2.  Computer Security:
 Finding, and exploiting weaknesses of
computers
○ Phishing, Spam E-mail, Virus, bots…
 Computer Science:
 The process of finding insights in problem-
solving to create, innovate, and share
○ Computer Security, Facebook, Subculture

3.  White Hat:
 Ethical Hacker
 Black Hat:
 Malicious Hacker
 Cracker:
 people who enjoy breaking into computers and
phreaking the phone system
○ The basic difference is this: hackers build things,
crackers break them.
 Script Kiddie:
 Leeches/computer game hacks

4.  http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html

6.  Range from the Internet equivalent of
petty theft to state-sponsored
terrorism
 Personal Computer Users
 Corporations
 Governments/ National Security

7.  Spam E-mails
 Identity Theft

8.  Sony
 171 Million Dollar Loss
 News Report
 Citibank

9. “Phonemasters”

11.  People who break into a computer system and inform the
company that they have done so. They are either concerned
employees or security professionals who are paid to find
vulnerabilities. White hat hackers are the „good guys.‟”
 White Hat Hackers are hired to find the holes in security in
order to improve the security mainframe more efficiently..
 Famous White Hat Hackers Include:
 Steve Wozniak—the other Apple founder named Steve, started his
career creating blue boxes with Steve Jobs that allowed users to
hack the phone system and access free long distance calling.
 Kevin Mitnick—a white hat consultant and writer for big companies
nowadays, Mitnick started his career in 1982 by hacking a computer
in the North American Air Defense Command in Colorado Springs,
CO. He also altered a phone program to misdirect federal agents
trying to trace his call, sending them barging into the home of a
Middle Eastern immigrant watching television.

12.  The government, specifically the NSA
(National Security Association), is looking
for new white hat and black hackers who
can help improve offensive and defensive
tactics and abilities in cyber warfare.
 As of June 2012 there were over 15,000
job offers posted online for ethical hacking
positions.
 The hacking and computer security is growing
significantly, and the most effective way to
protect ourselves from cyber warfare is to
increase the man power operating, improving,
and implementing our online security.

13.  Every year, Las Vegas hosts one of the
largest anonymous hacking conventions in
the world called DEFCON.
 The convention does not require attendees to
provide their name, email address, or social
security number, and is attended by hundreds if
not thousands of federal agents looking to
recruit new experts every year.
 The cooperation between hackers and the
government has grown significantly.
○ NSA director General Keith Alexander spoke at
the recent 2012 DEFCON convention.

14.  White hat hackers, those who protect
the United States from foreign cyber
threats, are in high demand.
 The chances of getting hacked as an
individual are slim, since for the majority of
people nothing would be accomplished.
○ As an enemy to the U.S., hacking the nation‟s
military and intelligence agencies is more
lucrative and beneficial. For this reason we
need more White Hat Hackers to defend us.

16. - Operate using quantum physics
- Ability to solve problems that today‟s
computers can not
- Credit card hacking
- Black Holes
- Idea that black holes can be used as
quantum computer to store information

17. - Taking control of automobiles using
computer-programming skills
- Modern cars‟ operating systems are all
connected in a network called the
controller-area-network bus (CAN bus)
- Examples:
- Door Locks
- Telematics System
- Automatic Key

18.  Terrorists have become very “cyber savvy”
 Using cyber space to conduct operations
(not just to spread ideas and recruit)
 Planned May 2010 Times Square bombings
 Trying to get trade secrets by hacking
 “Organized crime in cyber space offers a
higher profit with a lower probability of
being identified and prosecuted.”
 FBI is fighting back

21.  Now that you know how advanced hacking
has gotten today, does this make you any
less trusting or wary of the internet?
 Have the new opportunities in hacking
presented today inspired any of you to look
for employment in the field? Explain.
 To what uses could hacking be specialized
towards in the future and for what reason?
