Welcome to the alt.2600/#hack FAQ: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about
Hacking
The purpose of the alt.2600/#hack FAQ is to give you a general introduction to
the art and science of hacking. No document will make you a hacker.
Please use the information contained in the alt.2600/#hack FAQ wisely.
If you have a question regarding any of the topics covered in the
alt.2600/#hack FAQ, please direct it to the alt.2600 newsgroup. Please do
not e-mail me your questions; I do not have time to respond to each
request personally.
The alt.2600/#hack FAQ started as a FAQ for the IRC channel #hack and was
later adopted by the alt.2600 newsgroup. The alt.2600/#hack FAQ now exists
as a web document for all of the Internet.
The alt.2600 / #hack FAQ is no longer maintained as an ASCII text file.
The only authoritative source for the current alt.2600/#hack FAQ is on the
