Summary

This quote highlights the evolution of hacking motives from being driven by curiosity and thrill to being primarily profit-oriented. In the past, hackers were mostly motivated by the desire to explore systems, gain knowledge, and experience the excitement of breaking into them. However, the landscape has changed significantly, and now hacking has become a lucrative industry, with malicious actors exploiting vulnerabilities in systems for monetary gain.

Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built

Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody's image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection.
