He has two tumors on his heart. With that sentence you can see down the road. Make A Wish will not touch this because I guess it's it is illegal just to be a hacker for good or some bs. I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way. I keep searching for good hackers but it seems like they have that rep of bad. Please help....Posting this in different communities to help out btw so don't get jealous. Much love to all.

That's not a hacker that's a media pirate. It's the same today. Get a VPN, a torrent client and go to piratebay. You're there.

So what is a Hacker? Simply someone who is deeply curious about how things work and has a high aptitude for visual reasoning, making them able to figure out how to get things to do stuff the designer never intended. Such a person cannot be stopped from exploring how things work. Its in their blood. As such they will deeply learn anything they study.
