Filmen varer 30 minutter RessurserHovedmeny Transkript av filmen VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TROMSÿ Good evening from CNN Headline NEWS. Attorney General Janet Reno is putting cyber vandals on notice. She says the FBI will do everything it can to catch them and bring them to justice. A FILM BY STIG-LENNART SØRENSEN So how much are these cyber vandals costing us? well according to Lloyds of London last year, hacking cost companies 20 billion dollars in lost revenues and repair costs. Sounds incredible but its true... NEW YORK CITY HACKERS You've been hearing about whiter whites and brighter colors for years so which detergents really deliver? Find out! "Off the hook" The Hacker Radio Show Emmanuel Goldstein: Well somebody who certainly knows something about the difference between criminals and hackers is someone we've been talking about for many years here on this program. He's the center of the whole FREEKEVIN movement. And of course that would be Kevin Mitnick himself... -Kevin, are you there? -I am here! -How are you doing? -Doing a lot better than I was a few -weeks ago -or a couple of years ago even! When your first went in, the Net was a completely different place wasn't it? Yeah, I think the Mosaic was version 1.0 and people were using Lynx. I mean the Internet has completely boomed while I was in custody. I remember seeing that article five years ago, the front page article I am not talking about that one on July 4'th 1994, we'll get to that one in a little bit but the one on February 15'th 1995 by John Markoff that basically was giving the details of your arrest in North Carolina. In the first paragraph they said that you were caught with 20.000 credit cards numbers, and I think it was 19 paragraphs later that they mentioned, he mentioned, that there was no indication that you'd ever use any of them... You just don't go blaming somebody without evidence! -They say 'oh hackers did this' -But sure you can! -Well they did obviously... -It just happened! But how do you know hackers did it? I mean somebody going out there and turning on an OC12 or whatever and aiming it at somebody and overwhelming them with all kinds of nonsensical packets and bringing them down to their knees and taking them off the Net entirely, that turns them into a hacker just because they do that? I mean you know anybody with the access could have done it, and not everybody with access is a hacker! And this is Emmanuel Goldstein and we'll be back again next week with another exciting edition of "Off The Hook". For Izaac... have yourself a good night! Fall 1999: Emmanuel and his magazine 2600: The Hackers Quarterly publish the DeCSS code on their website DeCSS is a program used to copy DVD's DeCSS was made in 1999 by a group of European hackers. Now everyone is able to copy their own DVD's For their private use Or other uses January 2000: Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) sues web sites that link or publishes DeCSS. 2600:The Hackers Quarterly is set to go to trial in July Meanwhile in an empty office building in Manhattan Eugene E. Kashpureff -I am Eugene E. Kashpureff -What do you do? That's really a good question. I've done a lot of things I've driven a tow truck. Got very good at driving tow trucks at one point in my life. I am probably better known for the work that I do with computers. I built my first computer when I was ten years old. I played a lot with computers when I was a teenager. In my early twenties I did some work in medical billings systems. I did some work for the United States Government. Then I went back to driving tow trucks! It is widely held that mankind has got basic rights For the most part those basic rights that are represented in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, and copied by constitutions around the world Of those rights, two of the ones that I feel are the most important are the freedom of speech, and the freedom to privacy Both of these rights are the freedoms of communication And I believe strongly in those rights The Internet has been a societal revolution. The reason the Internet been a societal revolution is that it has changed the way fundamentally that we as a world wide society communicate Many people feel that the Internet is a free international communication medium when in fact it's not. The Internet as we know it today is controlled by the U.S. Government. And I am opposed to this. The United States Government, through its contracts and programs, controls everything from IP-address allocations to who has overriding authority over the domain name space. In addition they govern how the TR1 internet providers can do business Ultimately this ends up translating into total control of the Internet You see, if we got rid of this switch, these two tracks, three tracks including the pink one, rose two and a half inches, then we could duck underneath them here only half an inch down ... so the different city approach rises to here and then falls again not to let this guy get through but let the Alvary cut off get through under this edge. Rights, that's right yeah Andy Miller A lot of electrical engineering hackers joined the club to work this or its predecessor. This is an electrical-mechanical system. Suffice it to say this control system was an attraction to the sort of people Who liked logic problems and switching circuits and the same kind who liked logic problems and switching circuits and the same kind of people who were attracted to computers when they first became available. So a great deal of computer hacking, that is to say independent research as it were, by students originated out of the MIT club where the students were already here working on the system and also on our own telephone system. John E. McNamara There was a computer available. One of the buildings next door to the original club that had a nice big round display on it and this was used to make a program called Spacewar. This was sort of an early video game. It had a little rocket ship and a sun ... this was fairly sophisticated in terms of one version of it had a real-time diagram of the solar system where all the stars were and so forth and the sun had gravity and if you fired a projectile from your rocket it would curve inwards towards the sun due to the gravity and so forth So it had all these basically high-tech features and it was considered an intellectual challenge I think to add these features and other people involved would say 'oh that's neat', you know, 'could you make it do such and such' so it was always the case of ... Peter Sampson actually added the entire celestial filament; all the stars all in the correct places slowly preceding across the background So you know, this was considered a very admirable thing to do, to do something that was intellectually challenging. Alan Kotok I came to MIT in 1958. Actually the first thing I did when I came to MIT after checking in was to go to the freshman Activities Midway and found the Tech Model Railroad Club and sort of never left. Computer hacking at TMRC started with the TX-0 We just had this very capable computer of its day. The telephone system security was mostly security by obscurity, that is The assumption that people wouldnít understand it well enough to exploit it and so you get a bunch of MIT students who for whom understanding how things work is a major goal in life. You're describing sort of the principle of the attractive nuisance You have some complex system out there, be it the phone system, be it in later days computer networks and certainly there's a grand temptation to demonstrate your understanding and mastery of the system by getting it to do things it wasn't intended to do Four or five years ago I got my first computer; it was an used 486sx33 Didn't even come with a CD-ROM drive, I had a little 13 inch monitor I paid about $800 for it. I loved it, I really did. And the first thing I did when I got it home; I took the thing apart and put in a CD-ROM drive I was like 11-12 years old, it was the first thing I did before I even turned it on and I just fell in love with them, I mean, it's something that I absolutely love to do. After that my computer eventually broke my mother got a computer, a Dell Pentium 200 with all of 32 megs of RAM and Windows98. And I started playing with it, and I started changing literally everything. She would wake me up in the middle of night and yell at me because her computer wasn't working Mike Hudack -I am Mike Hudack -What do you do? Right now I am working at a computer security company doing research into new products. I am chief scientist over here, I do a lot of computer security research and development. In the past I've maintained a computer security website and was frequently known as a hacker The monthly 2600 meeting There's a definite community, but I think the community is more made up of people who wish to be hackers, than it is of actual hackers the public community at least. When you see these people at 2600 meetings and the like, they tend not to have the skill that someone who'd legitimally be called a hacker would have Talked to a lot of people in the area, lot of people I can't really talk about who have done things they shouldn't have done, whether they they be grey hat, black hat, or white hat. Some of whom have been arrested, some of whom have not. It's a difficult area to be in especially because more often than not, the FBI will assume you're guilty before proven innocent and therefore a lot of these people keep very low profiles. You won't see most of the more skilled people at a 2600 meeting for instance and there is good reason for that it's because they're not ... there is a saying that the best hacker is the one you've never heard about and it's very true The hackers tend to be loners but only in society in general, when they are with other hackers, not loners at all That's what it is! A pencil, you wedge a piece in there so that it doesn't reset. You're holding down the button, holding down the pen -so it won't do a hardware reset... -Yeah when you buy that mod chip that like the one you just were talking about, they come with a -a little spring in this hole ... -Yeah! I think the case against Emmanuel and against the others who've released the DVD-crack is ridiculous. You don't sue people when they post a vulnerability to bug track, you thank them When a vulnerability is discovered public disclosure is the way that everyone has always traditionally gone in the computer industry. ...might otherwise cause trouble, of the governments back, on a ridiculous intellectual trail, I don't know! Let's see what we got here... July 14'th: 3.000 hackers attend the H2K conference Spudz I consider most of the people here in one shape, way or form hackers because hackers doesn't just apply to computers. I think it applies to everything, it applies to people who can talk their way out of situations, it applies to people who can take two different pieces of equipment apart that have nothing to do with one another and make a different piece of equipment out of them. I got my first computer, an IBM PC, when I was seven years old. And the first thing I did was to take it apart and made my grandparents heart jump out of their rib-cage because they just paid $750 for this thing. So they were miffed and I said 'Hey look, I can put it back together I promise', and I did and from that time until the time I was able to buy my own PC, they never denied me a new PC, because they knew, you know that was going to be it for me. 'Share the knowledge' has always been the watchword of TAP, the Technological American Party, which was a newsletter I published for many years. It died out in 1984, just as 2600 Magazine, the Hackers Quarterly started up. And so the torch has been handed off and carried as it were by 2600 Magazine You're in New York, which is an activist center because you have a large population to draw from, can get together from the various boroughs and it's just a subway ride away. But mostly because New York is the communications capital of America. All the TV-networks are here, the news organizations are here and if it's going to make noise anywhere, it's going to make noise in New York. And because its a communications capital, we got all these political activists and they happen to come to the technology convention of ours, they get up and bring their politics into our technical sessions and so it seems like it's a more political convention. Ask people running it, they'll go 'Politics? Huh? What?' Lately we had to get into political issues because the politics are invading the technology. Ordinarily we don't really like to mess with politics because that kind of adversarial relationship has nothing to do with the pure technical operations and the technical specifications of what we like to play with, the hardware! All hacking is hacking away at a computer keyboard until it does what you want it to do. That's all! Our proper title has been usurped by the press and handed off to these 14 year old twerps that crack into system security and we call these people crackers because they crack system security. Some of the things that they are planning to do on the hacktivism front are great, such as providing Internet access for the Chinese. It's almost like they are closed off on a local network rather than a huge global network. They don't know whatís out there, they have no idea they haven's seen the tip of the iceberg yet and what the hacktivists are planning to do is punch some holes in their defenses if you will where they keep the Chinese inside and letting them out so that they can see what's out there on that whole Internet, the whole global Internet. I think that's a good thing, I think it's time that the Chinese got their eyes open beyond what's given to them by their government so that they can see what's really going on out there and let the citizens of that country decide for themselves whether or not they should be granted that access and a revolution will occur. Jon Johansen - DeCSS entrepreneur District attorney has said that I am probably at most just facing a fine. And in Norway, fines are based on income the previous year and I didn't have any income last year so ... Sometimes a guy is screwed and I am terribly afraid that Emmanuel might get screwed. But when you look at the solid facts behind the case, the technology behind the case, I think Emmanuel is going to come out on top, and I think the MPAA is just running scared; they started something, they did not understand what they were starting because they don't understand the bits and bytes of the technology and I think its going back to bite them! Mr. Ohm If you are wondering why this kid is up here talking about computers that were made ten, five years before he was born... The answer is I was always interested in computers when I was very small and the type of computers that I am to talk about here were the computers that were around then so I just became very interested in finding out what was around before me and around when I was born. So in the process of kind of having that history lesson I became very interested in these computers July 17'th 2000: MPAA versus 2600 trial begins Robin D. Gross, 2600 lawyer We've gotten involved in this case because we really see it as a fundamental threat to our most basic civil liberties in this country. MPAA lawyer It's not protected speech It's an act in international computer theft And that I don't think is free speech but this is - and they're absolutely entitled to their opinions and I wish some of them had better voices but they are doing a good job! I don't necessarily think it's a counter-culture I think it's part of culture. I believe in socially responsible hacking. Technology in the deployment of technology is a great force that is affecting the daily lives of everybody in our society today more and more everyday as technology speeds forward. The employment of this technology in our daily lives brings up real issues, issues that pertain to those basic human rights we hold, those basic human rights of communication. Now on the one hand the development of the laws the acceptable societal norms which control that technology is driven largely by commercial interest. The hackers largely are the people's voice that can be raised up to have an effect on the development of those rules those laws which govern the deployment of the technology, for the people not for the commercial interest.
