Hacking

I watched a movie on it recently and it revived my interest in something I've always been curious about, along with the Usenet and BBS underworld of days gone by. So, how is a hacker made? How do you know about and use exploits in code or whatever it is you do? Where can aspiring hackers learn what they need to learn?

if that knowledge is behind a barrier, that just makes it all the more desirable.
Bullshit removed, it translates to nothing more than ego.

There's so much information in the public domain on almost any topic that you could spend a hundreds of lifetimes studying it.

So why the desire for forbidden access? Oh, good for you, you got your mitts on a CC DB.
