Hacker Tapestries
Description: A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic. DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices. From a high level, a DDoS attack is like a traffic jam clogging up with highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination.
Description: Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, FORTRAN came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics, crystallography, and computational chemistry. It is a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.
Description: The terms “deep web” and “dark web” are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Deep web refers to anything on the internet that is not indexed by and, therefore, accessible via a search engine like Google. Deep web content includes anything behind a paywall or requires sign-in credentials. It also includes any content that its owners have blocked web crawlers from indexing. Medical records, fee-based content, membership websites, and confidential corporate web pages are just a few examples of what makes up the deep web. Estimates place the size of the deep web at between 96% and 99% of the internet. Only a tiny portion of the internet is accessible through a standard web browser—generally known as the “clear web”.

Description: Man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM) are a common type of cybersecurity attack that allows attackers to eavesdrop on the communication between two targets. The attack takes place in between two legitimately communicating hosts, allowing the attacker to “listen” to a conversation they should normally not be able to listen to, hence the name “man-in-the-middle.”
Description: A white hat is an ethical computer hacker, or a computer security expert, who specializes in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies that ensures the security of an organization's information systems. Ethical hacking is a term meant to imply a broader category than just penetration testing

Description: TCP port 21 — FTP (File Transfer Protocol) TCP port 22 — SSH (Secure Shell) TCP port 23 — Telnet TCP port 25 — SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) TCP and UDP port 53 — DNS (Domain Name System) TCP port 443 — HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) TCP port 110 — POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) TCP and UDP port 135 — Windows RPC TCP and UDP ports 137–139 — Windows NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Description: With the dire need for justice and accountability, and a complete lack of action from the very systems that are supposed to keep the people safe, it is comforting to know that the collective known as ANONYMOUS has returned to hold those systems accountable as well as the elites that control them. "Unfortunately, We do not trust your Corrupt Organization to carry out Justice"
Description: LimeWire was a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) platform that launched with its own client in 2000. LimeWire utilized the gnutella network and BitTorrent protocol to allow users share content by uploading and downloading content through the client. LimeWire offered both a free version and a paid enhanced version called LimeWire Pro, which, somewhat ironically, could be acquired through the regular LimeWire software as paid users shared their copies of Pro with the platform. LimeWire had a solid ten-year run before a lawsuit back by music industry heavyweights resulted in the company, and it's software client, being shut down in 2010.
Description: This cool design for computer hackers/programmers shows an earth globe with partial outlines of the landmasses of the Americas, Europe and Africa plus a graticule. In the center it reads "hack the planet" in capital letters surrounded by some secret code. Do you love to hack computer code and break things? Can you determine which program is the origin of the binary dump? Hint it is from a large open source project. Show the planet that you are a hacker. Great for work, tech conferences and events.

Description: NCSA Mosaic, or simply Mosaic, is the web browser that popularized the World Wide Web and the Internet. It was also a client for earlier internet protocols such as File Transfer Protocol, Network News Transfer Protocol, and Gopher. The browser was named for its support of multiple internet protocols. Mosaic was also the first browser to display images inline with text instead of displaying them in a separate window and while it is often described as the first graphical web browser, though it was preceded by WorldWideWeb, the lesser-known Erwise, and ViolaWWW.
Description: If you’re old enough to remember BonziBuddy, you may recall that he was one of the web's early virtual assistants (think Clippy, but for browsing the web). BonziBuddy's virtual desktop assistant featured an on-screen avatar of a talking purple gorilla that could interact with its users and run simple utility services like text-to-speech and finding online shopping deals. Released in 1999, the application was actually pretty impressive for the time, and garnered notoriety for its early forays into what we now know as targeted advertising. This early personalizing of ad content was more akin to spyware, adware, and scareware than anything, so it's not surprising that the developer faced several lawsuits and fines from the FTC.
