All know, than hackers are engaged - for the majority of mankind it is a word symbolises danger and causes at uneducated negative associations. However very few people from this majority knows the true reason of their behaviour.

Prior to the beginning of use of this term in mass-media, the hacker named the person who well understood programming and itself wrote for itself a software. However after publication in the American newspapers of articles about Kevine Mitnik and Vladimir Levin, this word has got a little negative shade.

Hackers - burglars. But they do not crack apartments, do not plunder old women, and especially kill nobody. Today, in the world of information chaos, there is only one way to learn the truth for certain: to get access to initial materials which nobody hastens to give in charge the public.

"Any information should be free"

Here in what a hacking essence. It not the justification, is the fact.

Most of all the governmental organisations whom as not him to hide the true intentions are afraid of hackers?

In the early nineties it was necessary to create legal precedent on bringing to account for information theft. And above mentioned Kevin Mitnik, the hacker number one became a whipping boy. Mitnik admitted that for access reception to the closed sources used methods of social engineering, instead of cracked access system. Employees of the organisations gave to Kevin access passwords, of course, it them deceived, but it did not press on them, they simply wished to help it.

As a result Mitnik has been caught by agents of FBI, and for the lack of direct proofs to it have shown indirect - drawing of harm which was to define even more difficult, than to find direct proofs. Therefore the companies have not stinted the truth, and on reports have granted the sums of money which have been spent not for restoration of systems, and on repair of holes which were found out by the hacker.

Mitnik has been condemned for four years of imprisonment. Precisely same term is received by the average murderer.

While the Hacker ¹1 was imprisoned, bailed cracked FBI servers, NASA, Microsoft, ANB, and left only one message "Free Kevin".

It became known that all governmental organisations have the right to read mail of usual citizens without warrant reception Later. The same direct infringement of constitutional laws! Hackers have not kept itself waiting long. 64-bit coding of letters was the answer, decipher which the addressee could only.

Certainly, not all hackers use the talents for the society blessing, but, certainly, they where the big altruists, than usual people, whose will is shown only during elections of times in four years. Meanwhile for Russia this theme is not so actual, however this country develops, and it still should face this problem.

The Hak-community in the future also remains de jure out of the law, and de facto becomes spontaneous body of the control of the power, economy and the law. That for us, usual citizens, remains the same secret, as well as components of soups of fast preparation.

And I hope, that next time when you will read a line about capture of one more hacker, you will not concern it prejudicedly, after all is possible, it has gone on a crime for the sake of us.
