i mean we all joke about it, but how many of you really know your stuff? as in, i could give you an IP and shortly thereafter, it would be compromised?

i know i couldn't... i don't know jack about security...

ACK. And using back orifice to "hack" a computer doesn't count.

I can hack real good in soccer if I want.. :)

I think that people will not want to mention if they are a hacker because if they are a real hacker then most likely they have done illegal acts and they dont want to incriminate themselves.

I guess you mean "cracker" b/c I'm quite the hacker in the traditional sense of the word, but I don't know that much about how to 0wnz0r ur b0x0r.

No, but if given an IP, I could probably find potential exploits.

Unless you call finding remote shares, and open relays hacking...

My hacking knowlege is extremely limited. Given an ip I won't be able to do anything except find out what ports are open and take a guess at what server is binded to it and perhaps connect ot the server but I have no idea how to compromise it's security.

Why? It's just the same as keying cars or spray-painting walls. There's not even skill involved now that the net is full of pre-written tools, how-to guides and exploit code.

If you want to want to be a l33t computer geek why not do something constructive like coding for a game mod team?

And no, I'm not. It's more fun for me to create software than to try to break into systems.

Hacking is about looking at things a little differently to solve a problem. It is not the same thing as a cracker. Writing software can be considered hacking.

funny you bring that up.... my inspiration for this thread was that we've been getting spam from this one site on a ton of our lists. i just wish hackers would spend less time attacking sites like yahoo and ebay and more time attacking known spammers. not that i would ever condone illegal activity.

LMFAO, good god that's funny.

Anyway, I know a few things, but there are people out there that could run circles around me by just blinking.

The only requirement being that you are a highschool student trying to display 1337 hacking skills.
