I often see this lens in the movie: a computer master is sitting in front of the computer, tapping a few keyboards, then yelling, all sites are raised or invaded, or being tampered with. It seems to be "beautiful scenery", especially in recent "black" incident, one time "hacker" is sent to God and God. Criminal suppression or cowboy:
What is "hacker"
Generally we manage those illegally invading people's website, peek at the computer information through the network, tampering with the website of others or hard disk, is called "Cracker", simply, is specially built into the computer system. So, is they the "hacker" we said? actually not.
The English language of "hacker" should be "Hacker", the original intention is "opening, creating", which means that "hacker" should be a person who opens up the way. What we said "Cracker" (Chinese: hacker) means "decrypt, decipher" means. However, because the two words have been generally mixed as "hackers", we have emphasized what "hackers and hackers" have no practical meaning. But in order to give you a comprehensive understanding, let's take a look at the historical background.
The hacker's name originated from the laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from the 1970s, originated from a shared network spirit. At that time, a large number of high-tech talents were gathered, they were proficient in computer science and related science, with the fun of life, to assess their value with scientific achievements, with time promotion, they gradually formed a unique culture, It is hacker culture. The main performance is that geniuses use their technology to commercial production, but entrepreneurs or ordinary users are free, and there is no need to pay to researchers (enterprises can provide some sponsorship to the experiment). The hacker provides you with the software you develop free to everyone, many free software we are familiar with this new era (of course, the word hacker has been distorted), such as Linux, Winamp.
The "hacker" we often say today should be called hacker. Who is the hacker? The answer is very simple: they are what we often say "information thieves", which specialize in deciphering passwords. The hacker is a very mysterious group that acts secret, not easy to explain his identity. Due to this mystery, many people want to understand them, but just like a lot of things in the world, they don't understand it. Many of these hackers have some illegal purposes, they secretly contact, often destroy some legal websites, bringing a lot of problems to the network, and even hacker organizations actually dare to use their own technology to fight against government confrontation. In general, the hacker is not a good behavior, although some people feel embarrassed, now, in addition to the system destruction, the hacker does not seem to make a good thing for computer development. This is probably a hacker and hacker, the most fundamental difference.
Who is "hacker"?
Many people may have such questions - what kind of person is the hacker? What are the benefits of destroying someone else's website?
If the hacker is not fixed, everyone may become a hacker, as long as you know some related networks and computer knowledge (of course, the master). I have a friend who said to me: "Don't think that the hacker is a strong man who is a light yarn. It is not allowed to send yogurt in the joy, and you can go home to go home. Homepage Black; don't think that the hacker is a five major three thick and eyebrows, saying that it is a white-collar collar of the ×× President's electronic mailbox yesterday. "
The hacker's behavior cannot be evaluated in our normal vision, as for those who have to play the authentic war with a notebook into the stock exchange, they can't get it with the hacker half, and those who invade others's computer theft information. It is only a very few part of the hacker. Don't look at the hacker, I don't know if my friends have seen the movie "Independence Day"? Among them, the cannons, missiles, nuclear weapons have failed, and finally the computer virus uploaded by hackers requires all the aliens' little life. During the death of traditional hackers, more and more hackers have begun to integrate with business society, their technical demonstration is more like "show", the act of attacking the server is to obtain a "technical certification", in the future Network security company is only a few more to attract customers' chips. Some simply cooperate directly with some companies to accept "Zhao'an" and turn their skills into wealth.
