Where do hackers learn to hack?
Yesterday I saw a video about a 17-year-old who hacked Rockstar Games and released GTA 6 footage. The guy didn't have anyone around him he could have learned it from. Where do they learn it from, I wonder, because you can't teach yourself everything. I understand teaching yourself how to program, but hacking big companies as a 17-year-old? I can't quite wrap my head around how you learn something like that. Even though he probably had people on the internet who taught him something, he must have started it himself.

Hacking does not describe an ability, but only an intention and motivation. Anyone with basic programming skills and even often without the same and only with the motivation and know-how to get the necessary information can “hack”.
The term originates from the fact that for certain keyboard commands you had to quickly hack into the keys in a very short time. In the meantime, it is meant that one is able to use programming errors of others with a lot of skill in order to use certain functions and services against the will of developers and operators of software and hardware in order to get to or manipulate foreign, protected data.
Generally on the Internet. On Youtube there are also many videos about various attacks or how to crack a program. Of course, always with the disclaimer “only for learning purposes”.
it has never been as easy to learn as today. The problem is rather the laziness of today’s generations. No Bock long time to spend with something, no Bock hard foundations to learn would rather dare the big projects and logically fail. You can learn everything.
You can also answer without starting a “the generation is doof”-step.
I’ll tell you what it is. I don’t want to say that everyone’s on it, but a lot of them, that’s a fact. I used to moan lawn with neighbors so I could afford books to teach me programming. Internet didn’t exist. Today, it’s easier than ever, and yet a good 90% of people in this forum don’t even get to ask simple questions in Google. That says enough.
Then explain how she can. I am familiar with study methodology, am curious.
I’m sorry if that went past you. 🙄
The PISA studies compare different competencies of students currently between countries. A comparison to the same country in the past does not provide any indication that the general knowledge has decreased
So your source does not prove your thesis, but that you use false sources to justify your questionable views
Again, I’m talking about the bulk! The quota! It’s never been that bad. If you don’t believe me, believe the PISA study.
Oh, no. it is the naked truth. 🤷🏼
That’s just lying. In the history of mankind, is this just the deepest point in general education?
You’re about to be better.
I think the youth is much more committed than the youth before. Much. I don’t know what you have for a focus
Edit: Depending on what youth we are talking about. The hippie movement was of course remarkable, but I guess you’re not that old. What came after that was rather weak
I cannot confirm that too. The majority of today’s youth has no idea of politics and what is going on in the world at all. The level of general education has never been so low and the school system is not responsible.
There are always aspects that change in generations. Can I imagine, for example, that the current young generation has become more passive due to the variety of stimuli. For this purpose, the generation tends to rethink in other areas, e.g. more politically active in terms of the environment, etc. The generations were extremely passive
This is not “I’ve done so much more,” that’s “I think more of myself than others.”
For thousands of years, it has always been the new generation that is unreliable, lazy, stupid and prestige. But you used to be the same.
There was no big buck just after you grew up, you just perceive young people as you were perceived earlier.
search for information on how it works on the internet, you don’t have to know anyone.
“you can’t teach yourself everything yourself.” And how.
