在过去的四十年里，关于黑客的研究在社会科学领域得到了广泛的传播。尽管这一领域的学术研究对黑客的人际关系动态产生了丰富的见解，但相比之下，对他们创造和居住的独特生态系统的研究却很少。目前的研究旨在通过整合将黑客彼此联系起来的团体关系，对黑客的生态系统进行更全面的评估。利用12个月的存档网站污损数据，包括个人自我报告的团体隶属关系以及他们的黑客活动，该研究重建了黑客团体随时间的社会网络。调查结果显示，非法生态系统联系松散，但密集地聚集在几个中心群体周围。在整个观测期内，生态系统保持了其网络特征，没有出现结构退化的迹象。这些发现证实了对黑客社会环境的现有研究，为网站涂改者的非法生态系统提供了创新的视角，并为将犯罪行为调查扩展到群体层面奠定了基础。
Over the past four decades, research on hackers has widely propagated within the social sciences. Although this area of scholarship yields rich insight into the interpersonal dynamics of hackers, research on the unique ecosystems they create and inhabit is scant in comparison. The current study aims to offer a more complete assessment of hackers’ ecosystems by incorporating the group affiliations which link hackers to one another. Using 12 months of archived website defacement data containing individuals’ self-reported group affiliations alongside their hacking activities, the study reconstructs the social network of hacker groups over time. Findings reveal the illicit ecosystem to be loosely connected, yet densely clustered around a few central groups. The ecosystem also maintained its network features across the observation period with no sign of structural degradation. These findings corroborate extant research on the social environments of hackers, offer an innovative look into the illicit ecosystem of website defacers, and serve as a steppingstone to extend investigations of criminal behavior to the group-level.
