cybercrime
(foldoc)
cybercrime

Any of a broad range of activities that use
computers or networks to commit illegal acts, including theft of
personal data, phishing, distribution of malware,
copyright infringement, denial of service attacks,
cyberstalking, bullying, online harassment, child
pornography, child predation, stock market manipulation and
corporate espionage.

For example, a vulnerability in a victim's web browser might
result in him unknowingly downloading a Trojan horse virus,
which installs a keystroke logger on his computer, which allows
the cracker to steal private data such as Internet banking or
e-mail passwords.

The degree to which an activity counts as "cybercrime" rather than
just "crime" depends on whether they could exist without computers
or networks.

cybercrime as a service
(foldoc)
cybercrime as a service

(CaaS) A kind of software as a service
that involves performing illegal online activities
(cybercrime) on behalf of others for money. Cybercrime as a
service represents an evolution of online crime from the sale
of illegal products such as malware and exploit kits to
offering everything necessary to arrange a cyber fraud or to
conduct a cyber attack. As well as providing malicious
code, the service provider also rents out the infrastructure
(servers and network connections) to control the
distribution and operation of the malware, e.g., bullet-proof
hosting or huge botnets.

cybercrud

/si:'ber-kruhd/ 1. (Coined by Ted Nelson) Obfuscatory
tech-talk. Verbiage with a high MEGO factor. The computer
equivalent of bureaucratese.

2. Incomprehensible stuff embedded in e-mail. First there
were the "Received" headers that show how mail flows through
systems, then MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions)
headers and part boundaries, and now huge blocks of hex for
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) or PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)
digital signatures and certificates of authenticity. This
stuff all has a purpose and good user interfaces should hide
it, but all too often users are forced to wade through it.

track accurately just about every move your hand is capable of
making. The accompanying software includes a
three-dimensional hand model that can he added to any {virtual
reality} application. The glove includes a mount for Polhemus

cybernetics
(foldoc)
cybernetics

/si:`b*-net'iks/ The study of control and
communication in living and man-made systems.

The term was first proposed by Norbert Wiener in the book
referenced below. Originally, cybernetics drew upon
electrical engineering, mathematics, biology, neurophysiology,
anthropology, and psychology to study and describe actions,
feedback, and response in systems of all kinds. It aims to
understand the similarities and differences in internal
workings of organic and machine processes and, by formulating
abstract concepts common to all systems, to understand their
behaviour.

Modern "second-order cybernetics" places emphasis on how the
process of constructing models of the systems is influenced by
those very systems, hence an elegant definition - "applied
epistemology".

Related recent developments (often referred to as {sciences of
complexity}) that are distinguished as separate disciplines
are artificial intelligence, neural networks, {systems
theory}, and chaos theory, but the boundaries between those
and cybernetics proper are not precise.

cyberpunk
(foldoc)
cyberpunk

/si:'ber-puhnk/ (Originally coined by SF writer Bruce Bethke
and/or editor Gardner Dozois) A subgenre of SF launched in
1982 by William Gibson's epoch-making novel "Neuromancer"
(though its roots go back through Vernor Vinge's "True Names"
to John Brunner's 1975 novel "The Shockwave Rider"). Gibson's
near-total ignorance of computers and the present-day hacker
culture enabled him to speculate about the role of computers
and hackers in the future in ways hackers have since found
both irritatingly na"ive and tremendously stimulating.
Gibson's work was widely imitated, in particular by the
short-lived but innovative "Max Headroom" TV series. See
cyberspace, ice, jack in, go flatline.

Since 1990 or so, popular culture has included a movement or
fashion trend that calls itself "cyberpunk", associated
especially with the rave/techno subculture. Hackers have
mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, self-described
cyberpunks too often seem to be shallow trendoids in black
leather who have substituted enthusiastic blathering about
technology for actually learning and *doing* it. Attitude is
no substitute for competence. On the other hand, at least
cyberpunks are excited about the right things and properly
respectful of hacking talent in those who have it. The
general consensus is to tolerate them politely in hopes that
they'll attract people who grow into being true hackers.

cyberspace
(foldoc)
cyberspace

/si:'ber-spays/ 1. (Coined by William Gibson)
Notional "information-space" loaded with visual cues and
navigable with brain-computer interfaces called "cyberspace
decks"; a characteristic prop of cyberpunk SF. In 1991
serious efforts to construct virtual reality interfaces
modelled explicitly on Gibsonian cyberspace were already under
way, using more conventional devices such as glove sensors and
binocular TV headsets. Few hackers are prepared to deny
outright the possibility of a cyberspace someday evolving out
of the network (see network, the).

2. Occasionally, the metaphoric location of the mind of a
person in hack mode. Some hackers report experiencing
strong eidetic imagery when in hack mode; interestingly,
independent reports from multiple sources suggest that there
are common features to the experience. In particular, the
dominant colours of this subjective "cyberspace" are often
grey and silver, and the imagery often involves constellations
of marching dots, elaborate shifting patterns of lines and
angles, or moire patterns.
