The odds of me being a pro hacker.

[toonlink444]

I am just wondering how likely it will be that I will become a pro hacker. It seems that it takes a long time to get really good. So I just want to know how likely it is for a hacker in training to be a pro.

Define pro.  Using ASM, or having the knowledge of dcx2?  There are so many different types of pro.

[toonlink444]

Both.

[Nutmeg]

dcx2, probably 1/300, Unless you get a job in programming.

ASM, probably 3/4, most coders here can use ASM.

you should take a look at Phantom Wings's codes.... for me he is the best hacker ever

[toonlink444]

I think your right although 1/300 seams kinda far feched. maybe 1/100. And yes I've seen PW's codes.

You can reach any goal you want as long as you put the effort into it.

[dcx2]

If you don't stop learning, then it is not a matter of can you become a pro...but when do you become a pro.  If you keep doing something for weeks...months...years...you will get better.

Oh.  You have to fail a lot, too.  Failure is the key to success.   ;D

Think about how many hackers are here that are as good as dcx2/Phantom Wings.  Maybe 2-3 others and I would guess their career is in programming.  I'm going to stick with 1/300.

I don´t want to remember how often I crashed the game because of my failure (at least 100 times...) ;D
but I learned a lot from it ::)
In earlier times, a computer was broken, when it crashed once.
That would intense the risk at doing RAM poke/write or programming experimences, but luckily you can start over and over again nowadays :-[

[xcoopa]

knowledge is power...never stop trying something new

[dns2]

Failure is not possible. Only once you stop trying do you fail. In other words, i'm gonna walk to the moon.
