Very nice description of hacker lifecycle =)

but imho, you forget a description of hackers who are no more public, fed
up by the system, still producing 0day, you know, the real one, the one wich
take years before being disclosed, these kind of people who are still
entering where they want, the one who stay discret, who doesn't want to work
for a big security company anymore... who are just idling on a lost channel
with friends... you should see what i'm thinking to...



This is just a description of my world and perhaps how I see the security
community through my eyes, thats why "by n3td3v" is added on the end. Each
folks with have their own definition of the hacker life cycle, but I think
my description is as close to the truth as it gets.

 you forgot the most important one:
n3td3v - godlike form that has all these levels surpassed by lightyears.



No one fits into just one category, for example, once you get to the
mature-bie stage, your personality has merged all the different stages of
your life into one.

Like the mature-bie may still goto yahoo chat for instance (as seen in the
new-bie category) to see what folks are upto. ;) just for different reasons.

Don't pigeon hole yourself when deciding where you fit in, in the industry.
but you do fit in somewhere in my description, I can guarantee you that.

so i guess that n3td3v just called himself a jobbie

for those not familiar with the vernacular

most truthful thing i have heard yet from the wee coke-heid frae fife



Why do people assume i'm from Fife? No, i'm not a job-bie, I'm a
student-bie, actually.
