Who The Hackers Are ?

The hackers are just like us. Made of same flesh and bones but think differently. What normal people cannot think even in their dreams, hackers can do that in reality.

The hackers possess higher degree of attitude and fortitude. Whatever they do is for humanity. They are responsible for the modern day technology and they have developed the techniques to cop with future problems. They are responsible for creating and updating the top security systems. Think about it, if hackers will be absent from our society, then, our society will be totally unable to secure the country and will be considered as a dull society.

A rough picture of hackers is shown in Hollywood movies, making them heroes of the modern society. But actually hackers are more than that. The Hollywood hackers cannot withstand the modern day detection and prevention systems.

What they are shown doing was done few years back.

Nowadays hackers have to be more intelligent & more creative. And must have to guess what they are going to tackle in few moments ahead.

The hacking world is much more glamorous than the fashionable modeling world. It’s fascinating, because impossible looking jobs are done successfully. 

Moreover you really need not to spend a huge amount of money for it.

What is invested is you brain, intelligence & the time. And it makes you live in two different worlds, a real world in which you are currently leaving and the other, the virtual world. Imagine if a same person leaving in two different

worlds.

The hackers may have two different characters in both worlds. Yes every kind of virtual netizens (the virtual citizens) have a different name and address, which may or may not point to their real world character. Hackers have a different name called HANDLE, a different address, and homes in virtual world and all these things must not point to their real names addresses. These things are the mustfor the black hats; white hat hackers may have their nicknames or real names as their handler. It is always better to do all the good stuff with your real names, isn’t

it?

Like in real world, the virtual world is also full of two sides, where in one side few people are always trying to crackdown the systems and few people are in other side defending the valuable resources from such guys. Well friends, we are not going to call all such attacking guys as bad guys because, they may be doing this whole stuff for the sake of their countries welfare, for the sake

of defense services, for investigating the criminal activities or for the sake of study as most of the hackers are not financially sound to emulate the real security

systems so they have to try a hand on the real world working systems or for any other reason.

Well friends, the another strong reason for hacking is the information itself, if precious may give you a lots of money and this business is hundred times better than real criminal activities as the law implementations are not so

strong enough for legal prosecution.

Also, the cracked side may never want itself to be disclosed as a victim and publicized as a breached party for business reasons and for the sake of not losing their clients.

The good hacker always informs the victims after a successful break-in. I bet you they might respect you if you do it and may offer you a good amount for the

exhaustive security penetration testing.

The history is proof itself that none of the hackers are imprisoned long for real big-big scams. Instead, they got the name & fame. Thus several corporations get behind them to own their creativity. The examples are, Morris, Kevin

Mitnik etc.

Morris is known for famous morris worm, which brought more than 75% of Internet down in its earlier infection within few hours. Morris was just doing his bachelors degree at that time. Kevin Mitnik is known for the impossible state

of the art hacks.

There are several Hollywood movies inspired by Mitnick’s hacks.

Remember, the advanced countries are advanced not just by their wealth, but in technologies also. And these countries are advanced because they know how to protect themselves and their wealth. And no one other than a hacker can

provide a better security.

Even in the modern wars & terrorism the countries having effective hacking skills and technologies are secure enough than those, which do not have ultra advanced technologies.

The time is the best proof that even in world wars, the First World War was prevailed by the tanks and minimal air strike technologies. While Second World War was prevailed by new technology guns, bombs, submarines, encryption

machines and air power and the war condition were changed by Atomic bombs.

All in all, the technology dominates everywhere.
