ameris_cyning 250 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Just curious Me, I never use it. Hell, I don't think I am one. I don't have the hacker ethic, but I like to {censored} around and change {censored} that wasn't meant to be changed. I consider hackers to be those who have the hacker ethic and love to {censored} around and change {censored} up. Mainstream, unfortunately, confuses them with criminals.

edebca0c 5 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I generally don't call myself a hacker because the world has such a warped view of what hacking really is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3.14r2 276 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 @q64ceo You are inquisitive experimenter - not hacker As for me, I find it interesting/entertaining to do something that is not easy to accomplish (in the field of computing mainly). Hackers have the other forum (MDL) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Xtreme 260 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 A hacker in my view is someone who modifies something to suit there needs so I beleive we are all hackers . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.j.aguirre 7 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 There are very few real hackers. Most of us "hackers" today are script kiddies; using exploits and patches that others have written. I don't see myself as a hacker. I'm not that intelligent with that type of stuff. I think it would be cool to, but, I'm not. Some hackers are malicious. But, not all. Some just want to find holes in something just to see if they can. A lot of them actually report to sys admins when they find one. Hell, some companies pay people if they find exploits in their software. My $0.02. Poop. I didn't realize, thread necromancy . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was the old definition for many people due to you having to build your computer and not get it pre-made boy making a computer must have been hard work .

kosakgroove 220 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I consider myself a life hacker. I like to poke around everything and uncover its full capabilities. I tweak, I study it, I do whatever it takes to make it suit my needs. That's the type of person I am anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
