The True Hacker

Hacker. There was a time, when the word was a respectable title and gave a sense of nobility to its bearer. Today the word "hacker" has been abused and poisoned to become a negative unethical title. Today people seem to think the title "hacker" is bestowed by ones self, when infact nobody should proclaim themselvse to be a true hacker, its a title bestowed by others.

Even those who follow the path of a hacker have forgotten its true meaning. In todays chaotic world, the True Hacker is struggeling to surive.

The True Hacker. A dying breed.

We need to take a good look at what we think a hacker is, and perhaps re-evaluate whether we can call ourselves a true hacker. How can we justify hacking and criticize negative stereotypes if we ourselves don't even know what a hacker is.

With no one as a guide, with no one as a role model, people are left blind and mislead.

It is time for a change.

The True Hacker has a sense of enlightenment and wears his title with pride. Ethics form the essence of a True Hacker. They believe in improving this world and making a difference. It's ambitious, and it's reachable. They believe in, and uphold true ethics. No action is taken without good ethical incentive.

The internet is our home, it's where we belong. It is a great place and has such promising potential, but is plagued and polluted by unethical and dangerous sites. Racism, Child Pornography, Terrorist websites; to name but a few. Corruptive material like this is illegal to broadcast over TV / Radio, so why is it allowed to spread its harmful ideas over the internet.

A True Hacker enforces harmony throughout the Internet. They strive to protect what needs protecting. They nobly remove what needs to be removed.

A True Hacker is driven by divine ethics and does what is morally correct, for the good of everyone else.

A True Hacker will apply this philosophy to every aspect of life. Helping many people. Standing up for what one believes in, both online and offline.

However these qualities have sadly become rare and tainted.

The title of the True Hacker needs to be reclaimed. The stereotype and treatment of hackers relies on the amazing deeds of True Hackers.

It's time more people start using their powers for good. Using their powers to better the internet. Imagine a free and safe Internet, kept ethical and protected by hackers. Imagine the stereoptye of hackers, if groups infiltrated terroist forums undetected, and then send all information to relavent authorities. Imagine the stereotype of hackers if they infiltrated a racist forum and disclosed plans on racial attacks before shutting the forum down.

Imagine one of the largest online companies is notified about a urgent security issue, so it can fix it before possibily loosing millions of dollars.

Actions like these can save and improve thousands of lifes, yet sadly so few people use their knowledge in this way. Yet people today prefer to detroy hundreds of innocent sites just to have the illusion of fame.

With great power, comes great responsibility. No one can call themselves a "hacker" is they deface and damage random innocent sites. Hackers should be out there using their powers for gain of ethics, for the greater good. Hacking isnt a action, or the idea of defacing websites, hacking is a state of mind.

Being a True Hacker you have the power to do such good in this world and truely make a positive difference to hundreds of people all over the world.

This idea could become very real and it is time we started making a difference.

What part will you play?
