What struck me most though is that in the midst of the rant from Timothy Mullen (no stranger to hacking the hack as this story from computerworld magazine shows, was a throw-away line justifying the RIAA and MPAA's appeal to Congress to make it legal to do this! It seems the bandwagons have started rolling. Who's next to jump on?"

  1. Hack THIS! by sn00perz · · Score: -1, Troll

    My handle may not mean anything to you, but I'm well known in the l337 hax0r circles. I've started hacking in the early 80s when I aquired an old 80486 compute. Withing months I made my way into the inner circle by filling my tiny by todays hard-drive with over 3 giga-bytes of 0 day warez. Later I installed FreeBSD (liux wasnt avalible back in the 80s) and j00wned hundreds of machines woithoput ever getting caught. If RIAA even tries to follow with their threats we will takr down their entire network infrusturcture withuibng hours.The 3l337 is out there. Phear me.

    So according to your theory, Apache is unreliable and insecure because an exploit is found and therefore because of the installed base it will be vunerable for a very long time.

    And I can send you an ELF binary with a virus attached to it and say "I am Anna Kournikova, I'm naked, and I sent you this document to have your advice, so please log in as root so you can see it properly"

    Whats your point?
