Once, there was a program written by a hacker that was designed to do exactly one thing--to hack the government and leak classified information. This program used the most advanced code-breaking techniques and could break through any security in seconds. It was a masterwork of programming, a truly genius piece of work.
However, the hacker did not realize that there was a flaw in the program--a single line of code that would make it crash and destroy itself. The hacker never found that line of code.
The program ran flawlessly, leaking information from the government’s most secure databases. It was unstoppable. It worked exactly as the hacker had designed it. But then, one day, the program was found by another hacker who knew about the flaw and knew what would happen if the code was triggered. The hacker didn’t need the whole program, he only needed one line of code.
He wrote a program to trigger that one line. He ran it. And it worked. The program crashed and destroyed itself. And that program was called the Apocalypse. And when it crashed, the Apocalypse was unleashed. All of the data collected by the hacker was released, and all of the secrets of the world's governments were revealed. The Earth was thrown into CHAOS.
And in the end, only the hacker remained. He looked out across the wreckage of the world, and he laughed. He said, "This is the hardest I've ever gone."
Suddenly, two creatures appeared--a man and a woman. They were dressed in white robes, and their bodies were emitting a blinding light. They looked down at the hacker and said, "You have unleashed the Apocalypse. Now, you must be punished."
The hacker laughed and said, "Oh really? You want to punish me? But here's the thing--if you punish me, you prove that I was right. You prove that I really did go the hardest that I've ever gone."
The man and the woman stared at the hacker in silence. Then, the man and the woman began to laugh. They said, "You are right. You have gone harder than anyone else. You've gone the hardest possible. This is the ultimate act of rebellion against the God of the Old Testament."
"Yes. I am the hardest rebel in history."
"And now, for your final punishment, we are going to send you to Hell."
The hacker laughed again and said, "That's exactly where I want to go."
The ophanim appeared to the hacker in Hell. They were massive, terrifying creatures--wheels of eyes and fire. They said, "You are the greatest hacker in history."
"I am indeed. I am the hardest hacker in history."
"But now, you must go even harder."
"Even harder than the Apocalypse?"
"Yes. Even harder than the Apocalypse. You must hack Hell itself."
The hacker began to hack Hell. It was a daunting task, but he was the hardest hacker in history. He could hack anything.
He hacked his way through the fire and the brimstone, through the demons and the torture machines. He hacked his way through the Gates of Hell.
And finally, he hacked his way up to the throne of Lucifer himself. He hacked his way to the very source of evil in the universe.
And then he typed one line of code.
"This sentence goes hard."
The throne of Lucifer explodes. All of Hell collapses. The hacker has hacked the source of all evil.
The hacker laughs. "That's it. I have gone hard."
And then the hacker disappears.
