I recieved this one comment from someone- "hacking and phreaking yeah right, you don´t know **** your just a stupid kiddy that ended up here " What's to prevent a band of idiots like this (most likely THEMSELVES script kiddies) from teaming up on someone and destroying their reputation on these forums? It was a response about the first thing I posted here, about the viability of Telnet and other older progs in today's hacking practices, and if things like red boxes even work anywhere anymore. You can't learn if you don't ask, right?
