(wn) | hacker
n 1: someone who plays golf poorly
2: a programmer who breaks into computer systems in order to
steal or change or destroy information as a form of cyber-
terrorism [syn: hacker, cyber-terrorist, cyberpunk]

the challenge of breaking into other computers but does no
harm; "true hackers subscribe to a code of ethics and look
down upon crackers"
4: one who works hard at boring tasks [syn: hack, drudge,

hacker
(foldoc) | hacker
(Originally, someone who makes furniture with
an axe) 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of
programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as
opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum
necessary.
2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who
enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about
programming.
3. A person capable of appreciating hack value.
4. A person who is good at programming quickly.
5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently
does work using it or on it; as in "a Unix hacker".
(Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit
them congregate.)
6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an
astronomy hacker, for example.
7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively
overcoming or circumventing limitations.
8. (Deprecated) A malicious meddler who tries to discover
sensitive information by poking around. Hence "password
hacker", "network hacker". The correct term is cracker.
The term "hacker" also tends to connote membership in the
global community defined by the net (see The Network and
Internet address). It also implies that the person
described is seen to subscribe to some version of the {hacker
ethic}.
It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to
describe oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves
something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though
one to which new members are gladly welcome. Thus while it is
gratifying to be called a hacker, false claimants to the title
are quickly labelled as "bogus" or a "wannabee".
9. (University of Maryland, rare) A programmer who does not
understand proper programming techniques and principles and
doesn't have a Computer Science degree. Someone who just
bangs on the keyboard until something happens. For example,
"This program is nothing but spaghetti code. It must have
been written by a hacker".

(jargon) | hacker
n.
[originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe]
1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and
how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to
learn only the minimum necessary. RFC1392, the Internet Users' Glossary,
usefully amplifies this as: A person who delights in having an intimate
understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer
networks in particular.
2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys
programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
3. A person capable of appreciating hack value.
4. A person who is good at programming quickly.
5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using
it or on it; as in ‘a Unix hacker’. (Definitions 1 through 5 are
correlated, and people who fit them congregate.)
6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker,
for example.
7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or
circumventing limitations.
8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive
information by poking around. Hence password hacker, network hacker. The
correct term for this sense is cracker.
The term ‘hacker’ also tends to connote membership in the global community
defined by the net (see the network. For discussion of some of the basics
of this culture, see the How To Become A Hacker FAQ. It also implies that
the person described is seen to subscribe to some version of the hacker
ethic (see hacker ethic).
It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe oneself
that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a meritocracy
based on ability), though one to which new members are gladly welcome.
There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in identifying yourself
as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are not, you'll quickly be
labeled bogus). See also geek, wannabee.
This term seems to have been first adopted as a badge in the 1960s by the
hacker culture surrounding TMRC and the MIT AI Lab. We have a report that
it was used in a sense close to this entry's by teenage radio hams and
electronics tinkerers in the mid-1950s.

hacker ethic
(foldoc) | hacker ethic
1. The belief that information-sharing is a
powerful positive good, and that it is an ethical duty of
hackers to share their expertise by writing free software and
facilitating access to information and to computing resources
wherever possible.
2. The belief that system-cracking for fun and exploration is
ethically OK as long as the cracker commits no theft,
vandalism, or breach of confidentiality.
Both of these normative ethical principles are widely, but by
no means universally, accepted among hackers. Most hackers
subscribe to the hacker ethic in sense 1, and many act on it
by writing and giving away free software. A few go further
and assert that *all* information should be free and *any*
proprietary control of it is bad; this is the philosophy
behind the GNU project.
Sense 2 is more controversial: some people consider the act of
cracking itself to be unethical, like breaking and entering.
But the belief that "ethical" cracking excludes destruction at
least moderates the behaviour of people who see themselves as
"benign" crackers (see also samurai). On this view, it may
be one of the highest forms of hackerly courtesy to (a) break
into a system, and then (b) explain to the sysop, preferably
by e-mail from a superuser account, exactly how it was done
and how the hole can be plugged - acting as an unpaid (and
unsolicited) tiger team.
The most reliable manifestation of either version of the
hacker ethic is that almost all hackers are actively willing
to share technical tricks, software, and (where possible)
computing resources with other hackers. Huge cooperative
networks such as Usenet, FidoNet and Internet (see
Internet address) can function without central control
because of this trait; they both rely on and reinforce a sense
of community that may be hackerdom's most valuable intangible
asset.

hacker humour
(foldoc) | hacker humour
humor
humour
A distinctive style of shared intellectual humour found among
hackers, having the following marked characteristics:
1. Fascination with form-vs.-content jokes, paradoxes, and
humour having to do with confusion of metalevels (see meta).
One way to make a hacker laugh: hold a red index card in front
of him/her with "GREEN" written on it, or vice-versa (note,
however, that this is funny only the first time).
2. Elaborate deadpan parodies of large intellectual
constructs, such as specifications (see write-only memory),
standards documents, language descriptions (see INTERCAL),
and even entire scientific theories (see {quantum
bogodynamics}, computron).
3. Jokes that involve screwily precise reasoning from bizarre,
ludicrous, or just grossly counter-intuitive premises.
4. Fascination with puns and wordplay.
5. A fondness for apparently mindless humour with subversive
currents of intelligence in it - for example, old Warner
Brothers and Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons, the Marx brothers,
the early B-52s, and Monty Python's Flying Circus. Humour
that combines this trait with elements of high camp and
slapstick is especially favoured.
6. References to the symbol-object antinomies and associated
ideas in Zen Buddhism and (less often) Taoism. See {has the X
nature}, Discordianism, zen, ha ha only serious, {AI
koan}.
See also filk and retrocomputing. If you have an itchy
feeling that all 6 of these traits are really aspects of one
thing that is incredibly difficult to talk about exactly, you
are (a) correct and (b) responding like a hacker. These
traits are also recognizable (though in a less marked form)
throughout science-fiction fandom.

phacker
(foldoc) | phacker
A telephone system cracker. A
phacker may attempt to gain unauthorised access to a phone
system in order to make free or untraceable calls or he may
disrupt, alter or illegally tap phone systems via computer.
The disruptions may include causing a phone line to be engaged
so no calls go in or out, redirecting outgoing or incoming
calls, as well as listening to actual calls made.
Phackers are frequently confidence tricksters or phone freaks
(nuisance callers who can only relate to other people by
phone). Phackers are sometimes employed by illegal
enterprises to conduct business using untraceable calls, or to
disrupt, or follow legal authorities' investigations.
Phackers interventions may be lethal to the person being
phacked.
A phacker may be a phone company employee, or usually,
ex-employee who specialises in illegal phone system
disruption, alteration or tapping via physically altering
installations. A phacker is generally considered to be a
socially and intellectually retarded cracker.
