THINKING OF A HACKER
The thinking of a hacker is very much the same as that of a good program developer. Hackers who
have been successful have
developed a common
strategy over a period of time. This strategy is to
very patiently and
carefully document every
step, which is what the
programmers do.
They are
good at analyzing and following a methodical
approach of investigation.
So when they start they
don't have much as in the background, they start from the starch and
gradually build what is called the entire roadmap or game plan.
It is a known fact that in order to think like a master hacker one should
imitated all the big hackers both intellectually
and emotionally. As they always work on a
different platform and it is the platform of Self Belief.
1. The typical thinking of
a Hacker is that, they believe that the world is full of ongoing problems
which continuously need solutions to it. So looking for solutions should
be the ultimate aim and not giving up till the time the problem is
cracked.
2. Another fundamental
that they work on is that, the same wheel should not be invented twice
as it will be a waste of time and effort both. Brains with creativity
should be used for new proposes and not older ones. So, they believe in
the theory
that time is precious and
make the best out of it.
3. The third fundamental
truth that they believe in is that, repetition is what leads to success and no
word like boredom can be
found in their dictionary.
4. The next good thing they believe in is Freedom. Most of the hackers work
independently and that is
a strong foundation for
them to grow. It is said that freedom has no limit to the growth of an individual.
5. No replacement for a
good attitude. An attitude to fight and not flight. One can give up
whenever he or she wants. It is only the attitude that makes you
different from the
other.
6. Hackers believe in a value system that is not negotiable and do not
compromise on it, because if they do then they would be crackers and not
hackers.
Documentation is said to be the wisest thing that any developer a simple programmer or a hacker maintains.
At times finding solutions is so difficult that is only the documentation that can help one understand the
entire process all over again. It is like hunting for
a treasure hunt in a jungle with small clues that take you to the next clue and one step closer to the final gift.
