- Perché ha fatto emergere un fenomeno fino allora poco conosciuto in Italia: gli hacker.
- "Da allora sono successe tante cose, ma ancora c'è molta confusione in materia", commenta Stefano Chiccarelli, esperto di telematica e autore, con il giurista Andrea Monti, di Spaghetti hacker (ed. ... A partire dal significato della parola hacker: "La traduzione più vicina al concetto originario non è pirata o scassinatore, ma è smaneffone, cioè un appassionato di informatica che ama capire le macchine nel loro profondo", sostiene Chiccarelli.
- Non esistono hacker buoni e hacker cattivi, secondo lui, ma esistono gli hacker e quelli che non lo sono e si spacciano per tali (spregiativamente, in gergo, lamer). ...
- L'accanimento giudiziario nei confronti degli hacker è legato al vuoto legislativo che ancora non è stato colmato intorno ai nuovi mezzi di comunicazione digitali. ...
- Gli hacker "bucano" i sistemi informatici come stile di vita, da quando questi hanno incominciato a esistere. ...
- Infatti sono gli stessi hacker che trovano i cosiddetti "bachi", a scoprire poi anche i rimedi. Le aziende lo sanno, tanto è vero che i sistemi di sicurezza aziendali migliori sono affidati a ex-hacker che sono riusciti a mettersi in luce per la loro bravura e a farsi assumere, passando dall'altra parte della barricata.
- Oggi i due hacker leader di "Ice-trap", Matteo Del Mistro, 28 anni, di Venezia, alias "neXus", autore dell'incursione nella Banca d'Italia, e Raoul Chiesa, 25 anni, di Torino, alias "nobody", autore di quella nell'Infn e nell'Unilever, sono liberi e hanno fior di lavori.
- Insiste Raoul: "La mia motivazione non era il guadagno, ma la sfida: vincere sui computer, dimostrarmi più abile delle massime autorità sul campo", o meglio, citando La coscienza di un hacker, il manifesto di The Mentor, uno dei primi hacker americani, scritto in rete più di dieci anni fa: "Il mio crimine è la curiosità".
- Già: la più grande punizione per un hacker è togliergli gli strumenti di lavoro, senza quali rischiano di perdere la "manualità", quel tocco magico che apre tutte le porte, l'unica loro vera ricchezza.
- "La Falange Armata ce la siamo inventata per farci pubblicità, in realtà la nostra unica vera attività illecita è stata quella di utilizzare numeri di carte di credito telefoniche che ci hanno passato altri amici hacker in America, per non pagare le bollette salate della Telecom". ...
- Ormai, con la diffusione di Internet, gli hacker hanno fatto proseliti. ... In Germania il "Caos Computer Club", considerato tra i migliori gruppi di hacker al mondo, organizza corsi di aggiornamenti tecnici riconosciuti dal governo, in Olanda e in America ci sono molti party e convention facilmente accessibili. In Italia - dove già da quattro anni a questa parte c'è l'incontro-scontro "L'hacker e il magistrato", organizzato quest'anno il 4 settembre a Pescara da Metro Olografics e Arci - il 5, 6 e 7 giugno scorsi a Firenze si è tenuta presso un centro sociale (il CPA, Centro Popolare Autogestito)" Hack-It '98", un raduno cui hanno partecipato non solo hacker, ma anche tanti amatori e ragazzini curiosi. "Per la prima volta in Italia gli organizzatori hanno avuto il coraggio di dichiarare la natura hacker dell'evento", commenta Chiccarelli. ... Il quale recentemente ha ospitato illustri hacker d'oltreoceano, come il californiano Lee Felsenstein, considerato un pioniere, e oggi un intellettuale e uno scienziato molto apprezzato.
5. The Hacker FAQ
- www.plethora.net
- The Hacker FAQ.
- The following list is an attempt to cover some of the issues that will invariably come up when people without previous experience of the hacker community try to hire a hacker. ... net/~seebs/faqs/hacker. ...
- DISCLAIMER: The author is a hacker. ...
- 0: Won't my hacker break into my computer and steal my trade secrets? No. ... Your hacker may occasionally circumvent security measures, but this is not malicious; she just does it when the security is in her way, or because she's curious. ... 1: Was it a good idea to hire a hacker? It depends on the job. A hacker can be dramatically more effective than a non-hacker at a job, or dramatically less effective. ...
- More generally, a job that requires fast and unexpected changes, significant skill, and is not very repetitive will be one a hacker will excel at. Repetitive, simple jobs are a waste of a good hacker, and will make your hacker bored and frustrated. ...
- The good news is, if you get a hacker on something he particularly likes, you will frequently see performance on the order of five to ten times what a "normal" worker would produce. ...
- 2: How should I manage my hacker? The same way you herd cats. ... Don't worry! Your hacker is likely to be willing to suggest answers to problems, if asked. ... And yes, I am serious; a hacker on a roll may be able to produce, in a period of a few months, something that a small development group (say, 7-8 people) would have a hard time getting together over a year. ...
- In the meantime, check out The New Hacker's Dictionary (references below; also known as "the jargon file"), in particular some of the appendices. ...
- 0: My hacker doesn't fit in well with our corporate society. ... Your hacker may not have found any people around who get along with hackers. ... 1: My hacker seems to dress funny. Is there any way to impress upon him the importance of corporate appearance? Your hacker has a very good understanding of the importance of corporate appearance. ... Your hacker is dressed comfortably. ... 2: My hacker won't call me by my title, and doesn't seem to respect me at all. Your hacker doesn't respect your title. ... Treat your hacker as an equal, and she will probably treat you as an equal -- quite a compliment! 1. 3: My hacker constantly insults the work of my other workers. Take your hacker aside, and ask for details of what's wrong with the existing work. ... Don't let the fact that it runs most of the time fool you; your hacker is probably bothered by the fact that it crashes at all.

8. What is a Hacker?
- www.cs.berkeley.edu
- What is a Hacker?.
- I am not the Academie Française; I can't force Newsweek to use the word ``hacker'' according to my official definition. ...
- Still, understanding the etymological history of the word ``hacker'' may help in understanding the current social situation. ...
- A ``hacker'' is the opposite: someone who never goes to class, who in fact sleeps all day, and who spends the night pursuing recreational activities rather than studying. ...
- But there are standards for success as a hacker, just as grades form a standard for success as a tool. The true hacker can't just sit around all night; he must pursue some hobby with dedication and flair. ... In 1986, the word ``hacker'' is generally used among MIT students to refer not to computer hackers but to building hackers, people who explore roofs and tunnels where they're not supposed to be. ...
- A ``computer hacker,'' then, is someone who lives and breathes computers, who knows all about computers, who can get a computer to do anything. Equally important, though, is the hacker's attitude. ...
- A hacker is an aesthete. ...
- An algorithm hacker knows all about the best algorithm for any problem. A system hacker knows about designing and maintaining operating systems. And a ``password hacker'' knows how to find out someone else's password. ...
- Someone who sets out to crack the security of a system for financial gain is not a hacker at all. It's not that a hacker can't be a thief, but a hacker can't be a professional thief. A hacker must be fundamentally an amateur, even though hackers can get paid for their expertise. A password hacker whose primary interest is in learning how the system works doesn't therefore necessarily refrain from stealing information or services, but someone whose primary interest is in stealing isn't a hacker. ...

- www.jelb.org.br
- O Glider: Proposta para um Emblema Hacker .
- Oque nós não temos, historicamente, é um emblema que represente toda a comunidade hacker dos quais esses grupos fazem parte. ...
- Quando você coloca o emblema glider na sua web page, ou usa ele em alguma roupa, ou exibe ele de alguma outra maneira, você está visivelmente associando-se com a cultura hacker. Isso não é exatamente a mesma coisa que reivindicar que você é um hacker — isso é um título de honra que geralmente deve ser conferido pelos outros ao invés de ser auto-assumido. ...
- A maneira recomendada para usá-lo é em uma página, com uma imagem e um link para essa página ou diretamente para How To Become A Hacker. ...
- org/hacker-emblem/'> <img src='http://www. ... org/hacker-emblem/glider. png' alt='hacker emblem' /></a> .

- Not every hacker is a woman .
- The hacker.

- When the word 'hacker' was first coined at MIT in the '60s, it was an honorable title. ... But after some major incidents, such as the legendary Internet worm of 'rtm' in the '80s, and the subsequent sensationalistic press coverage, the notion of 'hacker' has been reversed. In a society in which data security and the stability of the infrastructure have become major concerns, the hacker is being hyped as the perfect concept of an enemy. ...
- Another expert, Gail Thackeray, Special Counsel, Technology Crimes, in the Arizona Attorney General's Office, whom I contacted through the 'defcon' hacker mailing list, painted the same picture of the absentee female hacker. ...
- I would like to quote Yvonne Volkart at this point, she said: "The female hacker and the cyberfeminists alike recode dominant ideologies of information technologies. ...
- I met Sopht in December 1999, at the Berlin hacker convention CCC Congress (Chaos Computer Club, a German hacker organization). She is a stubborn personality who is not in agreement with the hacker community on many issues, and has some undeniably destructive tendencies. ...
- Q: Clara, would you call yourself a hacker?.
- I guess there are some hackers who would call me a 'hacker', others would call me 'cracker' and others just 'lazy-assed destroyer'. ...
- She is a nerd, a hacker, maybe the only woman on earth who loves her machines more than humans. ...
11. Great Hacker != Great Hire
- software.ericsink.com
- Great Hacker != Great Hire.
- Graham describes the notion of a "great hacker", which he seems to roughly define as a programmer who is several times more productive than average. (Please note that some people use the word "hacker" to describe programmers who engage in illegal activity. ...
- However, the remainder of Graham's essay does a pretty good job of explaining why many small ISVs might not want to hire a "great hacker". ...
- I'm not saying I am a great hacker, but I do sympathize with this fussiness. ...
- The higher productivity of a great hacker is a big advantage, but probably not big enough to overcome our attempts to sell something that users don't want.
- If Graham is right, a great hacker is someone who believes that his own preferences are more important than doing what is best for the users. ...
- If Graham is right, a great hacker is someone who is not willing to do any of the un-fun things that need to be done. ...
- If Graham is right, a great hacker is someone who is not willing to help the people who use the software he creates. ...
12. THE HACKER's JARGON:
- www.fiu.edu
- Almost every hacker I talked to made some attempt to verify my identity, either by checking my credit rating or "fingering" me; and based on the "sting" operations they've faced, like Operation SunDevil, I don't find this surprising.
- cyberpunk; the Internet lists Future Culture, Fringeware, and Cypherpunks; the local Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes) known as Ground Zero, OnlineNOW!, Digital Underground, Digi-Net, First Church of Cyberspace, and StellarNet, among others; national hacker BBSes such as Temple of the Screaming Electron, Demon Roach Underground, and Hacker's Haven; the Internet Relay Chat channels #2600, #leri, #hackers, #crackers, and others; and the hacker conferences on the Whole Earth Electronic Link (WELL), MindVox, and The Internet Wiretap (Spies in the Wire. ) Also critical to my research were several on-line electronic hacker publications, including but not limited to Phrack, TAP, the Cult of the Dead Cow (CDC), Computer Underground Digest (CuD), Line Noize, Activist Times Incorporated (ATI), and 40HEX, among others.
- Other times, I acted like a hacker-wannabe, hoping the experienced ones would "mentor" me. ...
- The Hacker Ethic is that "information wants to be free. ...
- But I did play all the hacker tricks - posing as somebody else to elicit information from a person (social engineering) - for example. ...
- Firstly, it ignores the recent debates about who owns the term "hacker" - battles that have been no less pitched than any over who owns the name "America. ...
- Of course, Levy stops his hacker geneaology in the early 1980s, as if to suggest that the species has disappeared, although he does in an addendum discuss the efforts of Richard Stallman and his GNU (Gnu's not Unix) Free Software Foundation throughout the 80s. ... But, the media in the 80s started to use the term "hacker" for a different type of computer user - usually described as a "nerdy, sociopathic, hyperintelligent, hygiene-deprived computer intruder" - thus causing the semantic shift that causes many people to associate hacking with "computer crime. " According to Levy, calling the "computer miscreants" of the mid-80s and on "hackers" debases an august honorific, since he considers such individuals to be motivated by far less honorable intentions than the Hacker Ethic he describes in his book.
- But the fact is that they are correct in that some of the new hackers are indeed a peril to the old Hacker Ethic, because they do not share its essentially intellectual motivations.
- It's OK to hack your way onto systems containing public information (and from the hacker's point of view, such things as "corporate secrets" are public, not private, property) but wrong to read people's private mail. ...
- The Hacker's Jargon.
- Many people are aware of the so-called "Hacker Jargon file. ... Recently, authors Eric Raymond and Guy Steele have tried to bring it to print in their newly released Hacker's Dictionary. I would argue that, as with any other linguistic jargon, hacker jargon has evolved a great deal beyond this original formation. ... But it's worthwhile understanding some of the conventions of MIT Hackerspeak, for it's at the root of a great deal of modern hacker talk, and often appears in various forms on the Internet among people otherwise marginal to the "computer underground. ...
