Why are hackers so unusual criminals?


(Source Internet)

People always talking about hackers and the threats what those people cause for the national security. Normally the talking is turning the thing, why those people are not able to locate using the standard police methodology? The problem with the hackers is normally that those people will not hang in the shopping centers or bubs like normal criminals. Normal police methodology is meant for tracking the drug dealers, who normally operate in the streets.


The tracking the hackers is difficult because the tracker must go inside hackers residency.  Many hackers actually work from home, and that makes the tracking of them very difficult because if the hackers don't want to be tracked, and they have right financial resources, they will be very difficult to track by the net.

The problem is that those people can make series of the computers, what they can remote use, and that makes the tracking those persons very difficult. If the hacker uses series of many computers remotely before this person attacks against the target, will the tracking very difficult. But for this action, the hacker needs comrades, who will take the remotely used computers in the right places. And then the hacker can jump to those computers, and then makes the strike against the interesting target.


But this action needs resources and the problem with the other method, what is infect some computers with the virus, what opens the computer for remote use, is that the person whose computer is infected can just shut the computer because the workstation is not working correctly, and remove the virus by just re-installing the operating system. The hacker needs the trusted platform for the work. And that kind of platform, where is series of the computer located all over the world needs very much financial and social relationship for this kind of action.


In the case the hackers have got the passwords of the target system by using the sodium pentothal or stealing the password by photographing the screens, they must hide their position, even they are sitting opposite the target. The hackers can use UAV:s to surveillance the offices and those vehicles can also equip with  laser microphones to record the competitions in the office. And they might able to get the passwords in their hands.  In that case, they must route their signal around the world, because that will hide their real location.


Even if the passwords are stolen, and the target organization gets the information about it, they might use the passwords as the "honeypots", what means that every user, who uses those passwords will be tracked by IP-addresses and the "trap server" also tries to get the mac-address of the WLAN-card. Because that information might use to track the model of the device, what is used by the hackers.


If the trackers will get the mark of the WLAN-card, they might get the model of the computer, and by using the payment information, they might track those hackers. Some computers are sold very small numbers, and if the hackers are used their credit cards or fill the guarantee card, they might track by using that information.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
