Of phreaking and hacking ...

hi guys ... its good to be back ...
yesterday was the day we were all eagerly waiting for ... the live demonstration of hacking in vikramshila by the i-SiG group of which our very own ravemz is a part ... hacking is a word which fascinates anyone and everyone ... it is the sense of power that it brings with it that makes it so attractive ...
in actual fact though hacking is not such difficult thing to do ... but like many other things the secret is a well kept one ... hacking is a domain that very few get to traverse hence the curiosity factor is at work ... it is a dark world world of mystery and magic ... where ppl get to break into others computers and wreak havoc ... that among other things makes up the overwhelming "popularity" of the word ...
the fact remains however that ... to quote Spiderman ... " with great power comes great responsibility " ... hacking is definitely a very powerful tool with the help of which one can mess up another's world very easily ... hence the importance of realising the downside of hacking or the "underworld" ... as long as it is harmless it is fine ... coz after all who would like to have his/her world tampered with by strangers ...
bye for now ...
