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. 09.19.2013
