Quality of Life on the Net
It appears that I am hearing alot more lately that forums are becoming a "hostile" place. I travel the net and hear f**ktards saying things like "The mods in the <name removed> forum are a**holes." or "They won't teach me to hack." My question is, are we really that hard to get along with that the public considers us hostile? Are we actually degrading the quality of life on the net because we refuse to break laws, whether moral or legal. I ask the public a simple question, Why do you require us to step over the line for you? When we refuse why are we labeled as a**holes because we won't help you break the law just to figure out if your spouse if faithful or not?

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
Being called an a$$hole by a fscktard should not have any bearing upon ones self esteem.
As long as you're confident in yourself, why do you care what someone that wants to break the law thinks about you?A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one. -

It is not a matter of my self-esteem. It is a matter of our community coming under scrutiny yet again.Comment

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
Scrutiny from who? Fscktards that want to learn to hack? It sounds from your post that we're doing it right by not teaching them how to hack. That would seem to be a good thing.Originally posted by SarperDomain View PostA third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy.

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
Scrutiny that everyone believes that we are all law-breaking cowboys out to root every system and that it shouldn't be a big deal for us to break the law. I am not upset just perturbed at the idea that this is what the public thinks of us. We are not the criminals that cracked a certain Yahoo email account, so please don't treat us as such.Comment

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
Homeless beggars on the street ask for hand-outs. They too want other people to give them things for free. Some of them choose to provide unkind comments to those that don't give them free money. This group tends to fail to acquire their free handouts.
Caustic technology and information beggars. That is what they are.
To see, To bleed, Cannot be taught,
In turn, You're making us, Fucking hostile,
We stand alone. (Pantera)
Where is Chris when you need him? He could translate and adapt this better than me.
I guess I'll take a stab at it:
To bleed for your art, and be driven to learn about something by curiosity and wonder cannot be taught.
To beg instead, for answers makes people hostile.
In the end, the motivated, inquisitive people stand alone from the tech beggars.
There is wisdom everywhere, for those that choose to find it.Comment

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
Won't teach me to hack? I'm not sure but is that like "not teaching someone to be heterosexual?" Hacking is inbred. Hacking is the need to know, no matter what makes it tick. For the love of Pete, hacking knowledge is what the "scriptkiddies" better learn to bring to the table instead of demanding others teach them. I'm actually insulted by this thread. The only hostile place wantabe hacking beggars find themselves in is lazyfair. Get off your ars's and hack then tell what you learned from the experience!Originally posted by SarperDomain View PostLast edited by Greyhatter; October 11, 2008, 23:10.Comment

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
I've never really understood people that ask to learn how to hack. What exactly do they want to know? How to read their girlfriend's hotmail account to validate that she is cheating on them?
You gotta bring something to the table... and perhaps if those f*<ktards asked more direct questions such as "how did someone emulate the IR for the Apple Remotes on the DefCon badges?" they might be better received....
just my $.02
......if you ever see someone that asks you 'How to hack'... just hit them in the forehead 3 times while saying "STUPID-STUPID-STUPID"... turn.. and walk away.... I promise you will leave with a smile! ;)Comment

Re: Quality of Life on the Net
If someone asks a specific technical question I don't have a problem with that. Questions that show; yes you have done some work, I have no problem with. Even if the question is a little vague, I'll try and and lead them to the right place. How to hack an account is not specific it is way to general and shows no previous knowledge or experience.
People constantly expect that because something is easy for you it's therefore easy for them. They expect you to be able to impart by osmosis all your years of formal & self education as well as your experience by simply touching them on the shoulder. It just doesn't work like that. Simple is the exception, pain in the butt difficult is the rule.
If you hand them that knowledge and experience and they get in trouble then they don't have to take personal responsibility for it; because they didn't do anything for it.
xorJust because you can doesn't mean you should. This applies to making babies, hacking, and youtube videos.Comment

So far it's work, except it does have it's drawbacks.
