Abstract (EN)

In the cyber world created by capitalism, which has reshaped in the information age, it is seen that the concepts of cyber, crime, cyber terrorism, cyber war and hacker, hacking, craking come to the fore. It is understood that the actors of the cyber space are organized around the identities of resistance. Some of these actors are cybercriminals who commit classical crimes through computers, some of them are cyber terrorists who feed on terrorism, and some of them are hackers and hacktivists, who are the inventors of information systems, and it is seen that they are fighting for themselves. Today, the actions of hackers are considered as crimes by many states and legal regulations and measures are taken. In this new area, the border of which cannot be predicted, the states created an atmosphere of panic and displayed oppressive attitudes to take it under control. Minority groups and defenders of democratic rights and freedoms, who think that they are oppressed by the authorities, argue that all legal and physical measures taken by the states are used as a tool to spy on, monitor and control citizens. In a sense, states conflict with their own people. Today, in terms of social perception, the word hacker has negative meanings and connotations. When we go one step beyond the popular, we see that hackers are not only criminals, pursuit of profit and money, or simply a movement or stance, but that they represent a culture and are described as a sub/counterculture.
