__NOTOC__ ''The Conscience of a Hacker'' (also known as ''The Hacker Manifesto'') is a small essay written January 8, 1986 by a computer security hacker who went by the handle (or pseudonym) of The Mentor (born Loyd Blankenship), who belonged to the 2nd generation of Legion of Doom. It was written after the author's arrest, and first published in the underground hacker ezine ''Phrack'' and can be found on many websites, as well as on T-shirts and in films. Considered a cornerstone of hacker culture, The ''Manifesto'' acts as a guideline to hackers across the globe, especially those new to the field. It serves as an ethical foundation for hacking, and asserts that there is a point to hacking that supersedes selfish desires to exploit or harm other people, and that technology should be used to expand our horizons and try to keep the world free. When asked about his motivation for writing the article, Blankenship said, I was going through hacking withdrawal, and Craig/Knight Lightning needed something for an upcoming issue of Phrack. I was reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and was very taken with the idea of revolution.〔At a more prominent public event, when asked about his arrest and motivation for writing the article, Blankenship said, I was just in a computer I shouldn’t have been. And () a great deal of empathy for my friends around the nation that were also in the same situation. This was post-WarGames, the movie, so pretty much the only public perception of hackers at that time was ‘hey, we’re going to start a nuclear war, or play tic-tac-toe, one of the two,’ and so I decided I would try to write what I really felt was the essence of what we were doing and why we were doing it. == In popular culture == The article is quoted several times in the 1995 movie ''Hackers'', although in the movie it is being read from an issue of the hacker magazine ''2600'', not the historically accurate ''Phrack''. It is also reproduced inside the CD case of the computer game ''Uplink''. The Mentor gave a reading of ''The Hacker Manifesto'' and offered additional insight at H2K2.〔 It is also an item in the game Culpa Innata. "A Hacker Manifesto" is also the name of a book written by The New School media studies professor McKenzie Wark. A poster of the Hacker Manifesto is displayed in The Social Network in Mark Zuckerberg's dorm room. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hacker Manifesto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
