how to hack: a guide


CHAPTER 3 History & Beginnings

Once you're getting into the game, and feeling 'fly', you're gonna need some background information and some 'context' to keep you cool with the homies, and here it is:

The lord's book of hacking tips; part one describes hacking as "the process of entering a sealed environment through illegal or cunning means", and is no way connected to women, or objects bearing similarity to.

Hacking came about from the early attempts on 286 systems to steal precious documents and then sabotage the owner's system through a vicious means but often ended up in self-inflicted injuries as no-one knew what they were doing, it was all just an attempt to be clever really.

The original hackers handbook by John Grisham suggested the following steps to hacking a 'supercomputer' - Gain access to the supercomputer by bypassing the owner's area of vision whilst he is using a urinal or other distracting facility on or off the premises. (at this point the original hackers handbook reminds hackers not to be cocky, time is the hackers worst enemy and you must always be weary of it's pitfalls) From here you must proceed to 'hack' (hacking terminology) into the 'system memory' and 'download' the 'virus' to the 'floppy' 'disk'. Of course only the true hardcore hackers could understand such complex and futuristic language and few became experts in this field at such an early stage in it's history.

From there you must then 'upload' the virus to the system 'mainframe', then you have successfully completed your first hack, and you are then known as a 'hacker' - like Craig Shimmon.
