*** open source
n. [common; also adj. open-source ] Term coined in March 1998 following the Mozilla release to describe software distributed in source under licenses guaranteeing anybody rights to freely use, modify, and redistribute, the code. The intent was to be able to sell the hackers' ways of doing software to industry and the mainstream by avoiding the negative connotations (to suit s) of the term free software. For discussion of the follow-on tactics and their consequences, see the Open Source Initiative site. Five years after this term was invented, in 2003, it is worth noting the huge shift in assumptions it helped bring about, if only because the hacker culture's collective memory of what went before is in some ways blurring. Hackers have so completely refocused themselves around the idea and ideal of open source that we are beginning to forget that we used to do most of our work in closed-source environments. Until the late 1990s open source was a sporadic exception that usually had to live on top of a closed-source operating system and alongside closed-source tools; entire open-source environments like Linux and the *BSD systems didn't even exist in a usable form until around 1993 and weren't taken very seriously by anyone but a pioneering few until about five years later.

internet of things (IoT)
The internet of things refers to an insecure global network of devices connected to the internet. After three decades the familiar personal computing market had been thoroughly saturated but the internet continued to expand beyond its early scope into embedded systems typically having a single dedicated purpose, such as electricity meters, thermostats, television set-top boxes and childrens toys. The ultra low cost of many of these gadgets together with the lack of any incentive to supply them with after-market security updates meant that large parts of the IoT rapidly turned into a chaotic swamp of botnets periodically pushing out DDoS attacks against flavor-of-the-week adversaries as botmasters jockeyed for control of the networks.
