Hacking.
In this discussion thread we will be discussing about a few questions about the subject hackers.

-Why do they give us viruses
-Whats the point
-Aren't they afraid they will get caught
-how/why did they start hacking.

i consider hacking the dark side of coding.

I want serious posts here, anything wibble like WILL BE REPORTED by ME!!

-Probably because they're bored, or they try to use it for something (for what i dont' know, maybe to get some info on something? )
-For shits and gigles? some people just do it out of boredom.
-Most of the time they don't, if you talk about forum hacking, they always do, and of course they are.
-If you're talking about toribash accounts, probably for items and tc, as for other sites, probably for whatever virtual items they have there.

Getting hacked does suck, but no matter what site you go to there WILL be hacking.
It's usually done for challenge.

The feeling of knowing you can do it.

It's considered a hobby.

There are 3 types of hackers
-white hats
-grey hats
-black hats

White hats are good, black hats are bad. White hats do it for fun like hobbies and what not. Black hats do it for malicious use. Grey hats are both.

Most viruses are for spam distrobution, botnets, or scams.
Most cracks are for the challenge.
People start because they're bored and want to learn some tricky coding stuff.

Hacking is usually done to get people's information, like their social security number, credit card, etc. Some people just do it for fun, because sometimes people think hacking other computers is fun. A virus is like a type of hack, as in like there is more than 1 way to hack. You can give people trojans, viruses, malware, etc. I don't think they really care if they get caught, or are super careful about what they do.
It started out as a way of getting free phone calls and as technology advanced the hackers branched off into good guys and bad guys. The "good" hackers use their skills to help and protect people while the "bad" ones try to give you viruses or steal information.

Are they afraid of getting caught? If they're aiming to cause significant damage then I can imagine they would be afraid because many hackers have been caught before. The ones who do it as a hobby and don't really hurt anyone usually don't get caught or no one bothers to do anything about them.
People really need to learn what Discussion material is. BY THE WAY I UN-CLOSED IT AND MOVED IT TO RT

I dont think it closed ? . Anyway of course they are scared who wouldnt be , as people say most of them do it for fun
-Why do they give us viruses? - At 1st it was to distroy your computers, Now it to get personal details.
-Whats the point? - To get poerson details bank logins password a such.
-Aren't they afraid they will get caught? - Only 5% of all hackers have been arrested, So i guess no.
-how/why did they start hacking? - Most start out of cureosity, Some start in revenge, Others start for the money.
