No... Because the guy is an idiot. That is like telling the police someone is going to try to rob a bank with a coat hanger. The guy is obviously not qualified to do anything. And his simple way of looking for this info is wrong. He isn't even smart enough to realize that the info he is looking for is probably on an individual teachers account which makes this a bit more difficult. The guy has absolutely no idea what is going on... Or no way to accomplish it.

So telling the potential target doesn't help anything. The attack will probably never happen. And fortunately asking for help isn't illegal. But, if his school gets word of him thinking about attacking he is screwed. Because in the AUP they say that using the internet is a privilege and can be taken away for any reason. Even though he has not actually broken any rules.

The only reason this pisses me off is because I have absolutely no intention to get in trouble for hacking talking about hacking or jackshit close to it. I know what I know because I spent my time doing and am done. Everything I know now I use for fun with playing games on friends on just messing around or learning more. But, I was accused of "conspiring" with a hacker for talking to a friend. I almost got my **** taken simply because I was talking to someone. I honestly think my school was trying to sniff. <Smiles for encryption>

Anyway back to my point... The guy is dumb... Everyone knows that. So leave it be... He will never get anything accomplished. He will never come close to hacking his school. And worst of all. He doesn't even know where to start looking for someone to hire. So let him die in shame on the site and drop it.
