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."

    These Uber-FP /. "hackers" are going to find their IPs banned too. So that may be another reason for these subscriber messages.

    Maybe /. should hire some white-hat hackers to destroy the FP trolls?

    I hope he didn't run out of books due to the /. before I got my order in :).
    I don't own an X-Box, but from the samples it looks like some very interesting stuff.

  4. This guy has no proper java experience by javamonk81 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I started reading the article, and the more I read, the more confused I got. Then it finally hit me. This guy has never worked with java as most of us do. Writing HelloWorld java programs for each release of JDK doesn't count as any java related experience. "Property files multiply like rabbits in a large, Java-based Web application," after reading this I realized he hasn't used Java web app (JSP/Servlet) in his life. After reading the articel I have realized that the author unknowningly brings forth the point, which says that Java allows you maximum flexibility and access to two different products, it encourages competition thus increasing the quality of the packages we use, and MICORSOFT LOCKS YOU INTO THEIR OWN PLATFORM, WHICH PROBABLY WORKS BUT IT IS NOT GUARENTEED TO BE THE BEST SOLUTION OR IMPLEMENTATION OUT THERE.
