ROME - "It is common belief that hackers are saboteurs, if not real criminals. Speaking of ethical hacker can then play even ironic." In an article entitled "Ethical hackers and Christian vision" which appears on the new issue of "Catholic Civilization", the authoritative fortnightly magazine of the Society of Jesus, we try to shed light on the history of hackers, their true identity and their 'philosophy'.
So Father Antonio Spadaro, literary critic and specialist in new information technologies on behalf of the editorial staff of the Jesuit magazine, whose drafts are reviewed by the Secretary of State of the Holy See, clearly distinguished from crackers, hackers, illegal operators. Investigating the patterns of life and intellectual pursuits hacker, based on creativity and sharing, Father Spadaro discusses compatibility with a Christian vision of life.
"Without unduly compare the hacker community and Christian community - Spadaro says his father - the Christians and hackers today, in a world devoted to the logic of profit, they still have much to be, as is clear from the experience of hackers that make their faith a boost to their creative work.
" The term hacker, remember Jesus Spadaro, has now entered the common vocabulary thanks to the fact that newspapers and television stations, as well as films and novels, have spread widely reported in a wide range of phenomena as a violation of secrets, codes and passwords of secure electronic systems and so on.
In the case of Wikileaks has even spoken of "hacker attack in the world", identifying in Paul Julian Assange, its founder, the 'hacker arsonist on the web ". In general, therefore, it is stated in the "Catholic Civilization" was imposed "the commonplace that the term hacker is associated with people very experienced in being able to get into secure sites and sabotage, or even to real cyber criminals.
" Speaking of ethical hackers "can then play even ironic." Why, then, is dealing with the seriosissima journal of the Society of Jesus? Although by now the media have imposed on this hacker, in reality the so-called "hackers" have another name: cracker. The term "hacker" instead of itself identify a figure far more complex and constructive, father argues Spadaro.
"Hackers build things, crackers break them (hackers build things, crackers break them)," says one of the quotations in the "Catholic Civilization." Hacker then is he says the magazine of the Jesuits, who undertook "to deal with intellectual challenges to creatively circumvent or overcome the limitations that are imposed in their areas of interest." Mostly the term hacker refers to computer experts, but by itself, says Father Spadaro "can be extended to people living in a creative way many other aspects of their lives." "That hacker is, in short, a kind of 'philosophy' of life, an existential attitude, playful, and committed to pushing creativity and sharing, as opposed to the control models, competition and private property.
So we can guess as speaking in their own way hacker - adds the Jesuit - are not facing problems of criminal nature, but to a vision of human work, knowledge and life. It raises questions and challenges than ever today. " It is not difficult, therefore, supports the article "Catholic Civilization", to recognize the intuition of a "blessed life" in the genetic code of the attacker vision of life, the insight that human beings are called to "another life, a full and complete realization of his own humanity.
" Father Spadaro writes: "Obviously, the hacker is not the man of leisure and idleness. On the contrary, is very active, pursue their passions and live a creative effort and knowledge that never ends. However he knows that his humanity is not realized in a time rigidly organized, but flexible in the rhythm of a creativity that has become the measure of a truly human work, the one that best reflects the nature of man.
Tom Pittman repeatedly expressed sull'illogicità atheism and has professed Christian, but also other experiences show that between faith and ethical hacker, you can create harmony. "" For example - he adds - the Perl programming language, created in 1987 hacker Larry Wall, evangelical Christian, is indeed an acronym for Practical Extraction and Report Language, but was originally called the Pearl, and owes its name to the 'pearl of great value' found a merchant who sells anything to buy, as told by the Gospel of Matthew.
"Father Spadaro concludes:" Such an ethical hacker can even buy prophetic resonances for today's world devoted to profit, to remember that the human heart longs for a world where love endures , where gifts are shared. "
