You applied a forced positive bias to a term that is not positive per se.. Hacking can be kids playing with computers in certain way and also stealing from the bank.. Lines in that community are gray..... Pun intended... |

Kinds of hackers, kinds of hacking :-// |

Yeah that is more of a retro hardware hacking event then. When people hear about hacking events they think about things like DefCon that is more about computer security or things like capture the flag events where people compete to hack into vulnerable machines on the network.One should definitely be careful with connecting to a random wifi at those events. |
