10 Langkah Instalasi Windows XP dengan USB

2008-08-13T21:16:00.000-07:00

akarta - Pembaca, saat ini, keberadaan laptop mungil tengah menawan hati sebagian besar pengguna komputer jinjing. Bagaimana tidak? Walaupun terkadang spesifikasi sebuah subnotebook tidak semumpuni notebook-notebook berukuran lebih besar, ukurannya yang mini dan kemampuannya yang dapat mengakomodasi kebutuhan berkomputer sehari-hari menjadikan subnotebook sebagai salah satu gadget yang sangat diminati, disamping harganya yang lebih terjangkau, tentu saja.

Nah, salah satu usaha produsen subnotebook untuk "merampingkan" produknya adalah dengan meniadakan perangkat optical drive, seperti CD-ROM/RW atau DVD-ROM/RW. Komponen yang digunakan untuk mengakses keping CD atau DVD ini memang cukup menyita ruang dan sumber daya.

Sebagai konsekuensinya, pemilik subnotebook tak dapat mengakses CD atau DVD di subnotebook-nya, atau terpaksa membeli external optical drive yang tetap dijalankan via port USB yang tersedia.

Salah satu masalah yang timbul akibat ketidaktersediaan optical drive pada subnotebook adalah kesulitan saat hendak melakukan instalasi aplikasi ataupun sistem operasi. Tak jarang pengguna harus menyalin aplikasi atau sistem operasi yang hendak di-install ke dalam USB flash disk, atau mencolok external optical drive dan melakukan instalasi seperti biasa. Namun, tentu saja hal ini sangat merepotkan, mengingat tak banyak pengguna awam yang mengetahui prosedur instalasi aplikasi atau sistem operasi via flash disk, dan harga sebuah external optical drive yang tidak murah.

Contoh kasus, andaikan kita hendak mengganti sistem operasi Xandros Linux yang terpasang di subnotebook Asus Eee PC dengan Windows XP, maka kita harus menginstal via external optical drive. Mungkin tak terlalu memusingkan bagi Anda yang punya cukup dana untuk membeli sebuah external optical drive, namun bagaimana dengan Anda yang sejak awal ingin berhemat dengan membeli subnotebook?

Nah, lewat artikel ini penulis ingin berbagi tips membuat modul instalasi Windows XP menggunakan media USB flash disk, yang tentunya akan menghemat biaya dan menjadikan pembaca lebih pintar. Modul instalasi ini tak hanya dapat diimplementasikan dalam instalasi ke subnotebook saja, tapi juga dapat diaplikasikan pada komputer mana pun yang sudah memiliki fitur untuk booting via USB.

"Gampang! Tinggal salin file instalasi Windows XP ke flash disk!" Mungkin itu yang terlintas di benak Anda, tapi percayalah bahwa membuat modul instalasi Windows XP tidak semudah itu. Namun jangan khawatir, karena dengan mengikuti langkah-langkah berikut, proses pembuatan modul instalasi Windows XP pun tak terlalu sulit dilakukan.

Yang Harus Disiapkan:

1. Sebuah komputer yang dilengkapi optical drive (CD atau DVD) dan port USB yang dapat bekerja dengan baik.
2. Sebuah USB flash disk berkapasitas 1 atau 2 GB.
3. CD instalasi Windows XP.
4. Aplikasi pembuat modul instalasi (USB_PREP8 dan PEtoUSB) yang dapat diunduh cuma-cuma melalui link http://www.sendspace.com/file/7n781n
5. Do'a dan keberanian!

Langkah-langkah Pembuatan:

1. Tancapkan USB flash disk ke salah satu port USB. Ingat-ingat posisi drive-nya. Apakah F:, G:, H:, dan sebagainya.

2. Saat Anda berada di posisi normal (desktop), masukkan CD instalasi Windows XP ke optical drive. Jika komputer menjalankan proses instalasi secara otomatis, batalkan saja dan tutup semua aplikasi yang tengah berjalan.

3. Unduh dan ekstrak aplikasi yang penulis berikan. Saran penulis, ekstrak seluruh isinya ke sebuah folder, semisal C:\USB.

4. Selanjutnya, buka folder di mana Anda mengekstrak aplikasi modul pembuat instalasi, kali ini kita ambil contoh C:\USB.

5. Jalankan file bernama "usb_prep8.bat" maka di layar monitor akan tampak jendela Command Prompt berisi macam-macam perintah. Jika sudah muncul tulisan "Press any key to continue," tekan sembarang tombol untuk konfirmasi.

6. Di layar akan muncul jendela PEtoUSB yang meminta Anda memformat USB flash disk Anda. Tak perlu mengubah setting apa pun, langsung klik Start untuk mulai proses format. Jawab konfirmasi sesuai kebutuhan Anda.

7. Jika sudah selesai, tutup jendela PEtoUSB (jangan menutup jendela Command Prompt yang tadi terbuka ketika Anda menjalankan usb_prep8.bat), maka di layar akan muncul opsi-opsi dari 0 hingga 5.

8. Gunakan opsi 1 untuk memilih sumber file instalasi yang nantinya akan disalin ke flash disk. Disini, tentukan di drive mana Anda menyimpan instalasi Windows XP. Pilih saja optical drive di mana sudah ada CD Windows XP di dalamnya, atau pilih folder pilihan Anda jika Anda telah menyalin file instalasi Windows XP ke folder tertentu.

9. Pilih opsi 3 untuk menentukan di mana Anda mencolok flash disk. Kalau flash disk Anda berada di drive F:, maka ketik F dan tekan ENTER. Jika drive G: maka ketik G dan tekan ENTER, begitu seterusnya berlaku untuk drive lain.

10. Selanjutnya pilih opsi 4 untuk mulai proses pembuatan modul instalasi yang nantinya akan disalin ke flash disk secara otomatis. Jawab apa pun konfirmasi yang muncul dengan Y atau YES atau OK atau bentuk persetujuan lain.

Selesai! Kini flash disk Anda telah siap digunakan untuk instalasi Windows XP! Silahkan melakukan setting pada BIOS subnotebook Anda, dan pilih Removeable Disk (atau apa pun nama lainnya) sebagai media pertama yang dijalankan saat booting.

Mengingat teknik instalasi semacam ini juga tersedia di internet, Anda juga bisa mencarinya via mesin cari. Selamat mencoba...!

2008-08-07T01:28:00.000-07:00

Jakarta - Varian virus "Mr. Coolface" yang terdeteksi sebagai W32/Smallworm.BZH menyebar lewat media Flash Disk. Smallworm.BZH menghapus file berekstensi MP3, INF dan VBS, lalu membuat file duplikat dengan icon Windows Media Player.

Berikut langkah-langkah mengatasi virus Smallworm.BZH:

1. Putuskan hubungan komputer yang akan dibersihkan dari jaringan.

2. Matikan "System Restore" selama proses pembersihan.

3. Matikan proses virus yang aktif di memori. Untuk mematikan proses virus tersebut Anda dapat menggunakan tools "Process Explorer". Silahkan download di www.sysinternals.com

4. Hapus string registry yang dibuat oleh virus. Untuk mempermudah proses penghapusan, silahkan salin script dibawah ini pada program notepad, kemudian simpan dengan nama repair.inf. Jalankan file tersebut dengan cara:

Klik kanan repair.inf
Klik install

6. Untuk pembersihan optimal dan mencegah infeksi ulang, lindungi komputer dan jaringan Anda dengan antivirus yang mampu mendeteksi dan membasmi virus ini dengan baik.

Antivirus Xp 2008 / W32/Agent.GPKB

2008-08-06T03:32:00.000-07:00

Untuk pengguna komputer awam.

Jika anda memenuhi kriteria di bawah ini :

Pengguna email.
Penggemar Angelina Jolie.
Memiliki kecenderungan sindroma Gasulik (gatal suka mengklik) [Yes], [Ok], [Next], [Finish]. [Download].
Tidak menggunakan antivirus atau menggunakan antivirus yang tidak terupdate untuk mendeteksi virus lokal dan virus mancanegara.

Harap berhati-hati jika menerima email dibawah ini (lihat gambar 1) :

Gambar 1, Email yang “menjanjikan” video polos Anjelina Jolie

Karena isi email tersebut dapat dikatakan 100 % bohong. Bukan Angelina Jolie atau Microsoft yang bohong :P, tetapi pembuat spyware tersebut yang bohong. Email tersebut menjanjikan gambar video polos Anjelina Jolie FREE alias Gratis dengan embel-embel seakan-akan email tersebut merupakan Fitur dari Microsoft MSN. Vaksincom menyarankan, JANGAN sekali-kali mengklik link tersebut. Bukan karena anda masih dibawah umur atau karena dilarang oleh agama.

Kalau anda masih tidak percaya juga dan mengklik link tersebut (seperti teknisi lab Vaksincom yang bandel2 lakukan) maka link tersebut akan membuka browser yang otomatis akan mendownload file yang membuat banyak laki-laki di dunia ini deg-degan “video-nude-anjelina.avi.exe”.

Vaksincom menyarankan, JANGAN di [save], sebaiknya cancel saja (lihat gambar 2).

Gambar 2, Jika anda terlanjur mengklik link pada email akan mengarahkan pada download file.

Tetapi kalau anda (bandel) lakukan juga save file tersebut. JANGAN dijalankan, percayalah pada team lab Vaksincom yang telah mendownload file tersebut dan terinfeksi spyware :P (tentunya pada komputer test virus).

Kalau karena satu dan lain hal, meskipun sudah di bilang JANGAN berkali-kali dan anda tetap mendownload dan menjalankan file tersebut, maka saatnya anda bermetamorfosis dari pengguna komputer awam menjadi pengguna komputer pusing ..... karena anda sudah terinfeksi virus Anjelina yang terdeteksi oleh Norman sebagai W32/Agent.GPKB. (lihat gambar 3).

Gambar 3, Norman Security Suite mendeteksi Anjelina sebagai W32/Agent.GPKB

W32/Agent.GPKB atau kita sebut saja virus Anjelina merupakan virus yang menggabungkan Spam, Spyware dan Virus :

SPAM, malware ini secara sukarela memberikan atribut [SPAM] pada Subject email (lihat Subject email di gambar 1) dengan tujuan untuk mengelabui spam server dan dapat meloloskan diri dari saringan spam. Selain itu, rangka membuat dirinya dijalankan oleh penerima email, ia menggunakan rekayasa sosial nama Angelina Jolie (belahan jiwanya Brad Pitt) sengaja diplesetkan menjadi Anjelina Jolie. Tujuannya juga untuk menghindari saringan dari antispam yang pada umumnya akan menyaring kata Angelina Jolie. Ingat kata Viagra yang sering diplesetkan menjadi V1agra.
Spyware dan Virus. Sebenarnya batas antara spyware dan virus sudah sangat tipis, walaupun secara definitif spyware adalah malware (kode jahat) yang sangat bandel jika sudah nempel pada komputer ibarat cicak basah yang lengket dan sangat sulit dilepaskan, memfokuskan pada penyerangan yang memanfaatkan browser populer seperti Internet Explorer dan Firefox. Tetapi pada beberapa aksinya malware ini tidak membutuhkan browser sehingga ia juga masuk ke dalam kategori virus.

Untuk lebih detailnya, silahkan simak analisa dari Laboratorium Virus Vaksincom yang dilakukan oleh Adang Juhar Taufik dibawah ini.

Untuk pengguna komputer pusing :

Banyak cara untuk mempromosikan sesuatu, hal ini semakin mudah dengan adanya internet maka ruang dan waktu serta jarak bukanlah suatu penghalang. Salah satu cara yang dilakukan adalah dengan memasang iklan di internet, tetapi cara ini rupanya belum cukup jitu karena tidak semua user akan mengunjungi web tersebut, bahkan menghindari iklan internet. Lalu bagaimana caranya?

Lihatlah apa yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan yang “mengklaim” menjual program dengan nama Antivirus XP 2008.

Hal ini juga dilakukan oleh salah satu perusahaan yang membuat program antivirus dan antispyware dengan nama Antivirus XP 2008 (lihat gambar 4)

Gambar 4, Website Antivirus XP 2008

Sebagai informasi Antivirus XP 2008 adalah salah software security yang “jahat” dan berpura-pura sebagai antispyware yang mengklaim dirinya sebagai Anti-Malware, Anti-Virus, Anti-Trojan, Anti-Backdoor, Anti-Worm and Anti-PornoDial.

Setelah virus tersebut aktif ia akan membuat beberapa file yang akan di jalankan setiap kali komputer di nyalakan diantaranya :

C:\Windows\services.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\lphc7nvj0e52e.exe.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp

C:\WINDOWS\system32\blphc7nvj0e52e.scr
C:\Windows\system32\pphc7nvj0e52e.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Elvina\Local Settings\Temp\.ttxx.tmp

Dimana xx=acak

Seperti yang sudah dijelaskan di atas dimana pada saat komputer terinfeksi virus, secara otomastis akan menginstalkan sebuah program antispyware dengan nama Antivirus XP 2008, dimana software ini sebenarnya merupakan sebuah program spyware yang menyamar sebagai antipsyware (maling teriak maling), dia akan membasmi spyware yang lain dan memastikan hanya dirinya saja yang aktif di komputer korban. (lihat gambar 5)

Gambar 5, "Antivirus" XP 2008 beraksi

Program ini akan terinstall di direktori C:\Program Files\rhc3nvj0e52e

Agar dirinya dapat aktif secara otomatis setiap kali pc dihidupkan, ia akan membuat beberapa string pada registry berikut:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- lphc7nvj0e52e = C:\WINDOWS\system32\lphc7nvj0e52e.exe
- services = C:\WINDOWS\services.exe
- SMrhc3nvj0e52e = C:\Program Files\rhc3nvj0e52e\rhc3nvj0e52e.exe

Ubah Screan Saver Windows dan Desktop Windows

Anjelina juga akan merubah screensaver Windows untuk menjalankan file yang berada di direktori C:\WINDOWS\system32\blphc7nvj0e52e.scr.

Selain merubah screensaver Windows, Anjelina juga akan merubah desktop windows dengan menjalankan file C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp yang berisi peringatan seperti yang terlihat pada gambar 6 dibawah ini :

Gambar 6, Pesan peringatan dari Antivirus XP 2008

Untuk merubah desktop windows tersebut, ia akan membuat string pada registry berikut :

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1757981266-1202660629-839522115-1003\Control Panel\Desktop

SCRNSAVE.EXE = C:\WINDOWS\system32\blphc7nvj0e52e.scr
ConvertedWallpaper = C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp
OriginalWallpaper = C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp
Wallpaper = C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

ConvertedWallpaper = C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp
OriginalWallpaper = C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp
SCRNSAVE.EXE = C:\WINDOWS\system32\blphc7nvj0e52e.scr
Wallpaper = C:\WINDOWS\system32\phc7nvj0e52e.bmp

Agar user sulit untuk merubah screen saver dan desktop Windows tersebut, ia akan menghilangkan tabulasi “Desktop” dan “Screen saver” pada menu “Display Properties (klik kanan desktop | klik properties) dengan membuat string pada registry berikut : (lihat gambar 7)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

NoDispBackgroundPage
NoDispScrSavPage

Gambar 7, Disable tabulasi “Desktop” dan Screen saver”

Menyebar melalui SPAM

Untuk menyebarkan dirinya ia akan memanfaatkan email dengan mengirimkan email yang seolah-olah dikirim oleh MSN (Microsoft), lihat gambar 1 di atas.

Jika text “Free Video Nude Anjelina Jolie” tersebut di klik maka secara otomatis akan membuka browser dan menggunakan fitur “Drive by Download” akan mendownload sebuah file dengan nama video-nude-anjelia.avi.exe dengan ukuran yang berbeda-beda (108 KB / 146 KB / 173 KB).

Cara membersihkan Agent.GPKB

Putuskan komputer yang akan dibersihkan dari jaringan/internet
Matikan proses virus yang aktif di memori. Untuk mematikan proses ini gunakan tools pengganti Task Manager seperti Currprocess, kemudian matikan proses yang mempunyai lokasi berikut : (lihat gambar 8)
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\lphc7nvj0e52e.exe
- C:\WINDOWS\services.exe
- C:\Program Files\rhc3nvj0e52e\rhc3nvj0e52e.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\blphc7nvj0e52e.scr
C:\Windows\system32\pphc7nvj0e52e.exe
C:\Program Files\rhc3nvj0e52e\rhc3nvj0e52e.exe

Gambar 8, Gunakan CurrProcess untuk mematikan proses virus

Hapus registry yang dibuat oleh virus. Silahkan salin script dibawah ini pada program notepad kemudian simpan dengan nama repair.inf, jalankan file tersebut dengan cara :
- Klik kanan repair.inf

Inggris - Sebuah game online memicu kontroversi. Dikutip detikINET dari Metro.co.uk, Selasa (25/3/2008), game bertajuk 'Miss Bimbo' tersebut dinilai membahayakan para gadis muda yang tak waspada.

Dalam game ini, pemain berperan sebagai sebuah karakter wanita dalam kontes kecantikan. Karakter ini harus didandani, misalnya dengan operasi payudara atau diet ketat agar bisa menang sehingga jadi karakter yang paling keren dan populer.

Tak pelak, banyak orang tua dan lembaga perlindungan anak jadi cemas gara-gara game ini. Mereka khawatir, anak-anak ingin meniru karakter yang mereka mainkan, misalnya dengan menjalani diet ketat untuk mempercantik penampilan.

Bahkan bisa jadi, mereka juga ingin meniru operasi payudara seperti karakter dalam game. Padahal hal-hal seperti ini bisa memicu gangguan kesehatan.

Namun demikian, Nicolas Jacquart, pemuda 23 tahun yang membesut game tersebut menyatakan game ini tidak berbahaya dan menyenangkan. Juga dipaparkan, operasi payudara yang ada hanyalah salah satu bagian dalam game dan kaum muda tidak disarankan mencobanya.

Meski baru dirilis, 'Miss Bimbo' langsung jadi favorit di Inggris dengan menjaring 200.000 pemain, kebanyakan berusia antara 9 sampai 16 tahun. Adapun di Perancis, game ini telah dimainkan jutaan gadis. ( fyk / dbu )

Dituduh Memfitnah, Google Earth Digugat Kota Israel

2008-02-14T19:32:00.000-08:00

Yerusalem - Masalah mengenai wilayah negara kembali jadi sengketa di layanan Google Earth. Kini, kota Kiryat Yam di Israel menggugat Google dengan tuduhan melakukan fitnah. Hal ini karena dalam layanan Google Earth, kota tersebut dinyatakan dibangun di bekas wilayah Palestina.

Menurut informasi di Google Earth, Kiryat Yam yang berlokasi di sekitar laut Mediterania ini dibangun di atas reruntuhan wilayah Ghawarina. Seperti dikutip detikINET dari Mercury News, Jumat (15/2/2008), Ghawarina adalah sebuah pedesaan Palestina di masa lalu.

Informasi tersebut dimasukkan oleh seorang dokter Palestina bernama Thameen Darby. Darby melakukan sedikitnya sepuluh postingan pada Google Earth mengenai masalah serupa. Ia menyatakan, tujuannya adalah untuk menolong orang Palestina melacak keberadaan desa-desa leluhur mereka.

Perwakilan Kiryat Yam pun membantah semua informasi tersebut dan meminta Google segera menghapusnya. Kontroversi semacam ini memang sering terjadi di layanan Google Earth. Baru-baru ini, Google Earth juga pernah jadi pembicaraan di Korea Selatan karena dianggap salah memetakan wilayah tersebut

Sun Akuisisi MySQL US$ 1 Miliar

2008-01-18T00:10:00.000-08:00

Jakarta - Sun Microsystems mengumumkan pihaknya akan segera mengakuisisi developer database open source MySQL senilai US$ 1 miliar. Dari jumlah tersebut, sebanyak US$ 800 jutanya akan dibayarkan dalam bentuk cash plus opsi senilai US$ 200 juta.

Kesepakatan perjanjian antara Sun dan MySQL, seperti dikutip detikINET dari Betanews, Jumat (18/1/2008), diperkirakan akan rampung paling cepat Maret tahun ini. Diharapkan, akuisisi tersebut bisa mendongkrak pendapatan operasional Sun untuk tahun fiskal 2010.

"Sampai saat ini, belum ada vendor platform yang semua core elemen sistem operasinya ter-assembly dengan Internet. Dengan akuisisi ini, kami akan menjadikan Sun sebagai pusat Web dan sebagai provider platform untuk Web yang berperforma tinggi," kata Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz dalam blognya.

Bagi Sun, akuisisi ini merupakan langkah positif. Akuisisi tersebut memungkinkan Sun memiliki database sendiri dan tentunya mendongkrak komunitas pengguna open source. MySQL sendiri nantinya akan terintegrasi dengan jajaran software Sun yang ada saat ini. ( dwn / dwn )

MacBook Air' Paling Tipis

2008-01-16T18:22:00.000-08:00

Ajang `The MacWorld Confrence & Expo 2008' yang digelar di San Francisco California oleh Apple Computer mencapai puncaknya setelah vendor berbasis di Cupertino itu meluncurkan produk terbarunya 'Macbook Air', sebuah ultra portable laptop yang dianggap paling tipis diseluruh dunia. CEO Apple, Steve Jobs secara demontratif menunjukan produk terbarunya dari amplop yang biasa untuk berkirim surat.

Begitu Macbook Air dikeluarkan, decak kagum para pengunjung kemudian terdengar dimana-mana.

"Ini merupakan notebook paling tipis diseluruh dunia,' ujar Jobs dengan senyum mengembang.

Klaim Jobs bukanlah tanpa alasan karena MacBook Air memiliki bentuk tertipis dengan .16 inches dari arah depan dan .76 saat dibuka.

Macbook Air berisi prosesor keluaran Intel dengan dual-core processors paling cepat dimana konsumsi catu daya lebih hemat 60 persen.

"Saat kami mengawali proyek pembuatan Macbook Air ini, kami tidak pernah menyangka akan terwujud,' ujar chief executive Intel Paul Otellini yang ikut hadir bersama Jobs.

Menurut sejumlah analis, penjualan komputer Macintosh meningkat tajam sebagai sebuah "halo effect" seiring dengan meningkatnya produk Apple lainya `iPod` dan `iPhone`.

Sejak meluncufrkan sistem operasi Leopard pada oktober 2007 silam, Apple telah mampu memasarkan 5 juta copy.

Hal yang sama diperkirakan akan dialami oleh Apple saat meluncurkan MacBook Air yang diperkirakan akan memicu penjualan `ultra-portable laptop`.

"Macbook Air tidak hanya akan bersaing dengan produk Macintosh lainya namun akan mampu menarik pengguna PC,' jelas seorang analis.

Sejumlah feature MacBook Air menurut Jobs memang diinsiprasikan oleh kesuksesan `iPods` dan `iPhone` seperti compact hard drive dan sistem touch-screen "gesture".

Oleh Apple `MacBook Air` akan dijual dengan harga 1799 dollars dimana dalam dua pekan mendatang user sudah bisa menggunakan feature notebooks seberat tiga pounds dan baterei selama lima jam ini.

PVDF Film, Smart Material untuk Sensor Beban Dinamis (2) : Contoh Aplikasi

2008-01-15T19:02:00.000-08:00

Seperti telah diterangkan pada bagian pertama, beberapa material untuk sensing element suatu sensor mekanis terus dikembangkan. Beberapa diantaranya adalah material polimer seperti misalnya PVDF (Polyvinilidene Fluoride) dan conductive rubber sebagai bahan utama sensor untuk pengukuran beban, tegangan, regangan ataupun deformasi dari suatu struktur. Khusus dalam bidang Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, dan Sport Engineering kebutuhan akan sensor yang relatif ringan serta mudah dalam penggunaannya terus berkembang. Kebutuhan akan sensor yang fleksibel juga sangat meningkat khususnya di bidang Human Engineering, Welfare Engineering serta Medical Engineering. Gambar 1 di bawah ini menggambarkan salah satu contoh kemudahan dalam menggunakan sensor beban dinamis berbasis piezo material, yang hanya dibutuhkan alat pengukur (voltmeter) dan rangkaian elektronik sederhana. Ilustrasi tersebut juga menggambarkan kondisi sensor yang relative kecil dan tipis.

Gambar 1. Penggunanaan piezoelectric sensor

Selanjutnya di bawah ini akan dikenalkan beberapa contoh aplikasi sensor beban dinamis yang berbasis PVDF film (Piezoelectric material) sebagai sensing element dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan penulis.

Impact force sensor
Impact force sensor dirancang dengan maksud untuk pengukuran beban impact (benturan) yang bervariasi mulai dari sekitar 1 Kg sampai dengan 1200 Kg dengan demensi sensor berkisar 3cm x 3cm sampai 12cm x 12cm dengan ketebalan hanya berkisar 5 mm s/d 10 mm. Dari hasil kajian penulis diperoleh bahwa impact force sensor ini layak digunakan dalam range variasi frekuensi beban impact mulai dari 0.5 Hz sampai dengan 1 KHz.

Gambar 2 dibawah menunjukkan dua tipe impact force sensor yaitu frictionless type (kiri) yang sangat fleksibel dan multi contact point type (kanan) yang mampu menerima beban lebih besar.

Gambar 2. Impact force sensor

Shoes Insole Sensor
Sensor ini dimaksudkan untuk mengukur reaksi beban dinamis dari bagian bagian telapak kaki manusia saat menapakkan kakinya di tanah. Dalam penggunaanya sensor ini dimasukkan ke sepatu sebagai insole dan dipergunakan selama pergerakan manusia, pada saat berjalan, berlari, ataupun saat meloncat. Gambar 2 dibawah menunjukkan gambar shoes insole sensor ini.

Gambar 3 Shoes insole sensor

Salah satu contoh aplikasi sensor ini digunakan dalam percobaan long jump (lompat jauh). Gambar 4 di bawah menunjukkan proses dan hasill percobaan long jump. Dari gambar tersebut akan diketahui urutan urutan penapakan atlit long jump saat berlari dan melompat, juga urutan bagian bagian telapak kaki atlit tersebut serta besar beban saat kaki menapakan di tanah. Durasi waktu saat atlit melayang diudara juga diketahui dimana pada saat tersebut sensor tidak akan mengeluarkan output.

Gambar 4 Percobaan lompat jauh dengan shoes insole sensor

Elastic Band Sensor
Sensor ini dimaksudkan untuk pengukuran beban dan deformasi yang sangat besar sekali berkisar antara -50% s/d 50%. Beberapa kegunaan sensor ini adalah untuk pengukuran kekuatan tarikan anggota badan manusia (peralatan fitness) dan juga untuk membedakan gerak anggota badan manusia saat duduk (apakah seseorang sedang bergeser, atau sedang berayun dsb). Gambar dibawah melukiskan keterangan di atas.

Gambar 5 Percobaan pengukuran tarikan tangan manusia dan arahnya

Gambar 6. Contoh penggunaan elastic band sensor untuk mengetahui pergerakan tubuh manusia

Dari sedikit uraian diatas beserta beberapa contoh contoh penggunaannya, penulis masih optimis bahwa desain sensor-sensor beban dinamis berbasis material piezoelectric ini masih sangat luas dan aplikasinyapun masih dibutuhkan dalam berbagai bidang. Saat ini penulis masih mengembangkan sensor beban dinamis untuk pengukuran beban geser murni dua demensi dan juga sensor untuk beban beban yang sangat kecil yang dikususkan untuk under water experiment, untuk mengetahui gaya gaya hempasan gelombang air.

Harga minyak tinggi

2008-01-14T20:27:00.000-08:00

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Apa yang dikhawatirkan akhirnya menjadi kenyataan. Pada perdagangan Rabu (2/1) lalu, harga minyak dunia menembus batas psikologis yang tidak dibayangkan sebelumnya yakni 100 dolar AS per barel.

Banyak kalangan termasuk Organisasi Negara-Negara Pengekspor Minyak (OPEC) menilai tingginya harga minyak tersebut bukanlah menggambarkan kondisi pasar yaitu antara pasokan dan permintaan yang sebenarnya.

Meski, mereka meyakini harga minyak yang tinggi akan terus berlanjut di masa-masa mendatang.

Keyakinan tersebut lebih dikarenakan minyak bukanlah bahan bakar yang dapat diperbarui, sehingga lama kelamaan akan habis juga.

Lalu, bisakah Indonesia mengambil manfaat dengan menarik lebih banyak investasi dengan tingginya harga minyak dunia dan semakin terbatasnya cadangan minyak?

Peneliti Lembaga Penelitian, Pendidikan, dan Penerangan Ekonomi dan Sosial (LP3ES) Pri Agung Rakhmanto mengungkapkan, harga minyak tinggi memang akan menjadi insentif bagi investor mencari lapangan-lapangan migas baru.

"Namun masalahnya, Indonesia sudah tidak banyak lagi memiliki cadangan migas. Potensi lapangan-lapangan migas baru hanya ada di daerah-daerah sulit, sehingga memiliki risiko lebih tinggi," katanya.

Catatan Departemen ESDM menunjukkan, cadangan minyak Indonesia tahun 2006 hanya tertinggal 4,39 miliar barel atau sudah merosot dibandingkan tahun 1991 yang tercatat enam miliar barel.

Misalkan saja, produksi minyak Indonesia sebesar satu juta barel per hari atau 365 juta barel per tahun, maka tingkat cadangan tersebut akan habis hanya dalam waktu 12 tahun saja.

Terbukti lagi, lanjutnya, banyak penawaran blok migas yang ditawarkan pemerintah tidak laku karena memang sudah tidak menarik lagi.

Dari 26 blok migas yang ditawarkan akhir Desember lalu, sebanyak 12 di antaranya merupakan blok yang tidak laku pada penawaran sebelumnya.

Hal senada dikemukakan Manajer Proyek Yayasan Institut Indonesia untuk Ekonomi Energi Booby A Tamaela Wattimena.

Menurut dia, pemerintah masih harus bekerja keras menghilangkan hambatan-hambatan investasi yang ada seperti ekonomi biaya tinggi agar investor mau menanamkan dananya di sektor migas.

Indonesia juga mesti bersaing di kawasan regional seperti Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, dan Laos untuk menarik investor.

Investasi Naik

Namun, bagi pemerintah, tingginya harga minyak diyakini akan semakin meningkatkan investasi migas dan juga sektor lainnya seperti pertambangan serta perkebunan.

Kenaikan harga minyak juga akan menggeser pertumbuhan ekonomi yang sebelumnya bertumpu di Pulau Jawa ke luar Jawa.

Menteri ESDM Purnomo Yusgiantoro mengatakan, pada 2008, pemerintah menargetkan investasi migas mencapai 14,4 miliar dolar AS atau naik 42,6 persen dibandingkan 2007 yang 10,1 miliar dolar AS.

Kenaikan yang cukup besar, mengingat nilai investasi tahun 2007, hanya sedikit mengalami peningkatan dibandingkan tahun 2006.

Kalau 2006, investasi migas tercatat mencapai 9,6 miliar dolar AS, maka tahun 2007 hanya naik menjadi 10,1 miliar dolar AS.

Keyakinan pemerintah dapat menaikkan investasi migas di tahun 2008 tersebut juga didukung terbitnya aturan yang membebaskan bea masuk dan pajak dalam rangka impor untuk barang eksplorasi dan eksploitasi migas pada akhir Desember lalu.

"Dengan diberlakukannya aturan itu, maka investasi migas akan semakin meningkat," kata Purnomo.

Namun, ia mengakui, pemerintah masih harus menyelesaikan beberapa persoalan untuk menarik lebih banyak investasi di sektor migas.

Di antaranya, lebih dari 90 persen merupakan lapangan migas yang sudah tua, persaingan investasi dengan negara tetangga, perizinan instansi terkait seperti pengadaan lahan dan tumpang tindih lahan, serta gangguan keamanan.

Namun, Pri Agung meminta, pemerintah tidak lagi memberikan insentif kepada para investor. Sebab, insentif yang ada sudah cukup dan malah bisa dibilang pemerintah telah mengobral insentif.

Apalagi pemberian insentif tersebut tidak berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan produksi dan cadangan. "Jangan obral insentif lagi," ujarnya.

Ia mencontohkan, sejak tahun 2000 pemerintah bahkan telah memberikan insentif pengembalian biaya operasi (cost recovery) hingga 120 persen untuk lapangan di daerah marjinal.

Pri Agung juga mengingatkan, kinerja sektor energi sangat penting bagi perekonomian Indonesia sebab selain sebagai penyedia energi bagi sektor lain, juga masih menjadi andalan penerimaan negara.

Ketergantungan perekonomian khususnya APBN terhadap kinerja sektor energi makin terasa sejak tahun 2004 seiring dengan kecenderungan tingginya harga minyak.

Namun, di saat bersamaan kinerja sektor energi justru memprihatinkan dengan adanya penurunan baik cadangan maupun produksi minyaknya.

Pri mencontohkan, pada 2007, penerimaan migas hanya mencapai Rp174 triliun atau turun Rp32 triliun dibandingkan 2006 yang Rp207 triliun.

Padahal, harga minyak Indonesia naik dari 63,86 dolar AS per barel di tahun 2006 menjadi 72,3 dolar AS per barel.

Anggota Komisi VII DPR Ramson Siagian meminta pemerintah meningkatkan produksi minyaknya agar kenaikan harga minyak memberi manfaat.

"Tingginya harga minyak harus menjadi peluang pemerintah menarik lebih banyak investasi dan selanjutnya berdampak ke produksi minyak," ujarnya.

Memang, disayangkan saat negara-negara produsen minyak seperti Timur Tengah menikmati harga minyak yang tinggi, Indonesia yang juga produsen minyak justru harus ketar-ketir dengan kenaikan harga minyak. (*)

THE FUNNY REGISTRY PROTECTION

2008-01-13T18:38:00.000-08:00

Hmm.. awal nya aku agak bingung neh.. mau buat tutorial apa lagi, -tentang cracking-... yang mau gw buat yah.. hmmm... akhirnya gw mendapatkan ide.. tentang software World Wide FTP v2.43 yang belum lama ini saya crack.. hehehe.. karena software ini menggunakan proteksi yang aneh (menurut gw seh, hehe J

)..

Tentang Target :
WorldWideFTP is a Full-Features FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Client Software. WorldWideFTP can be used to connect to an FTP server and transfer files from or to the server.

No matter if its publishing a web page, downloading demos, software, MP3 files and images or transferring high volume files over an unstable connection. WorldWideFTP does it all.

Proteksi :
- Trial 15 hari pengunaan

- Serial Number

Tools :
1. PEID 0.94
2. Ollydbg v.1.10

3 . Sedikit Logika

Evaluasi Program :

Saat pertama menjalankan program ini.. akan ada sebuah nag yang muncul yang memperingatkan bahwa waktu untuk mencoba software ini tinggal 14 hari.. dan ada tombol register, try it dan close. Pencet Register, isi sembarang nomor.. akan muncul pesan error “Invalid....” Ingat pesan error ini....

Saat mencoba klik try it, saya mulai agak curiga sama neh software... kok kagak ada tombol register didalam programnya..? L Biasanya ada di about... tapi aboutnya cuman menampilkan splash aja.... registered to: (yang merupakan kata “sakti” dalam cracking) pun gak ditemukan... aneh.. (segala keanehan akan terungkap nantinya ) Dan saat saya pertama membukanya menggunakan PEiD untuk melihat kompresor atau protektor yang mungkin ada, saya melihat jika program ini tidak menggunakan protektor apapun dan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 / 6.0. Wah, yang ginian mustinya lebih mudah di krek

.... hehehehhe....

Cracking :
Nah.. sekarang seperti biasa.... mari kita buka sopwer ini dalam olly kita J.... langsung aja search for>>all referenced text strings.... kemudian scroll ke atas untuk memastikan semua di search sama om olly kita.. kemudian klik kanan dan pilih search for... isi dengan “Invalid License Number”(seperti biasa.. kata yang muncul jika registrasi kita salah masih inget donk...hehe...

) tanpa tanda kutip... Klik OK dan kita akan ketemu ini.... Tekan enter untuk ke badan program.....

0051D366 C745 8C F47E4400 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-74],00447EF>; UNICODE "Invalid License Number"
Dan pada komputer saya... kata itu ada pada alamat 0051D366 (mungkin pada komp yang lain alamat akan berbeda, saya tidak mencoba pada komp lain karena komp saya hanya semata wayang alias cuman satu )

Saat saya pencet Analysis>>Analyse Code (Ctrl+A), saya langsung menemukan kalau si “invalid” ini dipanggil dari lompatan bersyarat di 0051D20F... dan setelah saya lihat pada alamat itu, tepat dibawah je terdapat....

0051D20F . /0F84 4B010000 JE 0051D360
0051D215 . |8D55 84 LEA EDX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-7C]
0051D218 . |8D4D C4 LEA ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-3C]
0051D21B . |C745 8C B87E4400 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-74],00447EB>; UNICODE "Thank you for Registration." ç Ini yang kita Cari
0051D222 . |C745 84 08000000 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-7C],8
0051D229 . |FF15 E8114000 CALL DWORD PTR DS:[<&MSVBVM60.__v>; MSVBVM60.__vbaVarDup
0051D22F . |8D4D 94 LEA ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-6C]
0051D232 . |8D55 A4 LEA EDX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-5C]

Hmm.. apa yang terjadi kalau saya merubah JE menjadi NOP, atau JNE?.. biar gak penasaran silahkan dicoba satu2... tapi pada tutor kali ini saya akan mencoba memasang breakpoint dulu JE 0051D360 ini.... (teken F2 pada alamat 0051D20F)... Kemudian pencet Run (F9)... saat nag muncul.. pencet register dan isi lagi dengan sembarang angka apa huruf.. serah deh....

Kemudian klik verify..... yess.. programnya break pada JE tadi.. dan kelihatannya kondisi JE terpenuhi(Z=1), sehingga si “invalid” ini mau dipanggil L

... Mmmmm, apa artinya

“X-BiteMemangKeren” salah????? Hehehehe.. ga tau neh sopwer.. X-Bite itu keren J

.... nah.. biar sopwernya tau X-BiteMemangKeren (ah.. artikelnya jadi ngacok neh, sori...sori..), Klik 2x pada Register Z (tau donk letaknya?? Di sebelah kanan atas tuh) sehingga Z=0........ Nah... kondisinya menjadi tidak terpenuhi alias si “invalid” ga jadi dipanggil... hehehe kasian deh si “invalid”.. (dan X-Bite jadi tambah keren, heheheh)....

Sesudah Z=0, langsung aja pencet F9 alias Run lagi...Nah.. Muncul deh Tengkyunya...(akhirnya X-Bite diakui keren sama neh sopwer).. OK aja... Saya langsung mengecek about lagi.. untuk melihat apakah udah Registered.. tapi tetep aja gak ada.. hmm.. saya langsung merestart program lagi (pada olly tentunya).... teken Ctrl+F2 aja....kemudian saya pencet Run(F9) lagi.....dan anehnya si nag gak muncul lagi!!!!.. well.. programnya belum saya patch tapi kok udah gak ada nag ya???? Saya langsung mencoba memajukan tanggal (ga tanggung2, gw majuin 1 taon)..dan mencoba menjalankannya (karena trial 15 hari harusnya neh proggy ga bisa jalan lagi) tapi.. programnya jalan dengan mulus bin sukses....

Well, akhirnya saya berkesimpulan program ini menulis “sesuatu”, (bisa dalam bentuk file..bisa juga registry) kedalam komputer saya yang menandakan saya sudah register... dan setelah saya cek.. tenyata terdapat pada registry.. letaknya pada..

“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\macrososft\ internetsexplsorer0431” dan dengan key string “reg” dan valuenya “Þ"... kemudian saat key ini saya hapus, nag kembali muncul (kali ini expired, karena saya tadi memajukan tanggal.. heheh) dan saat saya kembalikan (saya export sebelumnya).... program kembali berjalan mulus......

Artinya untuk mengekrek sopwer ini kita hanya perlu memasukan data reg tersebut kedalam registry tanpa harus mem-patch programnya.... Tapi jika ingin membuat patch programnya, kita hanya perlu menganti JE pada alamat 0051D20F tadi menjadi JNE atau NOP, sehingga saat kita memasukan serial bogus, program akan menulis sendiri data registrasi tadi ke registry... Good Luck..

Registered Version... Program is Cracked...

Membuat dan Menghapus Virus Autorun tanpa Antivirus

secara otomatis virus tersebut akan menyebar melalui flashdisk dan menginfeksi komputer yang kita gunakan. Untuk mengetahui komputer terkena virus autorun dapat menggunakan software iKnowPS sehingga akan terlihat frekuensi tampilan kerja komputer yang terlihat sangat sibuk.

Adapun cara menanggulangi virus tersebut yaitu dengan cara

- tekan menu Tools > Folder Options… > View > unchek Hide Protected operating system files (Recommended) > yes > OK

- sehingga secara otomatis akan terlihat tampilan file virus yang terhidden tersebut

- langkah selanjutnya yaitu dengan cara membuka dan mempelajari script coding file virus tersebut. Dan mempelajari bagian-bagian mana saja yang settingannya dirubah, terutama pada register editor (menu run > ketik regedit > OK)

- setelah itu, file tersebut dihapus/di delete dari komputer

semoga tulisan ini, bisa bermanfaat dan berguna untuk semua orang.

Why This Document?

As editor of the Jargon File and author of a few other well-known documents of similar nature, I often get email requests from enthusiastic network newbies asking (in effect) "how can I learn to be a wizardly hacker?". Back in 1996 I noticed that there didn't seem to be any other FAQs or web documents that addressed this vital question, so I started this one. A lot of hackers now consider it definitive, and I suppose that means it is. Still, I don't claim to be the exclusive authority on this topic; if you don't like what you read here, write your own.

If you are reading a snapshot of this document offline, the current version lives at http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html.

Note: there is a list of Frequently Asked Questions at the end of this document. Please read these—twice—before mailing me any questions about this document.

Numerous translations of this document are available: Arabic Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, German, Greek Hebrew, Italian Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Romanian Russian Spanish, Turkish, and Swedish.

The five-dots-in-nine-squares diagram that decorates this document is called a glider. It is a simple pattern with some surprising properties in a mathematical simulation called Life that has fascinated hackers for many years. I think it makes a good visual emblem for what hackers are like — abstract, at first a bit mysterious-seeming, but a gateway to a whole world with an intricate logic of its own. Read more about the glider emblem here.

What Is a Hacker?

The Jargon File contains a bunch of definitions of the term ‘hacker’, most having to do with technical adeptness and a delight in solving problems and overcoming limits. If you want to know how to become a hacker, though, only two are really relevant.

There is a community, a shared culture, of expert programmers and networking wizards that traces its history back through decades to the first time-sharing minicomputers and the earliest ARPAnet experiments. The members of this culture originated the term ‘hacker’. Hackers built the Internet. Hackers made the Unix operating system what it is today. Hackers run Usenet. Hackers make the World Wide Web work. If you are part of this culture, if you have contributed to it and other people in it know who you are and call you a hacker, you're a hacker.

The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture. There are people who apply the hacker attitude to other things, like electronics or music — actually, you can find it at the highest levels of any science or art. Software hackers recognize these kindred spirits elsewhere and may call them ‘hackers’ too — and some claim that the hacker nature is really independent of the particular medium the hacker works in. But in the rest of this document we will focus on the skills and attitudes of software hackers, and the traditions of the shared culture that originated the term ‘hacker’.

There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone system. Real hackers call these people ‘crackers’ and want nothing to do with them. Real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word ‘hacker’ to describe crackers; this irritates real hackers no end.

The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them.

If you want to be a hacker, keep reading. If you want to be a cracker, go read the alt.2600 newsgroup and get ready to do five to ten in the slammer after finding out you aren't as smart as you think you are. And that's all I'm going to say about crackers.

The Hacker Attitude

1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.
2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice.
3. Boredom and drudgery are evil.
4. Freedom is good.
5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.

Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in freedom and voluntary mutual help. To be accepted as a hacker, you have to behave as though you have this kind of attitude yourself. And to behave as though you have the attitude, you have to really believe the attitude.

But if you think of cultivating hacker attitudes as just a way to gain acceptance in the culture, you'll miss the point. Becoming the kind of person who believes these things is important for you — for helping you learn and keeping you motivated. As with all creative arts, the most effective way to become a master is to imitate the mind-set of masters — not just intellectually but emotionally as well.

Or, as the following modern Zen poem has it:

To follow the path:
look to the master,
follow the master,
walk with the master,
see through the master,
become the master.

So, if you want to be a hacker, repeat the following things until you believe them:

1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.

Being a hacker is lots of fun, but it's a kind of fun that takes lots of effort. The effort takes motivation. Successful athletes get their motivation from a kind of physical delight in making their bodies perform, in pushing themselves past their own physical limits. Similarly, to be a hacker you have to get a basic thrill from solving problems, sharpening your skills, and exercising your intelligence.

If you aren't the kind of person that feels this way naturally, you'll need to become one in order to make it as a hacker. Otherwise you'll find your hacking energy is sapped by distractions like sex, money, and social approval.

(You also have to develop a kind of faith in your own learning capacity — a belief that even though you may not know all of what you need to solve a problem, if you tackle just a piece of it and learn from that, you'll learn enough to solve the next piece — and so on, until you're done.)

2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice.

Creative brains are a valuable, limited resource. They shouldn't be wasted on re-inventing the wheel when there are so many fascinating new problems waiting out there.

To behave like a hacker, you have to believe that the thinking time of other hackers is precious — so much so that it's almost a moral duty for you to share information, solve problems and then give the solutions away just so other hackers can solve new problems instead of having to perpetually re-address old ones.

Note, however, that "No problem should ever have to be solved twice." does not imply that you have to consider all existing solutions sacred, or that there is only one right solution to any given problem. Often, we learn a lot about the problem that we didn't know before by studying the first cut at a solution. It's OK, and often necessary, to decide that we can do better. What's not OK is artificial technical, legal, or institutional barriers (like closed-source code) that prevent a good solution from being re-used and force people to re-invent wheels.

(You don't have to believe that you're obligated to give all your creative product away, though the hackers that do are the ones that get most respect from other hackers. It's consistent with hacker values to sell enough of it to keep you in food and rent and computers. It's fine to use your hacking skills to support a family or even get rich, as long as you don't forget your loyalty to your art and your fellow hackers while doing it.)

3. Boredom and drudgery are evil.

Hackers (and creative people in general) should never be bored or have to drudge at stupid repetitive work, because when this happens it means they aren't doing what only they can do — solve new problems. This wastefulness hurts everybody. Therefore boredom and drudgery are not just unpleasant but actually evil.

To behave like a hacker, you have to believe this enough to want to automate away the boring bits as much as possible, not just for yourself but for everybody else (especially other hackers).

(There is one apparent exception to this. Hackers will sometimes do things that may seem repetitive or boring to an observer as a mind-clearing exercise, or in order to acquire a skill or have some particular kind of experience you can't have otherwise. But this is by choice — nobody who can think should ever be forced into a situation that bores them.)

4. Freedom is good.

Hackers are naturally anti-authoritarian. Anyone who can give you orders can stop you from solving whatever problem you're being fascinated by — and, given the way authoritarian minds work, will generally find some appallingly stupid reason to do so. So the authoritarian attitude has to be fought wherever you find it, lest it smother you and other hackers.

(This isn't the same as fighting all authority. Children need to be guided and criminals restrained. A hacker may agree to accept some kinds of authority in order to get something he wants more than the time he spends following orders. But that's a limited, conscious bargain; the kind of personal surrender authoritarians want is not on offer.)

Authoritarians thrive on censorship and secrecy. And they distrust voluntary cooperation and information-sharing — they only like ‘cooperation’ that they control. So to behave like a hacker, you have to develop an instinctive hostility to censorship, secrecy, and the use of force or deception to compel responsible adults. And you have to be willing to act on that belief.

5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.

To be a hacker, you have to develop some of these attitudes. But copping an attitude alone won't make you a hacker, any more than it will make you a champion athlete or a rock star. Becoming a hacker will take intelligence, practice, dedication, and hard work.

Therefore, you have to learn to distrust attitude and respect competence of every kind. Hackers won't let posers waste their time, but they worship competence — especially competence at hacking, but competence at anything is valued. Competence at demanding skills that few can master is especially good, and competence at demanding skills that involve mental acuteness, craft, and concentration is best.

If you revere competence, you'll enjoy developing it in yourself — the hard work and dedication will become a kind of intense play rather than drudgery. That attitude is vital to becoming a hacker.

Basic Hacking Skills

1. Learn how to program.
2. Get one of the open-source Unixes and learn to use and run it.
3. Learn how to use the World Wide Web and write HTML.
4. If you don't have functional English, learn it.

The hacker attitude is vital, but skills are even more vital. Attitude is no substitute for competence, and there's a certain basic toolkit of skills which you have to have before any hacker will dream of calling you one.

This toolkit changes slowly over time as technology creates new skills and makes old ones obsolete. For example, it used to include programming in machine language, and didn't until recently involve HTML. But right now it pretty clearly includes the following:

1. Learn how to program.

This, of course, is the fundamental hacking skill. If you don't know any computer languages, I recommend starting with Python. It is cleanly designed, well documented, and relatively kind to beginners. Despite being a good first language, it is not just a toy; it is very powerful and flexible and well suited for large projects. I have written a more detailed evaluation of Python. Good tutorials are available at the Python web site.

Java is also a good language for learning to program in. It is more difficult than Python, but produces faster code than Python. I think it makes an excellent second language. (There used to be a problem with Java because it was proprietary, but Sun is remedying that and the difficuties should entirely vanish with the final code drop in early 2007.)

But be aware that you won't reach the skill level of a hacker or even merely a programmer if you only know one or two languages — you need to learn how to think about programming problems in a general way, independent of any one language. To be a real hacker, you need to get to the point where you can learn a new language in days by relating what's in the manual to what you already know. This means you should learn several very different languages.

If you get into serious programming, you will have to learn C, the core language of Unix. C++ is very closely related to C; if you know one, learning the other will not be difficult. Neither language is a good one to try learning as your first, however. And, actually, the more you can avoid programming in C the more productive you will be.

C is very efficient, and very sparing of your machine's resources. Unfortunately, C gets that efficiency by requiring you to do a lot of low-level management of resources (like memory) by hand. All that low-level code is complex and bug-prone, and will soak up huge amounts of your time on debugging. With today's machines as powerful as they are, this is usually a bad tradeoff — it's smarter to use a language that uses the machine's time less efficiently, but your time much more efficiently. Thus, Python.

Other languages of particular importance to hackers include Perl and LISP. Perl is worth learning for practical reasons; it's very widely used for active web pages and system administration, so that even if you never write Perl you should learn to read it. Many people use Perl in the way I suggest you should use Python, to avoid C programming on jobs that don't require C's machine efficiency. You will need to be able to understand their code.

LISP is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use LISP itself a lot. (You can get some beginning experience with LISP fairly easily by writing and modifying editing modes for the Emacs text editor, or Script-Fu plugins for the GIMP.)

It's best, actually, to learn all five of Python, C/C++, Java, Perl, and LISP. Besides being the most important hacking languages, they represent very different approaches to programming, and each will educate you in valuable ways.

I can't give complete instructions on how to learn to program here — it's a complex skill. But I can tell you that books and courses won't do it (many, maybe most of the best hackers are self-taught). You can learn language features — bits of knowledge — from books, but the mind-set that makes that knowledge into living skill can be learned only by practice and apprenticeship. What will do it is (a) reading code and (b) writing code.

Peter Norvig, who is one of Google's top hackers and the co-author of the most widely used textbook on AI, has written an excellent essay called Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years. His "recipe for programming success" is worth careful attention.

Learning to program is like learning to write good natural language. The best way to do it is to read some stuff written by masters of the form, write some things yourself, read a lot more, write a little more, read a lot more, write some more ... and repeat until your writing begins to develop the kind of strength and economy you see in your models.

Finding good code to read used to be hard, because there were few large programs available in source for fledgeling hackers to read and tinker with. This has changed dramatically; open-source software, programming tools, and operating systems (all built by hackers) are now widely available. Which brings me neatly to our next topic...

2. Get one of the open-source Unixes and learn to use and run it.

I'll assume you have a personal computer or can get access to one. (Take a moment to appreciate how much that means. The hacker culture originally evolved back when computers were so expensive that individuals could not own them.) The single most important step any newbie can take toward acquiring hacker skills is to get a copy of Linux or one of the BSD-Unixes or OpenSolaris, install it on a personal machine, and run it.

Yes, there are other operating systems in the world besides Unix. But they're distributed in binary — you can't read the code, and you can't modify it. Trying to learn to hack on a Microsoft Windows machine or under any other closed-source system is like trying to learn to dance while wearing a body cast.

Under Mac OS X it's possible, but only part of the system is open source — you're likely to hit a lot of walls, and you have to be careful not to develop the bad habit of depending on Apple's proprietary code. If you concentrate on the Unix under the hood you can learn some useful things.

Unix is the operating system of the Internet. While you can learn to use the Internet without knowing Unix, you can't be an Internet hacker without understanding Unix. For this reason, the hacker culture today is pretty strongly Unix-centered. (This wasn't always true, and some old-time hackers still aren't happy about it, but the symbiosis between Unix and the Internet has become strong enough that even Microsoft's muscle doesn't seem able to seriously dent it.)

So, bring up a Unix — I like Linux myself but there are other ways (and yes, you can run both Linux and Microsoft Windows on the same machine). Learn it. Run it. Tinker with it. Talk to the Internet with it. Read the code. Modify the code. You'll get better programming tools (including C, LISP, Python, and Perl) than any Microsoft operating system can dream of hosting, you'll have fun, and you'll soak up more knowledge than you realize you're learning until you look back on it as a master hacker.

For more about learning Unix, see The Loginataka. You might also want to have a look at The Art Of Unix Programming.

To get your hands on a Linux, see the Linux Online! site; you can download from there or (better idea) find a local Linux user group to help you with installation. From a new user's point of view, all Linux distributions are pretty much equivalent.

A good way to dip your toes in the water is to boot up what Linux fans call a live CD, a distribution that runs entirely off a CD without having to modify your hard disk. This will be slow, because CDs are slow, but it's a way to get a look at the possibilities without having to do anything drastic.

You can find BSD Unix help and resources at www.bsd.org.

I have written a primer on the basics of Unix and the Internet.

(Note: I don't really recommend installing either Linux or BSD as a solo project if you're a newbie. For Linux, find a local Linux user's group and ask for help.)

3. Learn how to use the World Wide Web and write HTML.

Most of the things the hacker culture has built do their work out of sight, helping run factories and offices and universities without any obvious impact on how non-hackers live. The Web is the one big exception, the huge shiny hacker toy that even politicians admit has changed the world. For this reason alone (and a lot of other good ones as well) you need to learn how to work the Web.

This doesn't just mean learning how to drive a browser (anyone can do that), but learning how to write HTML, the Web's markup language. If you don't know how to program, writing HTML will teach you some mental habits that will help you learn. So build a home page. Try to stick to XHTML, which is a cleaner language than classic HTML. (There are good beginner tutorials on the Web; here's one.)

But just having a home page isn't anywhere near good enough to make you a hacker. The Web is full of home pages. Most of them are pointless, zero-content sludge — very snazzy-looking sludge, mind you, but sludge all the same (for more on this see The HTML Hell Page).

To be worthwhile, your page must have content — it must be interesting and/or useful to other hackers. And that brings us to the next topic...

4. If you don't have functional English, learn it.

As an American and native English-speaker myself, I have previously been reluctant to suggest this, lest it be taken as a sort of cultural imperialism. But several native speakers of other languages have urged me to point out that English is the working language of the hacker culture and the Internet, and that you will need to know it to function in the hacker community.

Back around 1991 I learned that many hackers who have English as a second language use it in technical discussions even when they share a birth tongue; it was reported to me at the time that English has a richer technical vocabulary than any other language and is therefore simply a better tool for the job. For similar reasons, translations of technical books written in English are often unsatisfactory (when they get done at all).

Linus Torvalds, a Finn, comments his code in English (it apparently never occurred to him to do otherwise). His fluency in English has been an important factor in his ability to recruit a worldwide community of developers for Linux. It's an example worth following.

Being a native English-speaker does not guarantee that you have language skills good enough to function as a hacker. If your writing is semi-literate, ungrammatical, and riddled with misspellings, many hackers (including myself) will tend to ignore you. While sloppy writing does not invariably mean sloppy thinking, we've generally found the correlation to be strong — and we have no use for sloppy thinkers. If you can't yet write competently, learn to.

Status in the Hacker Culture

1. Write open-source software
2. Help test and debug open-source software
3. Publish useful information
4. Help keep the infrastructure working
5. Serve the hacker culture itself

Like most cultures without a money economy, hackerdom runs on reputation. You're trying to solve interesting problems, but how interesting they are, and whether your solutions are really good, is something that only your technical peers or superiors are normally equipped to judge.

Accordingly, when you play the hacker game, you learn to keep score primarily by what other hackers think of your skill (this is why you aren't really a hacker until other hackers consistently call you one). This fact is obscured by the image of hacking as solitary work; also by a hacker-cultural taboo (gradually decaying since the late 1990s but still potent) against admitting that ego or external validation are involved in one's motivation at all.

Specifically, hackerdom is what anthropologists call a gift culture. You gain status and reputation in it not by dominating other people, nor by being beautiful, nor by having things other people want, but rather by giving things away. Specifically, by giving away your time, your creativity, and the results of your skill.

There are basically five kinds of things you can do to be respected by hackers:

1. Write open-source software

The first (the most central and most traditional) is to write programs that other hackers think are fun or useful, and give the program sources away to the whole hacker culture to use.

(We used to call these works “free software”, but this confused too many people who weren't sure exactly what “free” was supposed to mean. Most of us now prefer the term “open-source” software).

Hackerdom's most revered demigods are people who have written large, capable programs that met a widespread need and given them away, so that now everyone uses them.

But there's a bit of a fine historical point here. While hackers have always looked up to the open-source developers among them as our community's hardest core, before the mid-1990s most hackers most of the time worked on closed source. This was still true when I wrote the first version of this HOWTO in 1996; it took the mainstreaming of open-source software after 1997 to change things. Today, "the hacker community" and "open-source developers" are two descriptions for what is essentially the same culture and population — but it is worth remembering that this was not always so.

2. Help test and debug open-source software

They also serve who stand and debug open-source software. In this imperfect world, we will inevitably spend most of our software development time in the debugging phase. That's why any open-source author who's thinking will tell you that good beta-testers (who know how to describe symptoms clearly, localize problems well, can tolerate bugs in a quickie release, and are willing to apply a few simple diagnostic routines) are worth their weight in rubies. Even one of these can make the difference between a debugging phase that's a protracted, exhausting nightmare and one that's merely a salutary nuisance.

If you're a newbie, try to find a program under development that you're interested in and be a good beta-tester. There's a natural progression from helping test programs to helping debug them to helping modify them. You'll learn a lot this way, and generate good karma with people who will help you later on.

3. Publish useful information

Another good thing is to collect and filter useful and interesting information into web pages or documents like Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists, and make those generally available.

Maintainers of major technical FAQs get almost as much respect as open-source authors.

4. Help keep the infrastructure working

The hacker culture (and the engineering development of the Internet, for that matter) is run by volunteers. There's a lot of necessary but unglamorous work that needs done to keep it going — administering mailing lists, moderating newsgroups, maintaining large software archive sites, developing RFCs and other technical standards.

People who do this sort of thing well get a lot of respect, because everybody knows these jobs are huge time sinks and not as much fun as playing with code. Doing them shows dedication.

5. Serve the hacker culture itself

Finally, you can serve and propagate the culture itself (by, for example, writing an accurate primer on how to become a hacker :-)). This is not something you'll be positioned to do until you've been around for while and become well-known for one of the first four things.

The hacker culture doesn't have leaders, exactly, but it does have culture heroes and tribal elders and historians and spokespeople. When you've been in the trenches long enough, you may grow into one of these. Beware: hackers distrust blatant ego in their tribal elders, so visibly reaching for this kind of fame is dangerous. Rather than striving for it, you have to sort of position yourself so it drops in your lap, and then be modest and gracious about your status.

The Hacker/Nerd Connection

Contrary to popular myth, you don't have to be a nerd to be a hacker. It does help, however, and many hackers are in fact nerds. Being something of a social outcast helps you stay concentrated on the really important things, like thinking and hacking.

For this reason, many hackers have adopted the label ‘geek’ as a badge of pride — it's a way of declaring their independence from normal social expectations (as well as a fondness for other things like science fiction and strategy games that often go with being a hacker). The term 'nerd' used to be used this way back in the 1990s, back when 'nerd' was a mild pejorative and 'geek' a rather harsher one; sometime after 2000 they switched places, at least in U.S. popular culture, and there is now even a significant geek-pride culture among people who aren't techies.

If you can manage to concentrate enough on hacking to be good at it and still have a life, that's fine. This is a lot easier today than it was when I was a newbie in the 1970s; mainstream culture is much friendlier to techno-nerds now. There are even growing numbers of people who realize that hackers are often high-quality lover and spouse material.

If you're attracted to hacking because you don't have a life, that's OK too — at least you won't have trouble concentrating. Maybe you'll get a life later on.

Points For Style

Again, to be a hacker, you have to enter the hacker mindset. There are some things you can do when you're not at a computer that seem to help. They're not substitutes for hacking (nothing is) but many hackers do them, and feel that they connect in some basic way with the essence of hacking.

Learn to write your native language well. Though it's a common stereotype that programmers can't write, a surprising number of hackers (including all the most accomplished ones I know of) are very able writers.
Read science fiction. Go to science fiction conventions (a good way to meet hackers and proto-hackers).
Train in a martial-arts form. The kind of mental discipline required for martial arts seems to be similar in important ways to what hackers do. The most popular forms among hackers are definitely Asian empty-hand arts such as Tae Kwon Do, various forms of Karate, Kung Fu, Aikido, or Ju Jitsu. Western fencing and Asian sword arts also have visible followings. In places where it's legal, pistol shooting has been rising in popularity since the late 1990s. The most hackerly martial arts are those which emphasize mental discipline, relaxed awareness, and control, rather than raw strength, athleticism, or physical toughness.
Study an actual meditation discipline. The perennial favorite among hackers is Zen (importantly, it is possible to benefit from Zen without acquiring a religion or discarding one you already have). Other styles may work as well, but be careful to choose one that doesn't require you to believe crazy things.
Develop an analytical ear for music. Learn to appreciate peculiar kinds of music. Learn to play some musical instrument well, or how to sing.
Develop your appreciation of puns and wordplay.

The more of these things you already do, the more likely it is that you are natural hacker material. Why these things in particular is not completely clear, but they're connected with a mix of left- and right-brain skills that seems to be important; hackers need to be able to both reason logically and step outside the apparent logic of a problem at a moment's notice.

Work as intensely as you play and play as intensely as you work. For true hackers, the boundaries between "play", "work", "science" and "art" all tend to disappear, or to merge into a high-level creative playfulness. Also, don't be content with a narrow range of skills. Though most hackers self-describe as programmers, they are very likely to be more than competent in several related skills — system administration, web design, and PC hardware troubleshooting are common ones. A hacker who's a system administrator, on the other hand, is likely to be quite skilled at script programming and web design. Hackers don't do things by halves; if they invest in a skill at all, they tend to get very good at it.

Finally, a few things not to do.

Don't use a silly, grandiose user ID or screen name.
Don't get in flame wars on Usenet (or anywhere else).
Don't call yourself a ‘cyberpunk’, and don't waste your time on anybody who does.
Don't post or email writing that's full of spelling errors and bad grammar.

The only reputation you'll make doing any of these things is as a twit. Hackers have long memories — it could take you years to live your early blunders down enough to be accepted.

The problem with screen names or handles deserves some amplification. Concealing your identity behind a handle is a juvenile and silly behavior characteristic of crackers, warez d00dz, and other lower life forms. Hackers don't do this; they're proud of what they do and want it associated with their real names. So if you have a handle, drop it. In the hacker culture it will only mark you as a loser.

Q:	How do I tell if I am already a hacker?
A:	Ask yourself the following three questions: Do you speak code, fluently? Do you identify with the goals and values of the hacker community? Has a well-established member of the hacker community ever called you a hacker? If you can answer yes to all three of these questions, you are already a hacker. No two alone are sufficient. The first test is about skills. You probably pass it if you have the minimum technical skills described earlier in this document. You blow right through it if you have had a substantial amount of code accepted by an open-source development project. The second test is about attitude. If the five principles of the hacker mindset seemed obvious to you, more like a description of the way you already live than anything novel, you are already halfway to passing it. That's the inward half; the other, outward half is the degree to which you identify with the hacker community's long-term projects. Here is an incomplete but indicative list of some of those projects: Does it matter to you that Linux improve and spread? Are you passionate about software freedom? Hostile to monopolies? Do you act on the belief that computers can be instruments of empowerment that make the world a richer and more humane place? But a note of caution is in order here. The hacker community has some specific, primarily defensive political interests — two of them are defending free-speech rights and fending off "intellectual-property" power grabs that would make open source illegal. Some of those long-term projects are civil-liberties organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the outward attitude properly includes support of them. But beyond that, most hackers view attempts to systematize the hacker attitude into an explicit political program with suspicion; we've learned, the hard way, that these attempts are divisive and distracting. If someone tries to recruit you to march on your capitol in the name of the hacker attitude, they've missed the point. The right response is probably “Shut up and show them the code.” The third test has a tricky element of recursiveness about it. I observed in the section called “What Is a Hacker?” that being a hacker is partly a matter of belonging to a particular subculture or social network with a shared history, an inside and an outside. In the far past, hackers were a much less cohesive and self-aware group than they are today. But the importance of the social-network aspect has increased over the last thirty years as the Internet has made connections with the core of the hacker subculture easier to develop and maintain. One easy behavioral index of the change is that, in this century, we have our own T-shirts. Sociologists, who study networks like those of the hacker culture under the general rubric of "invisible colleges", have noted that one characteristic of such networks is that they have gatekeepers — core members with the social authority to endorse new members into the network. Because the "invisible college" that is hacker culture is a loose and informal one, the role of gatekeeper is informal too. But one thing that all hackers understand in their bones is that not every hacker is a gatekeeper. Gatekeepers have to have a certain degree of seniority and accomplishment before they can bestow the title. How much is hard to quantify, but every hacker knows it when they see it.
Q:	Will you teach me how to hack?
A:	Since first publishing this page, I've gotten several requests a week (often several a day) from people to "teach me all about hacking". Unfortunately, I don't have the time or energy to do this; my own hacking projects, and working as an open-source advocate, take up 110% of my time. Even if I did, hacking is an attitude and skill you basically have to teach yourself. You'll find that while real hackers want to help you, they won't respect you if you beg to be spoon-fed everything they know. Learn a few things first. Show that you're trying, that you're capable of learning on your own. Then go to the hackers you meet with specific questions. If you do email a hacker asking for advice, here are two things to know up front. First, we've found that people who are lazy or careless in their writing are usually too lazy and careless in their thinking to make good hackers — so take care to spell correctly, and use good grammar and punctuation, otherwise you'll probably be ignored. Secondly, don't dare ask for a reply to an ISP account that's different from the account you're sending from; we find people who do that are usually thieves using stolen accounts, and we have no interest in rewarding or assisting thievery.
Q:	How can I get started, then?
A:	The best way for you to get started would probably be to go to a LUG (Linux user group) meeting. You can find such groups on the LDP General Linux Information Page; there is probably one near you, possibly associated with a college or university. LUG members will probably give you a Linux if you ask, and will certainly help you install one and get started.
Q:	When do you have to start? Is it too late for me to learn?
A:	Any age at which you are motivated to start is a good age. Most people seem to get interested between ages 15 and 20, but I know of exceptions in both directions.
Q:	How long will it take me to learn to hack?
A:	That depends on how talented you are and how hard you work at it. Most people who try can acquire a respectable skill set in eighteen months to two years, if they concentrate. Don't think it ends there, though; in hacking (as in many other fields) it takes about ten years to achieve mastery. And if you are a real hacker, you will spend the rest of your life learning and perfecting your craft.
Q:	Is Visual Basic a good language to start with?
A:	If you're asking this question, it almost certainly means you're thinking about trying to hack under Microsoft Windows. This is a bad idea in itself. When I compared trying to learn to hack under Windows to trying to learn to dance while wearing a body cast, I wasn't kidding. Don't go there. It's ugly, and it never stops being ugly. There is a specific problem with Visual Basic; mainly that it's not portable. Though there is a prototype open-source implementations of Visual Basic, the applicable ECMA standards don't cover more than a small set of its programming interfaces. On Windows most of its library support is proprietary to a single vendor (Microsoft); if you aren't extremely careful about which features you use — more careful than any newbie is really capable of being — you'll end up locked into only those platforms Microsoft chooses to support. If you're starting on a Unix, much better languages with better libraries are available. Python, for example. Also, like other Basics, Visual Basic is a poorly-designed language that will teach you bad programming habits. No, don't ask me to describe them in detail; that explanation would fill a book. Learn a well-designed language instead. One of those bad habits is becoming dependent on a single vendor's libraries, widgets, and development tools. In general, any language that isn't fully supported under at least Linux or one of the BSDs, and/or at least three different vendors' operating systems, is a poor one to learn to hack in.
Q:	Would you help me to crack a system, or teach me how to crack?
A:	No. Anyone who can still ask such a question after reading this FAQ is too stupid to be educable even if I had the time for tutoring. Any emailed requests of this kind that I get will be ignored or answered with extreme rudeness.
Q:	How can I get the password for someone else's account?
A:	This is cracking. Go away, idiot.
Q:	How can I break into/read/monitor someone else's email?
A:	This is cracking. Get lost, moron.
Q:	How can I steal channel op privileges on IRC?
A:	This is cracking. Begone, cretin.
Q:	I've been cracked. Will you help me fend off further attacks?
A:	No. Every time I've been asked this question so far, it's been from some poor sap running Microsoft Windows. It is not possible to effectively secure Windows systems against crack attacks; the code and architecture simply have too many flaws, which makes securing Windows like trying to bail out a boat with a sieve. The only reliable prevention starts with switching to Linux or some other operating system that is designed to at least be capable of security.
Q:	I'm having problems with my Windows software. Will you help me?
A:	Yes. Go to a DOS prompt and type "format c:". Any problems you are experiencing will cease within a few minutes.
Q:	Where can I find some real hackers to talk with?
A:	The best way is to find a Unix or Linux user's group local to you and go to their meetings (you can find links to several lists of user groups on the LDP site at ibiblio). (I used to say here that you wouldn't find any real hackers on IRC, but I'm given to understand this is changing. Apparently some real hacker communities, attached to things like GIMP and Perl, have IRC channels now.)
Q:	Can you recommend useful books about hacking-related subjects?
A:	I maintain a Linux Reading List HOWTO that you may find helpful. The Loginataka may also be interesting. For an introduction to Python, see the introductory materials on the Python site.
Q:	Do I need to be good at math to become a hacker?
A:	No. Hacking uses very little formal mathematics or arithmetic. In particular, you won't usually need trigonometry, calculus or analysis (there are exceptions to this in a handful of specific application areas like 3-D computer graphics). Knowing some formal logic and Boolean algebra is good. Some grounding in finite mathematics (including finite-set theory, combinatorics, and graph theory) can be helpful. Much more importantly: you need to be able to think logically and follow chains of exact reasoning, the way mathematicians do. While the content of most mathematics won't help you, you will need the discipline and intelligence to handle mathematics. If you lack the intelligence, there is little hope for you as a hacker; if you lack the discipline, you'd better grow it. I think a good way to find out if you have what it takes is to pick up a copy of Raymond Smullyan's book What Is The Name Of This Book?. Smullyan's playful logical conundrums are very much in the hacker spirit. Being able to solve them is a good sign; enjoying solving them is an even better one.
Q:	What language should I learn first?
A:	XHTML (the latest dialect of HTML) if you don't already know it. There are a lot of glossy, hype-intensive bad HTML books out there, and distressingly few good ones. The one I like best is HTML: The Definitive Guide. But HTML is not a full programming language. When you're ready to start programming, I would recommend starting with Python. You will hear a lot of people recommending Perl, and Perl is still more popular than Python, but it's harder to learn and (in my opinion) less well designed. C is really important, but it's also much more difficult than either Python or Perl. Don't try to learn it first. Windows users, do not settle for Visual Basic. It will teach you bad habits, and it's not portable off Windows. Avoid.
Q:	What kind of hardware do I need?
A:	It used to be that personal computers were rather underpowered and memory-poor, enough so that they placed artificial limits on a hacker's learning process. This stopped being true in the mid-1990s; any machine from an Intel 486DX50 up is more than powerful enough for development work, X, and Internet communications, and the smallest disks you can buy today are plenty big enough. The important thing in choosing a machine on which to learn is whether its hardware is Linux-compatible (or BSD-compatible, should you choose to go that route). Again, this will be true for almost all modern machines. The only real sticky areas are modems and wireless cards; some machines have Windows-specific hardware that won't work with Linux. There's a FAQ on hardware compatibility; the latest version is here.
Q:	I want to contribute. Can you help me pick a problem to work on?
A:	No, because I don't know your talents or interests. You have to be self-motivated or you won't stick, which is why having other people choose your direction almost never works. Try this. Watch the project announcements scroll by on Freshmeat for a few days. When you see one that makes you think "Cool! I'd like to work on that!", join it.
Q:	Do I need to hate and bash Microsoft?
A:	No, you don't. Not that Microsoft isn't loathsome, but there was a hacker culture long before Microsoft and there will still be one long after Microsoft is history. Any energy you spend hating Microsoft would be better spent on loving your craft. Write good code — that will bash Microsoft quite sufficiently without polluting your karma.
Q:	But won't open-source software leave programmers unable to make a living?
A:	This seems unlikely — so far, the open-source software industry seems to be creating jobs rather than taking them away. If having a program written is a net economic gain over not having it written, a programmer will get paid whether or not the program is going to be open-source after it's done. And, no matter how much "free" software gets written, there always seems to be more demand for new and customized applications. I've written more about this at the Open Source pages.
Q:	Where can I get a free Unix?
A:	If you don't have a Unix installed on your machine yet, elsewhere on this page I include pointers to where to get the most commonly used free Unix. To be a hacker you need motivation and initiative and the ability to educate yourself. Start now...

penemu telepon adalah Alexander Graham बेल अपकः बेनर?

2008-01-02T20:23:00.000-08:00

Selama ini tokoh yang dikenal sebagai penemu telepon adalah Alexander Graham Bell. Namun, sebuah buku berjudul "The Telephone Gambit: Chasing Alexander Graham Bell's Secret" karya Seth Shulman telah menjungkirbalikkan hal tersebut. Buku itu menyebut Bell telah mencuri ide Elisha Gray, sesama penemu berkebangsaan Amerika.

Buku tersebut mengungkit sebuah jurnal atau catatan penelitian Bell yang selama ini selalu berusaha disembunyikan dari publik oleh keluarga Bell hingga 1976, yang akhirnya dapat tersebar luas lantaran bantuan teknologi digital.

Jurnal tersebut memaparkan secara rinci usaha Bell dan Thomas Watson, asistennya, untuk mentransmisi suara lewat kabel secara elektromagnetik pada 1876. Setelah percobaannya gagal, Bell pergi ke kantor hak paten di Washington untuk menanyakan secara detail hak paten milik Gray.

Tak berselang lama, Bell menemukan jenis transmiter lain (prototip dari telepon)yang diyakini mirip dengan ide Gray, termasuk bagan kasar orang yang sedang berbicara di telepon.

Kecurigaan lainnya muncul tatkala di persidangan tahun 1878 untuk mengungkap penemu telepon sejati, Bell kebingungan memberikan pernyataan dan gugup ketika diminta mendemonstrasikan perangkat telepon di hadapan Elisha Gray, demikian seperti dikutip detikINET dari Softpedia, Sabtu (29/12/2007).

Sebelumnya di tahun 1860, Philipp Reis yang berkebangsaan Jerman telah menemukan sebuah piranti telepon, walaupun piranti tersebut memiliki prinsip kerja yang berbeda. Ironisnya hingga kini banyak orang yang masih menyakini bahwa Alexander Graham Bell adalah Bapak penemu telepon.

Kongres Amerika Serikat telah mengeluarkan resolusi untuk meredakan kontroversi ini dengan menyatakan bahwa penemu telepon sebenarnya adalah Antonio Meucci, warga Italia, bukan Philipp Reis, Bell ataupun Gray. ( dwn / dbu )

Situs Bencana DKI Jakarta Kena 'Bencana' Cyber

2007-11-12T00:07:00.000-08:00

Jakarta - Situs Crisis Center DKI Jakarta yang beralamat di http://crisiscenter.jakarta.go.id/ tengah kritis. Situs tersebut seakan mati dan tak bisa diakses.

Ketika disambangi detikINET, Senin (12/11/2007), situs milik pemerintah propinsi DKI Jakarta ini diketahui telah menjadi korban keusilan dedemit dunia maya.

Si pelaku menyebut dirinya 'GUITARFREAK'. Sama seperti beberapa hacker lain, ia sengaja melakukan hal ini untuk memperingatkan administrator untuk meningkatkan sistem keamanan situsnya. "Why GUITARFREAK deface this domain??? it is because of this web had bad security,so for the admin please learn more OK,,thankz for all my pRenT," tulis si pelaku.

Alhasil, konten situs tersebut kini tidak bisa diakses sama sekali. Padahal situs ini seyogyanya dihadirkan untuk memberikan informasi kepada masyarakat perihal bencana yang mengancam DKI Jakarta serta penanggulangannya.

Terlebih, beberapa wilayah di ibu kota negara kita ini mulai diancam bencana banjir. Sehingga pastinya kebutuhan informasi masyarakat terkait hal ini pun menjadi tersendat.

Belum diketahui sejak kapan situs ini tidak bisa beroperasi. Namun salah satu pembaca detikcom, Riyadi menuturkan, hal serupa pernah terjadi terhadap situs ini pada Agustus lalu.

Apa itu marketiva?

2007-10-02T02:50:00.000-07:00

Sejak jaman dahulu, manusia telah melakukan perdagangan dengan sekelilingnya untuk berbagai alasan dengan cara sistem barter. Seiring dengan perkembangnya jaman dan peradaban sistem barter ini gugur karena mempunyai banyak kelemahan sehingga ditemukan sistem – sistem pembayaran yang baru yang sampai pada akhirnya dengan menggunakan uang sebagai alat pertukaran dan pembayaran. Sistem pembayaran dengan menggunakan uang juga mempunyai kelemahan untuk bertransaksi dengan suatu negara yang memiliki jenis mata uang yang berbeda.

Kebutuhan akan nilai tukar timbul karena mata uang suatu negara biasanya tidak diterima sebagai media atau alat tukar di negara lain. Hubungan perdagangan internasional menimbulkan adanya permintaan dan penawaran terhadap beberapa mata uang. Hal ini kemudian menyebabkan perkembangan pada bursa pertukaran mata uang asing, sehingga di perlukan pengatur untuk berjuta-juta transaksi permintaan dan penawaran yang terjadi setiap hari, yang menuju pada penentu nilai tukar mata uang asing.

Sejarah pertukaran/perdagangan mata uang dapat dikatakan setua uang itu sendiri dan baru mendapat perhatian yang serius oleh banyak negara pada dekade terakhir ini. Kalau di tinjau pada dekade standar emas (1880 – pecahnya PD I), pada masa tersebut uang dijamin oleh emas murni yang merupakan standar negara tersebut. Defisit neraca pembayaran akan ditutup dengan transfer emas, hingga mengakibatkan money supply menurun dan harga di luar negeri seakan naik, sehingga hal ini akan meningkatkan ekspor sampai defisit hilang, demikian sebaliknya. Dengan demikian, nilai mata uang relatif stabil.

Sampai PD I, standarisasi emas memungkinkan tercapainya tingkat koreksi yang tinggi terhadap neraca pembayaran. Tetapi, tidak demikian pada saat peperangan, kemungkinan besar karena tumbuhnya serikat-serikat perdagangan dan perusahaan-perusahaan besar, adanya jaminan upah dan harga sehingga tidak mudah menurunkan kecenderungan tersebut, yang berdampak berkurangnya lapangan pekerjaan. Karena membengkaknya pengangguran pada awal 1930-an, standarisasi emas tidak dipakai lagi.

Setelah perang dunia selesai dan depresi ekonomi dunia pada tahun 1930 – an, dunia menginginkan suatu stabilitas ekonomi yang lebih baik. Sehingga Pada tanggal 22 Juli 1944, atas prakarsa dari Amerika Serikat, diadakan suatu konferensi Moneter Internasional yang dikenal dengan : “The Bretton Woods Conference“, yang dihadiri 44 negara. Usulan yang diajukan oleh delegasi Amerika Serikat (White Plan) menyusun rencana-rencana dasar yang disetujui.

Dalam konferensi tersebut, diciptakan suatu system pertukaran mata uang tetap yang disebut dengan “Fixed Exchange Rate System“, yang mempunyai beberapa persamaan dengan standar emas, dimana memuat ketentuan :

Tiap negara menetapkan nilai tukarnya terhadap mata uang USD;
Amerika menetapkan nilai USD terhadap emas (USD 35/ounce);
Amerika akan menjual emas dengan harga tetap kepada pemegang resmi dari mata uang USD;
Perubahan nilai tukar mata uang terhadap USD tidak boleh melebihi 1%, bila terpaksa bisa sampai max 10%.

Sejak saat itu negara – negara di dunia serta Amerika mulai tumbuh dengan pesat dan dua tahun setelah konferensi tersebut, didirikan lembaga moneter internasional & Bank Dunia yang kita kenal saat ini dengan IMF (International Monetary Fund) dan Word Bank, untuk mengawasi system tersebut.

Kemudian perubahan terjadi di Amerika, Pada periode tahun 1960-an, defisit neraca pembayaran Amerika memaksa negara tersebut melepaskan cadangan emasnya sebesar USD 18 billion karena Prancis menukarkan USD-nya dengan emas dan di lanjutkan pada periode tahun 1970-an, amerika kembali harus melepaskan cadangan emasnya sebesar USD 11 billion. Buruknya perekonomian Amerika pada waktu itu menyebabkan masyarakat dunia kurang percaya terhadap USD. Dan di negara yang memiliki mata uang yang kuat karena memiliki cadangan emas yang cukup seperti Swiss dan Jerman, mereka menukarkan USD-nya dengan mata uang mereka yaitu CHF dan MDK. Hal ini menyebabkan hutang jangka pendek yang hampir jatuh tempo di Amerika mencapai hampir dua kali cadangan emasnya.

Sistem Bretton Wood hanya mampu bertahan hampir mencapai 30 tahun, pada tanggal 15 Agustus 1971, Presiden Nixon mengumumkan perubahan system nilai tukar untuk USD dengan membiarkan nilai tukarnya mengambang (Floating Exchange Rate System), hal ini ditegaskan kembali dalam suatu konferensi di Washington pada tanggal 17-18 Desember 1971 (SMITHSONIAN CONFERENCE), dari sinilah lahirnya nilai kurs yang mengambang dan berlaku sampai dengan sekarang.

Setelah Presiden Nixon menetapkan nilai mengambang untuk mata uang USD, banyak negara yang memutuskan untuk mengambangkan nilai tukarnya, seperti : Jerman, Inggris, Belanda, bahkan Jepang dan tahun – tahun berikutnya banyak negara di dunia yang membiarkan nilai uangnya mengambang sesuai dengan mekanisme pasar, yaitu kekuatan permintaan dan penawaran.
