Female Hackers

[yuujirou]

hmm....just wondering...
but has anyone ever heard of a female hacker???
too my knowledge and experience..
all serious hackers that i've encountered have turned out too be males......
(i mean.....like..serious hacking where the hacker KNOWS what he's doing, and not just following an online tutorial of 'how to hack maple story' and what not, lolz)

It's kinda hard to answer your question. There's always the debate on what a "Hacker" is.

However, what it takes to be a hacker or whatever you wish to call them is different and yes, there are women who have the skill and curiosity necessary to find themselves in that sort of category.

It depends on which color you're talking about.

There are three different colors, if you didn't know.

Black- you hack for, I know this sounds overused but, evil.

White- you hack for the government, and whatnot to collect stolen information.

Grey- you hack for yourself, and yourself only.

Hope this was any help. If not, sorry for the spam.

I don't really agree with or follow such a color coded idea of who's who and what they do (nor does anyone else i know) but like I said... people online have debated such things forever.

The idea of black and white could be applied to the legality/morality of someone's activities. Not who or what they "work" for.

As far as male or female, I don't think one sex is more prevalent in malicious OR genuinely curious (learning experience) type "hacking".

Hacking in a very easy process.

I know tons of female and male hackers.


But hacking is just fucking rude.
It's like going through someones room.
You just don't do it.

haha......w/ a few billion people there....
there's gotta be atleast 'ONE' desu ne? xDD

@aota o.O" wow...never woulda conceived of such a colour code system~
but i was more questioning on the level of hacking
like...low level hacking (to me) would be following tutorials too do small time things (i.e. hack a game; upload contemporary viruses, etc.)

high level hacking (again, to me) would be something like bypassing security measures, especially those difficult ones and what not~

Yes, there are female hackers. ( I am trying hard not to type D U H)
The ones I know work(ed) for companies verifying their security, either as internal auditors or as contractors. They are paid to try to break into systems, then report on the security weaknesses and provide recommendations for improvement.

However, I don't recall any females being caught doing it illegally and making the news. But then I don't knowingly associate with those with such lack of conscience and morals - male or female.

Of course there are female hackers.
If she sets her mind to it, she can do whatever she wants.
