What are Hackers? tutorial

There are many definitions of hacker described on the internet,

 on wikipedia explains that a hacker is a computer expert who uses his technical skills to solve problems,

 or it could be a term for those who are very skilled in the field of computer programming.

 While in some circles a hacker is also defined as someone who can enter a system without permission and do damage.

 Then what is the right definition for a hacker?

 The origin of the term hacker

 In the past, when computers were first developed (before 1990), there was a community that maintained a "culture" and shared information in order to build a better system.

 This community contains experts in the fields of programming, networking, hardware who exchange information and work together to build the future.

 What you are enjoying right now is a real “hacker” masterpiece.

 Linux and the internet are masterpieces of the true hackers of the past who sustain human development.

 This is what is called a true hacker (white hat hacker)

 Understanding Hackers Now

 Then there are groups/individuals who name and shout loudly that they are “hackers”, even though they are not hackers.

 These people are mostly criminals who enter/break into the system without permission and do damage.

 Real hackers have nothing to do with them, because in the view of a true hacker they are just lazy, less intelligent and irresponsible people.

 Their job is to break into and destroy and then claim to be a hacker, even though they are a "cracker" not a hacker.

The problem is when the media attaches the label "hacker" to criminals who are actually crackers.

 This makes people wrong in interpreting "hacker".

 If you've read this, you now know what a real hacker is, right?

Hacker Types & Levels

 Hackers are usually programmers with high skills and have knowledge of computer security and are able to find vulnerabilities and create exploits to break into computer systems or networks and are able to fix / provide solutions to prevent it.

 But in fact not all hackers are like that,

 there are some people who call themselves hackers, even though they are not...

 Ethical Hacker (White hat)

 is a hacker who is given permission to enter the system and is asked to check, identify and fix system or network weaknesses by doing penetration testing.

 ethical hackers usually work as security systems analysts and consultants.

 A system needs to be tested (pentesting) to measure the extent of the defense of a system.

 To test and strengthen system defenses, a security system expert (ethical hacker) is needed.

 Its job is to do pentesting, find security holes and then patch and strengthen it so that other hackers can't get in.

 gray hat

 is a hacker who takes the initiative to enter a computer system or network without permission with the aim of seeing and looking for system or network weaknesses and reporting them to the system owner for repair.

 Curiosity and Passion (Hobby)

 The most important main capital, the essence of the core of a professional hacker is to make computer learning a hobby.

 The thirst for knowledge and the passion to continue to explore, explore, learn what he likes (in this case the computer world) so that it will form a person who is an expert in the field of computers.

 Doing a job that you like will not make you depressed or feel like you are working, to become a hacker who is actually a computer expert, you must have a passion for the computer world.

 From now on if you want to learn to be a professional hacker, then start exploring by reading forums or articles on the internet that discuss computer science.

 All manuals, guides and documentation are printed in written form, not video or audio.

 So you have to read to absorb the knowledge.

 English

 When you learn hacking and look for it on the internet, most articles are written in English, this is because English is used as the standard language for international communication.

 In addition, the language used to create manuals and documentation is usually English.

 The use of English is to facilitate communication between developers and users in the world who have different languages.

 So start enriching your English vocabulary little by little by reading English articles and translating words while remembering them.

 Do it continuously for a long time you will memorize many English words without you realizing it if you practice it every day.

 Think Out Side of The BoX (CREATIVE)
