because nobody knew the truth. [/QUOTE]
i actually think it was all lies some of the s**t they were acusing JP of was outrageous why would the most spoken about computer security profesional in the world do what he was accused off its lies utter bull$**t
gibson has no business being in security...i've been anti-grc for a number of years (long before the XP raw-socket issues) - the guy offers what he knows about computers/networks as opinion to be interpreted as fact. and unfortunately for the followers of grc, it's more a case of the blind leading the blind than any real direction or experience.
opinions are great - opinions formed from years of experience are even better. and mr. gibson is entitled to his own - but when he makes errors, mistakes, miscalculations, in the frequency and severity that he does - and yet somehow never learns from them...some people feel the need to at least provide an alternative or clarity for those who can't see the mistakes for themselves. i would suggest being open to those clarifications, and making your own decision.
jp's problems "should" be a thing of the past - if your research lead you to an old document, then i wouldn't get too heated over it.
I too will leave it alone, after further reading on the topic, I see no proof of any of the claims made from either side. I enjoy AO, and will continue to do so.

One thing to keep in mind about this JP and Steve were out here long before the sites that attempt to discredit them were buy a number of years. I have followed both of these peoples works for a long time personally. For them was never about how many hits to their sites it was to expose the late commers BS like M$ what 1997 finally arrives and now listen to them they invented all of this. Steven whine about raw sockets he should before 1997 M$ did not even know what a TCP/IP protocol stack was, yeah they bought rights to know and Winsock and Mosaic. Do I know the truth nope but I know the works of two good programers that long ago called BS on dot com.
