White Hat Hacker Breaks Silence

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the lockin-it-down dept.

Flackboy Kevin writes "The nation's hackers are about to come out of their shells on Friday as one of the most notorious 'good guys' in Manhattan makes a rare-yet-cyber public appearance on USA Today's online chat. Gary Morse, Manhattan's white hat hacker and good friend of every Chief Security Officer in the financial world agreed to an online chat regarding security. Morse's uncanny knowledge of how Manhattan is wired helps keep him one step ahead of hackers and has kept him in high disregard in most hacker communities. Morse's company, Razorpoint Security Technologies does not employ hackers who've decided to come in from the cold."

    You too should be able to get handicap plates.

    Lack of brainpower is a handicap (or it should be)

    That's why so many Islamic paradises like Afghanistan and northern Nigeria demand full Sharia law!

    When a theif is caught stealing, there's no fine, no jail time, none of that nonesense! Chop, off with his hand! That'll teach him.

    As you can imagine in North Nigeria people don't get caught stealing more than twice!

    You Americans are so backwards, you let criminals walk the streets, you let women walk around with their face exposed and you allow alchohol to be legal!

    You are barbaric people.

    Here we are civilized. Women must remain fully clothed, drinking alchoholic intoxicants is strictly forbideen and thieves don't get cuaght thrice!

    If you want to join us in the glory of full civilization you must adopt the full sharia law.

    "Would you recomend free software, such as Debian or Red Hat, on the desktop?"
    This is not relevant to a discussion about security. This is an attempt to slip ideology into a technical discussion. Back away.

    I bet you would make a very nice "bottom". I'd personally want to be the first to defile and tear up your virgin rectum with my BIG BLACK COCK. Once you try Black, you'll never go back. So bend over and take it, BITCH!!!!

    Interesting read, and I don't completely disagree, but I do have a question.

    If one replaced "black hat" with "pedophile" in the above post, would the argument still hold water?

    Yes, it's I, the Flackboy. Glad to see that my piece generated so much dialogue. In the order of fairness, I should mention that I simply submitted the story to the editors - there's no conspiracy behind it's appearance, so go easy on the Slashdot staff, they made an editorial decision based on newsworthiness. Thanks to all for the compliments and criticisms.
