The history of hacking - jasonnix - Jan 1, 2024
Hello,
I have some questions about the hackers and I'm thankful if anyone can provide me with information:
1- Basically, a hacker is someone who likes to learn how to work with something and cracker is someone who likes to destroy something. People mistakenly call those who hack websites as hackers because crack usually means finding vulnerabilities in software. Is it true?
2- Where did hacking start? From the phone? People like Captain Crunch?
3- We have Black Hat, White Hat and Grey Hat. Are there other colors? I've heard things similar to blue hat, but are these official?
4- Who are the most famous hackers in chronological order?
5- Today, hackers use Bitcoin to get paid, what was it like back in the day?
Thank you.
Hello,
No idea?
Thanks.
