Slashdot Mirror

Given this little gem (pointed out by another below), I'm not surprised.

Here's a rather hilarious .history file that allegedly comes from one of JP's accounts.

In particular under that URL at attrition.org, be sure to take a look at:

http://www.attrition.org/negation/www/tech.01.html

It's a shell history file from an account JP had a year ago or so. It pretty much speaks for itself as far as his Unix ability and his activities.

This is not the first incident of JP shutting down something because of material on it relating to him. JP also recently (within the last week) shut down the HappyHacker IRC server which I helped maintain. This was a public server that he had no authority over, which he shut down due to people making fun of him and questioning his journalistic tactics in a public chat room. It is ridiculous that he can get away with what he's been doing lately. Check out http://www.attrition.org/ne ws/content/99-06-26.001.html for more info on the HappyHacker incident.

It's really a shame seeing a site like Packet Storm shut down. It was a really nice source of information. JP has done things like this many times before. From shutting down public IRC servers which he had no rightful adminstration access over to shutting down PS which said some things he didn't like. He has gone too far this time and I have a feeling that popular opinion about him and his buddy, Carolyn Meinel, are about to change. Carolyn Meinel. Do not trust a word she says. She, like JP, will say anything to get you to do what she wants you to. I will not go into full detail about her, but if you have not heard of her before, run far far away. (P.S. For all newbies wanting to learn about security, there will be an open wargame at www.tg0d.org and help will be provided for those who need it.) I have dealt with the two of these people for almost a year. They are frauds and don't care about anything you do. To see more about my personal exprience with meinel and JP, check out schematic.org. For more information about what happened with JP and Meinel, check out (one at a time, for the next 1 mins only) www.whereipretendtowork.com.

He wants a job in IT but he doesn't make backups of his important data?

If you'd take a second to read some of the links about this, you'd see that Harvard is destroying the on-site backups of Packet Storm Security as well.

"I was told by Leo Donnelly at Harvard, via phone, that ALL of the content AND the backups made are either destroyed, being destroyed now, or will be before I can do anything to prevent it. All 4+ GB of files in the publicly accessible directories, over 45,000 files collected and archived over the years, are gone." -- Ken Williams, from a letter at attrition.org.

Given that the Slashdot blurbs appear to be from the story submitter and may reflect a lack of understanding of the issue (like the one about Yahoo "owning" all of the GeoCities content) you'd think reading the corresponding links wouldn't be too much to ask before commenting.

Moderators: I don't beg for upping of my posts scores, but I think its important for everyone to see JP for who he is.

if you want to hear the truth about antionline, go to attrition or you can kill JP online at anti0nline (click on kill jp) .. personally I hope that real security sites like securityfocus.com kill antionline for good

thats my 2 cents
