From 23ac9f57b9b4c761cb8edc5bfa0c0de77ec89326 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Silvio Rhatto Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2017 14:06:22 -0300 Subject: Change extension to .md --- books/spy/hacker-crackdown.mdwn | 49 ----------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 49 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 books/spy/hacker-crackdown.mdwn (limited to 'books/spy/hacker-crackdown.mdwn') diff --git a/books/spy/hacker-crackdown.mdwn b/books/spy/hacker-crackdown.mdwn deleted file mode 100644 index b49abcb..0000000 --- a/books/spy/hacker-crackdown.mdwn +++ /dev/null @@ -1,49 +0,0 @@ -[[!meta title="The Hacker Crackdown"]] - -Seleção de trechos [deste livro](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/101): - - 4154 When rumor about LoD's mastery of Georgia's switching network got - 4155 around to BellSouth through Bellcore and telco security scuttlebutt, - 4156 they at first refused to believe it. If you paid serious attention to - 4157 every rumor out and about these hacker kids, you would hear all kinds - 4158 of wacko saucer-nut nonsense: that the National Security Agency - 4159 monitored all American phone calls, that the CIA and DEA tracked - 4160 traffic on bulletin-boards with word-analysis programs, that the Condor - 4161 could start World War III from a payphone. - -Jocoso, mas premonitório! Mais: - - 11658 Kapor is a man with a vision. It's a very novel vision which he and - 11659 his allies are working out in considerable detail and with great - 11660 energy. Dark, cynical, morbid cyberpunk that I am, I cannot avoid - 11661 considering some of the darker implications of "decentralized, - 11662 nonhierarchical, locally empowered" networking. - 11663 - 11664 I remark that some pundits have suggested that electronic - 11665 networking--faxes, phones, small-scale photocopiers--played a strong - 11666 role in dissolving the power of centralized communism and causing the - 11667 collapse of the Warsaw Pact. - 11668 - 11669 Socialism is totally discredited, says Kapor, fresh back from the - 11670 Eastern Bloc. The idea that faxes did it, all by themselves, is rather - 11671 wishful thinking. - 11672 - 11673 Has it occurred to him that electronic networking might corrode - 11674 America's industrial and political infrastructure to the point where - 11675 the whole thing becomes untenable, unworkable--and the old order just - 11676 collapses headlong, like in Eastern Europe? - 11677 - 11678 "No," Kapor says flatly. "I think that's extraordinarily unlikely. In - 11679 part, because ten or fifteen years ago, I had similar hopes about - 11680 personal computers--which utterly failed to materialize." He grins - 11681 wryly, then his eyes narrow. "I'm VERY opposed to techno-utopias. - 11682 Every time I see one, I either run away, or try to kill it." - 11683 - 11684 It dawns on me then that Mitch Kapor is not trying to make the world - 11685 safe for democracy. He certainly is not trying to make it safe for - 11686 anarchists or utopians--least of all for computer intruders or - 11687 electronic rip-off artists. What he really hopes to do is make the - 11688 world safe for future Mitch Kapors. This world of decentralized, - 11689 small-scale nodes, with instant global access for the best and - 11690 brightest, would be a perfect milieu for the shoestring attic - 11691 capitalism that made Mitch Kapor what he is today. -- cgit v1.2.3
