1996 I noticed that there didn't seem to be any other FAQs or web
documents that addressed this vital question, so I started this
one.Numerous translations of this document are available:

and Swedish.It is a simple
pattern with some surprising properties in a mathematical simulation
called Life
that has fascinated hackers for many years.If you want to know how to
become a hacker, though, only two are really
relevant.Hackers made the Unix operating system what it is
today.Hackers make the World Wide Web work.If
you are part of this culture, if you have contributed to it and other
people in it know who you are and call you a hacker, you're a
hacker.There is another group of people who loudly call themselves
hackers, but aren't.These are people (mainly adolescent males) who
get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone
system.Real hackers mostly think crackers are
lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able
to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able
to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer.The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers
break them.If you want to be a hacker, keep reading.The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.No problem should ever have to be solved twice.Attitude is no substitute for competence.Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in freedom
and voluntary mutual help.To be accepted as a hacker, you have to
behave as though you have this kind of attitude yourself.But if you think of cultivating hacker attitudes as just a way
to gain acceptance in the culture, you'll miss the point.So, if you want to be a hacker, repeat the following things until
you believe them:1.The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.Being a hacker is lots of fun, but it's a kind of fun that takes
lots of effort.Similarly, to be a hacker you have to get a basic thrill from solving
problems, sharpening your skills, and exercising your
intelligence.If you aren't the kind of person that feels this way naturally, you'll
need to become one in order to make it as a hacker.Otherwise you'll
find your hacking energy is sapped by distractions like sex, money, and
social approval.Often, we learn a lot about the problem that we didn't
know before by studying the first cut at a solution.It's OK, and
often necessary, to decide that we can do better.You don't have to believe that you're obligated to give
all your creative product away, though the
hackers that do are the ones that get most respect from other hackers.It's consistent with hacker values to sell enough of it to keep you in
food and rent and computers.It's fine to use your hacking skills to
support a family or even get rich, as long as you don't forget your
loyalty to your art and your fellow hackers while doing it.Boredom and drudgery are evil.To behave like a hacker, you have to believe this enough to want to
automate away the boring bits as much as possible, not just for
yourself but for everybody else (especially other hackers).There is one apparent exception to this.So the
authoritarian attitude has to be fought wherever you find it, lest
it smother you and other hackers.Children need to be
guided and criminals restrained.Authoritarians thrive on censorship and secrecy.So to behave
like a hacker, you have to develop an instinctive hostility to
censorship, secrecy, and the use of force or deception to compel
responsible adults.To be a hacker, you have to develop some of these attitudes.But
copping an attitude alone won't make you a hacker, any more than it
will make you a champion athlete or a rock star.Becoming a hacker
will take intelligence, practice, dedication, and hard work.Competence at demanding skills that
few can master is especially good, and competence at demanding skills
that involve mental acuteness, craft, and concentration is best.That attitude is vital to becoming a
hacker.Unixes and learn to use and run it.Learn how to use the World Wide Web and write HTML.The hacker attitude is vital, but skills are even more vital.Attitude is no substitute for competence, and there's a certain basic
toolkit of skills which you have to have before any hacker will dream
of calling you one.For example, it used to include programming
in machine language, and didn't until recently involve HTML.But
right now it pretty clearly includes the following:1.Good
tutorials are available at the Python web site.Neither language
is a good one to try learning as your first, however.And, actually,
the more you can avoid programming in C the more productive you will
be.Other languages of particular importance to hackers include
Perl and LISP.Many people use Perl in the way I
suggest you should use Python, to avoid C programming on jobs that
don't require C's machine efficiency.That experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of
your days, even if you never actually use LISP itself a lot.C++, Java,
Perl, and LISP.Besides being the most important hacking languages,
they represent very different approaches to programming, and each will
educate you in valuable ways.To be a real hacker, you need
to get to the point where you can learn a new language in days by
relating what's in the manual to what you already know.This means
you should learn several very different languages.His "recipe for programming success" is worth
careful attention.Finding good code to read used to be hard, because there were few
large programs available in source for fledgeling hackers to read and
tinker with.Which brings me neatly to our next topic...Unixes and learn to use and run it.I'll assume you have a personal computer or can get access to
one.The hacker
culture originally evolved back when computers were so expensive that
individuals could not own them.Yes, there are other operating systems in the world besides
Unix.If you concentrate on the Unix under the hood
you can learn some useful things.Unix is the operating system of the Internet.While you can
learn to use the Internet without knowing Unix, you can't be an
Internet hacker without understanding Unix.Unix and the Internet has become strong enough that
even Microsoft's muscle doesn't seem able to seriously dent it.Linux myself but there are other
ways (and yes, you can run both Linux and
Microsoft Windows on the same machine).Talk to the Internet with it.You'll get better programming tools (including C, LISP, Python, and
Perl) than any Microsoft operating system can dream of hosting, you'll
have fun, and you'll soak up more knowledge than you realize you're
learning until you look back on it as a master hacker.You might
also want to have a look at The
Art Of Unix Programming.To get your hands on a Linux, see the Linux Online!Linux user group to
help you with installation.During the first ten years of this HOWTO's life, I reported that
from a new user's point of view, all Linux distributions are almost
equivalent.Linux fans call a live
CD, a distribution that runs entirely off a CD without having
to modify your hard disk.Nowadays the installers have gotten
good enough that doing it entirely on your own is possible even for a
newbie.Learn how to use the World Wide Web and write HTML.The Web is the
one big exception, the huge shiny hacker toy that even
politicians admit has changed the world.For
this reason alone (and a lot of other good ones as well) you need to
learn how to work the Web.This doesn't just mean learning how to drive a browser (anyone can do
that), but learning how to write HTML, the Web's markup language.Try to stick to XHTML, which is a cleaner language than classic HTML.But just having a home page isn't anywhere near good enough to
make you a hacker.The Web is full of home pages.But several native speakers of other
languages have urged me to point out that English is the working
language of the hacker culture and the Internet, and that you
will need to know it to function in the hacker community.For similar reasons, translations
of technical books written in English are often unsatisfactory (when
they get done at all).Linus Torvalds, a Finn, comments his code in English (it
apparently never occurred to him to do otherwise).His fluency
in English has been an important factor in his ability to recruit
a worldwide community of developers for Linux.If you can't yet write competently, learn to.Status in the Hacker Culture1.Help keep the infrastructure working5.Serve the hacker culture itselfLike most cultures without a money economy, hackerdom runs on
reputation.You're trying to solve interesting problems, but how
interesting they are, and whether your solutions are really good, is
something that only your technical peers or superiors are normally
equipped to judge.Accordingly, when you play the hacker game, you learn to keep
score primarily by what other hackers think of your skill (this is why
you aren't really a hacker until other hackers consistently call you
one).Specifically, hackerdom is what anthropologists call a gift
culture.You gain status and reputation in it not by dominating
other people, nor by being beautiful, nor by having things other
people want, but rather by giving things away.Specifically, by
giving away your time, your creativity, and the results of your
skill.There are basically five kinds of things you can do to be respected by
hackers:1.The first (the most central and most traditional) is to write
programs that other hackers think are fun or useful, and give the
program sources away to the whole hacker culture to use.Hackerdom's most revered demigods are people who have written large,
capable programs that met a widespread need and given them away, so
that now everyone uses them.There's a natural
progression from helping test programs to helping debug them to
helping modify them.Publish useful informationAnother good thing is to collect and filter useful and
interesting information into web pages or documents like
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists, and make those generally
available.Help keep the infrastructure workingThe hacker culture (and the engineering development of the
Internet, for that matter) is run by volunteers.RFCs and other
technical standards.The hacker culture doesn't have leaders, exactly, but it does have
culture heroes and tribal elders and historians and spokespeople.When you've been in the trenches long enough, you may grow into one of
these.Beware: hackers distrust blatant ego in their tribal elders,
so visibly reaching for this kind of fame is dangerous.Rather than
striving for it, you have to sort of position yourself so it drops in
your lap, and then be modest and gracious about your status.Nerd ConnectionContrary to popular myth, you don't have to be a nerd to be a
hacker.It does help, however, and many hackers are in fact nerds.If you can manage to concentrate enough on hacking to be good at it
and still have a life, that's fine.Points For StyleAgain, to be a hacker, you have to enter the hacker mindset.There
are some things you can do when you're not at a computer that seem to
help.They're not substitutes for hacking (nothing is) but many
hackers do them, and feel that they connect in some basic way
with the essence of hacking.Asian sword arts also have visible followings.Develop an analytical ear for music.Learn to play some musical
instrument well, or how to sing.The more of these things you already do, the more likely it is that you
are natural hacker material.Also, don't be content with a narrow range of skills.PC hardware troubleshooting are common
ones.Concealing your identity behind a handle is a juvenile
and silly behavior characteristic of crackers, warez d00dz, and other
lower life forms.In the hacker culture it will only
mark you as a loser.Other ResourcesPaul Graham has written an essay called Great Hackers, and
another on Undergraduation,
in which he speaks much wisdom.Peter Seebach maintains an excellent Hacker
FAQ for managers who don't understand how to deal with
hackers.There is a document called How To Be
A Programmer that is an excellent complement to this one.It
has valuable advice not just about coding and skillsets, but about
how to function on a programming team.When you release software or write patches for software, try to
follow the guidelines in the
Software Release Practice HOWTO.If you enjoyed the Zen poem, you might also like Rootless Root: The Unix Koans of

hacker community?If you can answer yes to all three of these
questions, you are already a hacker.No two alone are sufficient.You probably pass it if you
have the minimum technical skills described earlier in this document.The second test is about attitude.Do you act
on the belief that computers can be instruments of empowerment that
make the world a richer and more humane place?If someone
tries to recruit you to march on your capitol in the name of the
hacker attitude, they've missed the point.Internet has made connections with the
core of the hacker subculture easier to develop and maintain.Because the "invisible college" that is hacker
culture is a loose and informal one, the role of gatekeeper is
informal too.But one thing that all hackers understand in their
bones is that not every hacker is a gatekeeper.Gatekeepers have to
have a certain degree of seniority and accomplishment before they can
bestow the title.How much is hard to quantify, but every hacker knows
it when they see it.Learn a few things first.Show that you're trying, that you're
capable of learning on your own.Then go to the hackers you meet with
specific questions.If you do email a hacker asking for advice, here are two things
to know up front.Q:How can I get started, then?A:The best way for you to get started would probably be to go to a LUG
(Linux user group) meeting.LUG members will probably
give you a Linux if you ask, and will certainly help you install one
and get started.A:Any age at which you are motivated to start is a good age.Most people who try can acquire a respectable skill set in eighteen
months to two years, if they concentrate.And if you are a real hacker, you will spend the rest
of your life learning and perfecting your craft.It's ugly, and it never stops being
ugly.If you're
starting on a Unix, much better languages with better libraries
are available.No, don't ask me to describe them in
detail; that explanation would fill a book.Anyone who can still ask such a question after reading this FAQ
is too stupid to be educable even if I had the time for tutoring.Any emailed requests of this kind that I get will be ignored or
answered with extreme rudeness.Q:How can I steal channel op privileges on IRC?Every time I've been asked this question so far, it's been
from some poor sap running Microsoft Windows.Windows
like trying to bail out a boat with a sieve.Q:I'm having problems with my Windows software.Any problems you are
experiencing will cease within a few minutes.Q:Where can I find some real hackers to talk with?A:The best way is to find a Unix or Linux user's group local to you and
go to their meetings (you can find links to several lists of user
groups on the LDP site at
ibiblio).Apparently some real
hacker communities, attached to things like GIMP and Perl, have IRC
channels now.For an introduction to Python, see the introductory
materials on the Python site.Q:Do I need to be good at math to become a hacker?Hacking uses very little formal mathematics or arithmetic.Knowing some formal logic
and Boolean algebra is good.Smullyan's playful logical conundrums are very
much in the hacker spirit.Q:What language should I learn first?A:XHTML (the latest dialect of HTML) if you don't already know it.HTML books out there, and distressingly few good ones.The one I like
best is HTML: The
Definitive Guide.Windows users, do not settle for Visual
Basic.Can you help me pick a problem to work on?When you see one that makes you think "Cool!Q:Do I need to hate and bash Microsoft?Not that Microsoft isn't loathsome, but there was a
hacker culture long before Microsoft and there will still be one long after
Microsoft is history.Any energy you spend hating Microsoft would
be better spent on loving your craft.Microsoft quite sufficiently without polluting your karma.A:If you don't have a Unix installed on your machine yet,
elsewhere on this page I include pointers to where to get the most
commonly used free Unix.To be a hacker you need motivation and
initiative and the ability to educate yourself."Please fill out all required fields!"We are selling the domain names www.Hacker Zero can be purchased near the bottom of the page.Fight with a global network of Internet hackers to steal
as much money as you can.Crack into the school network, and make it worth your while.Steal money, files, exploit system administrators, build up your defenses, play casino games to make quick cash, acquire more advanced tools, and much more.The full version unlocks all features in
