Slashdot Mirror
White Hat Hacker Breaks Silence
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."
Bash, Korn or Csh?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thereby driving up page hits and ad views.
I think I'm on to something here.
best patent that idea...
ooh..trolling = profit
aww..cmon, someone chime in with the profit model, and something about soviet russia, this wont be a good post w/o it...
*shrug*
High disregard, huh?
3. PROFIT!
Happy now? I feel sooooo dirty. You forgot the gratuitous cluster reference I'm all over it like a fat kid on a smartie.
perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'
"Morse's uncanny knowledge of how Manhattan is wired helps keep him one step ahead of hackers " keep in mind things have changed a lot since he devoloped his 'code' sends out a "dot dot dot - dash dash dash - dot dot dot - i'm being hacked!!! " the first bit was SOS in morese code if you didn't know Steve
"What about those [hackers] who've been sitting under the heat lamps?"
Those computer geeks will not be cold and clammy, they'll just be clammy.
Why slashdot? Why not?
he is an expert in attack/penetration testing :-D
tat tat ta
Um...was he ever in jail?
confused philosopher = donkey
donkey = six letter word
six letter word = hacker
therefore confused philosopher is a hacker.
Why slashdot? Why not?
I agree completely. Althogh, I think it would be kind of funny if they were doing it over IRC and someone took over the room.
"WhiteHat just got slapped by a dead fish"
"Fdawg is now op"
"Fdawg - Hi mom!!"
"WhiteHat was just kicked by fdawg's mom"
Some security.
It's cracker dammit...

Maybe the title should instead be "White Hat Hacker Breaks Wind"
Look forward to script kiddies among others trying to hack the broadcast to gain noteriety.
I think this will be interesting to watch too.

So is there a similar type of thing going on with hackers as there is with general employment?
White Hat Hackers
Blue Hat Hackers
Labor Union Hat Hackers
Slave Labor Hat Hackers?
(Refering to the entire "white collar" idea...)
I got nothin'.
I prefer "honky" myself.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. This is why before I hire anyone I always track down and interview several of their public school classmates to find out if they were ever thought to have stolen anything, if they were ever unpopular or made fun of (might have latent resentment).
I try to find teachers they had to find out if they were ever given detentions or didn't do their homework -- who knows why someone who used to refused to do their homework started doing their work, they could stop again at any time!
Especially, I try to discover if they were ever caught masturbating. The last thing I want to do is hire a masturbator.
No kidding.
I hang out on the cisco's firewall support board. Some guy wanted to know how to stop people via his PIX from being able to telnet into port 25 and type commands like "mail to", "helo", etc. to his mailserver. Yikes.

From USA Today: Chat with Gary about keeping your computer safe from hacking and viruses.
Yeah, I'm sure Manhattan's uber-elite white hat hacker wants to spend his time answering questions like "I can't find my email. Did a hacker take it, or does my computer just hate me?"

"Self motivator" with "a lot of manual hability". Funny, a lot of companies value that.
No sig
You underestimate the power of the dark side.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Damn, I better remove the "Guiness World Record Holder for succesfull masturbation attempts in 1 day, out of the Accomplishments section of my resume. Even though, it still would rank higher than the MCSE I have earned
If their terminal uses red text, they are definately evil black hats... but if it is green or blue then they are on the side of good and justice and are white hats.
I only look human.
My mother is a halfling and my dad is an ogre, so that makes me an Ogreling
It seems, Mr. Morse, that you've been living two lives...
