Disruptors -- Is This The Girl That Hacked HBGary?
'With just half a dozen close friends online, she has a strict regimen to remain invisible on the web. Each night she wipes every one of her web accounts and deletes every email in her inbox. She has no physical hard drive and boots her computer from a microSD card. “I could hide this card anywhere or chew into a million pieces in a few seconds,” she says by e-mail. She keeps her operating system on a USB stick and uses a virtual machine (VM) to carry out her online shenanigans. So paranoid is Kayla of being caught or hacked by others, that despite several requests she would not speak to me on Skype to verify an adolescent-sounding voice. Our only evidence: others in Anonymous vouch for her age, her emails are punctuated with smiley faces and “lols” and she is relatively well-known on hacking forums. Still, rumors abound that Kayla is a mid-20s male from New Jersey named Corey Barnhill, who also goes by the pseudonym Xyrix.'

Global Guerrillas -- SUPER EMPOWERMENT: Hack a Predator Drone
'Skygrabber. $25.95 Easy to use software that enables you to hack the video feeds of US military drones (satellite dish, satellite card, and desktop computer required). Classification: DIY weapon. Iraqi and Afghan insurgents are currently using cheap software to hack the video feeds of Predator (and likely Reaper) drones. -- This event isn't an aberration. It is an inevitable development, one that will only occur more and more often. Why? Military cycles of development and deployment take decades due to the dominance of a lethargic, bureaucratic, and bloated military industrial complex. Agility isn't in the DNA of the system nor will it ever be...'

Playpitch -- Essay: Everyday Hacks: Why Cheating Matters
'...why does cheating matter? A big part of games culture is evidencing, to the friends ... that you had new games, could play knew games, and could hold your own in the knowledge economy of cheating. In the period since the advent of the internet, it has become very clear that games culture is significantly shaped by the cultural capital ‘knowing about games’ generates between individuals and groups. An incredible global infrastructure of websites, forums, blogs and other formats have proliferated in the chatter of newly connected gamer cultures. The cheat code anticipated this desire for conversation... Through cheats, players vied for an opportunity to penetrate through the surface of the gameworld, to claim leadership and advantage, and wrestle control of the game from the orthodoxies of standard play. Cheating is hacking for the masses. It is one of many opportunities to ‘soft programme’ our technologies and culture without heavy reliance on advanced knowledge.'

Wired -- DIY Freaks Flock to 'Hacker Spaces' Worldwide
'"It's almost a Fight Club for nerds," says Nick Bilton of his hacker space, NYC Resistor in Brooklyn, New York. "In our society there's a real dearth of community," Altman says. "The internet is a way for people to key in to that need, but it's so inadequate. [At hacker spaces], people get a little taste of that community and they just want more." -- "The way hacker spaces are organized seems to be a reaction against American individualism — the idea that we all need to be in our separate single-family homes with a garage," says White. "Choosing to organize collectives where you're sharing a space and sharing tools with people who are not your family and not your co-workers — that feels different to me." -- The community governs itself according to the guiding principle expressed on a large poster of Keanu Reeves hanging from the loft: "Be excellent to each other, dudes."' -- ;))

philosecurity -- Interview with an Adware Author
"Maybe 4 or 5 months into my tenure there, a virus came out that was disabling some of the machines that we had adware on. I said, “I know enough C that I could kick the virus off the machines,” and I did. They said “Wow, that was really cool. Why don’t you do that again?” Then I started kicking off other viruses, and they said, “That’s pretty cool that you kicked all the viruses off. Why don’t you kick the competitors off, too?”

Wired.com -- Twitter Fast Growing Beyond Its Messaging Roots
"Enterprising hackers are creating apps for sharing music and videos, to help you quit smoking and lose weight -- spontaneously extending the text-based service into one of the web's most fertile (and least likely) application platforms." -- Comment: Steve Woodward: "The beauty of Twitter is that it's like a cocktail party that enables users to communicate three ways: listening to the general chatter, having a conversation that others can eavesdrop on if they want, or shutting the door and having a private conversation."

Sherry Turkle -- Computational Reticence: Why Women Fear The Intimate Machine (PDF)
'The boy's experience of early separation and loss is traumatic. It leads to a strong desire to control his environment. Male separation from others is about differentiation but also autonomy, 'the wish to gain control over the sources and object of pleasure in order to shore up possibilities for happiness against the risk of disappointment and loss' (Gilligan 1982, 46) Women grow up differently... women look look to affection, relationships, responsibility and caring for a community of others... Carol Gilligan talks about 'the hierarchy and the web' as metaphors to describe the different ways in which men and women see their worlds. Men see a hierarchy of autonomous positions. Women see a web of interconnections between people. Men want to be alone at the top; they fear being too far out on the edge. Men can be with the computer and still be alone, separate and autonomous. When women perceive this technology as demanding separation, it is experienced as alien and dangerous.'

"On the face of things, we seem to be merely talking about text-based files, containing only the letters of the English Alphabet (and the occasional punctuation mark). On deeper inspection, of course, this isn't quite the case. What this site offers is a glimpse into the history of writers and artists bound by the 128 characters that the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) allowed them. The focus is on mid-1980's textfiles and the world as it was then, but even these files are sometime retooled 1960s and 1970s works, and offshoots of this culture exist to this day." -- Lore

YouTube -- I proposed by hacking Chrono Trigger
'On October 17th, 2008, I proposed to my (now) Fiancee. Originally I wanted to return to the site of our first date, Mount Baker, near Bellingham Washington. Sadly, there was no discreet way to get her out there. So I turned to the next best thing, digitally recreating the mountain! When her name appeared on screen (blurred in this video), she glanced over to me (on one knee, with the ring out), wondering, "How did they get my name in this game?" When she saw the ring, she reread the proposal, nodded yes, and said, "You are such a huge nerd! I love this!"'
