Hacker & Leet & Google

(http://antbsd.twbbs.org/~ant/wordpress/?p=216, June 8th, 2006)

You may ask me what this title means? Why these three terms? What kind of relationship between them?

The first two terms on wikipedia are here: Hacker, Leet.

kuangfeng had introduced ‘Leethere. I extract below.

「M4k3 Kuangfeng.cn Y0ur |-|0m3p463!」、「女口果人爾能看日月白這段言舌」,大家能看懂這兩句話嗎?這就是Leet語言的一種體現。

Leet又叫Eleet, leetspeak, leetspeek, l33t, 31337, or 1337,有興趣的可以看看Leet在維基百禾斗上的解釋。在國內似乎還沒有見到leet的解說,只有在魔獸世界裡偶爾有提到leet。

Leet或elite,最初來源於31337 “eleet”。 據說當初一個黑客組織Dead Cow Cult使用Back Orifice連接WIN95時經常使用的一個UDP端口是31337,它對應的形象英文為「eleet」,eleet與elite同音,elite代表 精英、高手之意,在BBS和網絡遊戲中經常可以見到elite或leet這樣的文字就是這個意思。

不過Internet中的Leet現在演變為一種特殊的符號語言,這種語言形式是採用特殊的符號或字符來代替原本的字符或語言,是一種另類的文字書寫手段。因為它的特殊性,現在也衍生出許多特殊的用途:
1、通過它逃避內容的審查、關鍵字的過濾;
2、搜索引擎無法提取它的原意,也就無法通過傳統的字句搜索到你的leet語句,這樣可以避免自己的信息洩漏;
3、寫情書或者暗號標記
4、當然最特別的用途就是leet用起來很酷,可以拿來炫一炫。

If you want to know ‘Leet‘ rules well, please see here. It helps me a lot.

So, I think Leet is a kinds of hacker’ culture, but how about Google? Google have already support Leet search engine, called Google H4×0r. It’s interesting that if you talk with Leet in order to hide some sensitive informations, you *MAY* be dug out by Google H4×0r. :’(

Finally, if you are surfing with Firefox, there has a extension about Leet, named Leet Key. If you never use Firefox, you can use leet application (here) or online leet translator.

Excuse me for my poor English. I beg your revise.
