Hacked : a radical approach to hacker culture and crime / by Steinmetz, Kevin F.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Public discourse, from pop culture to political rhetoric, portrays the figure of the hacker distinctly: a deceptive, digital villain. But what do we actually know about hackers? In Hacked, Kevin F. Steinmetz explores what it means to be a hacker and the nuances of hacker culture. Through extensive interviews with hackers, observations of hacker communities, and analyses of hacker cultural products, Steinmetz demystifies the figure of the hacker and situates the practice of hacking within larger political and economic structures of capitalism, crime, and control. This captivating book challenges many of the common narratives of hackers, suggesting that not all forms of hacking are criminal and, contrary to popular opinion, the broader hacker community actually plays a vital role in our information economy. Hacked thus explores how governments, corporations, and other institutions attempt to manage hacker culture through the creation of ideologies and laws that protect powerful economic interests. Not content to simply critique the situation, Steinmetz ends his work by providing actionable policy recommendations that aim to redirect focus from the individual to corporations, governments, and broader social issues. A compelling study, Hacked helps us understand not just the figure of the hacker but also digital crime and social control in our high-tech society.-- Back cover.Acknowledgments -- Introduction: toward a radical criminology of hackers -- Setting the stage -- The front end of hacking -- Craft(y)ness -- On authority and protocol -- The radical turn -- The (hack) mode of production -- Crafting a crackdown -- Conclusion -- Appendix: field research lists -- Notes -- References -- Index -- About the author.

Hackers / by Levy, Steven.;
Includes bibliographical references (p. [479]-483) and index.pt. I. True hackers : Cambridge : the fifties and sixties -- pt. II. Hardware hackers : Northern California : the seventies -- pt. III: Game hackers : the Sierras: the eighties -- pt. IV. The last of true hackers : Cambridge : 1983."This 25th anniversary edition of Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers---those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early 8̀0s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers." "Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the Hacker Ethic," that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II." "If you want to change the world in some big way, that's where you should start---biological molecules. Those are all pretty deep problems that need the same type of crazy fanaticism of youthful genius and naiveté that drove the PC industry, and can have the same impact on the human condition."---Bill Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation"--BOOK JACKET.

Coding freedom : the ethics and aesthetics of hacking / by Coleman, E. Gabriella,1973-;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-247) and index.Introduction : The tale of two worlds -- Part I. Histories : The life of a free software hacker -- A tale of two legal regimes -- Part II. Codes of value : The craft and craftiness of hacking -- Two ethical movements in Debian -- Part III. The politics of avowel and disavowel : Code is speech -- Conclusion : The cultural critique of intellectual property law -- Epilogue : How to proliferate distinctions, not destroy them."Who are computer hackers? What is free software? And what does the emergence of a community dedicated to the production of free and open source software--and to hacking as a technical, aesthetic, and moral project--reveal about the values of contemporary liberalism? Exploring the rise and political significance of the free and open source software (F/OSS) movement in the United States and Europe, Coding Freedom details the ethics behind hackers' devotion to F/OSS, the social codes that guide its production, and the political struggles through which hackers question the scope and direction of copyright and patent law. In telling the story of the F/OSS movement, the book unfolds a broader narrative involving computing, the politics of access, and intellectual property. E. Gabriella Coleman tracks the ways in which hackers collaborate and examines passionate manifestos, hacker humor, free software project governance, and festive hacker conferences. Looking at the ways that hackers sustain their productive freedom, Coleman shows that these activists, driven by a commitment to their work, reformulate key ideals including free speech, transparency, and meritocracy, and refuse restrictive intellectual protections. Coleman demonstrates how hacking, so often marginalized or misunderstood, sheds light on the continuing relevance of liberalism in online collaboration."--Back cover.
