i want to learn how to hack to understand programs and computers more cause im very interested in them but i dont know who to ask. Also this is a great video :)

@sawaugust Requires a lot of reading and watching videos. I've started about 6 years ago and still got a lot to learn, of course. The best thing to do is get to know your security and your surroundings. The security in real life and online. Understand how viruses work, test them on virtual machines, and understand some basic programming and networking. There is a lot to learn in this field, but it is totally worth it at the end. You'll be more aware of the vulnerabilities..

thanks for the explainaition. it is great for people who just want to learn something from this topic, for starters (people who want to hack themself, for good reasons obviously ;D) or people who are too lazy to look that information up themselves, like me^^

@peffiSC2source No problem! Glad I can help out.

a hacker is a computer hobbyist , a cracker is the term that should be used for what is commonly known as a hacker now-adays , a true hack is playfull and clever , hacktivism is also another subject

[H4x0r18]

@NeutronHex Yes, this is correct. However, it is very sad how many people, specially news reporters claim "hackers" as evil or malicious, when they are actually talking about a cracker. Which makes us, look bad not cool..

@fighterpiolt1992 I understand that. Thats why I just explained there is 4 different definitions determining what a hacker is.
