Ask HN: What are the resources to learn hacking?
- Grasshoppeh 9y agoIt depends on your definition of what a hacker is. Asking how to be a hacker is like asking "How do I make a meal?". What type of meal do you want to make? Is it breakfast, lunch, dinner, a celebratory meal? It is just a broad question. This definition of a hacker might differ from person to person even at that. A good definition, I personally like, of a hacker is the technical adeptness and a delight in solving problems and overcoming limits. If this describes you to help people and solve problems, then I recommend this article. [0] [0]: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
