What Hackpedia.org is and is NOT
and the meaning of "hack"
by Jonathan Campbell

   To most people "hacking" implies destructive computer activities
involving viruses, trojans, keyloggers, exploiting security holes
and running botnets, and all manner of fantasy hacking seen in
major Hollywood movies.

   That's not what Hackipedia.org is for. Here "hack" is used in
it's original meaning to refer to someone who tweaks and modifies
their equipment for fun or for constructive purposes. To enable
that, this site collects information that a hacker needs to do
whatever he needs or wants to do. Like all knowledge, some
information here can be used for evil and destructive ends, but
the primary intent is that you do something constructive with it.

   This is why I will list files on chipsets, programming APIs,
connectors, and parts, but I will never list stolen credit cards
or serial numbers or any manner of pirated warez. All material on
this site is useful for constructive purposes in one way or another.
