and hes right, he did ask alittle about what hacking is, all hacking is is learning things, you would do yourself to get several books on unix and other opensource and closed source apps and read from front to back, not all hacking is the flashy shit you see in movies, alot of it is figureint out things about unix, windows, and how thing getalong and do a and b like he said, but its an art/lifestlyle you have to learn your selfe

from the jargon file:

 
quote:
hacker n. [originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] 1. A
   person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how
   to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to
   learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically
   (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing
   about programming. 3. A person capable of appreciating hack value. 4.
   A person who is good at programming quickly. 5. An expert at a
   particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it;
   as in `a Unix hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and
   people who fit them congregate.) 6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind.
   One might be an astronomy hacker, for example. 7. One who enjoys the
   intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing
   limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover
   sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password hacker',
   `network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is cracker.

   The term `hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global
   community defined by the net (see the network and Internet address).
   For discussion of some of the basics of this culture, see the How To
   Become A Hacker (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html) FAQ.
   It also implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some
   version of the hacker ethic (see hacker ethic).

   It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe
   oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a
   meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are
   gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in
   identifying yourself as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are
   not, you'll quickly be labeled bogus). See also geek, wannabee.

   This term seems to have been first adopted as a badge in the 1960s by
   the hacker culture surrounding TMRC and the MIT AI Lab. We have a report
   that it was used in a sense close to this entry's by teenage radio hams
   and electronics tinkerers in the mid-1950s.
