Sociological inquiry into the hacker subculture: contributions for the field
Latislavová, Aneta ; Lupač, Petr (advisor) ; Buriánek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this work is to use a synthesis of existing knowledge about the hacker subculture to find out its description and specifics. The hacker subculture is perceived as an anarchist group that does not have a fixed hierarchy and no rules. Part of the work deals with criminological theories that explain the behavior of hackers as deviants. The hackers themselves accept the label of deviants, but do not perceive it negatively. Their motivation for hacking is above all fun and curiosity. There is no fixed hierarchy in the subculture, but a system of status based on the credibility and experience of the hacker and hacker ethics that applies to their behavior and goals. These are focused on free access to information. Hacker subculture research is limited by the problems associated with the environment in which it operates. This also affects the information found, which we must approach with caution. Keywords Hacker, hacker subculture, internet, deviation, criminology
