What is the hacker's fault?
yu Alone Coder
I want to publish a cry from the heart about freedom of speech and source
rights in the modern world. We can discuss further on the topic of
how to use “intellectual property” (interesting
history of the introduction of "copyright" in Switzerland after
two-time referendum against and history
the USSR's accession to the Berne Convention, which noted
colorful character Sergei Sergeevich Ivanko), corporation
receive whole streams of money and get rid of private
competitors. You can add the project ahtukopnopatubhoro
legislation from http://dieoff.org/america.htm . But it's out
main topic of the article.

Here and there, hackers who hacked this or that server are imprisoned.Why are they being imprisoned? Allegedly for data theft. But what in reality
happened?
A man bought a computer and Internet access. From the computer
which he bought, on the Internet, which he paid for, he sends
some numbers. And for this he was imprisoned! Think about it! Private
property? Freedom of speech? In the corporate world this can be discussed
forget. 09, F9...
But the server is hacked. What's the matter? The fact is that the company that
spent a lot of money on the development of this server, slipped
hack. And she bears no responsibility! Why?
Because laws in the modern world are written in the interests of companies, and
not in the interests of the people. People simply don't have the means to lobby
laws.
Maybe the programmer is to blame? No, he wrote on assignment,
which was given to him by the project manager. Maybe it's my fault
project manager? No, he wrote according to the conditions that he
given by the company. Maybe the tester is to blame? No, he should have
meet the deadlines given to him by the company. Each of them
worked hardfor pennies. And the company received millions.
The company does not care at all that the server is full of holes. The work has been handed over and
paid. If the server is hacked, they will appoint a scapegoat
hacker. The same hacker who actually uncovered the criminal
fraud between the customer company and the performing company, in
as a result of which some virus or enraged
artificial intelligence can ruin the data of hundreds of thousands
real people!
How companies spit on the quality of development can be seen at
elementary examples: according to the WЗC test on the main page
http://microsoft.com/ 519 (!) errors in the code, on
http://google.com/ - 23, and on http://www.apple.com/ 173 errors in
CSS (at http://microsoft.com/ - 69). Right up to 2006 in Windows
there was a hole, thanks to which, when simply viewing
graphics could run arbitrary code
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile_vulnerability ).
Moreover, up to and including Windows 7, anyone could manage
on the computer without knowing a single password, let alone a password
administrator - it was enough to boot into "safe"
mode"!
Would you say that a company is also people? Nothing of the kind. People,
those working for the company work in the interests of the company. Even the director.
For those who want to do charity work at the company, it takes a long time
don't hold. There are many, many people queuing on the street who
ready to apply for the position of such an adventurer
But maybe the server was still protected, and somehow
did you find the key? This is where the subtlety comes in: special services
some states simply prohibit the release of systems with a key
greater than a certain length. Simply put, no more than what
these services will be able to select...
And the switchman is to blame.
