lol, nuff said...

You all started out knowing nothing (like growl), and yet you flame the guy just cuz he's at the point where YOU started yourself!

i believe that you misunderstand. they didn't flame him because he doesn't know things. they flame him because he wants to be a script kiddy. he came to a security site and asked how to break security. nough said.

[s0crates]

No, your nough said means nothing at all. He came to a security site seeking knowledge about security. If it wasn't for ppl that were breaking, or trying to break security, then there would be NO SUCH THING as security! Can you grasp that?

We WANT ppl to try/break security to test how secure we are, and if you (specifically) or anyone here doesn't understand that, then I would NOT want you looking after my box... that's for sure!

Think about your words before you say them...

I wouldn't mind ppl not hacking my stuff. Saves me work.

Mr. Philosopher:
Hate to break it to you, but you could try to lay off just a bit... when someone starts a thread with the title "I am a newbie hacker...", the word "script kiddie" instantly pops into my mind. And to me, script kiddie equals poo. And something tells me many people feel the same way. When I first started out with security almost five years ago, I started to lean toward script-kiddie-land, simply because that was the easiest route. But I changed my mind when I got flamed for asking dumb questions. I just wanted to extend the same courtesy to growl. Besides, flames build character. And you could use quite a bit of character... also, you need to learn that you don't need to cuss to make a point. Just a little suggestion.

God bless,

Phire:
Point taken. I think that the vast majority of us leaned toward the "kiddie" side until we knew better. But I didn't abandon these impulses cuz I got flamed on forums, I did so cuz I learned more and grew out of the "I can *** you up buddy..." stage.

I have had my fair share of flames... but the only difference is; now I get flamed fer opinions, and then I got flamed fer dumb-as$ questions. We all know now to search a thousand pages till you get what you want, I just got a little annoyed with the asinine responses that he was getting.

I'm glad I know now that I don't have to ramble-on to get a point through!

Thank God for that. :P

Wrong. This is an anti-hacking site, althought a lot of people here are white-hats. What yiou are asking for is what crackers do, and to call you a cracker would be an insult to them. About 5-7 years ago this WAS a hacking site, but JP, rightly or wrongly changed the focus when he heard what one hacker was doing. I'll give you two hints, read and read some more. And then you may understand. This isn't a flame because everyone has been in your position (well maybe not quite) but you have to realise that trying to crack passswords is no the way to go.
