For me, it was about trying to find a target. It sounds simple, but its far more complicated than you think. You have to map out what you want, you have to know your target better than yourself, you have to make sure your target is a legitimate one, not too far fetched or nonexistent. Being a hacker is not about breaking down your barriers. You have to find what you want on the other side and make a path around the weaknesses of your barriers, and get out without anybody knowing so you can do it over and over again..

Hacking into computers was always natural for me. But I got serious after 2009, when the Iranian Government started arresting and torturing thousands of innocent people for protesting for their legitimate rights. For the first time, I saw that Hacking did have a use that could change this world for the better. Thats how I found my first target.

The biggest hurdle you will face in the public hacking scene is the toxic, horrible community of toxic, horrible people. Everything else is cake compared to that.

I will admit I sometimes contribute to this, because I want to see it burn.

He is right. I have met a lot of horrible people everywhere. But sometimes, if you want to find friends, you have to wade through the dicks.
