Chapter 1. Hacker Slang and Hacker Culture This document is a collection of slang terms used by various subcultures of computer hackers. Though some technical material is included for background and flavor, it is not a technical dictionary; what we describe here is the language hackers use among themselves for fun, social communication, and technical debate. The ‘hacker culture’ is actually a loosely networked collection of subcultures that is nevertheless conscious of some important shared experiences, shared roots, and shared values. It has its own myths, heroes, villains, folk epics, in-jokes, taboos, and dreams. As usual with slang, the special vocabulary of hackers helps hold places in the community and expresses shared values and experiences. Among hackers, though, slang has a subtler aspect, paralleled perhaps in the slang of jazz musicians and some kinds of fine artists but hard to detect in most technical or scientific cultures; parts of it are code for shared states of consciousness.

abgx360 The glider: an Appropriate Hacker Emblem The Linux folks have their penguin and the BSDers their daemon. Perl's got a camel, FSF fans have their gnu and OSI's got an open-source logo. What we haven't had, historically, is an emblem that represents the entire hacker community of which all these groups are parts. About half the hackers this idea was alpha-tested on instantaneously said "Wow! I first proposed this emblem in October 2003. When you put the glider emblem on your web page, or wear it on clothing, or display it in some other way, you are visibly associating yourself with the hacker culture. Yes, as of a mere four days after this proposal was floated, there are mugs and T-shirts. If you think is about breaking into other peoples' computers, those of us the emblem was invented for do not want you displaying it. I used to have a prohibition against commercial use here. The glider is not copyrighted or trademarked. Here's what it will look like: Feel free to enlarge or shrink the image.
Security Development Conference 2012 With the rapid evolution of cloud computing, mobile devices and other technologies, user data has become increasingly dependent on the security of software. The amount and types of data available for collection, analysis and dissemination have increased the importance of reducing the risk associated with protecting data. The second annual Security Development Conference will bring together some of the best and brightest information security professionals from a variety of industries. Attendees will learn about proven security development practices through interactions with peers, industry luminaries and other organizations. Sessions will cover the latest in security development techniques and processes that can reduce risk and help protect organizations in this rapidly evolving technology landscape. Hear what some of last year's attendees had to say about secure development and the importance to the industry: "The Security Development Conference is a chance for people to compare notes.
Bleeding At the Keyboard---character study It's hard to think of actors William Shatner and Patrick Stewart as anything other than captains of the starship Enterprise. On the Enterprise we know exactly what they're likely to say and do. Even when they're not in Star Trek movies we keep expecting them to talk about engaging their warp drive, setting their phasers on stun, firing their photon torpedoes, and worrying about the Klingons or the Borg. As actors, they are thoroughly typecast in those roles. Similarly, all Java entities are typed. Type double variables can hold a decimal number in the range from about minus 10308 to plus 10308. Besides being able to hold a certain set of decimal values, double variables also have a set of operators to apply to those values: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/). Type int variables can hold a whole number but only within the range from about minus two billion to about plus two billion. Type boolean variables can hold only one of two values: true or false.
