Femanon here. What exactly qualifies someone as a "hacker"?

The bigger the amount of beeps the computer makes per second, the better the hacker.

If you can repurpose software to do things they weren't designed to do, that's hacking, to put it simply.

If you can actually write software that does things in a more streamlined fashion, for example, software that pings an IP address from a game to DDoS a player just by inputting their character name if it's possible to do so from the server side, instead of using a few different programs to do the hack, you would be the highest level of hacker.

The real danger is the people who write the malicious code, the people that repurpose code are simply "hacks".

That's why I believe there's only two types of hackers, and script kiddies are included inside the lower type. There's just varying levels of skill.

Nice bait, but I'll bite.

The word "hacking" derives from the German word "zerhackt". It refers to the process of taking something apart into the tiniest pieces and examining them to use them in another way.

Today, hacking refers to finding ways to use assets differently.

For example you could hack your toilet by drinking out of it. Why? Because the toilet wasn't meant to do this.

In relation to computers, a "hack" refers to a quick coded program to do or fix something, or finding a way to use an existing program or infrastructure differently by exploiting undocumented or weaknesses of it.

The famous "St. George's hack", one of the best known hacks of the world, would exploit an undocumented programming interface of a banking software to steal the equivalent of 85 Mio USD (450 Mio. Uzbek Pummel, to be exact)
