Welcome to the alt.2600/#hack FAQ: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about
Hacking

The purpose of the alt.2600/#hack FAQ is to give you a general introduction to
the art and science of hacking. No document will make you a hacker.

alt.2600/#hack FAQ, please direct it to the alt.2600 newsgroup. Please do
not e-mail me your questions; I do not have time to respond to each
request personally.


The alt.2600/#hack FAQ started as a FAQ for the IRC channel #hack and was
later adopted by the alt.2600 newsgroup. The alt.2600/#hack FAQ now exists
as a web document for all of the Internet.
