What Inspired You?

We're all here to become better hackers/programmers/tech geeks and grow in a community. It's really neat seeing how far technology has come and how advanced some of you are. But we had to start somewhere!

Who or what inspired you into technology? What pitfalls have you experienced?

When I was 8 years old, 24 came out. Chloe O'Brian was my hero. Even though at the time I was interested in being a biologist (then later an artist, then back to a biologist in early high school) the whole concept of hacking really stuck with me. And I learned it as hobby, and soon saw it was a lot more complicated than on TV, but that just drove me more. The complexity makes it worth learning, and my inspiration turned from the media to life. But you never forget your roots! Pitfalls though.... Parents were always concerned with how much time I was spending on the computer. I was a very well rounded kid, but I feel I would have had a lot more success if I'd had more opportunity to practice. Now it's time to catch up for the career field!

When I was 8 years old, my father introduced me to electricity. He taught me a lot about it. That was the time where I got general interest in technology. Additionally, I was (and still am) addicted to video games. I played them whenever I could. But I had to play on my sisters Laptop, because I didn't own a computer. She was annoyed by that and put a password on it. I asked Google about ways to bypass it and even found one.

I was so statisfied by this super 1337 hack that I got more interest in hacking and computers in general.

Well, and now I'm here. Still a stupid skid that tries to learn more and more about it.

Ever since i was a kid, i just wanted to be a computer wizard... and fucking hack pokemon.

My grandfather, he have learned me so much. When I was 6, he showed me how to use the pc. At age of 13, I started doing hacking challenges with an adult who helps me.

I want to learn things that aren't common knowledge for other people. I know some things about computers, but I don't know a lot about how they work and what you can do to exploit it.  This is where hacking comes in. Knowing what to do to get into a network, using the vulnerabilities that are supposed to be secure. Knowing how you can enter a computer without having the right login and password. Retrieving deleted files,....

It is very difficult to know everything. I thought it was impossible, but some guys on Evilzone already inspired me this may be possible, when I read their posts on different subjects. Some of you guys are really deep into the computer knowledge thing. That's a really nice thing.

I once read a quote that comes to this. You will never know as much as the person who taught you all you know. Because that person will also become smarter, if he wants to evidently.
