Hackosis has put into words the true definition of a hacker. Many have tried before, but most failed. The ones that came close told of a similar concept but didn't elaborate enough for most people to understand. The following questions are put forth, so ask yourself:
- Do you experience a never ending hunger for information?
- Do you enjoy solving problems?
- Do you shoot to kill?
- Are you never bored?
- Do you embrace free spirit?
- Are you compassionate about what you do?
- Do you do what you enjoy and enjoy what you do?
So? How do you stack up? Hacking isn't about breaking into computers and networks. That's just how the media has sullied the word. A hacker is someone who is intrigued by how things work and enjoys learning how they work, which is sometimes a difficult task. Hackers fall into a lifestyle a friend of mine coined a few years ago, "intellectual hedonism". We enjoy picking apart what most people would consider the most innane systems just to learn how they operate. Because of this, hackers enjoy a life of accomplishment, whether its known to the world or not.
By the way, this Hackosis blog is amazing. I've seen alot of hacker blogs around but this is one of the best I've ever seen. No fluff on this one, it just gets right down to business.
