Hackers Wanted (2008)

Hackers Wanted (2008)

This film explores the origin of true hackers vs. today's computer criminals

by following the adventures of Adrian Lamo and other well-intentioned hackers,

who found security holes and pointed them out so they might be fixed, only to

eventually be arrested. Commonly thought of as computer criminals and vandals,

a true hacker is an innovative thinker able to "hack" himself out of a given

problem or situation, whether it be computer related or not. Historically,

hackers have accounted for mankind's greatest inventions and discoveries and

yet have repeatedly been persecuted for their new ideas by the powerful and

fearful. Experts on cyber-terrorism also examine our societal view of the hacker

and debate as to whether or not we should recruit and utilize the skills of the

helpful hackers to fight future cyber-wars, instead of continuing to punish what

we do not understand.
