This site is brilliant cos you can really get into it without any real knowledge of hacking, just a little common sense - And there's always people on hand to help you out... Best web site I've found in ages.

yep, wikipedia.org has good descriptions of hackers and crackers. I also read about this crazy virus called (slammer I think) which replicated so fast it almost killed the whole internet or something. Hacker just originally meant elite programmer/ someone with lots of computer knowledge. Elite is where l33t came from.

They're actually trying to get that distinction recognised in law now. I'm interested in cyber law (international law regarding internet use) and it's quite funny some of the way things work. There's a fair amount of legal knowledge required of sys admins in order to set the system up to allow for a successful prosecution in the event of it being hacked.

That's great - I didn't know there was a legal effort around this. Is this in the UK or somewhere else?
Prosecuting the bad guys is difficult. I have had to collect evidence several times regarding successful and unsuccessful computer break-in attempts, and to my knowledge no one has ever been convicted.
Once the trail leaves your own country, it's nearly a lost cause.

I think it was the uk, can't remember which of the two textbooks I saw it in (one was US/international, the other was uk.) Can't find it at the moment and I have to get off the PC for a bit, but if I find it again I'll let you know. Roughly a third of my degree is computing law.

don't worry... many great thinkers seem to think the internet is at an extremely early stage of development. Something even better than this will come up, and if "soccer moms" turn it into the quality of tv, there will surely be many various evolutions with different qualities and natures, sort of like linux vs windows or independent videogame creators vs popular crappy ones. From what I've read of connection machines, it might be possible to have an entire internet on one computer eventually.

Just checked and I'm pretty sure it's the UK. Sadly my 2 year old Uk computer law textbook doesn't make the distinction at all or even suggest that "hackers" can be good :/

Level 2's actually really easy - He's hidden the password in an encrypted file but neglected to upload it.
You have to get there from level 1 (do them in sequence) but all you do is press submit on that one - You don't even need a password - Then you see this security flaw that helps you with level 3...
There's loads of info on the forums about those levels. Good luck!

I'm guessing that's on the basic missions? Level 6 on realistic is getting pretty hardcore! Level 6 Basic is actually one of the simplest - You just have to figure out the encryption system yourself - It's quite simple when you sus it (although the last character caused quite a headache!).
Try typing in AAAAAAA and see what it's doing... More of a brainteaser that one.

that is a really common misconception - and i have refuted it numerous times (at least once) on the board before
a hacker is usually someone who illegally (and someimtes legally) "hacks" or explores, modifies, or just messes around with networks and computer systems.
crackers deal more with code and programs - focusing more on modifying programs and mutating them to try and achieve something new with the program, or unlock hidden features, etc.
there are both bad and good members of each group.

that's the beauty of the net, it's a blank canvas for people, groups, organisations to put information on an open web where anyone can get on and explore, i personally like it.
yes, i hate some of the shitty javascript exploits to fuck up people's general surfing experience, but it is a god structure nonetheless at this point.
AI is becoming serious these days, self-organised content management etc, we're gonna see the internet clean itself up....and become a very valueable resource.
personally, free porn galore (great) free information about literally everything (even better) and of course interacting with people across the globe....oh and warez heehee

The WWW Forum on that site has hints for just about every level though, so it's a wicked site to learn on.
