Hacker behavior is becoming the most popular recreation of American youth
In February 789, 2000, the world's top commercial website - Yahoo, Amazon, Electronic Harbor, CNN, etc. Servers make it unable to provide normal services. These high-performance commercial websites that have strong technical support are unable to block the hacker's long drive. The direct or indirect economic losses caused by this attack increased by billions of dollars. The results of the survey have shocked the whole world, and the super "hacker attack incident" of the sensational world is actually an amazing, thin "neighbor-neighbor", nickname "Mass Party Boy (Mafiaboy) 14 years old. Boy's neighbors and friends are almost unable to believe that this usually silent, like a basketball and a small boy playing with a computer actually causes millions of or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the computer. And he only created this through an ordinary computer through the bedroom. The incident of "Mass Party Boy" makes people start to pay attention to teenage hackers.
The report of the internationally renowned network security research institution pointed out that "hackers are popular" around the world, more and more hackers have become more and more, and the lower age of criminals has become a highlighted characteristics of computer crime. Hackers have become a kind of available New ways of entertainment and leisure of super spalls. On the one hand, it can be used to show off their skills. They can get huge pleasure from destruction. From these two points, this is not essentially different from other casual ways. "There are some adolescent behavior experts in the United States believe that the technical magic, creative, input and dedication of hackers and the dissatisfaction, rebellion, and alienation of society are all popular among hackers in adolescents.
In March 2002, a member of the "Hacker Diary: Teenage Hacker" is published in the United States, and a reporter Dan Viount Danverton explores the increasingly popular casual way in American youth - - Computer hackers and tampering web pages are increasingly popular. He wrote in the book: "Computer hackers are gradually become a kind of leisure and entertainment in American youth. Although this phenomenon has just begun, but may soon, this entertainment method will become another to youth as the school violence. Social issues with far-reaching growth. "In the book, he pointed out: Different from many people's views, young hackers are not all hacker punk families who don't care about the mutant. Through the investigation and research, many of the mental and psychological and ordinary children of many juvenile hackers have not different. Maybe they are the neighbor boy who never caught you. They choose to have more hackers related to social and family factors.
For many young people, "freedom, rebellion, and knight spirit" in hacker culture have great appeal. This is called "Robson Psychological Syndrome" by some American psychology experts. A famous hacker in the United States becomes a lot of idresses in many American teen worships. His five short body, long hair, and even the beard, unfolded dress, look like the hidden people in the modern city. He is an idealistic Richard Stormman. In many hackers, Stormman is considered to be the greatest hackers ever, and the Sainte of Software Liberalism. His goal is to break the digital divide binding people, establish "Utopia in the virtual society." So he was regarded as a nail in the eye by International famous software companies such as Microsoft, Sun. In 1984, he raised the flag of "Free Software" and founded the Free Software Foundation (FSF), starting a development plan named a free operating system. Just like the GNU planned logo on the logo, Stormman has always been sincere and slightly tauntful. If Richard Stallman's dreams come true, people can freely share, modify, and release all software. When he just started to take action, many critics believe that he and Tang Ji Dodes fighting with the windmill, and now his pay has finally returned - a free software movement in the world. Stallman said his goal is to bring computer technology to people who are isolated by digital gaps. Richard Stallman believes that freedom provides software users, people have the freedom of use, distribute, learn, and modify software. Write in the "Free Software Declaration": "If you love money more than freedom, it is more accustomed to being slavery, and fearful to fight for freedom, then, please walk quietly. Open. We will not beg your suggestions or help. You go to the body to please people who feed you. I hope that the lock chain is not caused to cause too much pain, I hope that the future will not remember you once. It is our country. "In Steven Livi's famous" hack: the hero of the computer era ", the evaluation of Richard Stormman is:" The last real hacker ". Even his opponents also said: "If there is no Richard Stormman, human beings should also create him." Unique Russian professional hacker culture
Russian hackers have a considerable "reputation" in the international, and their technology is high, "word of mouth", which has almost become a consensus of many professionals who have deal with hackers. Therefore, Russian hackers have also become "robbing their hands" in many national intelligence agencies. International Network Security Company Senior Analyst Ken Duhim said in an interview: "These Russian hackers have come to an incredible point. They are quite excellent programmers, people who really understand the network. They know How to enter and exit in the network, and don't leave any spider silk. "They have successfully invaded the Pentagon's computer system, cracking Microsoft's source code, invading the NATO website, stealing millions of US dollars from banks in Western countries. . Russian Flagimir Club has accumulated $ 3.7 million in multiple accounts from Citibank in 1995. And his crime tool is just a personal computer and a telephone line for dialing Internet. British technical security consulting firm's safety expert Frank Wendez on Russia's hacker: "Russia's hacker can use quite limited equipment to do a surprising thing. They are quite smart, always hide their traces very well Moreover, Russia's hackers have great programming skills. They are not as hackers in the United States or elsewhere, just downloading a program from the Internet, but I don't know what I am doing. These Russians know clearly. What should you do.
• The superb skills of Russian hackers are unique to Russia's unique hacker culture. In the world, hackers have formed a unique underground culture. Compared with other countries in the world, Russia's computer education is quite well, and Russia's hackers have more professional colors. In Russia, hackers have received more affirmation. Russia has thousands of computer geniuses employed in the United States and many European countries, while Russia's technical colleges, especially the San Petersburg's Science and Technology developed the world's first-stream software.
Unlike other countries, the Motivation of Russia's hacker attack computer network is due to "shame in the sac". Reyvsky's experience is very typical in Russia. Reyvsky found a way to make money with the hacker technology to master: His work in Moscow's Aladdin Knowledge Systems, main responsibilities are the company's customer's safety performance. He said in an interview: "All hackers have an impulse that I want to prove how to be high, but Russian hackers are more professional. This is their work, because they can't find the right job. A computer security of the United States Experts say: "The threats faced by computer networks may come from any place, but the threat from Russia is mainly related to the financial motivation. The 'wage' of a computer hacker in Russia often has more than ten times more than ten times higher than the university professor. "Alekse Reilivesky is a hacker in Russia. He realized a" truth "when he was very small: he can make a big money! He is only a teenage when he started attacking some companies. The computer network is handed over, and the company secrets to the other party's negotiations, and actively put forward the security ability to help each other to further consolidate the computer network. The other claiming to decrypt the Moscow people Igo Kwalf Pride say: "We all think Russia is a hacker's paradise. Here I can find a lot of companions. We have to do it. And hackers are a good career in Russia, of course, is also a few good careers. "Take Kwalf as an example, often hire him to" play two "with the employer's opponent website. Every time he can get a remuneration of 3000 rubles (about $ 104). It sounds this remuneration is not high. But in Russia, a university professor has only $ 150 for a month. Russia has a type of hacker, dedicated to making pirated software for a living. According to statistics, 80% of the software used in Russia are pirated software. One nickname The hacker named Rengden revealed that he copied a new software from Microsoft and other companies, and earned $ 200 a day. The average monthly income of Russians is 55 US dollars based on the number recently announced by the Russian government. Some people say Russia is the world. A country with hacker culture. For international computer network security experts, St. Petersburg hackers who are known as a hacking world is the most headache. St. Petersburg is seen by Western countries as "the most threatened network crime gang". 2000 In October, Microsoft was black, and there was a big wave in the industry. After the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, I finally found the "Yuan March", which is a hacker in St. Petersburg, Russia in the hacking world. In 1999, St. Petersburg hacker One degree of NATO and the US government's multiple websites will protest against military operations of the United States and NATO's NATO; followed by the US Department of Defense, the US Department of Defense has organized a planned attack; 2000 year, St. Petersburg a hacker master The US online retailer has steals $ 300,000; in April 2000, five St. Petersburg hackers break through the password of the US online store, and steal a large number of credit card. Therefore, Petersburg hacker has also been crowned with "online black hand party" title.
The prevalence of the computer and the Internet has enabled hacker culture to pay attention to and play an important political influence. In 1983, a movie "War Game" in the War Game is a super computer system named David Leterman's mistakes in the United States Pentagon, which has almost triggered the Third World War. Nowadays, it seems that the gap between movies and reality is not very far away. A famous network security expert recently said in an interview with the US public TV station: "The United States is a living target. If you want you to use this or such methods to attack any target, for those who have mastered this Terrorists of the technique, eventually realize that this method is much higher than the use of bombs.
