BROWSING with CHEATS: Right or Wrong?

[Ceon]

Is it right or wrong, hacking into MTN or oda network provided 2browse free. some guys say it is dere BIRTH right while odas say dose network providers extort so much money wen Dey follow right process. Wat's ur take on d situation.

[phronesis]

So, to help with this discussion, I have provided a Wikipedia definition of hacking below:

Hacking (English verb to hack, singular a hack) refers to the re-configuring or re-programming of a system to function in ways not facilitated by the owner, administrator, or designer. The term(s) have several related meanings in the technology and computer science fields, wherin a "hack" may refer to a clever or quick fix to a computer program problem, or to what may be perceived to be a clumsy or inelegant (but usually relatively quick) solution to a problem.

The terms "hack" and "hacking" are also used to refer to a modification of a program or device to give the user access to features that were otherwise unavailable, such as DIY circuit bending. It is from this usage that the term "hacking" is often incorrectly used to refer to more nefarious criminal uses such as identity theft, credit card fraud or other actions categorized as computer crime, there being a distinction between security breaking and hacking, a better term for security breaking would be "cracking".

So, should we be referring to hacking or cracking? Are we hacking or cracking MTN network to browse for free?

[ejibond]

@ceon...why beating around d bush wen u already knw d answer to d question.

[Com. Oz]

Technology is really like that, if someone discovers a weak-link in ur system what you do is to cover it up. For Gods sake MTN should have covered up this cheat cos thats what wat every network company does, some even go as far a paying hackers to try there systems.
If people I surfing free and MTN and other operators are not stopping it than we have cos to fear, this might mean just one thing- incompetency and we should be careful for our account balance.

Cheat or no cheat, hacking or no hacking, creaking or no creaking, by-passing a firewall is not wrong in the world of information and communication tech. It is called Ethical hacking.

I don't even know what to think. But I don't think its morally right to crack.

[Engr. Dayco]

Na wa oo for this kind topic oo! I think the right info has been displayed up there. I just want to make it clear that am not a cracker and i dnt use that language  i only hack to learn....i dnt gain anything from that,it's just that i felt like helping people{students} with what i think God endowed in me. Thank you guys but i must confess the truth.
HACKING ISN'T A BAD THING AFTER ALL, WE ARE ALL LIVING IN A HACKED WORLD. Use the correct term "Crack" and not "Hack" am a Hacker and i cherish that.....

[raphokocha]

@engr dayco hw can i get this free browsing software

[DJ Gbala]

It depends on wat u use it 4.

[youngbobby]

The real fact is that while most people are using if for something useful like to show the network providers their loophole(s) so they can fix it, others are using it up for useless ventures even small kids these days claim they "hack". I'll advice that if you do such and think that it's gonna be the pathway to your future, then i think you should give it a "re-think". Get busy!!!
