Why wannabe #hackers are so annoying #online and why nobody likes them:

Unfortunately, there’s a shockingly large number of people who’ve seen a cool #Hollywood #hacker #movie and then think, “I want to be that #cool, #powerful and #rich too—and preferably without having to do anything for it.” They then look for some kind of contact point for so-called hackers and beg for an #exploit they can run without any #knowledge, which they plan to use to hack the next bank and get rich. Even worse and more disgusting than people who are obsessed with becoming rich are those who try to hack their ex-girlfriend's #Facebook account to get #revenge on her.

That's not hacking—it's just plain stupid, because nothing works that way.

A quick aside on how to become a real hacker: Studying computer science isn’t the worst idea, but you can also find and learn everything you need to know through self-study online. Figuring out where to find the best learning materials on the internet is part of becoming a hacker.

The most frustrating experience I keep having online is when I see a little potential in these wannabe hackers and try to help them get on the right track. I'll forward them the URIs and PDFs with the learning materials. The usual response is: “I'm not stupid enough to click on long URIs or open PDFs that might be infected.” How can you want to be a hacker and not even bother to understand the most basic #cybersecurity strategies?

Anyone who thinks long URIs are more dangerous than short ones is beyond help anyway.

There are plenty of tools available for opening potentially dangerous documents, such as PDFs. A hacker should be familiar with these tools; anyone who isn’t has already failed to clear the first and smallest barrier on the long road to mastery.
