  • A the Hacker
    A The Hacker Madame Curie once said “En science, nous devons nous int´eresser aux choses, non aux personnes [In science, we should be interested in things, not in people].” Things, however, have since changed, and today we have to be interested not just in the facts of computer security and crime, but in the people who perpetrate these acts. Hence this discussion of hackers. Over the centuries, the term “hacker” has referred to various activities. We are familiar with usages such as “a carpenter hacking wood with an ax” and “a butcher hacking meat with a cleaver,” but it seems that the modern, computer-related form of this term originated in the many pranks and practi- cal jokes perpetrated by students at MIT in the 1960s. As an example of the many meanings assigned to this term, see [Schneier 04] which, among much other information, explains why Galileo was a hacker but Aristotle wasn’t. A hack is a person lacking talent or ability, as in a “hack writer.” Hack as a verb is used in contexts such as “hack the media,” “hack your brain,” and “hack your reputation.” Recently, it has also come to mean either a kludge, or the opposite of a kludge, as in a clever or elegant solution to a difficult problem. A hack also means a simple but often inelegant solution or technique. The following tentative definitions are quoted from the jargon file ([jargon 04], edited by Eric S. Raymond): 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

  • Cyber Conflicts in International Relations: Framework and Case Studies
    Cyber Conflicts in International Relations: Framework and Case Studies Alexander Gamero-Garrido Engineering Systems Division Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] | [email protected] Executive Summary Overview Although cyber conflict is no longer considered particularly unusual, significant uncertainties remain about the nature, scale, scope and other critical features of it. This study addresses a subset of these issues by developing an internally consistent framework and applying it to a series of 17 case studies. We present each case in terms of (a) its socio-political context, (b) technical features, (c) the outcome and inferences drawn in the sources examined. The profile of each case includes the actors, their actions, tools they used and power relationships, and the outcomes with inferences or observations. Our findings include: • Cyberspace has brought in a number of new players – activists, shady government contractors – to international conflict, and traditional actors (notably states) have increasingly recognized the importance of the domain. • The involvement of the private sector on cybersecurity (“cyber defense”) has been critical: 16 out of the 17 cases studied involved the private sector either in attack or defense. • All of the major international cyber conflicts presented here have been related to an ongoing conflict (“attack” or “war”) in the physical domain. • Rich industrialized countries with a highly developed ICT infrastructure are at a higher risk concerning cyber attacks. • Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is by far the most common type of cyber attack. • Air-gapped (not connected to the public Internet) networks have not been exempt from attacks. • A perpetrator does not need highly specialized technical knowledge to intrude computer networks.

  • Introducción Al Movimiento Social Hacker (Traducción Del Inglés: Autor Desconocido, Posiblemente Norteamericano)
    A partir de la obra de Stewart, Charles, Smith, Craig, and Denton, Robert E. (1984) Persuasion and Social Movements. Waveland Press: Prospect Heights, Illinois, el autor trata de efectuar un análisis del movimiento social relacionado con las NNTT de la Información y la Comunicación: los denominados hackers, colectivo sobre el que todavía se tiene una imprecisa definición. En este texto se trata de iniciar un estudio del movimiento hacker a la luz del planteamiento teórico de los autores antes citados, como un novísimo movimiento social surgido a finales del siglo XX. J.R.O, mayo 2001 Introducción al movimiento social Hacker (Traducción del inglés: Autor desconocido, posiblemente norteamericano) Desde la introducción del ordenador personal a finales de los 70, la vocación por el hacking ha crecido no sólo en amplitud y miembros, sino que también ha cambiado la dinámica de la institución, como resultado del cambio del papel de la tecnología en la sociedad. Por tanto, la imagen publica del "típico" hacker se ha transformado de novato inocuo a tecno-criminal maligno. Alentado por el sensacionalismo de los medios y los celos colectivos, sus actividades han sido criminalizadas y ahora los hackers están siendo perseguidos por la ley a una escala desproporcionada a la amenaza actual que plantean. Los hackers quieren que sus motivaciones y éticas sean vistas como legitimas, o al menos entendidas, en vez de ser simplemente descritos como tortuosos adolescentes que no tienen nada mejor que hacer que joder cada uno de los ordenadores disponibles. A pesar de eso, no se han hecho muchas investigaciones sociológicas acerca de los hackers y su cultura.
