no offense.
but i find this pretty amusing. win9x hacking is not hacking and does not produce hackers at all. its what real hackers call 'script kiddies'. unfortunately, 'script kiddies' constitute for the 99 percent 'hacker population', and being frank, they are quite dumb but even so, malicious. they are the ones that you see in tv getting caught (aside from kevin mitnick). they are also the ones that the media glorifies. so cool, right?
haha.
no, far from it. hacking is usually done in unix or a linux variation. its shell scripting and nothing like the gui interfaces you get for win9x hacking tools that need not but a mouse to click. seriously, if that was hacking, any 8 year old kid with a computer and resources would be able to bring down the internet. fortunately, these nuts dont really know what they are doing, and it would still be years until they have the actual mentality to do anything really harmful. any programmer has the ability to hack. but do they? no. its nothing like in tv sets you see. there is nothing to be proud of. all it takes is time and persistance, and a little geek-blood i might add.
now go back to your little xbox and play digimon. hacker or friend? yes, very fun.
(it might have came off a little harsh, but thats the reality. sorry.)
