It is the weekend you have nothing to do so you decide to play around on your computer .

You turn it and than start up , calling people with your modem , conneciting to another world

with people. This is all fine but what happens when you start getting into other people's

computer files , then it becomes a crime and who are the criminals. To begin i will start

with hacking and hackers.

Hacking is the act of breaking into computers and network of other poeple's with out

any permission . Hacking is like drugs or any other substance , its an addiction for the mind

and once started it is diffucult to stop . Hacker is a person who enjoy learning details of a

programming language or system , who tries to break into computer systems .There is two

types of hackers. On is the benign hackers , who likes get into his or her own computer and

understand how it works . The malicious hackers is the person who likes getting into other

people's system . Black hat is used to describe

a hacker who break into a computer system

or network with malicious intent . Unlike white hat , the black hat takes advantage of the

break in perhaps destroying files or stealing data for some future purpose. White hat hackers

describes a hacker who identifies a security weakness in a computer system or network but

instead of taking malicious advantage of it . They will allow the system's owners to fix it

before can be taken advantage by others . But U.S law does not see differences between black

hat hacker and white hat hacker.

Many of the poeple in our society today often think that computer hackers are very smart

individuals who have special talents and abilities and enabiling them to crack passwords ,

send viruses , cancel your cable tv , raid your social security and crash computer systems.

Most people in our society do not spend the time to break into computer systems but all

studies indicate that hackers are genarlly young and not haave full time jobs or own property

They have so much time and energy to break into computers. Hackers learn hacking from

reading different kind of computer books , they find many available tools on the internet ,

they spend so much time on the computer to learn the techniques of hacking . Some of the

hackers hack for to gain highest prestige within the comunity. Some of them hack just for fun,

more they hack more fun they have . Hacking is just another way to receive

a build up of

adranaline in the body. They also gain great deal of power from learning confidential

information. Hacking involves accumulation of knowledge which is accompanied by the

greater status and power . Some of the hackers say that they only punish people an companies

that they do not like and to show weakness of companies which have poor security. Some feel

that if they put others down they will elevate to higher level. Most of the young hackers do

not know the implication of what they are doing , they do not consider that if they do get into

a system and start to hack they could costs the company thousands millions of dollars. Every

computer proffesionals have made mistakes thatr has caused the loss of data , service and

money but some hackers have never been in real situation to understand this issue. These

people are displaying situational morailtiy.

Many professionals argue that the cause why hackers hack is about the same as any other

criminal. It mostly has to deal with their families

and friends and the environment

they grew

up in. I agree with professionals at this point and э believe

that the issue goes back to how they

are raised . I am not saying that these people have bad parents . I think that while parents go

around telling their children not to use drugs or any other substance , to study hard in school,

probably they do not their children not to break other people's computer systems or hacking

is bad and illegal. Information security professions must be more visible in a way that set

children before the hackers community sets them . They get together to teach children about

hacking before somebody else does.
