hacker
a person skilled with the use of computers that uses his talents to gain knowledge. tere are three cl-ssifications of hackers:
white-hat (hacking for the enjoyment of exploration)
black-hat (hacking to find exploits and system weaknesses, see cracker)
and grey-hat (someone who is a little of both)
a person (usually possessing thorough knowledge in no single field), who is talented at devising superficial “fixes,” which are nothing more than auxiliary work-arounds for problems which eventually have to be solved “correctly” by a “trained professional.”
hackers are self-motivated, and learn through experimentation and persistence, as opposed to through “traditional” means.
computer hackers do not completely fit this definition. due to the high artificiality of computer technology itself, computer hackers must be highly knowledgable before they can implement their first successful “hack.” for them, “hacks” are the product of brilliant insight and thorough investigation, rather than the talent and natural law that go with hacking in more humanity-driven fields, such as entertainment or sports.
chess masters have a similar level of mental discpline, although many hackers tend to lack the attention span necessary to be good at chess :’)
many people would tend to disagree, but then again many people are not skillful enough to be called a “hacker.”
an individual capable of solving complex non-intuitive problems in a seemingly intuitive manner. the processes and techniques used are not necessarily methodical to the observer, but yet achieve results significantly and consistently faster than known experience would predict. a hacker is not defined in terms of intention or purpose, but rather by the talented single-mindedness of method. a hacker is not a hack.
hackers are not limited to computer hacking.
commentary: the movies “tron” (1982) and “war games” (1983) significantly influenced the common use of “hacker” (by non-hackers) in reference to computer hackers. the widespread use of the internet beginning around 1993 made millions of unwitting parents concerned that their adolescent child was turning into a hacker. some of the twit kids even believed it themselves. please see reference to “lacker” for a more appropriate name for these individuals.
a hacker typically uses genius or intuitive methodology to solve complex problems.
a group of people that:
a) enter computer systems by means of hacking
b) chop wood
get those hackers out of the forest’s mainframe.
