The new Xuanne community was officially launched in early November, and the first batch of users in the education network were mainly concentrated in the major universities in Jiangzhou, mainly Jiangzhou University, because Duan Yanyue spared no effort to publicize before, so, the launch of the Xuanne community in the education network can be described as highly anticipated, on the day of the launch, the number of new registered users soon showed a surge, which brought a lot of pressure to the server of the Xuanne community, fortunately, Xiao Yuan and Duan Yanyue had already considered this situation, with the help of Yang Jingchen, I applied to Jiangzhou University and temporarily increased the server bandwidth limit to 800Mbps, so that the network was not congested by a large number of users in an instant.

Similar to the surge in users of the Xuanni community in the education network, on the day of the launch of the new version of the Xuanni forum outside the education network, in addition to the old users of the Xuanni forum, the number of visitors who came to watch reached an astonishing level, and this effect is related to the forum revision post published in the name of feonix on the Xuanni forum, as well as the many new features mentioned in the post.

When people open the community homepage with curiosity to see what the newly revamped Genne community will be like, and can't wait to experience the homepage of individuals who publish freely and the wiki that claims to be the most free documentation, but when they open the forum homepage, they are quickly attracted by an article titled - Justifying Hackers.

"I am a hacker feonix, and I hereby entrust the Xuan Ne open source community to publish this article to achieve the purpose of proving it for hackers."

This is the first sentence of the article, the reason why Xiao Yuan wants to move Feonix out again is naturally to increase the weight of this article, because he knows very well that this article is sent out in the name of a freshman student, and the effect that can be sent out in the name of Feonix is absolutely different.

"What kind of people are hackers? A group of saboteurs who hide in the dark, always trying to hack into other people's computer systems, write computer viruses and spread them everywhere? A group of turtles who don't shave for a week, don't get a haircut for three months, and wear sloppy clothes? A bunch of nerds who can't speak and have communication barriers? ”

Xiao Yuan opened the article with a series of self-questions and answers, wrote some common misconceptions about hackers, and then began to explain his own views.

“…… I want to say that the above is just a misunderstanding that people have about hackers, I don't know when these misunderstandings about hackers have become the mainstream definition of hackers, but anyone who really understands the origin of the word hacker knows that these are not the real meaning of hacking, so what is the real meaning of hacking? ……”

“…… To understand the true meaning of hacking, it is necessary to understand the origin of the word hacker, hacker is the transliteration of the English hacker, in English, the solution to the puzzle is called hack. The dictionary explanation of hack is chopping (wood), and solving a computer puzzle is like cutting down a big tree. Correspondingly, the process of completing this hack is called hacking, and the person who engages in hacking is a hacker, that is, a hacker, from which, we can first sketch a definition: a hacker is a person who is good at solving problems, good at innovation, and has his own unique style Jing'er's exquisite skills......"

"Of course, the meaning of any word will change with the change of history, and the word hacker, which originally referred to being good at solving problems, was also given a deeper meaning shortly after the invention of the computer, and Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, said: Solving a problem out of interest, whether it is useful or not, is a hacker, and Stallman's view describes the most orthodox definition of hacker......"

After some elaboration, Xiao Yuan finally came up with what he considered to be the definition of a hacker:

“…… Here, I will extend the meaning of the word hacker again, give the definition of hacker in my mind, and also achieve the purpose of correcting the name of hacker: hacker is a group of people who study computer technology because of interest, a group of people who are willing to put in a lot of effort and hard work because they purely like computer technology, freedom and interest are the core values of hacker spirit......"

Next, Xiao Yuan gave some examples to further elaborate and support his views.

“…… In the 70s of the last century, a person named Thomson in Bell Labs wrote the famous UNIX system in order to make his game have a better operating environment, and in order to write UNIX, he specially designed a programming language, which is the famous C language; In the nineties, Li Nas, a master's student at the University of Helsinki, in the process of learning the principles of the operating system, was not satisfied with the performance of the demonstration system minix written by the tutor, so he wrote the basic kernel of an operating system by himself, and put it on the Internet to share with others for free, this is Linux, there is no doubt that Thomson and Linus have never hacked into any system, but no one can deny that they are real hackers, and it is these great hackers, It is hard for me to imagine what our computer technology and computer industry would be like without their contributions......

"So, some people want to say, the so-called no wind can not be lang, why do hackers now make people have a lot of misunderstandings, equating invasion and destruction with it?"

After Xiao Yuan expounded on the true hacker spirit, he raised the above questions, and then answered them according to his own understanding:

"One of the most important core values of hackers is freedom, from which it can be inferred that hackers are often unruly, disobedient and rebellious, so hackers usually disdain the rules imposed by managers that restrict their behavior, and will find ways to circumvent them. Part of the reason is to use the computer freely, and part part of it is to show that you are smart. For example, the various security measures of computer equipment are the most common things that are cracked by hackers. ”

"For hackers, a closed door is a provocation, and a locked door is an insult, and hackers believe that people should be allowed to freely use all kinds of tools and information as long as it helps to improve the status quo and explore the unknown, which may be the initial motivation for hackers to hack computer systems, and here I want to emphasize that the main purpose of their invasion is not to infringe on the interests of others, which is fundamentally different from those computer criminals who claim to be hackers."

"The misconception of hackers has a lot to do with the fact that some media outlets focus on and emphasize only a very narrow aspect of hacking - system intrusion, and these media irresponsible reports simply define hackers as people who hack systems and breach security facilities. Since then, many people who don't know about hackers have a wrong view of hackers. At the same time, the problem is further complicated by the fact that the programmers who hacked into the computer also call themselves "hackers". ”

"I, like many other traditional hackers, have never agreed with the use of the word hacker in this way, and in order to clarify the concept of hacking, I think that only hackers in the traditional sense can be called hackers, and those who are driven by profits, deviate from the essence of hacking, and maliciously hack into computer systems, or simply call them computer criminals, or saboteurs are more appropriate......

In view of people's misunderstanding of hackers and their strong antipathy to hackers, Xiao Yuan became fierce in his wording when he wrote the above paragraph, expressing a very clear love and hatred between the lines, and finally, he appealed:

“…… All the hackers who agree with my point of view and agree with what I call the hacker spirit, with a sense of justice, can unite and work together to justify the name of hackers, so that the hacker spirit can return to the sun, and then we can all say loudly, I am a hacker! ”

Although Wang Junpeng's conspiracy and framing him added some other utilitarian factors to his founding of the Xuanne open source community, he did not forget the fundamental purpose of his founding of the Xuanne community - to justify the name of hackers and create a free paradise for all hackers in China and even the world.

Although Xiao Yuan had also expounded the hacker spirit in the name of feonix before, in that apology letter, it was only an apology letter, and the elaboration of the hacker spirit was also superficial, and it was not expanded at all, and today's article is different, the title is to correct the name of the hacker, and the content is fully expanded, plus this article is from feonix, the chemical reaction that many factors can produce makes many people who are curious to see the revision of the Xuanne community fall into contemplation.
