Today I Learned June 15: From Phone Phreaks to Wiki Leaks: A History of Ethical Hacking

by Andrew

Hi All, I'm teaching a class on June 15. Feel free to cross post to Public School, Noisebridge, etc.. Sign up here if you are interested: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#June_15:_From_Phone_Phreaks_to_Wi… Before "White Hat" hackers and "Black Hat" hackers there were "Ethical Hackers". These groups and individuals may not have always stayed within the confines of the law, but followed a well defined ethic. This is the story of MIT pranks, the golden age of the BBS, The Great Hacker War, Steve Jackson Games vs. The US Secret Service, Old school hacking tech ( Blue Boxing, Red Boxing, War Dialing, etc ), New Hack City and the rise of the Cult of The Dead Cow, Free Kevin!, Hacktivismo, and more... The Hacker Manifesto by +++The Mentor+++ Written January 8, 1986 Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike. -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

radio update

by Marina Kukso

hi all, radio room is clean, spiffy, and ready to use. for real this time. i am ready to help any of you or small groups of you (however many will fit in the studio) learn how to share audio on the livestream. i've also written some documentation that should ideally help anyone get started livestreaming on their own and provide them with detailed instructions for troubleshooting the most common problems encountered: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Sudo_Radio next step is to keep doing trainings until all of you are happy with your competence levels and to start scheduling shows. we're currently using this sadly neglected spreadsheet to do show scheduling ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApmrUsz7z5DodDVaZnJ4TW1ndC1jd1…) but alternative scheduling ideas are welcome. - marina ps - you may have noticed that i have only spoken about livestreaming thus far and have not mentioned recording or producing. this is because for now, we've had more interest in livestreaming than in doing audio production, so i've been focusing on getting that ready for people to use, but the next step is production...and anyway, audacity (audio recording and production software) is installed on the studio computer, so you are welcome to futz with it to your heart's content. pps - the documentation needs a bunch of images and formatting cleanup. i am working on this.

Japanese versus American Hero archetypes

by Romy Ilano

http://roboheart.com/2012/02/12/japanese-vs-american-hero-archetypes/ No this isn’t about who would win in a fight between Superman and Goku. Specifically this is about a particular mainstream Japanese hero character I see over and over again in Shonen action based Anime / Manga and how it compares to mainstream American super heroes. Of course I don’t mean to say there aren’t characters on both sides that break the mold, only that the type I describe seems interestingly prevalent in modern mainstream media. *Growth Mindset* *For me, the biggest difference is that Japanese super powers are based around a growth mindset. The hero must train hard to unlock his hidden potential.* Even if he is the chosen one of some kind or come from another planet, it doesn’t come for free, it takes hard work. Most American super heroes were born with their powers or gained it all at once through some happenstance beyond their control. They will usually go through an awkward period of learning how their powers work, but it will be more about discovery than training. The most obvious direct explanation for this difference is the cultural importance of martial arts in Japan and other Asian countries, as well as a more strict work ethic. Most of the super powers imagined are centered around martial arts and notion of building Chi. Many Anime have their own names for this force. Chakara, Haki, Nen, Raetsu or Spirit Force, just to name a few. These forces are brought out through training and will power. Characters are at their most powerful when put in desperate situations and they are forced into a fit of rage, protecting the ones they love. I might suggest that American superpowers are looked at like property, or even like winning the lottery. Japanese powers are more like the inextricable essence of a person, perhaps not unlike a Samurai referring to his sword as an extension of his soul. *Magic VS Science* Japanese powers seem more often based in magic, the powerful life force inside us all. That or at least the laws of the universe are different from our own. For example, “Full Metal Alchemist” takes place in a world where alchemy really works. American powers are way more often science related, and rooted in our own universe, or at least a universe that is very similar to our own. Unfortunately those powers are often based on unrealistically huge breakthroughs and severe mishaps, since that’s the only way to go from the ordinary world to something so amazing. Also the scientific explanations are usually so flimsy they may as well be magic. The fact that these Manga superheroes likely exist in an alternate world yet American ones are grounded in this one, is interesting to me. I wonder if this means that Manga superpower stories are a deeper form of escapism. Even if American heroes take part in a world unknown to us, it usually is supposed to exist in parallel, somewhere under our noses, hidden from the notice of us ordinary people. *Dynamic Power Ups* The ability to power up when they need to defeat a stronger opponent isn’t in and of itself isn’t unique, but some Japanese characters take this to a whole new level. Some even quantify their power ups by calling them gears or levels. The prime example is Dragon Ball Z. The idea that you can turn these various states of power at will like shifting gears on a car isn’t something I can ever remember seeing in an American character, with the exception of when a character somehow borrows or steals another characters powers for a particular fight. *Intuition* This Japanese hero is not very bright, but somehow always does the right thing when it matters. They are ruled by powerful and accurate intuition. As in the way of the Samurai, all decisions are made in the space of seven breaths, or much less. Because of this their decisions sometimes seem rash to those around them, though over time people grow to have faith in them. American heroes will often struggle with the right thing to do. Also, the main hero in Manga always seems to have simple powers, simple attacks, compared to the other characters in that world anyway. He may sometimes use them in a clever way, it is much more likely for the villain to have complicated or tricky powers. I think it’s somehow related to honor, that simple powers befit an honest hero. *Care Free Attitude* This is related to their intuition I think. These Manga heroes tend not to spend a lot of time worrying, and may even seem careless. They have been know to randomly fall asleep at inopportune moments, and accidentally say the wrong thing at the wrong time. They have an innocence about them. After all they usually are teenagers. This quality may also be related with the way of the Samurai, treating matters of grate importance lightly and small matters with the utmost seriousness. *Strength From Friendship* Unlike a lot of American heroes, they are not usually tormented loners, forbidden from personal relationships. Often their friends and family have lesser powers themselves. They focus very heavily on being able to protect their loved ones, but often have faith in them to take care of themselves. American superheroes always seem to be carrying around a grate weight on their shoulders, like their power is burden. Anime / Manga characters usually seem to treasure their strength, their ability to protect people. For them, the ones they love ARE their strength, instead of their weakness. They often reach a new level of power up through the rage of a loved one being threatened or hurt. The American superhero is surrounded by ordinary humans. They are infinitely more capable than everyone around them, so they are infinitely more responsible and isolated. It also makes me wonder if the American mindset is that it’s only worth having power if it is far far greater power than anyone else. The Japanese hero is surrounded by other super powered people. They don’t start at the top. There are always more powerful people who drive them to advance and become the best. *Enormous Appetite* I really have no Idea about this one, but quite a few of these Manga heroes seem to be able to eat an absurd amount of food. I guess they need the energy to fuel all those power ups. The most extreme examples of this are Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and more recently Toriko, which is largely based around eating. *Purity *This isn’t necessarily a difference, but the Manga heroes seem to be very pure hearted and noble even if they seem brash on the outside. Plenty of American Supers are noble, but there seems to be slight distinction in my mind. American heroes are either totally super noble like Superman or Captain America, or they have some kind of character flaw that they must overcome to rise to the heroes call. Their Japanese counterparts flaws aren’t usually flaws at all. They don’t get in the way of them being a hero, they are part of their personality and may actually make them better at what they do. They don’t seem to be in conflict with themselves. Their apparent character flaws are a product of their innocence instead of their corruption or weakness. Again this may have a lot to do with their relatively young age.** I can’t really say what this all adds up to, or even why I felt compelled to TRY and quantify it, only that I think it is interesting to see the kinds of fictional characters that our very different cultures idolize. I enjoy superheroes on both sides of this analysis, but I find that they access different feelings. I think the Manga hero archetype is a more joyful and passionate, where as the American one is more about wish fulfillment, with a bit of “Careful what you wish for.” thrown in.** *Update:* Just responding to some comments on reddit<http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/pnps8/japanese_vs_american_hero_arch…>that there should be more specific American comics references. I admit it is a bit one sided in that regard, but I kind of figured if you’re reading this in English you probably know more than you care too already about popular American superheroes from the many Hollywood movies of late. Maybe that was a mistake. This wasn’t supposed to be an unbiased essay, just some observations I made that were interesting to me. I do have more interest in Anime in recent years, but I’m definitely not trying to convince anyone of anything. I don’t have an agenda, I don’t think. I’m not trying to bend facts to suite an argument, however I will fully concede to the possibility that I may be seeing patterns where there are none, or looking too deeply in too narrow a spot. Humans are particularly good at this in general. In the end I’m just surprised people actually wanted more information on this. I always assume people will find these posts long winded. Anyway, criticism taken. *Update 2:* Okay, I don’t think I have the patience to expand this into a full essay with citations equally on both sides. I did adjust a few minor phrases to be a BIT more specific and disclaimatory, if that is even a word. So I will just list below the particular hero characters I was referencing between the lines. Apply what you know, maybe that will clear this up a little. Not every point I TRY to make applies entirely to each character, but hopefully they hold generally true. Generalizations definitely aren’t the only thing important in an analysis, but at least initially, they can be the only way to see a pattern. Of course I know they can also be used for evil. With great generalization come great responsibility. Now, I don’t want to think about this ever again. * Japan* Goku – DBZ, obviously, really seems like the precursor to the next 5. Monkey D Luffy – One Piece Natsu – Fairy Tail Gon – HunterXHunter Naruto, Shippudden or otherwise Toriko Elric Brothers – Full Metal Alchemist, mainly just to exemplify an alternate world with different rules. Not as many similarities to the others. *USA* Superman Spiderman Ironman Captain America Thor Green Lantern Batman, probably the most growth mindset oriented of the group

They're configured in two different places, right? It seems like there are a bunch of different machines. I'll try to write up MY understanding. Bonded phone lines come out of the wall, into the Sonic.net router Sonic.net router is connected by ethernet to: Horchata, firewall, in the closet, IP 192.168.1.1, connected by ethernet to: D-Link Gigabit Switch, on shelf above closet, with many things plugged into its ethernet ports, including: Port 1: Horchata Port 4: Cisco AP Other ports: Tamale, radio room, random places The Cisco AP has IP 192.168.1.49 and appears to be running dd-wrt, but nobody knows the password. Which of these machines is "the router"? The thing that needs the Java app to access? Is it Horchata? Are the router and firewall the same machine? Sorry for being verbose, I just want to be very clear before changing anything. Thanks!

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions: 'ID/ENTITY'

by Jenny Ryan

via johannes of monochrom (author of Hacking the Spaces<http://www.monochrom.at/hacking-the-spaces/>, a must-read for those interested in hackerspace culture and inclusivity): ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: j. grenzfurthner/monochrom (das ende der nahrungskette) < jg(a)monochrom.at> Date: Sat, May 25, 2013 at 3:05 AM Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions: 'ID/ENTITY' To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions ID/ENTITY monochrom's festival on sex and tech and id/entities. October 3-6, 2013 in San Francisco. Call for talks, performances, workshops, games, machines. Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2013 ---------------- Sex, technology, identity... big-ass sweeping themes for Arse Elektronika 2013. Identity, but also identification. Technologies for the exploration of identities. Technologies for the articulation and performance of identities. Technologies for the enforcement of hegemonic identities. Technologies for the verification of identities. For example: What about the vast fencing-off of the old wild internet; the #nym-wars and the push for "real names"? We typically assume there is 'something' that takes and/or performs an identity. What is this entity? Are awareness and consciousness strictly limited to and made sense of in human experience alone? How is identity understood and made sense of in terms of artificial intelligence? What might transhuman, android, or cyborg identities consist of? What does sexual desire mean to a dolphin? We have technology-based identities. If we are to agree that agency is a key factor in identity AND position technology as extension/manipulation of agency, then is technology an identity in and of itself? The Bay Area, famous as a place to "find yourself," also hosts vast projects to organize and catalog the world's identities, whether they want that or not. So, how does the Californian Ideology drive identity politics and techno-sexuality? Will apps like Bang With Friends and gadgets like Google Glass provide us with the ultimate gonzo pornoverse? And why are services like LinkedIn explicitly banning escorts from using the site to get clients? What have been the social ramifications of Web 2.0, ten years on? By what means have queer users of dating sites and social networks reframed or otherwise hacked the systems surrounding them? What is the design history of the drop-down gender menu- and its alternatives? How did Facebook's inclusion of "in an open relationship" as a standard option for one's relationship status affect youth mores? What has been the effect of location-based hookup apps on the architecture of cruising? What are the economics of niche dating sites, and how are they policed? What are the ethical obligations surrounding the ability to algorithmically identify those who are in the closet? What technologies could ensure more flexible, fluid identities? What would TSA protocols look like if they were designed from a queer perspective? What does counter-surveillant fashion look like? How might we ensure the right not to be found? (Should we?) Are there technologies for anonymity that do not also afford stalking and harassment? Are there technologies for transparency that do not also afford stalking and harassment? If an identity requires recognition (either by the self or through the Other), then is it ever possible to be "truly" or "identifiably" queer? Is 'queer identity' an oxymoron? Former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit warns that legalizing gay marriage in the UK "opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination." Interesting times for sex tech? Indeed! What about a historic dimension? What were techno-sexual systems of identity like in the past? What were the technologies of masked rituals? What technologies drove the invention of privacy? How did the adoption of fingerprinting change the regulation of prostitution in the early 20th century? Besides hanky-flagging, what techniques/technologies were used to signal 'deviant' interests? How was handwriting judged in the evaluation of potential lovers? What is the techno-social history of the "secret admirer?" How will technological progress change the way we see ourselves? What are we without our iPhone and our beloved designer vibrator? Is the Marxian commodity fetish actually entering the sphere of (what a wordplay!) customization fetishism? If orgasm patterns are unique and impossible to duplicate, could one's sexual response be the ultimate biometric identifier? So, how worried should we be about the spectre of sphincter-printing? What about Big Data in a sexual context? Does size matter? What about a decent ontological debate with your buttplug's AI? Well... dear entities out there, with your proud Egos, Super-Egos and Hyper-Egos! Never forget that there is an Id lurking round the corner!
