Slashdot Mirror
After-School Hacking Special
securitas writes "The NY Times writes about an after-school program that teaches teenagers how to hack, attack and defend systems. There doesn't seem to have been the same uproar as the virus-creation course at the University of Calgary (see previous Slashdot thread), even though the participants in Tiger Team (the name of the program) are younger than the university students."
Can someone post the google link?
Yeah! Finally we after-schooler AD&Ders have a group nerdier than us to beat up!
Trolling is a art,
I would have loved to go to a highschool offering programs like this. It really would have given me something to do other than being a marching band dork. On the other hand, band was one giant orgy, so maybe its best that I stayed away from computers at that point in my life.
And one time... in band camp... we hacked the white house and asked GWB if he was out of TP.
didn't have any spinny flaming skulls on it, and their wasnt a single biohazard sign anywhere! :(
I severely doubt it's integrity and capability with regard to teaching me the kiddie skillz I need to get by on IRC nowadays!

The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
Timmy: Hi Susie!
Susie: Hi Timmy! Wanna go get a malted milk?
Timmy: Nah, I've got something keener to do.
Susie: What then?
Timmy: I don't think you would get it.
Susie: Come on! We're best friends, right?
Timmy: OK then. I'm gonna go home and hack.
Susie: (pause) Gosh Timmy! You shouldn't hack!
Timmy: Why not?
Susie: Hackers are theives and cost lots of folks money! They're akin to a device that breaks the lock on your house!
Timmy: Aw shucks, you're so old fashioned. I gotta go, see you tomorrow.
[ Susie walks away sadly. ]
[ The next day... ]
Teacher: Rodney?
Rodney: Here.
Teacher: Susie?
Susie (sadly): Here.
Teacher: Timmy?
[ silence ]
Teacher: Susie, do you know where Timmy is?
Susie: I sure do, Mrs. Martin. He went to jail.
[ murmurs from the classmates ]
Susie: He was downloadin' music and stuff, and he got caught. He's really in a darn pickle now.
Teacher: Class, let this be a lesson to you all. Good kids don't hack. If somebody asks you to hack, just say, "I don't hack. That's whack."
We'll soon see an ABC Afterschool Special about hacking? That'd be hilarious!

it's the nytimes like you can believe anything they say...
for their own sake I hope none of these kids or teachers has any family from, ever visited or bought a ticket to, ever browsed a website from, ever borrowed a book about, ever read an unofficial news article about or ever in any way whatsoever has had any connection to, the middle east (except for israel of course).

Tiger team.
Anyone else see visions of the football team, glee club and chess team in an ad-hoc alliance, beating the living shit out of the "tiger team"?
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Were you boys all playing the skin flute?
- There signifies location/existence. - "I fucked your mother over there."
- Their is the third-person plural posessive (along the lines of my, your, his, hers). - "They all blew their loads in your mom's skanky twat."
- They're is a contraction of "they are". - "I'd take a turn using your mom, but they're using all her available holes."
Let's put it all together now... " They're shoving their cocks in your mom over there, in the alley."Seriously, this shit isn't that fucking hard. Why don't you try paying a bit of attention to the language we've all agreed on, you fucking retard?
here you go
has more dents than your head.

Go away if you know what's good for you.

Like the time I stole the magnesium strips from the chem class and lit my dads car on fire. I said it was the chem teachers fault, but NOOOO, somehow it was MY fault. Damn system fails again.
YOU SUCK BALLS!
How does a chemestry teacher teach kids not to make bombs. How does a physics teacher teach kids not to make projectile weapons. How does a music teacher teach kids not to make rap music.

What would this interview look like with a smart/tech-savvy HR Drone?
HR Drone: "So I see you've done an after school program on hacking"
Kid: "Yes, that's correct. I am a security expert because of it."
HR Drone: "...So you're a tool"
Kid: "Well actually sir, I am trying to be a security professional."
HR Drone: "...So you're a tool"
Kid: "In this program, sir, we learned the most advanced techniques for securing today's modern computer systems."
HR Drone: "So you've mastered Windows Update?"
Kid: (blushes and stares at feet) "...yeah"
