How bnetd Developers Reverse Engineered Battle.net

battlebot writes: "O'Reilly's ONlamp.com is running an interview with the bnetd developers that goes into great detail about how exactly they reverse-engineered Battle.net. This is by the same guy who wrote the recent Salon article, though is far more technical. They talk a little bit about their legal troubles too, and even sheepishly admit that perhaps talking to a lawyer earlier in the process would have been a good idea. Has this project been successfully squashed?"

    Hackers penetrate and ravage delicate private and publicly owned computer systems, infecting them with viruses and stealing sensitive materials for their own ends. These people, they're terrorists.

    So have I. Point?

    The moderators are useless to say the least. Being modded up or down doesn't mean anything.

    And yet here you are, clearly warned by the title of the article, reading and responding to it. I hope whining about it has amused you as much as teasing you has amused me!
