Julian Assange - owner of Wikileaks website.

Some consider him a brave fighter for freedom of information. Some argue that he is just a hacker, a criminal who deserves to be spit. He is also regarded as a hopeless province that embraces hope of global fame. Who is he actually?

Assange was born in 1971 in Townsville on the northern coast of Australia. Julian's childhood was extraordinary. Right from a young age, he was forced to get used to the life now and then: the first stepfather was the owner of a traveling troupe; and the second stepfather is a member of a sect. Julian 's mother struggled to escape this man.

Because Julian often has to move, Julian does not have a good education. By the age of 14, he had to move to 37 times. He also often had to transfer schools. His mother took responsibility for teaching her son, but it was not much. It was this deficiency that gave Julian the habit of self-study. He spent a lot of time at libraries, enjoyed books about science and soon he had the opportunity to apply self-learning knowledge to reality.

Julian 's first " feat " was to crack the program of the Commodore 64 computer. He was passionate about discovering the messages that programmers created in the code. ' I was fascinated by simplicity in the relationship with computers. This is like playing chess: the rules are very simple to play, but to solve chess moves is always complicated '- New Yorker quoted Assange.

At 16, Assange decided to try to be a true hacker. The boy was quickly introduced to his glasses because of his ability to unlock most of the protection systems. Together with some of Assange's friends, a group of hackers whose principles are very gallant: ' No harm to the computer system you break into. Do not change the information stored in that system. Do not share information with all '.

The Julian boy then fell in love with a 16-year-old girl. They moved in together. A few years later the two married and had children. The young couple experienced some complicated moments related to Julian 's illegal activity. Once the police confiscated all of his computer equipment, after accusing him of embezzling Citibank money. This crime was later vindicated. " Since then, I have understood that more caution is needed. " - Assange said.

Assange 's family scene lasted not long. In 1991, he successfully broke into the telecommunications network of Nortel Company and retired.

Assange failed to persuade Nortel management to not notify the police, so it could be arrested at any time and in danger of being punished for 10 years. At that difficult time, Assange 's wife decided to break up with the hacker husband. Three years later, Assange's trial took place and ruled that his actions did not damage Nortel. The trial ended with Assange having to pay a fine, but he could not call his wife to bring him back.

WikiLeaks.org website was set up by Assange when he retired from the hacker industry. The purpose of this website is to post confidential documents in the spirit that Assange claims to be ' struggling with the worldwide censorship apparatus '. Assange gathered a group of co-workers, working day and night for the project to be born. Assange wholeheartedly into the new game, Assange works to forget to sleep. He sat in front of the computer, without leaving the room for months.

It should be noted that the first documents that Wikileaks published are not popularly popular. Among them is information about Alpha Sigma Tau - a secret student association established at an American university, the ' charter ' of the triad, the charter of a polygamy. But in 2007, Wikileaks began to appear the first documents causing shock, which is typically information about financial incidents of Mr. Daniel Rap Moi - former President of Kenya. And until 2010, ' true glory ' came to Assange after Wikileaks published documents that exposed the truth of the American war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Pursuing a career exposing political, diplomatic secrets ., aside from the traditional lifestyle, putting yourself and your colleagues in danger, Assange continues to follow the " ideals" 'set off from the time of his young hackers. It is difficult to determine how serious he is in pursuing glory, or glory, to find him. But it is clear that Assange 's work has attracted the attention of the whole world.
