Real Hackers Speak, Reveal Easy-to-Target Companies
September 5, 2000 (TOKYO) -- A hacker can tell at just a single glance whether or not a company's computer network will be easy to break into -- that's the conclusion to be drawn from a face-to-face interview in which Nikkei Communications magazine brought together two real hackers familiar with the darker side of the Internet business.



During the interview, which focused on the theme of easy-to-target Web sites, the hackers reveal some of the motives and methods of the hacker community.

Hi Tenchusatsu; Before the end of the year, DDR DIMM machines are going to be widely available, and your statement about DDR signal integrity issues is going to look silly. I will remind you of it, because I expect a lot more from you.

Did you even bother to read the voluminous documentation on DDR signalling? Since it's an industry group promoting DDR, there is plenty of public information about it, complete with worst case data, oscilloscope images and simulation results. Unlike Rambus, the companies doing DDR are very experienced in this industry. They are responsible for most of the memory and chipsets currently shipping. That's a hell of a lot of companies, and a hell of a lot of engineers. (Note that VIA took a lot of Intel's market share over the PC133 issue.) Why do you think they don't know what they're doing?

Next thing, you're probably going to go off on how AMD can't make processors (or motherboards) and now memory architectures that work right. Okay. Where's the Intel 1.13GHz Pentium? Where's the SDRAM memory converter for the i820? AMD is executing beautifully, and so is VIA, but there are several dozen other companies that are betting hard that DDR will run beautifully.

P.S. So you want to get educated? Start reading:

Yes it is funny! I guess their DDR PC's do not need any flexibility or perhaps they will be used as game machines. <G>

Playstation only has 2 RDRAM's to solder into the board.
I wonder how many DDR chips they are going to have to solder.
