Bischoff noted that most hackers are malicious and would like to breach and explore computer systems all over the world. Studies verified hackers cause billions of dollars of damage and disrupt society and businesses everywhere and should be stopped. First, there is a need to analyze the aspects of the destructive and ethical hackers. Another aspect that is needed to be observed is, the psyche of the juvenile and disruptive hackers that cause the most damage due to lack of knowledge and skill. In the end, the precautions and the capital that has been invested in Internet and network protection against the destructive hackers by companies.

Howarth explained that most ethical hackers are called white hat hackers. Quittner noted hackers most known for major destruction in companies and governments are known as black hat hackers. There is one more type of hackers and they are script kiddies, which are “hackers” that depend on scripts, a chat based program, which black hats attach exploits and attacks on and post on the Internet.(2)

QuinThe type the media is most likely to report on script kiddies, they are the ones who usually get caught by bragging on chats. The average age of these script kiddies is around twelve to thirty. Most of the script kiddies that are past age eighteen only have a twelve grade education, and the most common of the script kiddies are white and male. Most of these hackers leave damage or calling cards on purpose, for recognition in their underground community, but even if they are not to leave damage, they are most likely to. They do not have the skills to find holes in programming on protection and patch them back up so no damage is done, which will cost company’s millions of dollars just to repair their information networks. Gorka Sadowski, director of emerging technologies for security systems developer NetScreen Technologies, referred to these packet kiddies. Some of these kids want to make a name for themselves, and other are in the prime of adolescence and are just saying “Screw the System”.

Black hat hackers are the most rare and elite of all the hacker groups. Most are connected with criminal activities, such as espionage. Not all hackers labeled black hat hackers are connected with criminal activities in real life. There are many out-of-date hackers considered black hat. They are the ones that are usually from the 1960’s and use the word hacker with honor and freedom. Most of these hackers do not have a negative intent they are usually programs from Stanford or MIT. They have good ethics and believe in open source and fixing flaws in programming.

Most black hat hackers are criminals and are very powerful. Political and personal revenge is a major motivating factor in becoming a true black hat hacker, but the most elite hackers go for the money. Industrial espionage is one of the best paid jobs for a hacker. A typical espionage attacks takes about three weeks and they usually pull in a million dollars a job. Black hats are good at what they do and usually don’t get caught. Around 90% of companies reported at least one attack in the last year. Three-fourths of them reported some kind of financial loss because of the attacks, and 19% reported ten or more attacks.

The stereotype for hackers is usually some kind of social misfit, which some are. (teenage hackers 1) The majority are not, hackers and script kiddies are usually so diverse in lifestyles that there is not definition. They can be rich to poor, straight A to straight D students, shy to out going, and lazy to sporty kids.

The FBI arrested the first teen hacker in 1983, and for the past twenty years, it’s become a predominantly teenage activity. (Teenage hackers 1) The media and public regard hackers as masked villains that break into systems in the middle of the night, though most hackers are normal kids in every school, neighborhood, and churches. There are no villains, just curios teens that are inclined to computers. Then they have to make a choice between giving it up or becoming a full time criminal. Almost all hackers have a sense of “ethical flexibility”. (Quinter 1) Ethical flexibility in their case is thinking what they are doing is a game, or for fun, since human contact is a bare minimum over a computer. Many more have a “Robin Hood syndrome”, which they believe what they are doing is alright and for the better of society.

With the booming Internet revolution of business, a lot of companies let security slip with a minimum with rushing to make money. They have left many holes and easily exploitable programming. Jim Cannady explains to the Henry Telecommunications and Technology partnership that there is not and will never be a completely secure system. He explained that vital information will not be safe with minimal security, it needs to be layered since no one product can protect information for long by itself.

The majorities, 60%, of all attackers are disgruntled employees, current and former, states the Computer Crime and Security Survey. Also, 94% of respondents detected a computer virus in 2001, up from 85% in 2000. This means more hackers and script kiddies are learning how to attack.

Hackers are very diverse and have their own society that most public and media do not know of. Hackers cause billions of dollars of damage each year on Internet dependent and connected companies. The battle between the ethical, white hat hackers and the destructive black hat hackers is a long war, with no end in site. The average American can become a hacker or a script kiddy; there are no requirements for becoming one, except a simple concept of computers. The cost of repair to network systems and reputations is countless. The capital poured into protection is worth it, until the software and systems are outdated.

Nature is a place used by many to reflect, reminisce, and enjoy life. People want to escape from their normal daily activities and do something that is different in their lives so they turn to nature. People go to the beach for recreational activities or to just relax and meet up with friends and family. The beach is used for sports, sun bathing, or to just play with friends. In Walt Whitman’s “On the Beach at Night Alone,” part of Leaves of Grass, Whitman speaks of a person walking on the beach. The person is just looking at the stars and thinking of the future. He is relaxing, taking a slow casual walk and taking time to just think. Shawn Hair is a painter who uses dramatic effects of light and shade to bring life to his paintings. In his painting “Spencer Beach Picnic” families are playing in the sand and just taking a walk on the beach. This painting is showing how the beach can be used in may different ways. It shows the love that the artist has for this setting as well as the beauty of it. Artists and writers use nature to show the feelings and moods of the objects in their work. The beach has many characteristics that draw people to come to the beach.

One specific environment that both artists and writers use is the beach. The beach can be very calm and can be used to just hang out for some relaxation. It’s a very convenient place to rest and enjoy life. As the temperature grows high, the sand begins to get hot, making it scorching at times. This quote shows the rising temperature of the beach, “The sand and rocks get very hot, reflecting the sun light and radiating heat. Ripples of heat waves shimmer of the surface like air above hot coals. The reflection of the sun off the sand can give you a sunburn”. This shows why the beach at times can be an uncomfortable place to be. The beach can be a comfortable place to be as well as uncomfortable on your skin. When this is the case, people use beach towels or chairs to protect their body. In “On the Beach at Night Alone” the person in the story is taking a nice stroll on the beach and taking time to think about the world. This shows how the beach can be used for a place to relax because it is calm and quiet. Artists use their painting to depict scenes of nature to show special qualities of that environment.

Painters use their paintings to depict a scene from nature. Shawn Hair uses his painting “Spencer Beach Picnic” to show a way that the beach can be used for. Figure СAТ is referring to the activities that people do on the beach. Shawn Hair feels very strong about nature and his painting that show it such as figure СAТ. Shawn paints in a special way to express his feelings,

“He paints with bold colors and strokes that relay his own enthusiasm for his subjects. The way he emphasizes his inspiration is his message to the viewer, which his paint reveals in a language, all can understand. With passion and skill he forms his impressionistic images preserving the integrity of his subject. From the tranquility of a landscape to the joy of a figure or delicacy of a flower, his masterful control of his brush conveys all”.

This shows how Hair feels about his work. It tells everybody that he wants us to see the enjoyment and fun that the beach has in it. Hair uses his bright color to show the importance of the scene depicted. Authors show their feelings of nature also in their work. They use descriptive words and actions to show us what they think of the environment.

Walt Whitman depicts nature in his poem “On the beach at Night Alone”. Whitman writes of a woman walking on the beach and thinking of the future. As the old mother sways her to and fro singing here husky song, “As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef of the universe and of the future” . He is showing how the beach can calm down a person and the beach allows them to just think. This poem shows the relaxation and calmness that the beach can present to somebody when they are using it. Whitman also says, “All lives and deaths, all of the past, present, future, This vast similitude spans them, and always has spanned”. This quote shows how the beach is a comfortable place to remember ideas from the past and think of the future. Nature can have a comparison between a work of art and literature such as the works here.

Both works here show the beach and what it is like. Both pieces show how the beach is a relaxing and comfortable place to be. Walt Whitman was influenced by nature while he was traveling to New Orleans on the Mississippi river. Here is a quote from Whitman about nature, “The Americans of all nations at any time upon the earth have probably the fullest poetical nature.

This shows what nature means to Walt as was influenced in America when he wrote his literature. Whitman writes novels by using nature to expand the point and plot of the story.

Nature is a place used by many to reflect, reminisce, and enjoy life. People want to escape from their normal daily activities and do something that is different in their lives so they turn to nature. Artists and writers use nature to show the feelings and moods of the objects in their work. The beach has many characteristics, which draw people to come to it. Nature is key to people’s work as it can be a setting or the subject of the work.
