Any fans of the 1997 Italian #cyberpunk movie 'Nirvana' out there?

It is an absolute guilty pleasure of mine, and not just for Christopher Lambert, the Highlander himself, jacking in to cyberspace. #hacking #history #histodons #movies

#OnThisDay in #hacking #history, SATAN is released.

Press coverage at the time was about as calm and measured as you might expect. #histodons #hacking

"1995: The SATAN (Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks) security tool was released by Dan Farmer and Wietse Venema. The release stirred huge debate about security auditing tools being given to the public. Fun fact: @neilhimself drew the tool's documentation artwork."
Software that will put enormous power into the hands of malicious hackers will be released on the Internet today by a Californian biker whose actions have been described by one industry newspaper as "mailing assault rifles to 5,000 random homes". Dan Farmer wrote Satan, the Security Administrator's Tool for Analysing Networks, when in charge of network security at a successful Silicon Valley firm. It operates across the Internet to give a quick and comprehensive list of security flaws in any system at which it is pointed. The flaws that Satan identifies had all been published before Mr Farmer wrote the program. But the knowledge was not easy to find or collate, and in practice only dedicated network administrators knew where to find it. Satan uses a primitive form of artificial intelligence to make the knowledge available to anyone who uses it. Once it has analysed the network it is probing, Satan produces a list of all the security flaws it has found, along with a description and an account of how to fix them. The program drew gasps of admiration when Mr Farmer demonstrated it at the Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference in San Francisco last week. Everyone who has seen it agrees it will be a powerful tool in the right hands. What is controversial is his decision to release it across the Internet. His previous employers, Silicon Graphics, fired him when he made the plan known, or, as he puts it, "We came to a mutual agreement to get the hell out away from each other."

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter reconnaissance for an attack on an alleged North Vietnamese-controlled village at My Lai.

As the ground attack developed below, Thompson realised he was in fact witnessing something something else:

A massacre.

He decided to act. /1 🧵 #history #histodons

#History #SaintPatricksDay #Ireland

Very few people outside #Mexico have heard of the Saint Patrick’s Battalion , a unit of mostly Irish immigrants, who defected from the US Army during the US invasion of Mexico (1846-1848), led by Irishman John Riley. They fought several battles on the side of the Mexican army and, after the Mexicans were defeated, appr. 50 of them were tried, sentenced and executed by the US Army. The “San Patricios” are still considered heroes in Mexico to this day.

I wrote a short blog about how #hackers were portrayed in early to mid 1980s news print media, an interesting time in #hacking #history where you can almost see reporters sour on hackers in real time, article to article, as anti-hacker fears grew and grew. #histodons

Color photo of a small translucent light brown model of a cat, standing with one paw extended as if in play. This is a close up of the cat showing the craftsmanship, impossibly tiny smooth grooves are sun into the surface to create fur texture. Each little toe is defined, the ears are sculpted flawlessly, the tiny diamond eyes glow white. According to the auction site it is only 2 1/2 inches long.

This is the month in which a Spanish chronicler and husband of Cuxirimay died. She was an #Inca princess who had been Atahualpa's fiancé (or principal wife according to some accounts). It's believed Cuxirimay helped Juan write some of his book.

The Soviet atheist magazine Bezbozhnik was about a century ahead of its time... if it came out today, I'm sure it would be infamous thanks to social media... FOX News would probably be out there leading a crusade against it!

Archaeological study of 24 ancient Mexican cities reveals that collective forms of governance, infrastructural investments, and collaboration all help societies last longer

Some cities only last a century or two, while others last for a thousand years or more. Often, there aren't clear records left behind to explain why.

I'm in the process of scanning, and proofreading the resulting text, from chapter 1 of "Profits of Deceit" by Patricia Franklin, a book about fraud. Chapter 1 is all about John Maxfield, infamous 80s US #hacking scene boogeyman. #hacker #history
Burnt-out buildings rub shoulders with banks that have gone bust on Detroit's north side. Here, on forgotten avenues dotted with abandoned cars, sheets of plywood board up businesses that have packed up and left, in search of customers that have gone before them. Two motorcycle gangs, the Scorpions and the Forbidden Wheels, provide deafening tributes to horsepower for members of the nearby First Psychic Church of Brightmoor. Even the quiet of tree-lined streets is punctuated by fire bombs and gunshots. Vacant flats have been converted to crack houses, drug dens for the severely addicted. In the local high school, as a means of reducing violence by confiscating weapons, students pass through metal detectors before entering the classroom. Amidst this study in urban decay, John Maxfield operates out of an old distribution warehouse sandwiched between the faded storefronts of two beauty parlours. The harsh odours of permanents and hair colourants mix with the hot fat smells of a fried-chicken outlet located at the mouth of the alley that Maxfield drives down each day. Arriving at the guarded entrance of his headquarters, Maxfield parks his dented white Dodge van and dials a secret code on a telephone by a jailhouse door. He pushes two buttons in sequence and the barred door releases. With another formula of codes, Maxfield opens a thick, battleship-grey door made of steel.

#OnThisDay in #history - in 1683 Caroline of Ansbach was born. Caroline was orphaned at age 13 and because her eldest half-brother didn't want to take care of her, she was sent to live with friends of her late mother. Luckily, Sophia Charlotte loved being Caroline's guardian and loved the girl as her own. Caroline was well educated and her curiosity was encouraged. Her beauty, intelligence, and kindness were renown when she was Queen of Great Britain.
