The Hacker's Manifesto (1998 by Morbus & Stillborn) The hacker's manifesto, 1998 by Morbus & Stillborn On Monday, June 22, 1998, the webserver that Disobey.com resided on was hacked. After two days of people coming to the site in hopes of finding the quality content that they have grown accustomed too, they were met with 404's in every direction. It sucked real bad. Our first reaction, was of course, one of anger. All of our hard work destroyed by one person with a lucky keypress. And then we started laughing. Some background information: The Hacker's Manifesto was released long ago, by a person named the Mentor. This is the 1998 version of the Hacker's Manifesto.

And without further adieu: The Hacker's Manifesto, 1998 Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. I am a Hacker, enter my world... I made a discovery today. Damn kid. I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... We are second generation self titled hackers, the kind that security has no fear of. The Mozilla Manifesto. Introduction The Internet is becoming an increasingly important part of our lives. The Mozilla project is a global community of people who believe that openness, innovation, and opportunity are key to the continued health of the Internet. We have worked together since 1998 to ensure that the Internet is developed in a way that benefits everyone. We are best known for creating the Mozilla Firefox web browser.

The Mozilla project uses a community-based approach to create world-class open source software and to develop new types of collaborative activities. As a result of these efforts, we have distilled a set of principles that we believe are critical for the Internet to continue to benefit the public good as well as commercial aspects of life.

The goals for the Manifesto are to: These principles will not come to life on their own. Principles Advancing the Mozilla Manifesto There are many different ways of advancing the principles of the Mozilla Manifesto. Mozilla Foundation Pledge Invitation. A Hacker Manifesto. Hacker's Manifesto. The Hacker Manifesto. By +++The Mentor+++ Written January 8, 1986 Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker?

I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... Damn underachiever. I'm in junior high or high school. Damn kid. I made a discovery today. Damn kid. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. Damn kid. You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. Yes, I am a criminal. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto.
