South African hacker history South African hacker history A brief history of computer hacking in South Africa. Note: A distinction needs to be made between a "white hat" hacker who hacks out of intellectual curiosity, and a "black hat" hacker who has ulterior motives. In recent times there has been an attempt to restore the meaning of the term hacker, which is still associated with creating code, and its secondary meaning, which has become the stuff of Hollywood legend. The term "cracker" is a better description for those who break into secured system by exploiting computer vulnerabilities. Activists are trapped by BOSS agents who
IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation DHCPv6. IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) is an experimental specification for IPv6 to achieve the address-independence at the network edge, given by network address translation (NAT) in Internet Protocol version 4. It has fewer architectural problems than traditional IPv4 NAT; it is for example stateless and preserves the reachability attributed to the end-to-end principle. However, the method still lacks solutions to translate embedding IPv6 addresses, for example in IPsec, and requires a more complex DNS setup (split-horizon DNS). One use case for IPv6-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation is multihoming for small networks; this may also be implemented
