L0pht And The FBI

Posted by Hemos on from the say-it-ain't-so dept.

A reader recently submitted a story from The Reg concerning some questioning of l0pht ? , @stake ? , and the general business of security. The article itself is harsh, but raises some interesting points.

    Naw, G, he says, "it all adds up to a fucked up situation."

    From the early 90's hit '911 Is a Joke', indubitably.

  12. Live Like Yoda by Terminus0 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Alright look at this little dude, he's somethign like 900 years old and is one heck of a badass when it comes to using the force, and apparently a skilled swordsman too. But does he ever show it? Nope. Only when it comes down to the clutch situation does he bust out his skills.

    That is how I'd like to live. Sure I may be able to hack some 133t system, or social engineer the pants off secretaries, but why publicize it. When it is somethign important, by all means, bust out the skills and show what you are made of, but don't go bragging about it, Eventually someone will find out for themselves and you will be hailed as some sort of hidden computer god.

    Sure, I'd work in a security company, but I'd feel really useless knowing that everybody and their brother is going to be taking shots at my software/hardware, and that some dumbass admin could screw the whole thing up anyways.

    I'd rather work in education, and teach people to live like Yoda.
