Off Topic » in reply to I asked a hacker once, "Why do you do it?"

I understand the answer, I think...

Nearly everyone enjoys empowerment at some level. It can range from the harmless to the horrible. since the beginning of humanity, invisibility has been a fantasy related to empowerment.

I might enjoy walking undetected into Area 51 or some other secret place. It is what you do when you are there that matters. In some cases it is somewhat similar to graffiti tagging, which ranges from art to vandalism.

In other cases it is a kind of rape.

It can also be a job skill that can be invaluable to fighting crime and protecting national security
