HACKER'S PARADISE

NOTE: Sir! I would never encourage someone to commit a crime! No way! But
|
||
|
|
I do enjoy to state facts to the public. If those facts are regarded
|
||
|
|
as dangerous, I humbly suggest that you try analyze why you think so,
|
||
|
|
instead of picking on me. Knowledge and truth are intrinsically
|
||
|
|
good even if they create annoying feelings. Order is high - but truth
|
||
|
|
is even higher. Remember that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. INTRODUCTION.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A gun can only be used in one proper way. However, the reasons why someone
|
||
|
|
decides to use a gun can be several. It can be used for target practice,
|
||
|
|
hunting, warfare et cetera. The latter can roughly be divided into wars for
|
||
|
|
freedom or wars for conquest.
|
||
|
|
Hacking can be done for several reasons. For fun, for profit or for some
|
||
|
|
other reason. One of these 'other reasons' may be the protection of one of
|
||
|
|
the most basic human rights: freedom. If hacking in this sense is regarded
|
||
|
|
as a weapon, it would be a weapon that is meant to be used in a war for
|
||
|
|
freedom.
|
||
|
|
What is of importance to notice, is that an individual who uses a gun
|
||
|
|
might not be aware of the potential of his weapon. He might not even be
|
||
|
|
aware of what the gun does. It fires a bullet, that is true. The bullet hits
|
||
|
|
something, oh yes. But if the shooter turned to another direction he could
|
||
|
|
perhaps hit something valuable. Then the result from his Sunday afternoon
|
||
|
|
target practice would then be something else.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER UNDERGROUND TODAY?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Good hackers are talented, that is fact. Unfortunately, their talent only
|
||
|
|
goes so far that they know how to break and enter. This is not enough for
|
||
|
|
certain reasons. If the soldier only knew how to pull the trigger, he would
|
||
|
|
not be a good soldier. He would simply be someone who only knew how to fire
|
||
|
|
a gun.
|
||
|
|
So, what is missing? The answer will not surprise you: knowledge. But not
|
||
|
|
knowledge on how to use the weapon. What is missing is the knowledge how to
|
||
|
|
properly use the weapon, and why the weapon must be used if he would like
|
||
|
|
to reach a certain goal. If a soldier without knowledge goes to war, he will
|
||
|
|
not be aware of the conflict around him. He will just shoot randomly, for
|
||
|
|
fun or equal. Sooner or later he might hit something. If he hits an enemy,
|
||
|
|
he will not know that he has done something 'good.' If he hits one of his
|
||
|
|
friends, he will not know that he has done something 'bad.' He will be a
|
||
|
|
blind man who just enjoys to shoot.
|
||
|
|
Hackers who just breaks and enters are blind people. They are unaware of
|
||
|
|
the conflict around them. They do not know that they are the keepers of a
|
||
|
|
very powerful weapon, that should be used properly. Sadly enough, the
|
||
|
|
computer underground have not given this problem enough attention. Instead,
|
||
|
|
it has over concentrated on techniques and know-how. To know how to do
|
||
|
|
something is good, but not enough.
|
||
|
|
I claim that the computer underground today is defective because it does
|
||
|
|
not understand that it is a part of a global conflict, far serious than the
|
||
|
|
pathetic ones that are visible on the surface. But what should be done to
|
||
|
|
repair this defect? I see two necessary actions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Make people aware of the conflict.
|
||
|
|
2) Make people understand that they are actually a part of the conflict,
|
||
|
|
and if they want to win it they must use their weapons properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both aims at the same thing: implanting knowledge. If this knowledge is
|
||
|
|
spread and understood, hacking will transform itself from being a simple
|
||
|
|
crime to a weapon that ought to be used in the most important battle of this
|
||
|
|
century.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. THE CONFLICT IN QUESTION.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One becomes very depressed when one reads zine after zine just to find
|
||
|
|
the ordinary 'we are not pro-hacking, but we are interested in the social,
|
||
|
|
political and anthropological aspects' crap. Those words used to describe
|
||
|
|
the so-called 'aspects' are by nature controversial. How can anyone debate
|
||
|
|
such a subject and remain neutral? No one. It is time for the underground
|
||
|
|
to stop acting like a scared child and get to the point, loud and clear,
|
||
|
|
without necessary message-codes.
|
||
|
|
We spoke about a conflict. It is now time to shortly begin to explain
|
||
|
|
the structure and participants of this conflict. To begin, let us draw a
|
||
|
|
rough distinction: that between the 'real society' and the 'electronic
|
||
|
|
society.' Is it possible to separate those two? The answer is, to me, a
|
||
|
|
clear Yes. The conflict is about the latter, and there are two groups who
|
||
|
|
fight with each other. On one side, we got the system and on the other side
|
||
|
|
we will find the individuals. The system (I have no better word) tries to
|
||
|
|
shape the electronic society so it will turn out to be a copy of the 'real'
|
||
|
|
society with rules, laws, control, all organized and uphold by power and
|
||
|
|
violence. The individuals wants this last resort of freedom to remain free.
|
||
|
|
Since I lack a good word for the battle area, let us refer to it as the
|
||
|
|
'network.' Right now, the battle is about the won by the system. With
|
||
|
|
night sticks and propaganda, the system has not only managed to scare the
|
||
|
|
underground to silence, it has also convinced the masses that the
|
||
|
|
individuals are nothing more than a bunch of criminals who needs to be put
|
||
|
|
away. If the individuals wants to remain free, not become what Orwell would
|
||
|
|
call Provos, there is no time to sit around in a corner and hope for a
|
||
|
|
better future created by someone else.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. HOW CAN HACKING BE REGARDED AS A WEAPON IN THIS CONFLICT?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The individuals have tried to win this war by propaganda and information
|
||
|
|
alone. This would have worked just fine, if not the information had been
|
||
|
|
directed only to those involved, i.e the individuals themselves. The public,
|
||
|
|
the mob, the masses, is a strong force that is being used as a 'weapon of
|
||
|
|
majority' by the system. The system will find no problem doing so, since
|
||
|
|
the individuals do not even try spreading information to the public. The
|
||
|
|
public will just hear the false arguments used by one side.
|
||
|
|
Information needs to be spread, that is a fact. But there is also another
|
||
|
|
powerful weapon that the talented ones of the underground might use. What
|
||
|
|
I refer to is probably obvious by now. As the terrorist bomb is mot merely a
|
||
|
|
fire-cracker that goes boom, so is hacking not only something that can be
|
||
|
|
done for fun. Saying that it CAN be used in the conflict needs further
|
||
|
|
explanation. HOW can it be used? WHY should it be used? What will it all
|
||
|
|
lead to?
|
||
|
|
Controlling something implies that the object controlled must be in the
|
||
|
|
hands of a chosen few. By force if necessary. If the system gets control
|
||
|
|
over the network, everything is ruined. The real society has then overtaken
|
||
|
|
the electronic society with everything that means: Violence, threat, state
|
||
|
|
controlled mobs that raids the net for 'dangerous' information and so on.
|
||
|
|
But if the system realizes that the object cannot be controlled, the
|
||
|
|
situation will change. If the network leaks information the system wants to
|
||
|
|
remain controlled the result will be a chaos in the system. It will try to
|
||
|
|
cover the holes, without success. Eventually, the system will break down and
|
||
|
|
leave the individuals as the winners. I am not that childish that I believe
|
||
|
|
that this will be the beginning of the utopia - more battles will follow.
|
||
|
|
But it is better to be prepared for more than hide under the table. There
|
||
|
|
is no need to spend years thinking about how the weapon should be used. As
|
||
|
|
long as it is used at all, the holes in the object will remain open. If
|
||
|
|
the weapon is put away, in favor for some ridiculous peace debate, the
|
||
|
|
system will quickly cover the holes and gain complete control.
|
||
|
|
However, it needs to be repeated: a weapon is worthless if the user is
|
||
|
|
completely ignorant on why he uses it. It could be used for fun, but that
|
||
|
|
is not enough. It will not take us anywhere. It should be used together will
|
||
|
|
a rational, clear and aware mind.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. HACKER'S PARADISE?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Freedom is not something that is given away for free. It is a shiny
|
||
|
|
trophy that follows after hard struggle. Just because the rich and complete
|
||
|
|
utopia is never to be around, the search and fight for it must never end.
|
||
|
|
We might never reach the paradise. We might just end up in the middle. But
|
||
|
|
it is better to be in the middle, constantly fighting, than giving up and
|
||
|
|
sinking into the endless depths of Big Brother control. The invertebrate
|
||
|
|
underground is going to lose this war if not a radical attitude change is
|
||
|
|
spread and accepted among the individuals. This is the hard and brutal
|
||
|
|
truth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

This file has been written for informational purposes. But that says
|
||
|
|
nothing. It has actually been written for the purpose of making people
|

think. If knowledge is a burden, and spreading facts is considered a
|
||
|
|
crime in your eyes then do not hesitate to sue: <GNN@KRILLE.UPDATE.UU.SE>
