Ur Thoughts: Hackers and Viruses

[Shoeberto]

A lot of times hackers and coders have mental disorders (like aspergers) or are just highly intelligent people, but these lead to a lot of social problems.

I'm not really trying to call hackers or coders crazy, but in a lot of cases, personality disorders attribute to their dedication to this kind of stuff.

Not all of them are like that, of course. I don't want it to seem like I'm saying that, if you're dedicated to writing code, you've got a mental disorder. However, some of the disorders allow them to focus heavily on single tasks, which is obviously a plus when wading through pages of code.

I hope I explained myself well enough - it's hard to put what I'm trying to say into words without sounding like I'm lumping everyone into one catagory.

anyone who likes to have viruses on their computer is not human. no one likes their property being screwed up because someone else thought it would be funny to make it that way. i have yet to find a person who enjoys viruses and i personnaly hate hackers. its the same with glitchers on online games. some people the first thing they do is try to find what glitches are out there. that pisses me off to no end. i'd just like to smake them with a large bat (or a fish, something) and ask just what the **** is wrong with them.

I love them. Only stupid people become their victims, which happen to be the Firefox crowd and blame Internet Explorer and Microsoft as a whole when it was really their own fault.

So yeah, more power to hackers and viruses.

(SPOILER)I'm only being partially sarcastic.

the computer is literally slowing down, all b/c of a damn virus. i hate all hackers. i thinks they deserveth plenty time in prison, or better yet, sit waiting to die in front of a firing squad.

lol I'm a scripter and program a lot of things.PRogramers are able to hack as well.Anyway there is a hackers underground on mIRC.The biggest one is on the DALnet server. REally big hacking community there.
Everyone knows this.Anyway theres also a scripting community on DALnet that really hates the hackers on DALnet.They are really pissed at them blah blah blah.They jsut back door each other one after another taking out each other's PC's like its some kind of computer wars.

Anyway I hate hackers also so lets burn them all!!!!!!!!! :magus:

The level of ignorance in this thread amuses me.
What about just hating the hackers that do bad stuff? Just because you know how to do something, doesn't mean you have to do it. I know how to kill someone, that doesn't make me a killer, does it?

[bipper]

Nothing ignorant about it. I am a hacker to a point. I only hack my own stuff to find faults. I understand hacking, and hackers still piss me off.

Hacker has more than one use. Its a name for a coder, one who tries to infiltrate systems, change programs, or even commit computer crimes for self gains.

Its has synominous words, and the people who attack other peoples sh@# are the types being attacked here. Anyone who disrespects someone else property that much - deserves the bad wrap.

But the ingnorance in your post was the best thing yet! Most of us are just flaming the bad hackers. (Black Hats)

Bipper!

i bet that the people who create anti-virus software are the same people that hack and put viruses on our computers. its the circle of money-making.

[Saiyan Knight]

A lot of it is linked to terrorism supposedly.

These would be the white hats, my friend.

and why would they want to put viruses on your computer when it's so *EASY* to get you to do it instead?

[bipper]

Eh, white hats? White hats were generaly those who are against the evil hackers (weather it be Black, er red; I have even heard of green hats - which fit more into what the quote was - inderectly making money off hacking. Never really met someone who does that though lol) White hats are generally not evil haxors weather they be hacking against black hats own computers, or just hacking for minor fun they usually stay peacefully as happy hackers lol

Anyways, there are so many different hats now, it aint funny. I bet there is a rainbow hat out there who attacks people by thier sexual identety... who knows.

and why would they want to put viruses on your computer when it's so *EASY* to get you to do it instead?

Great point - lol. And why would white hats make viruses when High school scriptors make plenty of em!

I wasn't talking about you when I mentioned ignorance, bipper. I'm just complaining about how "everyone hates all hackers". Very many people automatically assume all hackers are criminals.

[rubah]

Eh, white hats?

I was referring to how he said the ones that work for AV/security companies
