Hackers and hax0rz

Post by Neo »

So, who exactly were the "script kiddies?" Were those the people who made the worms and the loveletter things? And when exactly did the hax0rz become known to gamers? What's the difference between them and the "real hackers?"

i consider hackers black/white to be noble people.

but script kiddies are just that. kids breaking windows, kicking holes in walls and spraypainting crap everywhere just to be asses. "script kiddies" are not a clan/hacker group or anything, it's a nickname/slur for these annoying little freaks. annoying little freaks on powertrips because they went out and downloaded a gun in software form. of course they often know little about what they are truly doing, they know a little but fake the rest for "respec' yo".
oh, yeah they are called scrpt kiddies because they don't make their own programs like they pros do, they use prewritten crap, "Scripts" if you will, using portscanning software to go around the net systematically looking for targets to "show their skillz yo". like they are following a script, ie: little imagination.

white/black hats are as xciter says (although i'm not sure if he got them the right way around). blackhats are the coolest thing on earth :)

yup, script kiddies are just brats and wannabie noob h@xors. they dont know any programming and/or coding. they just cause ★■◆● and get busted in the process.

"REAL" hackers as already said, will deliver and/or take what they want, and leave no trace for a user to find out. the only thing they find out is something is missing or rendered inoperable.

as soon as gamers realised that: "blackhats are the coolest thing on earth"

Descenters are gamers, so same time.

Yeah, I wasn't kidding. I wanted to know because I wasn't here when all this started.

There is also a distinction between hackers and crackers.

Neo you would get a lot outof reading some stuff on the net about it all. i'm not sure where to start though.
i could email you an online non-fiction novel called "Absolute Zero" if you want. i downloaded it from a bulletinboard (ie: not the net) many years ago (still havn't finished reading it) and it'l probabaly give you a good background.
