|

|
|
administrators who have become annoyed, upset, or touchy owing to
|
|||
|
|
suspicions that their sites have been or are going to be victimized by
|
|||
|
|
crackers, or used for inappropriate, technically illegal, or even overtly
|
|||
|
|
criminal activities. For example, having unreadable files in your home
|
|||
|
|
directory called ‘worm’, ‘lockpick’, or
|
|||
|
|
‘goroot’ would probably be an effective (as well as
|
|||
|
|
impressively obvious and stupid) way to get your sysadmin hacked off at
|
|||
|
|
you.</p><p>It has been pointed out that there is precedent for this usage in
|
|||
|
|
U.S. Navy slang, in which officers under discipline are sometimes said to
|
|||
|
|
be “<span class="quote">in hack</span>” and one may speak of “<span class="quote">hacking off the
|
|||
|
|
C.O.</span>”.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="hack-value.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../H.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="hacked-up.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">hack value<75></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>hacked up</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
