Hackers: Uncle Sam Wants You!

    Go to their site and your IP address will be recorded. From that point on they will be watching you. Just waiting for you to use strong encryption , offer a fellow hacker advice or issue an anonymous warning about them.

    You have been warned.

    The Fact that the government wats "hacktivists" to chill out only gives them more reason to do more damage. The way I figure it, if u wanted to do some mess like that to say, Taliban alligned web sites, they very well deserve it. The slipping of a nimba worm would shure as hell put some sugar in their gas tank. Under these circumstances however, I would go pester the Army, Navy, Marines, and FBI to give u a job doing what u do best. If ur gonna get lost in a sea of lies, u might as well have some fun doing it.

    If you are patriotic amercian, you would go over to white house and burn it to the ground. Its where the orders for most terrorst missions were sent from. Its where it was authorized to build terrorist organizations like Taliban.

    that was a fucking dumb comment. Who mods this shit up. Only a wannabe script kiddie would mod that shit up. God, script kiddies are bad enough but all the wannabe script kiddies are the worst. It's pathetic. Slashdot is full of morons.

    This is an important step for white-hat hackers

    Sorry, it is not. "Evil" activities are only allowed and glorified if you are in the service of the government. Being a good {shot | hacker] on the battlefield does not entitle you to [shoot people | hack systems] once you are sent home.
