homeless hackers
I found this artical on wired.com and found it interesting. I homless man who is a hacker and in his spare time looks for hole in company's web sites. The artical has a good view point and a lot of insitefull information about what a true hacker is. He holds true to the pricable by not accepting any money from the company's after he notifes thiem of thier problems. I would like to know what everyone else thinks about this artical. And about what the quato below.
"To such barbs, Oxblood Ruffian, a veteran of the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow, replied, "It's like dancing. Anyone can dance. But not many people can dance like Michael Jackson."
Lamo's latest move: using a back door in The New York Times' intranet to snag the home phone numbers of over 3,000 Op-Ed contributors, including Vint Cerf, Warren Beatty and Rush Limbaugh.
Although Lamo (pronounced LAHM-oh) did nothing more mischievous with the information than include himself in its roster of experts, the Times is considering pressing charges, according to spokeswoman Christine Mohan. Hacking is a federal crime, currently punishable by five years in jail.
Prison would be an ironic twist for Lamo -- it'd be the first time in years he would have a steady place to stay."
Also I would like to know why someone has not offered to hire this insitefull man.
