Scholars have spent a great deal of time examining public perceptions towards hackers (Halbert 1997; Holt 2009; Skibell 2002; Thomas 2005). The current study engages in a qualitative content analysis of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly. The magazine was created by Emmanuel Goldstein (pseudonym of Eric Corley, who adopted his name from the supposed enemy of the state in Orwell's 1984) and began publication in 1984. The 2600 is a hacker zine acknowledged to be one of the 'first significant hacker publications' (Thomas 2005, 604), and it features articles written by members of the hacking community for hackers. Before discussing the results of the analysis, a brief overview of the scholarly literature on hacking is provided as well as a discussion of the data gathering process and qualitative analysis approach. The results are presented focusing primarily on 10 themes that emerged in the analysis and are discussed in the context of technolibertarianism and crypto-anarchy. Adapted from the source document.
