[Evan Savage]

Hey everyone –

We'd love to start meeting everyone who is a part of our community here, and we think the best way to do this is through a thread like this! Feel free to say a couple quick things about yourself so others can start to know more about you.

I'll start:

I'm Evan Savage. I do IT for several organizations in my hometown and love to work with Macs. I've helped create this website to aid people in understanding Macs a bit better, and I look forward to answering your questions and talking to all of you!

Your turn!

[MacMischief]

hey, i am MacMischief – i won't share my real name though! I'm just a casual mac hacker. i don't work in IT but I like learning about different ways to access computers and i look forward to learning more in these forums!

[james452]

Hi everyone, my name is James. I'm new to Mac security, but I'm eager to learn more. Macs are far superior to Windows computers in my opinion, and I want to know as much about them as I can, because I think they'll be more common than Windows someday.

[ticktock]

I'm ticktock, and I've just started learning more about macs. I want to keep learning, just like James!

[LgpMcFly]

Hello, My name is Luis McFly, i'm here because i want to keep learning about Mac's Security and how to use this information for obtain benefits =D

[Jeff Browning]

Hey guys!

I'm Jeff Browning, also a Mac IT guy, and I enjoy tinkering with the operating system; whether it's getting it to run on non-Apple hardware or decrypting passwords, I'm all over it.

I love talking tech stuff, so I'm particularly looking forward to the growth of this new community, because I know that I'll enjoy it just has much as everyone else.

[Josh Fletcher]

Hey,

My name is Josh Fletcher, and i love hardware. I've taken apart my fare-share of macs and swapped out hard drives, disk drives, and video cards, but recently I've seen the benefit in knowing just as much in software as in hardware, hence the reason i'm on the site. I'm hungry for new information and can't wait for this site to keep expanding!

[Alex Galvin]

Hi, I'm Alex Galvin.

I'm a relatively new member to the mac security scene, so I'm not as "pro" as Evan or Jeff, but I love everything about Macs and OS X and I am always working to expand my knowledge. And as I learn new skills, and new tricks for macs, I will endeavor to pass my new found knowledge onto you. I love to hear other peoples opinions, and I am only human, so if you ever see a mistake in one of my posts, please point it out.

I look forward to working with all of you to improve our mac skills!

[Med101]

Hello, I'm Med101 not too hard to guess...

Purchased my first mac four years ago, and now own a macbook pro. Really I had no knowledge about what to do with a mac besides the applications, purchasing more apps, downloading music, simple things. Then I ran into this little thing called firesheep and things got a little more "interesting" So I started wondering how to crack the wep codes in the wifi networks because truly I am not about to pay 60 dollars for internet. So I searched and came across this site and it caught my attention how friendly it was. So I am here to learn to learn what I can about macs.

Thank You =D

[Lokichaotico]

Hey guys, my name is Mike. I ran into this site a few days ago and have been on it every day since. I absolutely love the attitude of the community and the down to earth explanations of everything. You guys are all amazing, thanks for the wonderful tutorials and forum posts. I am very new to the mac security scene and bash/AppleScripting but am very excited to learn all you guys are willing to teach. I have been using apple products since I was a boy and my family got our first Apple M0420 Mac Classic Desktop. I was the president of the computer club in high school and started college as a Comp. Sci. major my junior year. Although I have since changed my major, my passion for learning whatever I can about computers keeps getting stronger. I am part of a Mac family and am glad I found hackmac. I look forward to the next set of bash and AppleScript tutorials. BTW, thanks for the Admin hack and SSH tutorial. My dad bet me I couldn't get past the security on his MacBook Pro and thanks to these articles I had him freaking out for half an hour today about his computer talking to him, it was epic.

[olibi]

Hi. Im olibi. Im not a hacker, but if there is one thing I love in this locked down system we love its finding ways to unlocking it.
Im an IT hobbyist only but its a fun hobby. Anything that is about opening up new possibilities has me interested.

For me; Its only fun until you've proven its possible/that i can do it.

[The Mac Hacker]

Hi, I'm Chris, I am really interested in terminal, and how it works. I just got my new Mac book pro like 2 weeks ago, and I want to see what I can do with it ^.^

If you think mac's are going to dominate the market, put an ~ at the end of your post

[Andrew]

Hey, my name is medit, I started off a school program aimed at using macs, I thought they weren't as good at first, but now i have come to realise, they are actually good and probs more user friendly in a manner that you can get much more out of them. I am not good at all at this stuff though =.= as you can see im obviously getting introduced to this mac world

[Joshua159258]

[master]

Hey! As you can tell my name is master. I am a computer programmer. I have experience in JAVA, HTML, C++, and PHP. I bought my first Mac a year ago and it's a 21.5" iMac loaded with a 3.07 Ghz i3 processor and 4 GB's of RAM. I really don't know that much about Mac security and security in general. I know a couple of things but I'm looking to learn new things about my Mac, about it's security, and security in general. Well, that was a little about me and I hope to have a great time here at HackMac.

Hello, my name is Christian White and I am currently a nobody. I go to school, I am 14 and can't wait to get out, I love hacking and programming.
