[citation][nom]mianmian[/nom]China is clearing most of the personal website with more restrictions. This "hacker training" site could be one of them. To my opinion, most of the free members are just normal people who are interested in hacking knowledge. What I am not sure is if the law of US allows a site teaches hacking knowledge. It is interesting.[/citation]
In my grad school for information technology...I was taught how to do alot of "hacking" but it wasn't so we could hack...it was so that we understood what and why it was happening and how to implement better security. So learning how to "hack" isn't always a bad thing ~wink~
 
[citation][nom]wiglyworm[/nom]... I feel that when the public (public meaning people who think FOX news is the all knowing god)...[/citation]
Wait, are you saying FOX news is the only non-liberal news station in existence? haha!

I used to do real black hat stuff when I was younger then I remember them passing some laws about cyber terrorism and I stopped cold.... I really never did anything too horrid (well maybe a hundred thousand people with out internet for a few hours, but that part was not anticipated.....) I remember hand coding packets with fake headers spoofed mac and spoof source ip. Honestly if you asked me to do this stuff today it would take me months to get back up to speed. But at least I know how most of it still works so its really useful in the end...
 
This just ridiculous. I don't how people can let this happen. No, I'm not talking about the hacking. This article is about two paragraphs long and still wasn't proofread.

"Users were provider with cyber attack lessons"

C'mon, Jane. It took me 15 seconds to read the article. I'm sure it could have taken the same amount of time to proofread it once. :)
 
[citation][nom]mlopinto2k1[/nom]Doesn't it say in the Bible nations will be crushed by Asians?[/citation]
By Asia, do you mean the middle east or the Asian Pacific? I am sure the middle east won't be touching us while we keep swallowing their filthy oil. They needs us, because without us they would be milking camels or frying in their deserts. Then again, they might not be aware of the basic principle of "don't bite the hand that feeds you".

I do proofread but writing so much in one day means not every typo is caught.

Each news editor is also responsible for posting and proofing someone else's stories. On any given day, one editor writes between eight and ten stories and edits the same number of stories from someone else.

We work with a skeletal staff, we do our best and we're constantly trying to improve on what we already do. I'm really sorry if it ruins your experience or you think it's ridiculous, but like I said, we do our best with what we have and we're constantly trying to get better.

mlopinto2k1, are you dumb? You do realize the Middle East is in Western Asia. And the bible (Old and New Testaments), koran, and every other major religious text were written in Asia.

The term Asia originated from ancient Greece, and referred to everything east of Greece. Europe was everything west of Greece. Technically, Europe isn't even a real continent since there are no geographic markers that separate it from Asia.

So your idea that the bible talks about Asians crushing nations is a bit idiotic.
 
hmm.. i want to learn how to hack... also this sort of things is why i block in incoming and outgoing traffic to and from china...

Hey dude, it might be the opposite. The US is indeed the largest consumer of oil in the world. Where do you think the US will be if there's no oil / if Bush didn't hacked his own way to the middle east just to get it?
 
[citation][nom]omnimodis78[/nom]This is just a show. A distraction. Nothing more.[/citation]

Or this is another scapegoat for the chinese govt own action
 
My ass this site had 180,000 members. China is inflating these numbers to scare the US while pretending to be a hero, expecting praise. I bet the site had all of 12 members.
 
now it seems like the chinese government really do something about their hackers. I wish the american government can do something about their teens porn website too. dame. is more like the chinese love more about IT tech and the americans love more having sex with teens.
 
people who take this news serious are idiots. will the chinese government shut down any of their own hacker website that can harmful to the US? and they will let you know about this. I guess the chinese is too smart to fool the amreica again.
