INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Before the world of computers came up, the word hack is already used a long time ago. From the era of the creative minds, Socrates and Galileo, hack can be a different word to them but it means they have their own theory and techniques on how to manage to run not a system but the mind of others. Having a subject like Information Security, there are some chapters that will be discuss using .PDF files and there will also be a short documentary viewing about hacking. The word hack was already existed since then. It even started on the telephone lines. Some of the hackers are called “phreaks” or “Phone Phreaking”. It is the art and science of cracking the phone network (so as, for example, to make free long-distance calls). By extension, security-cracking in any other context (especially, but not exclusively, on communications networks).

Age does not matter on hackers. Hackers can be around their mid-20s or 30s and above. There are also teens who can hack different kind of system just by using their computers and doing some hacking skills. Many kind of attacks can be executed not just physically but also through the use of systems and computers. There is an article from outspan which is Meaning of Hacking and the Different Kind of Hackers. The author named outspan said that, “When you hear news about hackers penetrating a website, your reaction will typically involve dilating pupils and astonishment -- if the website is your own, symptoms may include a big deal of swearing and deep hate for the hacking community as well.

    Ethics of Hacking

    Cracking is the correct concept for deconstructing/sabotaging in the cyberspace/Internet, e.g. by circumventing the security of a website and posting your own (critical) stuff on their site or spreading viruses in the Internet. Hacking, on the other hand, is about using and reconstructing the computer or other machines/systems in a new and (by the "owners" and "inventors") unintended way. Hacking is about reclaiming the system, manipulating it and using it, not destroying it. Both terms define people who can break into computer systems and rewrite programs, but hackers do not use their knowledge offensively or illegally. Crackers use their skills for illegal use: distributing pirated materials, stealing money and identities, etc.…

    Itard

    A patriarch of special education, Jean-Marc Gaspard Itard did not start out as the infamous physician he came to be. Educated to be a tradesman, Itard was forced to join the army during the late 1700’s, presenting himself as a physician. Demonstrating considerable talent for medicine, he received his medical education “on the job” and in 1796 took on a formal surgical internship in Paris. He quickly made his presence, and talents, known and was appointed Chief Physician at the National Institution for Deaf-Mutes in Paris, in 1800. He made his mark in medicine with numerous accomplishments in otology, but it was his work with “The Wild Boy of Aveyron” which earned him an international reputation. In early 1800, The Wild Boy of Aveyron was sent to Paris to be examined by a team of physicians. It was there where Itard met the boy, adopted him into his home and named him Victor. While other physicians declared Victor to be mentally deficient, Itard disagreed. He believed Victor seemed to be deficient due to a severe lack of human interaction. Itard devoted five years of his career into an intensive, individualized educational program. He believed that Victor could not learn effectively until he became attuned to his environment, leading Itard to rely heavily on sensory training and stimulation in his educational approach.…
