"The Conscience of A Hacker", also known as "The Hacker Manifesto", is a short essay written by The Mentor on January 8, 1986 at the age of 21. It was written after he was arrested due to being caught playing with a computer, or 'hacking it' so to speak. This essay has been passed on to this date, inspiring a lot on the hacking community especially those who are often miscategorized as a 'someone who does bad things'.
