A long time ago there was this guy who, some claim to be one of the greatest generals of all time. Of course, we’ve seen a lot of great generals which leaves this claim up for much debate. However, that debate is not what we’re going to tackle here. Instead, what I am going to do is share with you what I’ve termed as The Generals 6 Movers of Hackers, which is a remix (if you will) of what General Hannibal had coined as being The 6 Movers of Men, applied to hackers and hacker types.
- He who hacks for blood soon finds it dripping from his own terminal.
- He who hacks for gold is already blinded by the glitter and glare of his own greed, all too soon led astray by all things shiny.
- He who hacks for fame and glory never stays free long enough to hear his songs of victory sung.
- He who hacks for sport seldom finds the network administrator in a sporting mood.
- He who hacks for the love of it must leave what he loves behind so he can dance with the one he hates the most.
- But…he who hacks for security cannot be led astray.
Now ask yourself what is it that moves you? What are you, deep down, really hacking for?
Until next time. Hack on!
