Confronting My Old Self
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
Suddenly this evening I was somehow confronted with my past self.
|
||
If that doesn't make sense then let me attempt to explain. I saw something
|
||
that made my mind thrust forth a part of my past that I had long and since
|
||
forgotten about. I was once an attempted 'hacker' I did everything I could
|
||
to learn the things that most hackers take for granted. It wasn't that I was
|
||
stupid, I was just say impatient. I remember the complaints, I remember
|
||
the discouragement, but still I tried. Well I still somehow have that
|
||
element in me but I never sat down until now and thought about it. When I
|
||
left the environment of piss wars about 'knowledge' and other things that
|
||
are not worth mentioning. I tried my hardest to learn how to break a system
|
||
before I knew the system, if that makes any sense to you. When you see
|
||
these people that can break into or sneak into systems, you want nothing
|
||
more in life than to do that. Somehow you just can't do it, you read the
|
||
text and then try to follow through is a waste of time.
|
||
|
||
See people told me that I had to learn how the program ticked before
|
||
I could 'hack' it, yet I still tried and failed. So that brings me to my
|
||
current position, here I sit going to graduate school, I am studying "Initial
|
||
Results in Electromechanical Mode Identification from Ambient Data" which
|
||
seems like a century ago when I was frustrated when I could figure out the
|
||
basics of a system as of Unix. The major question in my head is am I still
|
||
a wannabe hacker?
|
||
|
||
Since this is such a complicated question I have sat here in my
|
||
shitty graduate student housing trying to put this into words. Since I
|
||
started school interested in computers and engineering, I have always
|
||
thought to myself "how can I bypass this system.<2E> Sometimes I sit up at
|
||
night and go over systems that had nothing to do with my grade or my career
|
||
as an engineer, yet had everything to do with my drive to know every aspect
|
||
of a certain network or program. Some I still can't figure how to get around,
|
||
others I did. Does this some how deem me as a hacker? Well, that is a
|
||
matter of opinion. Do I have a web page that has "MY k00l h4ck1ng s1t3<74> no,
|
||
not really. Do I put out publications with USEFUL information? No, even
|
||
if I did, no one will read it, and if they do, I would be surprised. Do I
|
||
read 2600, not really, all they talk about anymore is some moron in jail.
|
||
I just do my own thing, I am not part of a group, I haven't even tried to
|
||
start a group because you know what, that isn't what it is about being a
|
||
hacker.
|
||
|
||
I think that after all this retrospect on my little life, what have
|
||
I really gained? Am I ashamed of how I was, a little, but I don't regret it
|
||
at all. Am I hacker? This is a complicated question, by some definitions,
|
||
yes I am a hacker, and by others no I am nothing but a part time or casual
|
||
'hack'. I think that I will leave this one to the masses. Will I ever get
|
||
involved in the 'scene' again? Maybe, but my past is so clouded that I
|
||
really doubt it, I have better things to do than to get into fights
|
||
'on-line'.
|
||
|
||
I guess the moral of all this is, some people will consider
|
||
themselves hackers when they are really nothing but people that ride on the
|
||
coat tails on others. Some people don't even call themselves hackers and
|
||
have the skill and knowledge and drive to do it. The major question is who
|
||
or what category do you fit into?
