This is NOT a 5 minute survey. This survey pretty much defines hackers as crackers, fundamentally missing the point and the original definition. Avoid.
Also, the questions are very poorly worded and are sometimes impossible to answer because it assumes I'm doing something that I'm not. For instance:
"Have you been financially compensated in any way for participating in this project?" WTF project are you talking about here? The hypothetical project that I might work on even though it doesn't help me or my friends?

- dzhiurgis 14y agoI am terribly sorry for the bugs, which are caused by the coding on the University side :( As for the question regarding the compensation, the survey attempts to find out whether you (would) do it for money or just for the sake of programming.
- Ensorceled 14y agoIt should say that then: "Would you participate in such a project for free or would you require some kind of reward." The biggest problem is the perpetration of the myth that hacking is "penetrating security systems". A hack is a "quick but brilliant" solution to a problem. Hackers were people that could do this over and over again.
