Is it just me or was the judge kind of soft on him...
No i think the judge's ruling was fare it made the national news here in 'the sun' plus there was no mallicious intent on the intruders part he was merely using it as a file server for warez
you may call him a warez pimp
Quote:
I don't think he knew what he was into? seems like he was just wanting to steal resources?
Agree fully with this statement he was just looking for a new home to serve warez from his DCC bot which BTW before every one says warez is wrong most stuff are usually released to p2p networks before they hit you're local #warez chan

Now I have worked for a number of years in the "weapons of mass destruction" industry, and I can assure you that it is NOT PERMITTED to store even "restricted" (the lowest classification) information on a network that is linked to the internet. These are closed systems, internal only, not even allowed to link site to site..........its all within the razor wire and they are pretty secure.
Well said any classified information should not be put on any kind of server that has web access i think because there wasnt any 'top secret' code or what have you the sentance was so lenient IMO I think that sentances that hackers crackers get are ridiculious big deal they broke in to you're system they made you look bad ha ****ing ha shouldnt be a lazy **** then should we because like 80% of system compromises are with published exploits and the 0day people are far to good to get noticed any way

A sixteen year old? I don't think so.............he found a general network server with crap security and exploited it.................I wonder if "deathserv" is some sort of anagram for sub7 Hell they caught him easily enough????????????
The hype is being allowed/encouraged to hide the incompetence IMHO.
You must also bear in mind that he was legally a juvenile when the offence was comitted?
I guess I am cynical as well as paranoid.
Cheers
IMO Deathserv was probably a mass rooter with a few published exploits that would scan ip ranges and try and exploit any service port that the targets were set to exploit like BIND SMTP Pop3 etc it isnt particulary hard to do. I started my 'hacking career' with mass './' tools and to be honest if thats the way you want to go its ****ing boring since i started teaching my self C i have not './' since because IMO coding is much more fun than 'dot slashing'
