Who?
|
||
|
|
Hello, and welcome to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
I'm Walt Herbert, and I'd like to talk just briefly the day about dockedroppers.
|
||
|
|
That's www.docdropeprs.org.
|
||
|
|
The site was set up as a wiki of the digital dog pound to not only function as a repository,
|
||
|
|
but also to showcase hacking-related information.
|
||
|
|
Of course, the site is primarily for the community, but as a public web page, it's also serving
|
||
|
|
as an ambassadorial page to those who may be researching hacking in its culture.
|
||
|
|
The articles range anywhere from programming tutorials to caffeine.
|
||
|
|
The content is inclusive of anything and everything related to hacking really.
|
||
|
|
Amongst articles on freaking Linux how-tos and custom antennas, you'll also find some
|
||
|
|
more obscure articles.
|
||
|
|
For example, bios of some not so famous, but just as noteworthy hackers, social engineering
|
||
|
|
techniques, and even military jamming procedures.
|
||
|
|
It's all there, and more is always welcome.
|
||
|
|
If you're just stopping by to check out the page, I would recommend using the random page
|
||
|
|
link on the navigation menu.
|
||
|
|
Hopefully you'll stumble upon something that you may not have even realized is of interest
|
||
|
|
to you.
|
||
|
|
Microsoft is contributed to and maintained by members of the community.
|
||
|
|
Over the years, there have been so many contributors that would be impossible to thank everyone
|
||
|
|
in the time allotted.
|
||
|
|
This however, by no means diminishes the gratitude or appreciation of everyone's efforts.
|
||
|
|
Anyone who wishes to contribute an article, regardless of which particular community you
|
||
|
|
may belong to, if any, may do so by simply registering at www.doctroppers.org and following
|
||
|
|
the directions on how to submit in the health section.
|
||
|
|
Word to the Y-zo, please do register as MediaWiki, while otherwise display your IP address.
|
||
|
|
Doctroppers is a not-for-profit page, so you may choose your work to be licensed under
|
||
|
|
the appropriate canal or a Creative Commons license.
|
||
|
|
This is done simply by tagging the end of the article.
|
||
|
|
You need not worry if the essay that you wrote for class or the manual you wrote for your
|
||
|
|
co-workers is appropriate for the site or not.
|
||
|
|
It's an edited site, so in the event that something is not quite appropriate, it will
|
||
|
|
simply be removed.
|
||
|
|
So there is no risk in submitting.
|
||
|
|
As mentioned before, the site employs MediaWiki, and because articles may be revised by multiple
|
||
|
|
persons and in some cases outright corrected, there is a degree of assurance as to the
|
||
|
|
integrity of content.
|
||
|
|
If you're just beginning to explore the hacking world, much like myself, I'm sure you can
|
||
|
|
appreciate the importance of accurate information.
|
||
|
|
The MediaWiki set up also allows articles to be easily searchable as well as categorized,
|
||
|
|
and this is especially useful if you're looking for information on specific subject matter
|
||
|
|
in a hurry.
|
||
|
|
As of late, doctroppers.org has also been functioning as a sanctuary of sorts.
|
||
|
|
There are some people on Wikipedia who have been somewhat, and let's just say they've
|
||
|
|
been somewhat over-revisionist in their views of what is notable enough to be considered
|
||
|
|
a Wikipedia article and what is not.
|
||
|
|
Apparently, a large amount of hacking history is not notable.
|
||
|
|
And at time when the common media is tarnishing the meaning and history of hacking, to have
|
||
|
|
the positive aspects emitted from a repository like Wikipedia is especially disheartening,
|
||
|
|
the rejected articles must be preserved.
|
||
|
|
So rather than battling for consensus, we've simply been moving articles over to doctroppers
|
||
|
|
one by one.
|
||
|
|
If you would like to help in this process, there are also detailed instructions in the
|
||
|
|
doctroppers help section.
|
||
|
|
Regardless of your contribution, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
|
||
|
|
And speaking of contributions to the community, if you would like to record your own episode
|
||
|
|
of HPR, you may do so by visiting www.packerpublicradio.org and clicking on the link that says contribute.
|
||
|
|
Thank you for listening and have a good day.
|
||
|
