Yep. A webpage about hackers. No, not that kind of hacker. The real
kind. What the general public think a hacker is is quite inaccurate. Not
really a surprise. The general public tend to be wrong on a lot of
things. What is commonly thought of as a hacker is more accurately a
system cracker. Of course, you
don't hear that on TV. They're too busy slandering hackers. They fail
to mention that for every "hacker" caught, a lot of other
hackers helped catch that one. This webpage is an attempt to better
educate people about real hackers. What you learn may surprise you.
You could be a hacker and not know it.
