Lingo

[OS] Operating System. The OS handles CPU and memory usage of the system, manages applications, and provides the interface. Common OSs are: Windows, UNIX, MacOS, DOS, Linux.

[Hacker] One who infiltrates and explores various computer systems for the sole purpose of expanding their knowledge.

[Cracker] A hacker who acts maliciously. Deletes, crashes, implements viruses, etc.

[Warez d00d] A lowlife techno weenie who sells pirated software (people who couldn't quite make it as a hacker).

[Elite, 31337, leet, 1337] A hacker who's learned just about everything there is to know regarding computers, networks, and security (not really possible to do). Many claim to be 1337, very very few are...

[Newbie] An amateur hacker (different from a lamer).

[Lamer] A complete hacker wannabe. The difference between a newbie and a lamer is this: a lamer knows a little bit, decides that's enough, and calls himself a hacker. A newbie also knows a little bit, but is humble enough to know that there is a lot more to be learned.

[Root] Status on any system that gives the hacker total control of it.

[Shell] A shell is an interface between you as a user and a particular computer. Windows Explorer is a shell, DOS prompts are a shell.

[Rootshell] A rootshell is a with root (superuser) privileges to resources on that machine. You can obtain a rootshell by either logging into the box as root (assuming you have the password) or by using an exploit program to create a rootshell for you.

[Packet] When data is sent over a network, it is broken down into manageable chunks called packets.

[Protocol] A set of rules and guidelines that computers on a network must follow in order for communications to be coordinated, and therefore successful. A protocol defines specifically how data is broken into packets, sent over a wire, and reassembled at the other computer (and how sessions are set up over a network).

[Client] Usually refers to either A: a computer on a network that requests resources from a server, or a computer that is not a server; or B: a program that makes request of a server or service. Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer are client software programs in that they request web pages from servers.

[Server] Either A: a computer set up to share resources such as printers, files, or serve web sites, or B: a program used to fulfill requests, such as IIS (Microsoft's Internet Information Server).

[Proxy Server] A system that is usually used by a network of computers to access other outside networks such as the internet.

[Firewall] Either software or hardware that filters out certain packets that pass through, or that blocks certain specified ports on a system to securify it.

[Daemon] A daemon is a program that is active but does nothing until a certain condition becomes true. Daemons often 'listen' on certain TCP ports of a machine on the Net, and when a connection is made, they will do what they were intended to do.
