Well that is my question, what "does" a "real hacker" do? I thought the exploits from Exploit-DB were advanced but it turns out that I have gotten some feed back on some other websites forums that they are for script kiddies. I just want to know if that is true?

They’re just saying… you know… it’s just not as cool. The real haxor is the one who “gets it done”. True is what comes of it, not what people think is most cool. Someone more hard core will always neg the lazy noob. Doing is what does, everyone else is trying, to some 1337ists it’s just not good enough for the hacker name.

You want to be sure? Learn what the exploits do technically. Know why they do and don’t work. All that competence and prestige come in due time.

Thank you. That is very kind and good advice. I appreciate it!:)
