Hackers, a definition

[Anti Hacker]

As for having a HDTV, this would be great if any of the versions of PS actually supported HDTV or SDTV, so anyone playing PSO on a 14 inch screen is getting the same resolution.

We made our own special version

I'm pretty sure if you had that much money you wouldn't waste so much time on these forums, or complain so much about certain PSO players. If it really doesn't matter to you then you don't need to reply to this

one more thing. is exploiting glitches hacking? i don't think it is just because isn't hacking manipulating a game by changing things in it? and isn't exploiting glitches just making use of stuff that is already in the game? isn't it different in a way? not sure. please tell me.

as a side note, don't bump old topics....
everyone lays the game like they want, exept if that ivolves destroying the fun of others.
duping is a glitch, don't do it since it's cosidered hacking, ppl abuse it

You can't bump a sticky.

Hacking a game is in no way similar to physical attacks based on racial prejudice; that's a very moronic statement. One reason being it's a game. Yes, you may lose some 'hard work' you put into it, but it's nothing compared to someone killing somebody close to you. If you want to learn hacks, go somewhere else. Also racism is defined as being an either physical, written, or spoken attack based upon the colour of the victim's skin; there are hackers of every race, so it is not racism.

I hack. I don't hack games, it takes the fun out of it and makes you look like a moron. I hack websites, because I enjoy reading through the hidden items in them; finding passwords to locked sections, etc.

Exploiting is another way of saying 'taking advantage of'. Exploiting a glitch is one step below hacker, basically.

oh yeah sticky, sorry pso king......
well, hackers try to hack, finding a glitch or a but usually does not make a big difference, but the duping bug or the god of equip that sega servers had where bad.
duping we know that ppl abuse it sometimes......so in that case its almost a hack, like nomercy said

Alright, since this topic is no longer dead, i wanna give you guys a seperation between two types of hackers
Script Kiddies: The most common hackers, they google for hacks, download it, then use a script to do w/e they want, most under age of 13, have huge egos
Hackers: Within these hackers are two types (go figure)
Basic Hackers: Make most of their own hacks or all, and use only for the game
Hacker Hackers: Make their own hacks, use for game, internet, hacking other computers, etc

saying all hackers or crackers are bad is predjudice I think that some are good and some are bad. for example some governments might use hackers or crackers in a case of natural security to hack into a terrorists computer. or like the one guy said some might try and take down a racist website. I imagine nobody has a problem stopping people who are trying to blow you up or trying to kill somebody because of their skin color. I agree that some are bad but not all are. and saying that all of them are bad is essentially racist in itself. I kind of want to know some hacks just because my xbox is probably going to die any day now and if I do get an xbox 360 I don't want to spend another 150 hours of my life making another level 106 character. also my cousins come over to play sometimes and I don't want to spend forever getting good weapons for them all the time. also I don't think that scoot bull doesn't care what other people think about her. everyone cares about what other people think about them whether we want to or not. I also agree with everyone else. I don't mind if there are hackers or crackers as long as they don't hurt anybody's data or start a war of some sort.

You cant be racist towards hackers if you dont know their skin color, you can be BIAS, but not racist, a majority of hackers do it for fun, the thrill, the others do it for personal gain

"saying that all of them are bad is essentially racist in itself."


yeah sorry I was trying to make a point and I guess i kind of messed up on my words. you are right what i meant was biased but there is some other thing I was thinking of that I don't remember. sorry you are right I will delete my earlier post.

Many of the people I've played with on BB whom have used character mods, or for example one particular example a player I know as EphenSteve, uses scripts and trainers. The majority of the scrpt-users I've played with, through simply listening to their chats, would be at least 16, s many state they must leave to go to work, and what have you.

Actually, hackers who only use hacks in games are called Game Hackers, as a rule. A true hacker does not waste time on things such as that. "Hacker Hackers" as you so tamely put it, does for the most part ring true. Though mostly now, all the hacks that can be thought of have already been made, so it's just a task of refining what you learn from others. An example, which I on't put here, is a virus program I recently changed called a Batch-bomb. My particular version is able to create ghost copies of files while deleting the originals.

However, in online gaming terms, there are two different archetypes of hackers. White Hat and Black Hat. White Hats are good hackers. They will help you restore items etc. lost in game problems. Black Hats are malicious attackers.

Also, Script Kiddies are in fact hackers. They just suck at it.

In my own words in a document I wrote once, pertaining as to the reasons behind me hacking, I said this.

We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

Basically though, you can't label hackers. We're all alike.

I've heard of the god of equip hack. my question is it a hack or a glitch? Also what exactly does it do? just wondering. I like furthering my knowledge in things that have nothing whatsoever to do with school. it's a little problem i have.

There are two factors to God of Equip. Factor one allows you to equip any weapon, regardless of class or level. Factor two allows you to equip more than one weapon at a time.
