    One person found this helpful. This has always been a great magazine for those who want to hack. It's got everything - drama, tension, excitement, love, humor, education, pretty pictures, Sudoku puzzles. What more could you possibly want. Oh, and listen to their radio show on WBAI or by podcast. You won't be disappointed! I didn't get much out of this for myself, and I won't subscribe. Of course, I'm not a hacker, and so it's a little too technical and dry for me I'm more of a Popular Science guy, and I suppose I was expecting a little more of that style. Nevertheless, it had great tech info for hackers, and would probably be riveting for someone with technical chops.

    That isn't me, but I can see the quality of the offering.

As a sample point, I was pretty close to cancelling my subscription, since during the past issues didn't have that interesting content.

    Some were set by their operators to have special permissions.

    They were invisible to ordinary users. Once you were inside a channel, you could see who else was there with you. Different people had different privileges. An sign next to a name meant that the person was the administrator of the channel and owned it an operator had fewer privileges.

    Often the administrator had the help of a bot or botnet. If someone wanted to log in to my channel and chat with other users while I was in school, my bots would let them in. But if he tried to flood the chat, my bots would kick him out. Each cave was protected by codes, controlled its users with codes, and could be taken over by codes. You could seize channels in three different ways.

    One was to join the channel, collect the names of the administrators, and get their IP addresses by typing the following command. Once you had their IP addresses, you could then scan their networks for vulnerabilities. Alternatively, you could pose as another user and join a channel through an access program, like psyBNC , also known as bounce. Or you could use a potent Distributed Denial of Service DDoS botnet to launch a simultaneous attack against all the IP addresses in the room, wait for them to drop from IRC, and attack the IRC server itself—ultimately taking control over it and all its channels.

    The most spectacular code wars took place on conference phone calls when hackers would try to shut each other down in real time and embarrass the loser in front of his peers. Every few months, a random carder would buy a conference call line with a stolen credit card and post the phone number. A few dozen anonymous spectators would dial in to listen while cheering on in IRC. By the time I joined, there were about 60 hackers on the call. There was the usual boasting about who was the best. Soon enough we had the two duelists: The older one agreed.

    Everyone on the phone fell dead silent, except for the two opponents. The passive hacker mostly kept quiet, responding to the kid with short phrases. The passive hacker began to taunt the younger one. How did you know that? The aggressive hacker was not only embarrassed, but frightened.

    Whom had he picked a fight with? Hackers then demand money in exchange for digital keys to unlock the data. One big target in will be cloud computing businesses, which house mountains of data for companies. Some also run consumer services such as e-mail and photo libraries. But smaller companies are likely to be more vulnerable, and even a modest breach could lead to a big payday for the hackers involved. This year will see the emergence of an AI-driven arms race.

    Security firms and researchers have been using machine-learning models, neural networks, and other AI technologies for a while to better anticipate attacks, and to spot ones already under way. An example is spear phishing, which uses carefully targeted digital messages to trick people into installing malware or sharing sensitive data. Machine-learning models can now match humans at the art of crafting convincing fake messages, and they can churn out far more of them without tiring. Hackers will take advantage of this to drive more phishing attacks.

    During the year, researchers—and hackers—are likely to uncover more chinks in the defenses of older planes , trains, ships, and other modes of transport that could leave them vulnerable. Hackers, including some allegedly from North Korea , have been targeting holders of Bitcoin and other digital currencies. You can change your preferences at any time.

    Mining cryptocurrencies requires vast amounts of computing capacity to solve complex mathematical problems. Recent cases have ranged from the hacking of public Wi-Fi in a Starbucks in Argentina to a significant attack on computers at a Russian oil pipeline company. If they target hospital chains, airports, and other sensitive locations, the potential for collateral damage is deeply worrying. With midterm elections looming in the U. As these and other risks grow in , so will the penalties for companies that fail to address them effectively.

    The recent revelation that Uber covered up a big cyberattack last year has sparked calls for breach disclosure rules to be toughened in America too. All this means that lawyers as well as hackers will have a very busy
