From the article Psychological Profile of Network Intruder by Dragan Pleskonjic, Veljko Milutinovic, Nemanja Macek, Borislav Djordjevic and Marko Caric
A hacker is defined as a person who knowledgeably use computer to avoid rules and restrictions. All kinds of network intruders can also be called hackers. A simple conclusion can be made - hacking is about respect, reputation and acknowledgment. Any individual might be tempted to believe that hackers are very altruistic, do serve the environment and are socially engaged. Hackers try to solve interesting problems, and they learn to keep score primarily by what other hackers think of their skill.
Hackers are more or less anonymous so it is not easy to provide detailed information about their activity and motivation. Does the very fact that they spend much time using computer for activities not considered to be scientific but yet involving curiosity, suggests their personality? Is the choice of their interest caused by their inner disharmony? Regarding the amount of damage they caused, rough answer would often be yes! However, we should emphasize once again that it difficult to properly classify all those invading network systems.
• most of computer users are white males aging 12-28 years
• most of hackers have a good repertoire of social skills
• the term middle-class is meaningless, for most computer users considers themselves members of middle-class
Intrusion in the network system requires skill, creativity and very often the ability to deceive other people. It can be classified as a mixture of computer skills and psychology. In any case, it would be person who uses the secrets of his trade to make all kinds of manipulations. It does not necessarily mean that he deceives everybody and everyone, but it definitely means that in many situations he feels relieved of moral responsibility for his actions. Moreover, he would often justify them. Hackers are likely to practice their profession until the age of thirty after which time most of them willingly leave such way of life. This comes in support of a profile of typical young burglar who is not critical enough of his actions. The fact that they are young and reckless, however, cannot fully justify such behavior A hacker is particularly inspired by the opportunity to commit a crime of theft without being physically present. Even the reward can come by itself. The ones who steal are called thieves. The ones who cause damage to the property are called destructive.
After we'll watch a Criminal Minds episode P911. From TV.COM...
A young boy who had disappeared a year ago turns up for sale by a child pornographer on an online auction. A former profiler who now heads the FBI's Innocent Images Unit asks Gideon and the BAU to help her save the boy's life. We'll try to make sense of the profile that the BAU creates at the end of the episode.
C Block Law 12 - Today we'll be in the library working on our Keegstra newspaper articles. I posted the following yesterday...
In this activity, you'll be a newspaper reporter writing a respective story on the case after the Supreme Court of Canada made its final decision on the matter (in other words the case has been decided on by the supreme court justices and they've handed down their decision so you know whether Keegstra's rights have been violated or not and why the judges either disagreed with that violation or allowed it to happen). You need about four paragraphs dealing with: a brief history - summary of the case (why he was charged and what the decisions in the Alberta Court of Queens Bench and the Alberta Court of Appeals were); an explanation of the charter rights violations (sections 2b and 11d) and Keegstra's defence; an explnation of the decision made by the justices of the Supreme Court; and opinion from both sides (those for and against Keegstra's defence). Use the questions in the Law text as a guide.
This assignment will be considered as your first major project in the class and is due a week from today (Friday, October 1, 2010). For help with the Keegstra case check out:
The Canadian Encyclopedia - The Keegstra Case
Canadian Human Rights Council - Testing the limits of freedom of expression
Stop Racism - James Keegstra (it's heavy on the legal speak)
Judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada R. v. Keegstra, [1990] 3 S.C.R. 697
D Block Geograhy 12 - Yesterday we looked at magma, igneous rocks, and plutonic (intrusive) igneous rock features (both concordant and discordant). Today we will focus on sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. We'll take down a cross section diagram of the geology here in south western British Columbia. We'll collectively define compaction, cementation, recrystallization, clastic sedimentary rock, and non clastic sedimentary rock. We will define contact, regional, and dynamic metamorphosism and you'll have question 15 from page 366 in your Geosystems text for homework.

Pau Hana Ohana. I'll see you on Tuesday.
