All a hacker would have to do is simply get one of the hacks off of this site and then test it out on different systems until they find one that isn't protected. The are hundreds and hundreds of web sites devoted to hacking. A person could go to any popular search engine, type in hacking and come up with a list of invaluable hacking web sites. There is also a site devoted to tracking and showing off many hacker exploits. In these chat rooms hackers can simply ask someone how to do something and get almost instant feedback, instead of having to search the web or reading through newsgroups.
Hackers tend to work alone but sometimes they team up to form a group.
Usually the groups say that they are fighting a worthy cause and sometimes they do it just to spite another group. A few groups stand out as elite, as they have done some of the biggest hacks around. Many of these hacking groups rally around the fight to free Kevin Mitnick. Kevin Mitnick was a solo hacker who was able to hack into what was believed to some of the most secure sites out there. He was eventually caught and put in jail where he is now in pretrial detention without bail, a bail hearing, and without having been convicted for over four years.
