Why Did You Start Hacking?

The main reason for me to learn how to sneak into a system is to avoid those mistakes in my own scripts / programs.
But of course it can be fun to show an admin how messed up his site is…

all of the 4 reasons above .

All 4 reasons mentioned above. #Mostly it is for Fun.

I woke up one day and just felt like it, probably because i was working on my php back then

I always wanted to know how things worked, so I took apart electronic devices. As I grew older, the same applied to network infrastructure, applications and web applications. I can’t really explain the why, but especially with web applications I get “an urge” when I see input fields or GET parameters….. :)

I would have to echo @0xDC

i have same reasons xdDC .

For the main reasons above, to access certain information, because of curiosity, to kill boredom and to prove that it can be done. However these aren’t the only reasons, there are other reasons why I (and others) decided to start hacking, for a similar reason to Anonymous, I hate politics, but politicians are not actually my primary targets, it’s other people in particular who are my primary targets. I agree with the saying, “what goes around comes around.” That is one reason why I decided to start hacking, plus the main ones above.

Only got into a few systems so far, but it was to prove a point , then it grew into curiosity, and now its for fun , i came to this site in the hope to learn more , just wish there was more SQLi levels :) , but hey i cant complain :)

Another reason that @ColdIV touch on that would also apply to myself is education. While building my own applications I have been looking at ways that people could exploit them so I can protect better against potential vulnerabilities.

For the knowledge because I’m studying Web development and programming - Plus its loads of fun!!

Well i began, on a quest for revenge against my local government and to access alot of restricted information.
From then until now, i have done some reading and seen that, if you begin with bad intentions, then YOU ALREADY HAVE FAILED.

Now seeing that i was on the wrong path, i feel better i have found the right path before it was to late or i was in jail for being an idiot.

Anywho, i became interested in Computer Security about almost 2 years ago. I thought it was interesting, but i was to lazy to actually get up and learn protocols … etc. Now that i am, the only regret i have not beginning this adventure/career earlier.
I am very happy about, creating new things and learning and be better than most people and thinking.

I encourage anyone who wants to Learn and help out the “Hacker Community”.

now i am not saying be GOOD, because myself and other people should know that you cannot force anyone to be good or bad but they have to find there own way. I expect you to go the same.
