Hackers
for Hire:
Ok,
before we go any further. Hackers are not the evil, hard-drive
formatting, virus spreading, credit card stealing demons that they are
reported to be by the media. Hackers are people that have such a love
for knowledge that they will study a technology until they understand
it possibly even more fully than the creators. People who destroy or
steal are likely not hackers but rather are what is referred to as
"script kiddies" because they use someone else's program, etc. to do
damage since they have no real skills of their own. Sure some hackers
will do damage and some will steal but the majority of hackers have
little interest in this; all they care about is learning the
technology.
I
have to make this distinction because I hire hackers to do some of my
training. HIRE HACKERS, you say? Yeah, and if I didn't hire them, maybe
you'd like me to put them in the unemployment line where they can
bitterly think about all the wrong that has been done to them and how
your company wouldn't give them a chance to show their talents can be
used for good, or maybe I should just send them to your competition
instead? If you want to build a better car, you do not go to a junk
yard to study the cars there; you find all the cars in the world that
are still running well and you study them. These people are the best in
the field and everyone can learn from their skills and attitudes.
Many(all?)
of the casinos in Las Vegas do NOT hire cheaters to
teach them how it is done. Instead they try, in vain, to stick to the
policy that if the person never stole from anyone in the world that
they are much more knowledgeable and trustable. However, a few years
ago, a top programmer for a Nevada gaming company was brought up on
charges and convicted for putting a backdoor in an electronic gambling
game, so even the best of people fall victim to greed. On top of all
that, the casinos have a disadvantage in that they are only ever able
to almost keep up with but never be one step ahead of their
"competition"..because they don't hire cheaters who have the ability to
think this way. I'm betting that your network administrator feels the
exact same way since so very few are trained to think ahead of the
game.
If
you are a hacker and seeking a position with People Hacking, contact us and
we'll give you "the test".
