黑客攻防:從入門到入獄

On Christmas day, 2013, many delighted people opened up new Xbox and Playstation gifts. That excitement turned to disappointment when they were unable to log onto game services and play. Now the hacker responsible will spend 27 months in jail.

2013年圣誕節那天，許多高興的人打開了Xbox和Playstation新禮物。當他們無法登錄游戲服務并玩游戲時，這種興奮變成了失望。現在，負責任的黑客將在監獄中度過27個月。

Austin Thompson is the worst kind of trendsetter. Back in 2013, many game services, whether it be Xbox, PlayStation, or Steam, were ill prepared for DDOS attacks. That fact became readily apparent when Thompson easily took down multiple services over the Christmas holiday break.

奧斯汀·湯普森(Austin Thompson)是最糟糕的潮流引領者。早在2013年，許多游戲服務，無論是Xbox，PlayStation還是Steam，都為DDOS攻擊做好了準備。當湯普森在圣誕節假期期間輕松取消多項服務時，這一事實就變得顯而易見。

Under the name DerpTrolling, the hacker took requests, made announcements of next targets, and then frequently brought another game service to its knees.

黑客以DerpTrolling為名，接受了請求，宣布了下一個目標，然后經常將另一項游戲服務推倒。

Others took notice and followed suit, DerpTrolling inspired Lizard Squad, Phantom Squad, and others, some of which set up DDOS-for-hire services.

其他人注意到并效仿，DerpTrolling啟發了蜥蜴隊，幻影隊等人，其中一些人建立了DDOS出租服務。

Later in 2014, Federal Agents found and arrested Thompson. In late 2018 he pleaded guilty. Now the hacker has been sentenced to 27 months in prison and ordered to pay $95,000 in restitution. If you think 27 months doesn’t seem that long, keep in mind Thompson has been in jail since his arrest in 2014. [ZDNet]

2014年下半年，聯邦特工找到并逮捕了湯普森。在2018年末，他認罪。現在，該黑客已被判處27個月監禁，并被要求支付95,000美元的賠償金。如果您認為27個月似乎還不夠長，請記住，湯普森(Thompson)自2014年被捕以來一直在監獄里。 [ ZDNet ]

Superhuman Promises to turn off Super Tracking:?Superhuman, an email app that comes with fancy features and a $30 a month price tag, had a tracking problem. By default, it injected a tracking pixel into every email sent out that would tell you how many times a person opened an email and that person’s location. It was overkill, and problematic, and thankfully, Superhuman is rolling the feature back. [TechCrunch]
超人承諾關閉超級追蹤：超人是一款電子郵件應用程序，具有精美功能和每月30美元的價格標簽，但存在追蹤問題。默認情況下，它會向發送的每封電子郵件中添加一個跟蹤像素，該像素將告訴您一個人打開電子郵件的次數以及該人的位置。這太過分了，而且有問題，值得慶幸的是，超人正在回滾該功能。 [ TechCrunch ]
You should really stop using your ISP Wi-Fi router:?Confirming what we’ve been saying for years, ISP provided routers tend to be subpar at best and only cost you extra money in the long run. A study shows that ISP supplied routers were unable to achieve full speeds on 100 Mbps networks. Worse yet the 2.4 GHz bands lost speed at a distance at a faster pace than 5 GHz band, which defies all logic. [TechRadar]
您應該真正停止使用ISP Wi-Fi路由器：確認我們多年來一直在說的話，ISP提供的路由器往往最好的情況是低于標準的，從長遠來看只會花費您額外的錢。一項研究表明，ISP提供的路由器無法在100 Mbps網絡上實現全速。更糟糕的是，2.4 GHz頻段的速度損失遠比5 GHz頻段快，這違背了所有邏輯。 [ TechRadar ]
Apple may soon ditch its terrible keyboards:??When you consider all the recalls as of late, the MacBook’s sterling reputation is a little bit damaged. One of the biggest reasons is the terrible keyboard that tends to stick or break altogether. Now Apple may be planning to change to a better design. Unfortunately, we don’t have confirmation yet; this is still a rumor. But here’s hoping the rumor is true. [Engadget]
蘋果可能很快就會放棄其糟糕的鍵盤：當您考慮到最近的所有召回事件時，MacBook的純正聲譽受到了一點損害。最大的原因之一是可怕的鍵盤容易完全粘住或折斷。現在，蘋果可能正計劃更改為更好的設計。不幸的是，我們還沒有確認。這仍然是謠言。但是這里希望這個謠言是真的。 [ Engadget ]
Samsung sued for allegedly misleading ads:? Samsung regularly touts its phones as water resistant. And they are, under the right conditions. If you drop many Samsung phones in fresh water and they don’t go deeper than 1.5 meters, the phones will likely be fine. But water resistance ratings doesn’t cover salt water or pool water scenarios, which is where Samsung shows its phones in ads. Now an Australian watchdog is suing the company, claiming the ads are misleading. [Slashgear]
三星以涉嫌誤導廣告為由提起訴訟：三星經常稱其手機具有防水功能。而且它們處于正確的條件下。如果將許多三星手機放在淡水中，并且它們的深度不超過1.5米，則這些手機可能會很好。但是，防水等級并不涵蓋鹽水或游泳池用水的情況，這是三星在廣告中展示其手機的地方。現在，澳大利亞監管機構正在起訴該公司，稱其廣告具有誤導性。 [ Slashgear ]
YouTube bans Infosec videos in a bid to ban hacking videos:?Kody Kinzie, a co-founder of Hacker Interchange, was in for a rude surprise when he went to upload the latest video to the Cyber Weapons Lab channel. He couldn’t upload it: the channel had a strike for “teaching about hacking.” While the subject of hacking is covered, it’s not about how to do it illegally. Instead, it covers how to use hacking skills to protect against illegal uses. YouTube doesn’t see the distinction it seems. [The Verge]
YouTube禁止Infosec視頻，以禁止黑客入侵視頻： Hacker Interchange的共同創始人Kody Kinzie在將最新視頻上傳到網絡武器實驗室頻道時感到意外。他無法上傳：該頻道罷工了“示教黑客”。雖然涵蓋了黑客攻擊的主題，但它與非法操作無關。相反，它涵蓋了如何使用黑客技巧來防止非法使用。 YouTube似乎看不到這種區別。 [邊緣]
User Inyerface is the worst—on purpose:?A well-designed user interface is incredibly important. To drive that point home, design firm Bagaar created a site that features the most frustrating user interface you will ever use. If you manage to complete it (instead of tossing your keyboard at the wall), User Inyerface will reward you with a celebratory gif and show the time it took you to finish. Our best is 5:19. What can you do?? [Ars Technica]
用戶Inyerface的目的是最糟糕的：精心設計的用戶界面非常重要。為了將這一點帶回家，設計公司Bagaar創建了一個站點，該站點具有您將要使用的最令人沮喪的用戶界面。如果您設法完成此操作(而不是在墻上扔鍵盤)，用戶Inyerface會為您提供慶祝gif的獎勵，并顯示完成該操作所花費的時間。我們最好的時間是5:19。你能做什么？ [ Ars Technica ]
SwiftKey Beta adds its own take on Animoji:?Apple’s Animoji is all the rage, but you need an iPhone from the X series to use them. Now Microsoft has its own version of Animoji called Puppets, and the company is showing them off in a beta of SwiftKey. The most impressive part is just about any Android phone can use them, no special kinect-like camera needed. [9to5Google]
SwiftKey Beta在Animoji上添加了自己的特色： Apple的Animoji非常流行，但是您需要X系列的iPhone才能使用它們。現在，微軟擁有自己的Animoji版本，稱為Puppets，該公司正在SwiftKey Beta版中對其進行展示。最令人印象深刻的部分是幾乎所有Android手機都可以使用它們，不需要特殊的類似kinect的相機。 [ 9to5Google ]
Google’s upcoming camera app makes Night Sight easier to find:?We think Google’s Night Sight is amazing. But one of the main problems with it is the feature is buried in a submenu which may make it hard to discover. An upcoming update will solve that by moving the Night Sight option to an easier to find location. Very nice. Now if we could just get it on non-Pixel phones… [XDA Developers]
Google即將推出的相機應用程序使Night Sight更容易找到：我們認為Google的Night Sight很棒。但是它的主要問題之一是該功能被埋在子菜單中，這可能使它難以發現。即將發布的更新將通過將Night Sight選項移動到更容易找到的位置來解決此問題。非常好。現在，如果我們可以在非像素手機上使用它… [ XDA開發人員]

Bad news: too much exposure to sunlight is generally bad for you. Good news: the Earth does a decent job of protecting you from that damage (but wear your sunscreen).

壞消息：太多的陽光通常對您不利。好消息：地球在保護您免受損害方面做得不錯(但要戴上防曬霜)。

Astronauts, however, don’t get that protection when they’re in space. So we’ve always naturally assumed that astronauts are more likely to face cancer and heart disease thanks to that greater exposure to the Sun’s harmful rays.

但是，宇航員在太空中并不會獲得這種保護。因此，我們總是自然而然地認為，由于更多地暴露在太陽的有害射線下，宇航員更有可能面臨癌癥和心臟病。

But a new study suggests that may not necessarily be the case, at least for the short trips we’re currently taking to space. The study focused on over 400 astronauts and cosmonauts, and how they fared after their return to Earth. What scientists discovered is, despite the time spent in space, the spacefaring individuals haven’t contracted cancer or heart disease at a higher rate than the general populace.

但是一項新的研究表明，不一定如此，至少對于我們目前正在太空的短途旅行而言。該研究的重點是400多名宇航員和宇航員，以及他們返回地球后的表現。科學家發現，盡管在太空上花費了很多時間，但航天人員患癌癥或心臟病的比率并沒有比普通民眾高。

But the study doesn’t make clear if it controlled for the better healthcare astronauts and cosmonauts are likely to receive, and it cautions that all things considered our trips are short. A trip to Mars and back will be much longer, and thus more likely to be damaging. [Gizmodo]

但是該研究并不清楚是否控制了更好的醫療保健宇航員和宇航員，并且警告說所有考慮我們旅行的事情都是短暫的。往返火星的旅程將更長，因此更有可能造成破壞。 [ Gizmodo ]
