How Being A "Hacker" Gave Me Super Power In Everyday Life

The first thing I learned about Cybersecurity is to think differently, to think out of the box. Thinking like everyone else will mean getting the same results others are getting. In Bug Bounties using this concept will always reward you with fantastic findings, and decent rewards. Thinking and doing whatever others are doing will just give as a result, duplicates. Every problem is unique and it should be treated as such.

Why I Use My Skills In Real Life

Life is hard at it is. If you add bad friendships, family, love problems. It gets worst. I consider myself new to the hacking world, but even like that, the first thing I noticed was that this skill not only helps me to make money but also gives me many advantages over others. The way I use my knowledge in my personal life may sound unethical to some of my readers, but when it comes to safeguarding your persona, you should always come first and not the rest. Even more when you are only doing recon. I have a long ugly past with people around me — Always getting betrayed in every sense of the word. which is why I started to use the following approach when it comes to people around me.

F°r°i°e°n°d°s

I consider myself a lonely person. Often, just hating to be around people, feeling bored. Most time, I do not even know what to say or talk about when around people. Do you want me to with you and myself? I don’t like to be lonely. No one does, and whoever tells you the opposite is a liar. That individual is just trying to protect himself. I try to be a genuine person in everything I do, especially with friends. But nowadays, that is a very exploitable weakness.

When I think someone is not honest with me, the first thing I do is “hack” my way in to monitor conversations rewarding myself and this specific person. Using this technique, I learned how my last “friend” was using me to be around females and be somehow feel “Popular” around others. After learning about his real intentions, I blocked him from viewing not only my socials but also my life. He is dead to me. When a person wants to be part of someone’s life just for gains or commodities, the first and best thing to do is get as far as possible from someone like that. These are the same people that can’t be a call for a real problem.

Family

Back in the days was hard to see or even talk to family members. Social Media fixed that problem. Sometimes for the better and others for the worst. Why the worst? Well, they are using these platforms to spy on family members. Their intent is not to know about a family member’s life because they want to see you doing well, but to criticize whatever they do or post. More often, making awkward and very embarrassing comments, co-workers, close friends, and other family members can read.

This particular problem had an easy fix for me. I made two identical Facebook profiles, with everything being the same. Also, a bot that now and then posts on my behalf. Whenever I get a message from a custom list of people, they will get an auto-response. This method I use will let them be in my life without really being in my life.

Love

The best part of knowing one or two things about cybersecurity is that I can always use my skill whenever I date a person. Often time, people think getting to know the person in our life means frequenting that individual for several years but is not like that. I had learned more about a person in only four weeks of hardcore Recon than what I had from knowing that person for almost a decade.

Keeping it short — I connect to their phone whenever I need to. Always getting the results I was looking for in the first place. It always amazed me to hear people talking whenever they think no one else is listening to them, especially if that “no one” listening is the subject of the conversation. By doing such a thing is always easy for me to learn more about people’s different personalities, vocabulary, and real thoughts. At times I find this something scary and crazy but also very fascinating.

Conclusion

These tactics may sound and are unethical for some. But when you only do it to search for the truth, to prove to yourself that you were right and don’t abuse your powers, I personally think it is worth it. Any kind of relationship should be handled and play like a chess game. I always like to try to know what will be the next person moved.
