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."

    High disregard, huh?

    Actually, I can understand this, being held in rather "high disregard" myself in some circles.

    Ah, the joys of being the "Prince of Insufficient Light"

    Recognized that maybe real security firms don't market themselves on "white hats staying ahead of the evil hackers" hype?

    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.

    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.

    "Self motivator" with "a lot of manual hability". Funny, a lot of companies value that.

    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
