What does hacking have to do with cybersecurity?
- blooalien 2y agoTrue (real actual) "hackers" often make the best cybersecurity experts? :)
- anthk 2y agoNot always. A lot of hackers aren't even networking related. An easy hack would be to use echo, netcat and less to browse either Reddit or HN over Gopher: echo /live/items | nc hngopher.com 70 | less echo /live/items/41877513 | netcat hngopher.com 70 | less
- blooalien 2y agoBy "true" hackers, I meant the old-skool type that learns things on the fly from limited resources and then uses creativity and problem-solving skills alongside their newly-minted knowledge to create nifty things or solve thorny problems. :) Guessing from the rest of your comment there, with the nifty examples that you might be one of those "old-skool hackers" yourself. ;)
- alias_neo 2y agoI suppose they mean the pop-culture term "hacker" which is someone who breaks into digital systems in movies etc. In which case, it has everything to do with Cybersecurity.
