you mean software piracy? or use of (malicious) hacking scrypts(hence the word script kiddie)? or conspiracy/intent of identity theft/fraud?

 

they would need to prove what greater your intent was 1st. then, depending on what they think, as remember, this may have been a game for you and your friend, but nobody else is playing any games.

i dont want to do it, but where can you get a key logger from, just a basic one, doesnt need to be 'invisible', just log all the key strokes! that was kinad obvious, after all that's what a key logger does,

 

where can you get them from? [preferably for free]

&

are they legal or illegal, or does it depend on what you want it for?

C-NET - free/shareware

Key Logger - shareware/trialware

Some good to know stuff

Some more good toys

a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away, i started out as a script kiddie, i then graduated to a much more developed hacker. after turning 18, i could NOT afford to do any jail time, hence i had to give up my bad habits

but at times, i still miss all the fun things i did.......

You can get prosecuted for it, and even sent to prisoin if they feel you have attempted it. NEVER try it. It is a VERY serious crime.

like i said, before it hits 18, it's all goooooooooooooooood timeeeeeeeees

 

i dunno if you guys know or have heard of him, but my hero during those days was Kevin Mitnick.

Never heard of him!

Who is he when hes at home?

I take a rather dim view of the man myself. He seems to be obsessed with publicity.

I like the way he's trying to be a security consultant now people have started realising he is not magical.

software piracy, what can they do about it?

Depends who "they" is.

 

Any software publisher could press charges, and since it's a crime that probably means fines and a criminal record, possibly jail, equipment confiscation, and ban terms.

 

The FAST would probably only press charges if they believed the pirate to be a distributor.

 

Comforting to know the world does not yet belong to the self-confessed teenaged "hackers"*.

 

 

 

* Especially since most of them don't know what a hacker actually is.

Soooo TRUE! )

i belive mitnick did it for the fame and freinds anyway, and he also has a form of dyslexia refered to as the hackers desiese. people take difrent interpritation of the word hacker, most people in school think you are one if you use command prompt.... i refer to is as a computer / network enthusiast. ive done some things but not to a really bad extent.

the word "Hacker" is most often confused with a "Crackist". and there`s a BIG Difference!

yub yub, very true.

 

err, i think you mean Cracker......

i sort of did this kind of stuff in our schoo, but luckily the network admin was too incompetent. like deleting users and adding user names, changing the admin pass. it was quite fun watching his dumb face being terrorised.

Crackers are always better than hackers.........

and also more destructive!

Crackers are always better than hackers.........

Not true.

 

In fact, generally the reverse is the case.

To develop that point, hackers are just computer engineers that know a lot about computers. They try and find wormholes in operating systems and try to learn more about them

 

As for crackers, they are the ones who crack programs and find serial numbers and create cracks for software. They are the ones who create the virusses that damage our computers and files!

 

Hackers consider it a great insult if people called them crackers because they do not damage anything. It is the crackers who do. Nowadays, when someone refers to a hacker, we usually think of someone evil, much to the hacker's discontent!
