Thread: how imp. is it to stay anonymous?

Thats a very interesting Topic you put up Er3bus:

There would be multiple opinions...

My personal opinions is No matter How people are considering "Hackers" (Good or Bad) its always good to Keep you real life and online life seperate.
There are multiple reasons for it

1) You dont know who the exact person is if you have only met him online. It is very easy to pretend to be some one else in Online life.
But that is not the case in Real life.

2) Some times your talks / opinions in Online life might be considered bad by the people in Real life (Who are not hackers).

3) You Carrier also might get impact if you tell about things you do online (even if they might be ethical). People in India still dont take Hacker / Hacking as good work.

Till the time we hackers dont take initiative to build a good image for the word "Hacker" it would remain the same.

So my personal opinion Keep your real life and online life seperate.

Hmm.. nice reply , just a question, do u really think that we would be able to build good name if lulz. and anonymous and all that indishell and pak cyber army thing continues?
we are skilled , still not respected..

That day will come when ....future wars will be fought in cyberworld and not in battlefield.

Primary reason behind direspect for the word "Hacker(s)" is media.
Media loves to potrate big bad dangerous Cyber Criminal and they name them Hackers.

Secondary reason behind disrespect are white hat Hackers ourselves, as per normal reply to the media by us would be "f*uk" them who cares"
But till the time we dont come forward to the real world and media and clear the "Hacker" name from criminalities associated with it it would be same.
There would always be some people who would be doing illegal things by the help of their knowledge. But that doesnt mean there are not good people.
The people who are ethical should come forward and educate people what a Hacker is tell them a Cyber Criminal is not Hacker. We should come forward and encourage people to change their mind set.
Do some creative activities in the real world (For example conduct trainings, give seminars about Ethial Hacking). Only after such task the media would also start potrating the good side of "Hackers"

Yeah media sucks!
i just dont get why the f*ck they dont use "black hats" or "crackers" to represent those criminals.
and no improvement would be seen, as many ethical hackers are busy in cyber war against pak and they do that under the name of "Hacker", which is a broad term. they should use term black hat for them selves instead, and remaining ethical guys as you said "dont care"
