A hacker is someone who enjoys the aesthetic of programming and is clever with it, it doesn't mean cracking security, that would be a cracker, some hackers do crack security but that sint what defines a hacker. Most of the people on /g/ who can actually program and has done something atleast remotely clever with their computers to get something done is a hacker.

Keep using your little kiddie "Computer Security Training" course, see how far you get kid lololo.
>>
>>55253780
You don't. When you get into a circle with real professionals and they get to know your skills (meaning you actually have to have some pretty good skills/knowledge) then THEY will call you a hacker.
When this happens you will know it's time.

Thought they were just a myth?
>>
>>55254972
Even this is wrong, though it does somewhat align with the spirit of being a hacker. A hacker is just someone who works meticulously on something tech oriented, the original term was just for clever people that would sit and "hack" away at punch cards, trying to get the same results using less and less cards. Nowadays, you can be in security or be a programmer or what have you. As long as you're still "hacking" away at something, working on something, you can consider yourself a hacker.

DISCLAIMER:This is not an excuse for acting like a fucking faggot. Do not go around telling people you're a hacker. You'll sound like an even bigger faggot than you actually are.
