一部影响美国网络安全政策的电影

In his paper, he lauded the goals of the ARPAnet but explained some risks of what he called “on-line” networks. As long as computers sat in isolated chambers, security wasn’t a problem. But once multiple users could gain access to data from unprotected locations, anyone with certain skills could hack into the network — and, once inside, roam at will, pilfering unclassified and secret files alike. Mr. Ware’s warnings went unheeded for decades, though he remained a frequent consultant. (He died in 2013, at the age of 93.)

在论文中，他赞美了ARPAnet的目标，但也解释了他所谓的“在线”网络系统中的一些危险。只要电脑是孤立的，安全就不成问题。但是一旦许多用户都可以从未经保护的地址获取信息，有些具备某些特殊能力的人就可以黑进网络，一旦他们进入网络随意漫游，就可以窃取公开或机密文件之类的东西。几十年来，威尔的警告都没有受到重视，尽管他仍然是一位经常受到资讯的顾问（他于2013年逝世，享年93岁）。

In 1980, Lawrence Lasker and Walter Parkes, former Yale classmates in their late 20s, were writing the screenplay for “WarGames.” (It would be nominated for an Oscar but would lose to Horton Foote’s “Tender Mercies.”) A hacker friend had told them about “demon-dialing,” in which a telephone modem searched for other modems by automatically dialing each phone number in an area code and letting it ring twice before proceeding to the next number. If a modem answered, it would squawk; the demon-dialing software would record the number, so the hacker could call back later. In their screenplay, this was how their hero broke into NORAD. But they wondered if this was plausible: Didn’t the military close off its computers to public telephone lines?
