Hacker ethic term "hack" arose from MIT lingo, as the word had long been used to describe college pranks that MIT students would regularly devise. However, Levy's hacker ethic also has often been quoted out of context and misunderstood to refer to hacking as in breaking into computers, and so many sources incorrectly imply that it is describing the ideals of white-hat hackers. However, what Levy is talking about does not necessarily have anything particular to do with computer security, but addresses broader issues. The hacker ethic was described as a "new way of life, with a philosophy, an ethic and a
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
