So you want to be a harmless hacker?"You mean you can hack without breaking the law?"That was the voice of a high school freshman. He had me on the phone because his father had just takenaway his computer. His offense? Cracking into my Internet account. The boy had hoped to impress me withhow "kewl" he was. But before I realized he had gotten in, a sysadmin at my ISP had spotted the kid'sharmless explorations and had alerted the parents. Now the boy wanted my help in getting back on line.I told the kid that I sympathized with his father. What if the sysadmin and I had been major grouches? Thiskid could have wound up in juvenile detention. Now I don't agree with putting harmless hackers in jail, andI would never have testified against him. But that's what some people do to folks who go snooping in otherpeople's computer accounts -- even when the culprit does no harm. This boy needs to learn how to keep outof trouble!Hacking is the most exhilarating game on the planet. But it stops being fun when you end up in a cell with aroommate named "Spike."
