Hacking.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_(programmer_subculture) - A hacker is a member of the computer programmer subculture originated in the 1960s in the United States academia, in particular around the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) and MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.^{[citation needed]} Some members of the "hacker" community most emphatically differentiate the term "hacker" from malicious hackers (whom they very strongly prefer to call "crackers").^[1] Other hackers make no such distinction. The latter hackers' view that hackerdom is not inherently moral/immoral or ethical/unethical is broadly similar to the concept or attitude of a grey hat hacker.
• http://whatishacking.org/ -What is hacking?Hacking is the practice of modifying the features of a system, in order to accomplish a goal outside of the creator's original purpose. The person who is consistently engaging in hacking activities, and has accepted hacking as a lifestyle and philosophy of their choice, is called a hacker.Computer hacking is the most popular form of hacking nowadays, especially in the field of computer security, but hacking exists in many other forms, such as phone hacking, brain hacking, etc. and it's not limited to either of them due to the mass attention given to blackhat hackers from the media, the whole hacking term is often mistaken for any security related cyber crime. This damages the reputation of all hackers, and is very cruel and unfair to the law abiding ones of them, from who the term itself originated. The goal of this website is to introduce people the true philosophy and ethics of hackers, hopefully clearing their name and giving them the social status they deserve.If you support the cause of this website, you can contribute by sharing it with your friends, using any of the buttons below.

Even though you may not look at it as hacking, when the government spied on there own country during the 1900s, searching for communists, they used little devises to listen on peoples telephone conversations. As hacking was a good term, it was used to describe people who could push electronics past there potential.

Hacking later down the line took on a new meaning. As hacking progressed, in modern times, new viruses were made. At first they were used to help computers, so that they ran more efficiently, but these same programs were later used to create “Trojans” or “viruses” on a electronic base. At first the viruses were used as practical jokes, shutting down someone’s computer, sending them a lot of pop ups, and many other things. But as the anti-virus programs became more efficient so did the “hackers”.

Now the viruses were used top seal information, or even money. If it was electronic, it was hack-able. Now there are viruses, Trojans, key loggers, and many other “hacks”. It is recommended that you get an anti-virus program, even though you are not 100% safe from viruses, it will save you from losing anything that is valuable. Norton, or Macafe are two of the better anti-viruses programs. was used to describe people who were cheating phone companies to make long distance phone calls for free.
