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.
