Hi, this is Totenkov, and I'll be talking about the hacker community both in real life as well as online.
|
|
Let's start with a brief look back on the community and scene.
|
|
Before the turn of the century, we were a pretty cool group of people.
|
|
The hacker halfway house was operating semi-functionally.
|
|
2600 was being read.
|
|
Defcon was actually about hacking and exchanging exploits ideas and information.
|
|
And we actually did stuff.
|
|
We threw the best parties, did insane amounts of drinking, and we either collaborated on or shared the end result of our projects with other hackers.
|
|
It was great, but then we let our inherently lazy nature take over.
|
|
The hacker halfway house is no longer what it used to be.
|
|
We let drama, disrespect, and disregard to our brothers and their property get in the way of having a common meeting ground.
|
|
2600 is now concert 12th paper, and it's not just a manual's fault.
|
|
We got lazy and decided not to write articles that are informative, interesting, or relevant.
|
|
We are the ones who sat idly by, as crap on botnets and hacking my space gets published.
|
|
Defcon is becoming about business cards swapping and e-peness measuring.
|
|
It's time for us to do something, not just the veterans, even though they know how things were and should be.
|
|
Nor should it be just the newcomers, although they need to recognize that the old schoolers have something to teach them.
|
|
We need to pull together and show the world who we really are.
|
|
We're not bot hunters or Chinese credit card broaders.
|
|
We're the ones who gave the internet, improve hardware so it runs more efficiently.
|
|
Hell, we create code for the software they use in order to feel safe from us.
|
|
We need to make ourselves hurt again.
|
|
When you're at work school or at a store, and here's someone misuse the term hacker, call them on it.
|
|
Don't be a jerk.
|
|
Explain that we're people who manipulate technology so it works better than it did before.
|
|
Did you read a blog entry about hack sores?
|
|
Just calmly reply and inform them that we don't speak with numbers, thus they shouldn't write with them.
|
|
Read the wired article describing us as Trinity loving cyber sex scenes.
|
|
Write them an intelligently worded letter stating that you hate the matrix and that USB ports aren't penis friendly.
|
|
Or that they are, either way, the mainstream media needs to be informed when it comes to who we are and what we do.
|
|
Only a margin of us are straight up chaos causing assholes, and we need to let people know.
|
|
It's about time for us to have a reawakening, and in order for it to work, we need to work together.
|
|
Girls, women, don't sit quietly while the guys talk shop.
|
|
Join in when you know something about the subject matter.
|
|
We're good for things besides making sandwiches and burden babies.
|
|
But on the flip side, don't come in and try to start drama or bitch excessively on the IRC network.
|
|
We have to work especially hard to be recognized as a valuable member of the community, and it only takes one stupid little girl to set the rest of us back.
|
|
Guys, don't be an ass pony.
|
|
The dog jokes really aren't that funny, and are only useful if you don't want to get laid, ever.
|
|
If she doesn't know what she's talking about, call her on it.
|
|
Don't troll them out of the community, but correct it.
|
|
We all need to get more involved, attend a 2600 or bin rev meeting, and actually talk.
|
|
Don't just sit there. Submit talks to comms that have nothing to do with botnets or poning a wireless network.
|
|
Start or help out with the hacker space.
|
|
Don't be an ass hat to your fellow hacker or someone who wants to start hacking.
|
|
We all have our weaknesses and strengths and need to recognize this.
|
|
I know this hasn't been a long broadcast or provided any new information,
|
|
but this has been bugging me for a while, and I just had to let it out.
|
|
But I do promise if Venigma lets me have a spot next month, I'll talk about something that's at least semi-cool.
|
|
Thank you and good night.
|
|
Thank you for listening to Hack with Public Radio.

|
|
Thanks for watching.
