The Slender Man (See other names to the right) is a creature or being with various nebulously defined characteristics and abilities. Slender Man was first mentioned in Something Awful Forum's "Create Paranormal Images". Slender Man generally appears (in modern times) as a tall man in a black or grey suit, red or black tie, and white shirt, with no eyes, mouth, or clearly defined facial features. It has no hair, and generally has normal-looking bare hands. Slenderman typically is depicted in imagery and literature as between 6 and 15 feet tall, depending on the situation, and in video as around 6-7 feet tall. Because of its inexact nature, and differences between series, no one has yet determined what it is.

Strong enough to face him?

These 7 computer freaks are a security breach we'd totally let happen. To us. As men. Hacker chicks have got to be the internet's greatest product. Their mix of intelligence, geekiness and sex appeal is a code nobody wants to crack, and the fact that they play with fire makes them that much hotter. So here are the hottest hacker chicks in internet history along with their stories, what they're good at and a few pics of what they look like.

Adeanna Cooke

Adeanna Cooke is one former Playboy model you don't want to mess with. That's right, a former Playmate is on this list. Boo yah!

Sure she's taken some naked pictures, but the woman has her dignity intact. A former friend of hers decided to post on the internet as her and also decided to take money for doing so. This did not sit well with her. If anyone was going to be making money off her slamming body, it was going to be her.

When she came across an unauthorized website with her face (and body) on it, she took matters into her own hands and hacked into the account herself to take them down. Bad. Ass.

After finding success in her attempts, Cooke also used her hacking gift to help out others in similar situations, becoming known as the "Hacker Fairy" to other troubled women being taken advantage of on the Internet. See a video of Cooke in action below.

She really sets the example for female hackers because she, like a lot of them, are something called "Hactivists", kind of like in the movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: they're out to be almost cyber vigilantes -- fighting against internet evil at every turn. Worst part about cyber vigilantes in this case is that we don't get the whole spandex treatment.

Click the picture for the video about Adeanna and why she can teach you things you've never even dreamed (about hacking.)

Ying Cracker

Ying Cracker is an educator from Shanghai that offends white people every time she says her full name if they think she's correcting them.

She teaches people the basics of how to start hacking; things like changing your IP address or wiping Office passwords. So it's really hacking 101, but the fact that she's awesome enough to teach it is awesome. And who doesn't want to learn how to hack from a crazy hot girl?

Although her last name is anything but inconspicuous (it's like a bank vault robber naming himself John Lock-Combination) she's a well-known name in female hacking and has the legs of a model in a flight attendant brochure.

How was she noticed? It was in a "Chinese Hottie Hackers" forum posting that got Cracker noticed by gawkers on the internet and created a huge fan base for her. Her work is impressive as well. She's an expert in hacker software writing and charges good money for courses on simple hacking tools. She also charges between RMB 500-5000 in helping other people crack software and usually makes about RMB 15,000 per month in the hacking business and for that, she deserves your respect.

Kristina Svechinskaya

Before these chicks THIS was the hottest hacker we all knew and loved.

Kristina Svechinskaya is a New York University student who was arrested on November 2, 2010 for defrauding US and British banks out of millions of dollars -- and you thought your ex was insane.

Along with eight other people, Svechinskaya hacked into thousands of bank accounts and skimmed $3 million in total. That's right. The bra you see her wearing in this picture could possibly be made of diamonds.

The group had plans to steal a total of $220 million, you know, just enough to get by. Acting as a "money mule," the Russian beauty was charged with opening at least five bank accounts which received $35,000 of the stolen money.

It's no surprise why Svechinskaya is being dubbed the "world's sexiest computer hacker." Her seductive gaze and revealing outfits can melt the firewalls off any server (that's how you say that, right?)

The New York hacker was released on $25,000 bail, though her sentence is still being pushed through the system (which means that hey, $10k in profit.)

If convicted on the plot charges and false passports charges, Svechinskaya can serve up to 40 years in prison, which would really amount to a huge h**l of a waste -- but hey, if Mila Kunis gets her Russian accent working, then she may have another Black Swan level movie to star in.

Xiao Tian

Move over male Asian nerdy computer geeks, female Asian nerdy computer geeks are here to stay.

There's a new tech group in town and God bless them, they're female and smoking hot. Oh, and dangerous.

No, "Cn (China) Girl Security Team" isn't the original name for the latest iteration of Power Rangers, it is a Chinese female hacker group that currently has 2,217 members and counting. It's headed by Xiao Tian (pictured in all her awesomely hot glory to your left), who's only 19 years old and from the looks of it, has something else going for her besides extremely good hacking skills (great fashion sense, duh.)

This kind of brings in a whole new level of suspension of disbelief in the world's events. Apparently, I was wrong my entire life because yes, they exist: super geniuses who are also dream girl status.

After this I'm going to get started on my long, thorough and sincere apology letter to Michael Bay.

Xiao Tian created the now-infamous hacking team because she felt that there was no other outlet for teenage girls like herself in the male-dominated world of hacking.

Girl power, indeed.

Ada Lovelace

No hot hackers can be saluted today without paying tribute to the original female hacker in history, Ada Lovelace. The only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron, Lovelace was known as "The Enchantress of Numbers" for her exquisite skill in mathematics. She's credited for creating the world's first computer algorithm after coming up with a method for calculating a sequence of Bernoulli numbers with the Analytic Engine (the earliest form of a computer).

Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. This girl could probably make your typewriter EXPLODE.

Here's a hot picture from her Maxim spread:

Raven Adler

One look at Raven Adler and you know she's got some edge. Sure, she's not a Playboy Playmate, but we've all learned from drunken nights and from "growing up" that any really cute goth-looking chicks are not only usually cooler than your run-of-the-mill blonde, but a LOT more exciting where it counts: on the internet.

Raven was the first woman to ever present at the DefCon's hacker conference, but she doesn't plan on using her sex to her advantage any time soon. In fact, she has expressed on many occasions her utter dislike of being cast as a "chick hacker."

She's just a "hacker." The world isn't all about looks guys. Oh wait, this list is... oh, alright. Moving on then...

Today, she continues to design, test and audit hacking detector systems for large federal agencies. She's also trained in the Shorin Ryu Matsumura discipline of martial arts. Just in case you're still not convinced she could literally destroy your entire life. Your. Entire. Life.

Here is a picture of her with a dude who looks just like Uncle Rico.

Joanna Rutkowska

Joanna Rutkowska may be referred to as a sellout in the hacker world, but she's one really hot sellout and still a completely awesome hacker to boot, so you've got to give her that.

Rutkowska is a Polish babe who specializes in developing software and tools to counter hackers in the webiverse. So she's kind of a protector of the common man against machines, Terminator style.

She's, of course, an elite hacker herself and has launched her own security services startup called Invisible Things Labs (which as far as software goes, actually isn't a bad name.) Even teaming up with the "good guys" at Microsoft, Rutkowska advised vice president of Microsoft's Security Technology Unit on tightening the security on Windows Vista (so yes, we all have something we need to forgive her for.)

But how could you say no to that face!

 

We present another list of the must hacking tools every hacker must have. These toolsmake the life of a hacker much easier and every n00b must first learn how to use these tools first.


AIRCRACK

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured.

CYGWIN

Cygwin is the next best thing to using Linux.
I personally do not use a windows box period, work, school, or other, unless I have Cygwin installed.
It's a large download, but once you get use to using it there's no turning back.
I have actually created a condensed copy that I carry around on my flash drive.
It comes complete with most Unix/Linux commands, to include the ability to compile things on the fly with gcc, perl, etc..
It has many useful things about it, but the only way to really see the extent of them is to use it yourself unless you like reading pages of technical data to help put you to sleep at night.

FYI...Last I checked it was currently managed by RedHat.

RAINBOW CRACK

RainbowCrack is a general propose implementation of Philippe Oechslin's faster time-memory trade-off technique.
In short, the RainbowCrack tool is a hash cracker. A traditional brute force cracker try all possible plaintexts one by one in cracking time. It is time consuming to break complex password in this way. The idea of time-memory trade-off is to do all cracking time mabait in advance and store the result in files so called "rainbow table". It does take a long time to precompute the tables. But once the one time mabait is finished, a time-memory trade-off cracker can be hundreds of times faster than a brute force cracker, with the help of precomputed tables.

What makes a web-designer a great web-designer?

Guts and information – and bit of talent.

All designers have to defeat the same monsters.

• Inspiration blocks;
• Lack of material, like and unvectorized logo;
• Poor quality images or their non-existence;
• Low or no budget;
• Unhelpful clients;

May I continue?
Well the good news is that you just need courage to persist and the light of information to scare those monsters away.
You got the courage. I got the Info.
Here I’ll give the info that could take you ages to find by yourself or another designer to tell (maybe because of lack of time or selfishness). I tried to cover most of the aspects that will help you in your journey, in a total of 15 aspects. Let’s start with some healthy tips for images.

Images

It is 3 AM; you are pretty tired, your stomach can’t bear another dose of caffeine and you still need that Pretty Business type picture to use in your project, but you don’t have the budget to afford a stock image from gettyimage. Been there? Well, don’t panic. You can get it in HI-RES for free from some great sites – plenty of royalty photos to share, that you can use on your personal and commercial projects, depending on the type of license.
Now you will spend until 4AM trying to decide which photo to use.

• www.sxc.hu

This is my site of choice, I’ve been using it using for years, god pretty usable navigation; lots of great quality photos, many ways to sort them.

More great sites :

• www.morguefile.com
• www.imageafter.com
• www.dreamstime.com

• flickr.com/creativecommons/

The biggest photo community site where you can also find perfect pictures for your work. You just have to check if the license is suitable to your project.

• commons.wikimedia.org

Wikimedia imagesearch in 64 categories. Also under the Creative Commons license.
Metasearch (search through several free stock photo sites): pretty useful, but you will needs registering.

• picfindr.com

At first look this site doesn’t seem that attractive, but once you try your first
search you’ll find a neatly done flash interface with photo previews, sorted by
origin.

• yotophoto.com

The interface is better looking than picfindr’s, but lacks the convenience of a flash interface.

• vecteezy.com

HUGE index of free vector files from the best designers in the world.

• brusheezy.com

From the same guys of vecteezy. Index with daily updates of photoshop brushes.

Pixel patterns

Pixel patterns are in fashion (yes, again), but wait! Not as in annoying animated gif that clutter your page background. They have come back in the form of pixel rich textures varying from clean to Victorian flowers.

• kollermedia.at
• squidfingers.com
• k10k.net

Logotypes

You’re working on project and suddenly your client tells you that you have to add several partner logos and all that you’ve got is a Business card to take the logo from.
Frustrating uh?
Well, at least until this 2 little babies came into my life. These 2 sites host vector based company logos from all around the world. So no more unexpected and unpayed hours of logo vectorization. All you need is a bit luck and the logo you need will be in their database.

• brandsoftheworld.com

I can’t say how many times this site has saved my neck with its vector logos. God save this site.

• logotypes.ru

Fonts

Now you weren’t that lucky to find that logo on www.brandsoftheworld.com and you still need it in vectors, but you can’t recognize which font it is using. (Or you are simply wondering what fonts certain corporation or ad campaign has…)

• myfonts.com

If the logo is not using avantgarde or arial, you’ve got 2 options. Use your skills as Fontographer guru or use the whathefont tool from myfonts.com: it works great! You input the URL from the desired logo or upload the scanned image. Using OCR (optical character recognition), it gives you the font the logo is using or, if not, you’ve got several similar options. This’ going to save you hours of search or the worse, having to vectorize the font… (it gives me the creeps!)

• fontshop.com

Wanting to do a web2.0 style logo, but not sure where to start? Not even sure what makes a logo look like web 2.0? Let this article guide you through some of the current style in logos, the fonts they use and the way they sort the logos by appearance.
More about what fonts famous sites logos.

• modernlifeisrubbish.co.uk

Compare fonts on screen.

• typetester.maratz.com

Now you are going to need some fonts for that logo. You can find a wide range of hi-quality free fonts on these sites. You can even find clones of commercial logos for free!

Icons

Icons are the way to spice things up on a design. Fortunately there are lots of very talented designers that are willing to share with us their tiny masterpieces.

• iconbase.com

My personal favourite repository of free icons.

• iconfinder.net

Finally someone got the idea. It was hard to look up icon by icon to see which set had the icon I needed.

• famfamfam.com

Another valuable set of mini icons.
More icon resources:

• sweetie.sublink.ca
• converticon.com
• iconfactory.com
• tango.freedesktop.org
• maxpower.ca
• websiteicons.net

Color

One of the big secrets that makes a design look great is its color scheme. You could do a great layout but if it lacks contracts and balance, it’s condemned to oblivion.

• iosart.com

I’ll present this little marvel first. Colozilla is a Firefox extension that allows you to pick colors from your browser. Saving you the hassle of taking screenshots and pick the color in photoshop.

• kuler.adobe.com

Several premade color schemes. And superb color wheel tool. You won’t believe how inspirational and useful this could be. And how this will be a excellent opportunity to try your newly added colorzilla tool

• wellstyled.com
• gmazzocato.altervista.org

Educational Material

All you need is a little discipline and patience, and you can surely achieve great results in no time. There are loads of stuff for you to learn, I am just presenting the tip of the iceberg.

• webdesignfromscratch.com

More than a tutorial, this’ a DIY (Do It Yourself) Guide to WEB 2.0 Style. It’s constantly updated. I personally love this site. The guide tells you step by step what makes a design looks web 2.0 and how to achieve it.

• w3schools.com

Inspiration

Don’t Panic! Inspiration is not only for Davinich’s or Michelangelo’s. You just need the muses to visit you. And here are some pretty gorgeous ones. Remember, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time you start a design. Just the right source of inspiration study of what makes it look, good implementation and viola: a lovely design.
