The hacker ethic finds its full contextualization in the new global corporate structure. In an arrangement in which communication and information are key aspects of everyday life, and possession of the latter means to exercise power, the act of hackers does not qualify as a method by which to gain a position of hegemony within of new technology companies, but as a way to avoid to have others do so. The intent is not to define knowledge, but to make collective and participatory. Of course, these resolutions are confronted with the fierce opposition of those who want the information to be private property or at least run an elite controlled. The strong interests that govern society, still trying to demolish the figure of these "rebels technology and the most common way to do this is to paint them as the attackers. To understand what the real intentions of hackers have been re-interpreted instrumentally, it is sufficient to translate the word itself that points to them. The literal meaning of the verb to hack is to cut, chop, and it is clear that there would be no side to define them hackers. One of the mentors of philosophy dell'hackeraggio is the Finn Pekka Himanen. He frames these misguided, but failed attempts, the confusion between the figure of the hacker and cracker. The latter is a kind of vandals that has as main goal to destroy. Radically opposite is rather the creed of a hacker. His actions are in fact abatement of any kind of barrier to facilitate a free exchange of information and knowledge. Although the hacker philosophy is difficult to categorize policy, many believe that theirs is a world completely devoid of the traditional anarchist as hierarchical divisions. Indeed it is difficult to contextualize the political action of a hacker in the ideological political schemes both past and present, but one thing can be said with certainty in a world where "knowledge is power" as Francis Bacon said, those who put a spoke in the wheel holders oligopoly communication are the main and most dangerous subversives. Awareness of these risks means that governments and multinational computer from all over the globe, or attempt to recruit from their ranks, or eliminate it. The main engine of hacker philosophy is a passion. The idea that true knowledge passes through the sharing of discoveries means that their world is changing, increasingly rich and difficult to defend. One of the main goals that hackers are currently pursuing is free software. Tired of being trapped by a mesh of multinational business, developing new forms of management of the car that make it more flexible and able to respond to the intentions of each type of user. The beauty of a program lies in its ability to transform itself continuously in order to meet different tastes and opinions. As one of the main limits to the movement and evolution of knowledge is their cost, hackers are openly against any license, under the benevolent effort to protect the rights of authorship, pursues a hidden intent to slow the progression of knowledge and make it public once it is made harmless. With this motivation, they are the most motivated and most bitter antagonists of the copyright supporters of other types of license like creative commons or copyleft. Their goal is to ensure that all programs and softwares have the source code open, so as to ensure that any user can work and improve it at will, then later make it available to the community. Another of the basic elements of philosophy dell'hackeraggio is the decentralization of information. In fact, if these are under protection of a few selected individuals who follow other purposes than those of the community, it is unlikely that real growth takes place it. Therefore you must create a new aggregate social that allows modern viewers to become actors. 'S why they are given a number of appointments, this time hiding, where they can exchange discoveries and achievements. Apparently you can believe that the life of a hacker is almost ascetic, because it does nothing to show and hide everything. Indeed, it is undeniable that the majority of his time to take place in direct contact with the personal computer, and usually excludes the presence of third parties, but in reality this statement there are at least two elements on which to reflect and clarify. Hackers are forced to appear as if they did not compromise the safe the outcome of their projects, given the ruthless fighter who suffer from institutions and, secondly, although their activities are carried out effectively by a machine that does not mean that they are not part of a vast community, albeit radically different from the traditional. Their goal is to "redesign" the way of life exists. Is particularly interesting to note that hackers have created a world outside of this type, but designed a series of possible changes on a large scale. They often spent, and the free software movement is a clear demonstration, to show that their precepts are widely applicable to companies today force. The idea that such ideas could not allow being achieved, further screening was implemented by the authorities of the information. Decant the impossibility of applying these models libertarian universe of information, allow them, in fact, to describe her as champions of the little simple challenging keen sense of reality and the infinite sense of imagination. Another of the fundamental precepts dell'hacheraggio is the ability to "free spaces" both physical and virtual. New technologies have created many new dimensions of space. Cause these are not available to a few and they are instead of multiplicity, is one of the essential goals of the doctrine. To this will be explicit duty of a hacker to improve everything that can be improved. The ethical hacker is quite strict, he is not allowed to destroy a program, but only actions to improve it. You can delete your data to cancel the visibility of its passage, but not affect others only for mere fun. As shown in the hacker ethic is a real counterculture. The term is more than appropriate because it does not move within cultures camera, but it creates a completely new and even opposed, said the subversive spirit. The idea of \u200b\u200bbeing able to help the world to acquire knowledge, is any of the latest generation of hackers and patrimony of the first (generations so far identified are three). This purpose is punishable only by experimenting and releasing the infinite potential of human creativity; will these new players to make the machines from mere computer casings ice means of new knowledge. The beauty of a product will be the metaphor of the infinite human possibilities. The more the result is fascinating, especially the desire to grow and continue to investigate the path taken. He will also have to not only become aware of if, but increasing his sense of responsibility no longer only to itself, but also towards their fellow humans. Following this logic is pretty obvious the need to consider how the company founded on the concept of egalitarianism, that is, without any discriminatory based on sex, race, religion, etc.. All are called to interact with the machine and to integrate as much as possible, and everyone will have the option. We must replace the ordinary logic of a new vertical hierarchy and horizontal. But this will not mean to consider all of the same level and not to recognize the peculiarity, but empowering and encouraging activism. The hacker ethic is strong merit, they will be recognized on the basis of the results that will be able to get. This effectively is a key element for the maximum effort to allow everyone to reach higher levels. Meritocracy hackers also founded the confidence of one another. Those who fail to achieve concrete goals to improve the transmission capacity, understanding and dissemination of knowledge, will be trusted by their colleagues, and therefore may be involved in the goal of a higher level. It 'difficult for a person to become "accidentally" a hacker, though obviously this does not mean that they belong to categories standardized and always the same, stand out for a heightened passion and sense of community. Perhaps the clearest example of these statements is in the famous Luther Blissett. The author of Q and Marituana is actually an acronym for a counter-action which uses psychological warfare to sabotage the power to exercise control over the media. Anyone can freely appropriating the collective name, all activists are called Luther and this makes it possible to identify them: the identity registry is cleared with the intention of losing to in-with-ecutions to become individuals. This movement, as well as being ideal for the concept of timeshare is able to achieve tangible results immediately or to put in a strong blow to the mechanism of copyright and royalties. The use of the same name for a significant number of individuals to be also an opportunity to highlight another feature of the hacker ethic, which is what Bey calls "psychic nomadism". This represents the abandonment of family membership, ethnic, national, geographic, religious, political groups, and identity strictly understood, it becomes a new culture that is, adjusted for the emergence of new and innovative relational dynamics. An important reference of the hackers are the BBS (Bulletin Board System). They recognize their role as an autonomous form of information management from large media oligopolies, and would indeed was a model as a method of protection of free thought. Since the form of counter-culture, obviously wary of the hackers in general, and especially of the industrial bureaucracy. It, linked to the logic of property information, is irreconcilable with the moral dell'hackeraggio politically, and indeed expression of the cultural model that is meant to overthrow. The dream of the hackers is in fact very different from that of commercial agents of computing. The latter are liable to put the harness technology, which do not leave to follow a path of natural evolution, and that the completed vehicle and exclusively to its interests. Another source of conflict is the demand for hackers to maintain the anonymity of each user. According to their philosophy is inadmissible fact of filing any form without the specific consent of the navigation computer. Often the companies use the Internet to send commercial messages designed to advertise their products, the laws should be much more harsh with these types of phenomena rather than to those who seek to expand the mesh information and use the most possible subjects in the social framework. This element of contrast what is perhaps more than any other figure made famous in the world of hackers. It 'true that they sample a taste considered in a new revolutionary vanguard and therefore the center of attention of world powers. Of course, the clash, which was founded on ideological basis, however, soon became an excuse to mock and revenge. Those who might be appropriate to define the new pioneers of knowledge, have become so real figures of the imagination of every individual, and fueled stories and legends on their own behalf, film and publishing have immediately implemented and used to their advantage. The main aim, however, was and remains: to bring the computer to masses, and make half a revolutionary act to subvert the established order through the promotion of knowledge. Because change is indeed radical, the computer will also be the means by which to promote a new aesthetic that takes into account, on the one hand, utility, and secondly the need to give the building its a beauty and exiled by its author . Hackers communicate with each other through what is commonly called the "computer underground". This network of relationships is an open alternative horizontal exchange of information, non-official and non-hierarchical, and its social organization is at the minimum level of sophistication, that colleagues. Here hackers develop new knowledge and exchange and integrate with those achieved by other colleagues. Often cooperate to achieve a common project, and that implies trust, acquired with the idea of \u200b\u200bactively related to the previously cited meritocracy. In these places, though faceless, hackers will develop a network of relationships appropriate to the objective of overthrowing the existing cultural patterns. The "revolution" will necessarily entail a redefinition of man. He must be conceived real author of his own life and stop accepting mail from other barriers to knowledge. Must acquire the necessary strength and curiosity to overcome their alienation and prevent anyone from learning how to convey knowledge.
E 'imperative to remove hackers knowledge as purely economic factors (some would come completely removed the ability to earn through information). The time devoted to the dissemination of knowledge is not just a job, and therefore should not be regarded strictly as such, that is subject to the strict logic of profit and those of geographical bias. Spread independently of its revenues, will allow the world to know and recognize himself from Tokyo to Kabul. This will: firstly remove the differences in instrumental and artificial other and constantly evolve towards a common world that walk together, respecting the differences between them. Until you get to know mainly mean acquisition of money and power, it will be impossible to remove the barriers of the human ego in favor of the free flow of society. Must necessarily, as people are living in the era of capitalism, to find new ways in which to combine the two elements and focus, however, the public spirit of the intent with respect to its purely economic side. From as far argued, it is easy to deduce how the hacker is a moral danger to today's power structures. If the circulation of knowledge was indeed free and beneficial to anyone, it is conceivable that there would be nothing short of structural changes, and that all those who until now have been perceived as certainties cease to be. Given the load of the challenge of hacking has decided to face, no wonder the repeated government statements and not intended to limit the phenomenon. In fact, if the intentions of the hackers come true, not only should the crisis in the traditional figures of power, but the same system as the basis. Nevertheless, the actions of multinational computer, not only outlines how censorship and exclusion, but also as attempts to co-optation of the hacker world. There are many successful attempts of large companies in corrupting the "digital revolutionaries." This is because they are not just a threat, but connoisseurs of computer science, and therefore new skills to their service. Nevertheless, the underworld dell'hackeraggio is now becoming a force that seem uncontrollable. Even in countries where censorship shows its brutal side, hackers are able to be bearers of the counterculture and sometimes to acquire new knowledge to the masses. One of the seas where they often wallow, is the emerging phenomenon of bloggers. Often they create sites where counter show the other side of the coin, or discredit the accounts given by the authorities. Multiply also the sites where you can find material or cracked programs and subject to strict licensing scheme. In short, hackers are no longer drops into the sea, but a substantial part of it. By highlighting those that are the hallmarks of ethical hackers, leaving a completely different picture than the one where you are used to place it. Always portrayed as the "traccheggiatori" unscrupulous, are the commonest of technology enthusiasts and supporters of global knowledge. Analyze what are the fundamental characteristics hacker ideology, we realize that in this category, a much larger number of people instead of what would be a community of "vandals". The goals that are intended to have a thickness of ethics and a truly amazing potential. And that is why today are perhaps the social gradient less stops. A hacker is not some kind of superhero, but an ordinary person who can speak the language of the machine, this is what the powers that be reluctant today are realizing information. Where once it was possible to flush them out by searching in the old cellars where they were usually, today appeared behind every single computer and to control them becomes increasingly difficult. The potential of the car and especially the Internet, are too large to be limited. Despite several inventions censorship will always be highly uneven quantity and quality of forces, and looking to the future seems likely that multinational computer are obliged to take steps back. Of course, these predictions are still far from finding empirical confirmation, and may be considered fundamentally change the value of the stake. And 'this fact should be borne constantly in mind that when you look at the evolution of the intentions of the powers controrisposte hackers and information. If hackers were to (even in a very distant future) to win this battle, the characteristics of the company known until now would dramatically revolutionized. Probably the very idea of \u200b\u200bdemocracy will be reviewed. Transparency no longer depend on sensitivity and the civic sense of the various directors, but the fact that people may experience first hand and decide accordingly. The truth of the facts would not be open to interpretation of a small group of individuals but of a much larger community. The goal is still far away, but increased dramatically in people who have a deep skepticism about the dominant channels. They are very few still those who believe in the sincerity of the spontaneous system, and more while those who begin to harbor serious doubt that it is all the much more complex than seems. Many recent studies have shown that sharing methods, forms and contents of knowledge, can achieve incredible, much more important than the result instead of the personality of its authors. Just spread these data, would at least understand that the path you are following is not intended to make that man knows as much as possible in their lifetime, but one decided by people who know very well that for keep a particular role in both social and political need to convey and sometimes censor the information. This particular period of history seems to be becoming aware of this vicious circle, but still confused and perplexed methods through which free of it.
It 'obvious that this world lacks a new morality and that we should regain space permanently abandoned, but should we not look with the same attention to those who have recently opened? Indeed, the freedom to act freely on a personal computer, and the right to use any technology known until now without any restriction, does not qualify as a simple battle between computer and keeping out the rest of society, but as a conflict that concerns in person this last. All those who believe they can still exist different ways of life that must be personally engaged in this new battle. Uncontrollable spaces have proliferated, and now more than ever, the man must leave their alienation and take possession of his life. E 'on the other hand, perhaps this is the real meaning of freedom, as he told an old cant'autore now disappeared: participation.
