Hello Green Hackerz readers....
The Tutorial is about the Language used by the Hackers which is called "Hackers Language".
Language, in short it's a mean to communicate with each other, people generally talk with each
other by using sentences, phrases, etc, etc, there are many different
languages which can be found spoken all over and around the world.
Basically, every different country has its own language, so its not
possible for others to communicate with them and also it's very hard for
a person to learn every those such languages. For this people had made
a common language, which can be used to communicate with each and
everyone, i.e., English.
Hackers have also found there own language, which they basically use to communicate with each other.
The Hacker's language used by the hackers to communicate with each other hackers is 'leet'. For example , leet spelling of the word leet include
1337 and l33t. It was originally created by a groups of chatters/gamers
in early 1980s, it was developed to frustrate text filters created by
BBS or Internet Chat System Operators.
Its a cryptic writing language used to shorten the messages or rather as
a form of encryption to hide the actual meaning. The main purpose of
this was to prevent others from discouraging them from the discussion of
some proscribed topics like hacking, cracking, many more.
Let's read in deep.........
Language helps re-enforce the barrier between computer hackers and
non-hackers, as well as that between hackers and crackers. Computer
hackers have developed their own language. Firstly there is vocabulary
that non-hackers will not know (TCP, IP, winsock, Linux, root access,
vi, etc) due to a lack of computer-related knowledge. Secondly, some
computer hackers have modified English with a set of conventions.
Hackers replace ‘f’ with ‘ph’ (likely coming from phreaks who were
interested in ‘ph’ones), and ‘s’ with ‘z’. Also hackers use numbers in
place of letters such as ‘1’ for ‘i’ or ‘l’ (though replacing ‘i’ is not
the proper usage), ‘3’ for ‘E,’ ‘4’ for ‘a’, and ‘7’ for ‘t.’ Also it
is important to use random caPitAlizaTioN, abbreviation, slang,
emphasize words by putting ‘k-‘ before them ("k-rad"), and finish a
statement with a series of characters for emphasis.
Take this example from an Internet Relay Chat message in a hacking group (#hack):
<elph> c4n sUm1 h31p m3 w1tH h4x0RiNg mY sk00lz c0mPz?!?!?!!?!?
Which translates to: "<elf> can someone help me with hacking my school’s computers?"
Lets take one more example.....
see the below image, the language used here is a leet.
The original is --
Google runs on a unique combination of advanced
hardware and software. The speed you experience can be attributed in
part to the efficiency of our search algorithm and partly to the
thousands of low cost PC's we've networked together to create a
superfast search engine. The heart of our software is PageRank (TM), a
system for ranking web pages developed by our founders Larry Page and
Sergey Brin at Stanford University. And while we have dozens of
engineers working to improve every aspect of Google on a daily basis,
PageRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools.
According to "Lamer Speak," elf’s statement comes from the warez and
crackerz subcultures. "Warez d00dz" are software pirates who are
interested in copying the latest program (warez) or game (gamez).
Crackers, in this sense, may refer to people who crack software
protection or people who crack computer networks. While one will rarely
seen this extreme form of the dialect in serious computer hacking
circles (thus distinguishing them from crackers and warez d00dz), some
of it is widely adopted (notably using ‘ph’ and ‘z’) and thus helps to
distinguish them from non-hackers and nostalgic hackers who would never
use this dialect. Perhaps newcomers to hacking use this language
because they think it will help them gain acceptance, substituting the
proper language for their lack of knowledge, by the gate-keeping elite.
Or perhaps it is just seen by young teens as a cool way of talking. In
real life, elf was banned (i.e. removed) from #hack very promptly after
writing that statement. This exclusion is incredibly common, as
newcomers are shot-down repeatedly for requesting help in Phrack, on
IRC, and on alt.2600 (a hacking Internet discussion group).
