now earns advising life companies in the broad area of computer security. There are many "commandments" and "ethical standards" that the same hackers have been imposed, though the most publicized until today, are contained in Steven Levy's book Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution (Hackers, Heroes of Information Revolution). Here are some of them: * Access to computers and anything that might teach you something about how the world works should be complete and unlimited. * All information should be free and / or free. * Beware of the authority. We need to promote decentralization. * Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position. * Never intentionally shred anything in the computer you are hacking. * Amendment to only those files that may be required to avoid detection and secure your future access to your system. * Never leave your real address, your name or your phone on any system, no matter how safe you think it is. * Be careful who you pass information. If possible, do not pass anything to anyone which does not know his voice, phone number and real name. * Never hack into government computers. The government can afford to spend funds for you, while universities and private companies do not.
In short, a hacker is a person versed in the workings of operating systems. Tends to have much knowledge in programming languages and is very discreet. Also known most of the holes in an operating system or Internet protocols. Those who do not know the search and the only way is to try to look into other computer systems or server. The Hacker is only moved by curiosity, the desire to learn or to learn new things, self-fulfillment. They are not harmful but simply geniuses in search of the error and truth. Hacking is not his job, only his hobby. Hacking is a non-profit activity. They share their information free and disinterested, but obviously as it affects human vanity, disseminate such information to you of the merits of their work.
The Crackers, however, are part of the team from the bad. Are introduced in any remote system with the intent to destroy data, deny service to legitimate users, hold the information, make a server on the network and generally cause problems. The Hacker creates its own programs while Cracker is based on ready-made programs that can be acquired, usually via the Internet. The Cracker is a criminal. Often acts as a virtual real terrorist.
For all this is that we should never confuse these two netizens. In addition, because all we know turn on a computer we want or want to be a hacker and very few of the ones who do are passed "to the dark side of force" and end up being "a lower form of life."
