I am not a hacker, and don't intend to go towards that direction. I plan to go into other fields of work with the rat race. But I do agree with the concepts set out by hackers. "All information should be free".

The best way for you to learn hacking is to go to a hacking newsgroup such as Alt.2600. You can access newsgroups for free where you have access to the internet. One well known web based newsgroup is Dejanews, which is available at http://www.dejanews.com/ Look around for the "FAQ", which is the frequently asked questions list.

A word of wisdom for you to follow is, be courteous, and show respect to these people. Making enemies with these people is not a good idea. They can track you down. The information about you is available nearly everywhere. Large government corporations have detailed information about you. These people can hack those computers. By simply logging on to a computer, you have given details of yourself over the internet. Through your internet protocol number, you can be traced.

As long as you play by the rules, and make friends in the right places, you will be alright. Don't stress, have fun, and enjoy the wealth of knowledge that hackers have passed on to us little people.
