@enot the term “ethical hacking” is lame af because it tries to imply that hacking by default is unethical and I don’t got time for that jibber jabber. :hecker:

@ryen@hackers.town @enot@hackers.town I never actually thought about this but it means that 'ethical hacking' as a position contradicts the 'hacking is not a crime' shit in infosec (i.e. they say that anyone who breaks the law is a 'criminal' not a 'hacker'), for most of those people ethics and the law are one and the same

I'm having a hard time taking this course seriously, but I'll see it through. I suppose, to be fair, this bit is aimed at those with no experience or prior knowledge.
