In the
computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits
weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. (Wikipedia) Most of
hackers are experts in network security, so after they find the weakness of the
system, no one could predict their next action. The only thing we know is that hacker
can do things, negatively or positively to world, beyond our imagination.
The cracker could
hack into phone, computer, and even government system. I recently read an
interesting article named “10 Horrible Things Hackers Can Do To You”, and I
want to share with everyone.
The ethical
hacker, like “white hat”, have their “spirit”, they are supposed to find the
weakness of a system and try to fix it, so to protect the system from the attack
of criminals. Their existence promotes the development and progress of network
security.
It is hard
to say hacker is good or bad. Hacking is like gun: it could be a protection to people or a murder tool
to criminal. What I believe is that: as more and more programmers work in the security problems, the white hat team will grow up and they will have the victory in the end.
Hi Wengjing,
ReplyDeleteNice post. That “10 Horrible Things Hackers Can Do To You” really shocks me and it is interesting. One friendly suggestion for this link: make this picture bigger so that readers no need to open it on a new tab. Making lives easier. Also, I agree that hacking has two sides - bad and good. It depends how people use it.
