Beginners' Series #1
So you want to be a harmless hacker?
"You mean you can hack without breaking the law?"
That was the voice of a high school freshman. He had me on the phone because his father had just taken
away his computer. His offense? Cracking into my Internet account. The boy had hoped to impress me with
how "kewl" he was. But before I realized he had gotten in, a sysadmin at my ISP had spotted the kid's
harmless explorations and had alerted the parents. Now the boy wanted my help in getting back on line.
I told the kid that I sympathized with his father. What if the sysadmin and I had been major grouches? This
kid could have wound up in juvenile detention. Now I don't agree with putting harmless hackers in jail, and
I would never have testified against him. But that's what some people do to folks who go snooping in other
people's computer accounts -- even when the culprit does no harm. This boy needs to learn how to keep out
of trouble!
Hacking is the most exhilarating game on the planet. But it stops being fun when you end up in a cell with a
roommate named "Spike." But hacking doesn't have to mean breaking laws. In this series of Guides we teach
safe hacking so that you don't have to keep looking back over your shoulders for narcs and cops.
What we're talking about is hacking as a healthy recreation, and as a free education that can qualify you to
get a high paying job. In fact, many network systems administrators, computer scientists and computer
security experts first learned their professions, not in some college program, but from the hacker culture.
And you may be surprised to discover that ultimately the Internet is safeguarded not by law enforcement
agencies, not by giant corporations, but by a worldwide network of, yes, hackers.
You, too, can become one of us.
And -- hacking can be surprisingly easy. Heck, if I can do it, anyone can!
