The art of hacking is more complicated than the average executive thinks. Most suits think that being hacked is some sort of inconvenience: screw that. It is an honor. If a person is hacking your machine it is because they want to use what is on it. You did well. You bought a system that is worthwhile. Take it as a compliment and get out of the way.

Some people think it is important to make the distinction between hackers and crackers. According to this line of thought, cracking is the act of sneaking into a machine through hardware blocks, spyware, firewalls, etc. and then "messing around" for a nefarious purpose (and if harm comes, too bad); hacking is is about reaching into a system and using it for a purpose (a hacker can know more about the machine than the designer and wants to push it to its full potential).

But really, those fools are talking about the same thing--hacking is hacking.

What am I doing here? I am always here. I live online.

I chose to represent the Spider Clan because of my connection to the Web :: non-local space.

There are two things that I am opposed to: death and time. These are the things that I am most committed to destroying. Other people go on and on about saving the world, but I have to ask what it all means when we are really just slaves to death and time.
