Abstract

From a renewed sight of power, that begins with Michel Foucault´s works, this presentation is a reflection about the ethical- political component of hacking. In that sense the concepts of power, liberty and the government techniques are set out like frame of reference, later, from there, making an analysis on the way like hackers carry out a search of the mistake with the purpose of use it creatively on the achievement on certain goals (no authorized entry to some information, constant improvement of the computer systems, activism, etc). Here, it is consider the flaw of the system like an event that used it on a new way questions the power strategies on virtual environments.
