An anarchist of sorts. These people believe information should be totally undisclosed and free. Authorities do not like this idea. These peoples favorite insults include "lamer" and "noob}" They will program their own apps or hack other apps to learn how they work. They have strong curiousities imaginations and a VERY srong will to learn. Each one has their own handle or nickname (i.e. Slice or Shank) They have a fear of having their front doors broken so they only trust the info they gather with the people they would trust with their lives.
Will you teach me to be elite Mr. Hacker?
