Things You Didn't Know About... Computer Hacking

hackcenter  Hi all reader i am back to the blog kcenterand in this blog i can tell u the amazing things about the computer hacking that u don't know or u are not aware by reading all this u get something new.
lets move what is hacking is :-

1. Hacker originally meant “one who makes furniture with an ax.” Perhaps because of the blunt nature of that approach, the word came to mean someone who takes pleasure in an unconventional solution to a technical obstacle.

2.  Computer hacking was born in the late 1950s, when members of Mit's tech Model Club, obsessed with electric switching, began preparing punch cards to control an IBM 704 mainframe.

3. One of the club’s early programs: code that illuminated lights on the mainframe’s console, making it look like a ball was zipping from left to right, then right to left with the flip of a switch. Voilà: computer Ping-Pong!

4. By the early 1970s, hacker "Cap'n Crunch" (a.k.a. John Draper) had used a toy whistle to match the 2,600-hertz tone used by AT&T’s long-distance switching system. This gave him access to call routing (and brief access to jail).

5. Before they struck it rich, Apple founderssteve  and Steve Jobs made and sold “blue boxes,” electronic versions of Draper’s whistle.

6. That same year, six Milwaukee teens hacked into Los Alamos National Lab, which develops nuclear weapons.

7. Think your Mac is hackproof? At this year’s CanSecWest conference, security researcher Charlie Miller used a flaw in Safari to break into a MacBook in under 10 seconds.

8. Cyborgs beware: Tadayoshi Kohno at the University of Washington recently hacked into a wireless defibrillator, causing it to deliver fatal-strength jolts of electricity.

Now u see the scope and the power of the hacking and it is not kid thing .
