21. Hackers And Painters What Hackers and painters have in common is that they re both makers. Along withcomposers, architects, and writers, what Hackers and painters are trying to http://www.paulgraham.com/hp.html

May 2003 (This essay is derived from a guest lecture at Harvard, which incorporated an earlier talk at Northeastern.) When I finished grad school in computer science I went to art school to study painting. A lot of people seemed surprised that someone interested in computers would also be interested in painting. They seemed to think that hacking and painting were very different kinds of work that hacking was cold, precise, and methodical, and that painting was the frenzied expression of some primal urge. Both of these images are wrong. Hacking and painting have a lot in common. In fact, of all the different types of people I've known, hackers and painters are among the most alike. What hackers and painters have in common is that they're both makers. Along with composers, architects, and writers, what hackers and painters are trying to do is make good things. They're not doing research per se, though if in the course of trying to make good things they discover some new technique, so much the better. I've never liked the term "computer science." The main reason I don't like it is that there's no such thing. Computer science is a grab bag of tenuously related areas thrown together by an accident of history, like Yugoslavia. At one end you have people who are really mathematicians, but call what they're doing computer science so they can get DARPA grants. In the middle you have people working on something like the natural history of computers studying the behavior of algorithms for routing data through networks, for example. And then at the other extreme you have the hackers, who are trying to write interesting software, and for whom computers are just a medium of expression, as concrete is for architects or paint for painters. It's as if mathematicians, physicists, and architects all had to be in the same department.

24. Old And New Hacker Ethics Is there a Hacker Ethic for 90s Hackers? http://www.fiu.edu/~mizrachs/hackethic.html

Is there a Hacker Ethic for 90s Hackers? by Steven Mizrach Introduction The goal of this text analysis project was to take the texts of the computer underground and to analyze them for the presence of a) knowledge about the Hacker Ethic and b) evolution of that Ethic. Many writers, such as Steven Levy, bemoan the fact that modern-day hackers (the computer underground) are not worthy of the name because they do not live up to the principles of the original Hacker Ethic, and as unethical individuals, should simply be called "computer terrorists" or "juvenile delinquents." I sought to examine whether 90s new hackers knew of the old Hacker Ethic, if they had added anything to it, and the reasons why they felt they acted differently from their predecessors. I broadened my text analysis to look at what they saw as ethical violations, and reasons why some might repudiate the Hacker Ethic or the idea of having an ethic. As my text project evolved, I found that after discovering the existence of a new hacker ethic for new hackers, I was wondering if people expressing the principles of the new ethic also expressed the old. I expected that the adoption of a new set of ethics would not necessarily mean the complete abandonment of the old. This would establish some continuity between both groups of hackers, and some familiarity by new hackers with the old ideals. If the hypothesis of continuity turns out to be true, then new hackers are not as different from old hackers as authors like Levy (or certain computer security professionals) might claim. They would then not only have their own ethics, but also utilize some ethical principles of their predecessors.

Shopping-cart glitch could give hackers a discount February 4, 2000 Web posted at: 12:19 p.m. EDT (1219 GMT) by Ann Harrison (IDG) An Internet security firm has issued an alert for what it said are tampering vulnerabilities in several Web-based shopping cart applications. Internet Security Systems Inc. (ISS) in Atlanta Tuesday released a statement that said the company had identified 11 shopping-cart applications that used flawed online forms that intruders could exploit to change prices or discounts at e-commerce sites. Many shopping-cart applications use hidden fields in HTML forms to define product parameters such as quantity, name and price. That hidden data gets submitted from the customer back to the site along with information filled in on a form when the form is submitted. However, "hidden" data is only obscured from the customer's view when looking at the form through a browser; anyone can find this data by choosing to view the form's HTML source code.

The Trifinite group showed how hackers could eavesdrop on passing motorists using a directional antenna and a Linux Laptop running a tool it has developed called Car Whisperer The software was demonstrated during a Bluetooth Security talk at last week's What the Hack hacker festival in The Netherlands. Trifinite has developed a specialism in unearthing Bluetooth security shortcomings, the latest of which illustrates implementation problems rather than more deep-seated security concerns with the protocol. Car Whisperer only works because many car manufacturers use standard Bluetooth passkeys such as "0000" or "1234" which are easy to guess. "This is often is the only authentication that is needed to connect," according to Trifinite.

(IDG) The Defense Department has started an overhaul of its global unclassified network to fight off the barrage of hacker attacks the department's systems suffer and to increase capacity to handle a huge rise in traffic to and from the Internet. The Defense Information Systems Agency plans to redesign its Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network, DOD's primary entry into commercial World Wide Web sites, to take advantage of enhanced security measures and to improve overall performance. The NIPRNET redesign, scheduled for completion in December with main network components slated for installation no later than June, will provide DOD with a network better designed to stave off hacker attacks that hit DOD systems at a rate of 250,000 a year, according to a DOD source briefed on the network plan.
