Girl Hacker …

Hmmm ini terinspirasi ama postingan Mika . Hacker cewe itu emang ada, walaupun jumlahnya (jauh ??) lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan hacker cowo.

Favorit gw adalah Joanna Rutkowska. Tentang dia :

Joanna Rutkowska has been involved in computer security research for several years. She has been fascinated by the internals of operating systems since she was in primary school and started learning x86 assembler on MS-DOS. Soon after she switched to Linux world, got involved with some system and kernel programming, focusing on exploit development for both Linux and Windows x86 systems.

A couple of years ago she has gotten very interested in stealth technology as used by malware and attackers to hide their malicious actions after a successful break-in. This includes various types of rootkits, network backdoors and covert channels. She now focuses on both detecting this kind of activity and on developing and testing new offensive techniques.

Lihat yg gw bold ? Now that’s interesting ! Jadi ternyata cewe bisa punya such lethal skill, dan bukan cuma VB.NET atau PHP doang ….

Kembali berurusan dengan Pascal

Gw duluan berkenalan dengan bahasa Pascal dibandingkan dengan C. Pascal pas kelas 2 SMU, dan C menjelang akhir kelas 3 SMU. Praktis semenjak asik berurusan dengan C, gw melupakan Pascal.

Tapi belakangan ini, gw tertarik kembali buat menyentuh Pascal. Setidaknya ada 2 alasan :

1. Program Pascal relatif lebih readable daripada program C.

2. Relatif lebih cepat menulis program dalam Pascal daripada C (ini bicara development time loh, bukan execution time :p )

Jadi, apa saja yg udah gw lakukan ?

1. Menginstall Free Pascal 2.1.4 di mesin Windows gw (Linux menyusul). Mengapa bukan Turbo Pascal ? Ada 2 alasan :

• Gw gak punya license legal
• Ngapain pake compiler 16 bit jaman dulu, kalo ada yg jauh lebih modern, up to date, open source pula ? :p

gw gak punya licensenya dan buat apa pake compiler 16 bit jaman purba kalo ada yg modern & open source ?? :p

2. Build Lazarus dari source code.

3. Donlot beberapa tutorial.

Kemungkinan besar (99.9999 …. %), gw nggak bakalan pake Turbo Delphi Explorer. Kenapa ? Sebagian bisa dicek disini

• Ngga multiplatform.
• Ngga bisa install component.
• Ngga ada command line tool —> parah !

Hmmm … apa lagi yah ? Oya : so many languages to learn, yet so little time . Aaaargh !!!
