Americans Demand Justice: Tougher Sentencing for Hackers
Ask a liberal to define the word “hacker” and he would probably give you a rose-tinted answer. To the liberal, a hacker is a harmless tinkerer. A sort of digital wild-west outlaw whose “hacks” are merely victimless crimes, to be celebrated like a modern-day Robin-Hood. He might go so far to claim that “hacking” is a perfectly legitimate activity and therefore something that should be encouraged.
It’s unlikely that a FBI agent would agree; nor would anybody who has to commute by air, drive a car, raise a family or pay their taxes:
STR’s Fact File: According to the leading anti-hacker firm Symantec, hackers regularly cause over $20Bn damage to computer systems per year. The cost of cleaning up from a single hacker attack on a corporation is typically $5million per incident.
Hard working Americans know that computer technology underpins much of our daily life. These same computers that control our power-stations and aircraft my be the next target for a crazy liberal hacker, who might be looking to break into critical national infrastructure as a prank.
In order to be invited into one of the hacker fraternities initiates are required to perform smaller acts of sabbotage such as defacing a national web-site or breaking into military computers. Launching a nuclear missile, crashing an aircraft or causing a Chernobyl style meltdown are common hacker fantasies; to cause such massive destruction is the holy-grail of hackerdom. Hacker groups exist to cause mass-destruction, and therefore hacker knowledge should be considered a WMD and be controlled accordingly.
Fact File: The most skilled hackers call themselves “Script Kiddies” because they use Linux PHP scripts to do all their hacking. PHP is an obsolete programming language that was based on an ammateur implementation of Microsoft’s ASP. The iamge shows a typical hacker, he is probably trying to steal government secrets or pass confidential information on to fellow terrorists.
We at STR.com cannot claim to be as important for America as the nation’s energy supply or transport infrastrucure, but we too have been the victim of a hacker’s attack. We found this shocking, boasting confession posted in our “Free Speech Zone”:
From vexorian@gmail.com
Subj: I haxx0r3d yr sit3Hello, I read your first article about the 1000000 clicks. After that I made a nifty script that downloaded the image you have at the bottom periodically to my server.
Between other things I got the 1000000 visit ad and well countless of others. You should have noticed that the click counter was advancing incredibly fast. Next time I read is that you made a whole story about someone who beats his wife getting the 1000000 click, well that’s impossible since I had the 1000000 pic (of course I don’t have it with your website because the script only cared about the counter not the lame blog)
It is a shame, I thought this site was a satyre blog agaisnt conservative morons, but you guys are for real, and that is why I am shutting you down. You were were too out of the line sometimes.
Vexorian
Naturally, vexorian’s scheme was detected and we were able to reset the counter, however the fact remains that this hacker was trying to steal from us, and worst of all, you the reader. He was trying to deny you the chance to win our prayers.
Disgusting hackers like Vexorian claim that “Information wants to be free”, the rationale for their repeated attacks on America. Believe it or not, many liberal hackers have used this nonsense-phrase as a defence of their actions when caught. They claim that information’s “desire” for freedom is a valid justification for hacking into government computers in order to steal secrets.
Friends, we survived this hacking attack, mainly because we took precautions. Unlike many American businesses, we had applied all the relevant Windows Service Packs, plus updated the Norton Firewall on our server. That means “vexorian” was no match for the very best in American technology.
But imagine what happens when hackers decide to interact with less prepared families, businesses and churches? Against the unprepared, a hacker attack can be devastating. That is why we are calling upon all Americans to lobby for tougher sentences against computer hackers. This is what we propose:
- Possessing hacking tools should be a criminal offense: This should include any software designed to circumvent other computer’s security, plus products with known relations to hacking tools. For example the Linux operating system includes DVDRIP (for pirating DVDs), SSH (for breaking into remote computers), and Telnet (an older remote hacking tool). All of these evil programs should be outlawed.
- Hackers who posess potentially dangerous knowledge should be detained unless they are willing to use those skills in the service of the government. These dangerous people should be regarded as human WMDs.
- Hacking offenses should be punished by a minimum five year prison sentence. We would allow a brief amnesty for deluded, self-confessed hackers like ESR to come forwards, however once the new law is in place we demand that it be implemented strictly. Only a tough penalty can tame hacker curiosity.
- Hackers who attack government systems or computers belonging to private companies that provide essential government infrastructure should be given especially harsh sentences. We should make an example of these evil people – Americans demand life imprisonment or possibly a death penalty.
- There should be an “Internet drivers license“. Anybody wishing to use the Internet should be examined on their knowledge of the Windows operating system, plus have a basic standard of morality. References from a church or local republican party officer may be required to get the license. Ex-convicts and people with lax morals should be kept from the Internet for their own good!
- Computer programs that do not include DRM and “Trusted Computing” security should be prohibited from sale in the USA. These incomplete computers present an easy target for hackers and must be phased out to make way for modern American technology. Linux computers are often provided without any anti-virus software, and often become riddled with viruses. Removing these dangerous computers would make life better for the rest of us.
- Three strikes… Finally, we know that liberal hackers have a tendancy to re-offend. We need to provide a much stronger dis-incentive to cause harm. In certain states, the penalty for a third offence is made stricter – for example even stealing a bottle of water could result in a long prison sentence for somebody who had a series of previous convictions. Hacking is a far greater crime, and accordingly hackers should expect a life-sentence if they have been convicted more than twice.
Friends, if you or your business, church of family has been affected by hacking, you will know that my modest proposals are fair and justified. Please write to your representitive demanding that they support this agenda for a hacker-free America.

Ayayaya … What a misunderstanding …
To hack is not “violating computers & law”… It is “find breach and how to exploit it”.
There are many schools in hacking but we can distinct two “majors”:
-white hat : give their exploits to editors in order to help them solving problems
- black hat : use exploits for their own and never give ‘em away.
After all of this we can distinct three major “hackers” (which is not a distinction you got by yourself but given by your peers):
- script kiddies: like tristan, they use some scripts, software and don’t understand what they’re talking about… (usually never read a line of code)
- crackers: get entries, destroy everything in order to hide themselves.
- hacker: best of all, good hackers are unknown because they’re hidden.
If you need some some ladder to compare:
- script kiddies : tristan
- crackers : US Gi’s
- hackers : japaneses ninja (xD)
Now, tristan, you have open something like pandora box, face defacing sooner or later! You can’t provoke such talentous people without risks…

Run this code in your brain in special thread.
mmmm… Tristan brain does not compile!!!!
jajajjaa.
Hi, I’m a evil habitant of that evil country called Spain (you know, the one that retired their troops from the Holy Crusade on Irak, and the same that has approved the gay marriage… yeah, i know, i’m going straight to hell!!).
Man, your blog is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever read… You’re doing a very good job faking a ultra-right-wind guy, you’re an eminence in my country!!!
But what’s frightening is that there are people that really thinks like your character, and even rule their country.
You know, someone who says that he does what he does because God is telling so to him, doesn’t sound as an adecuate leader, don’t you think?
By the way, you know as well as me, that you won’t be able to make payments and shopping via internet if weren’t by the hackers. More that that, Internet won’t be possible without hackers. I know, it’s normal to be afraid of freedom, because it gives you more responsability, and we usually get away of pressure. But I think the human kind is getting mature, and is ready to assume more responsability, as the teen who leaves home, don’t you think?
Oh, wait, no, you don’t think… :-)
Tristan…
stop talking about things you do not understand. read books, they are a lot of very simple books how should explain you informatics
My web browser also downloaded the image of the counter to display it on my computer screen, like vexorian’s script does! It’s horrible, I’m a hacker! I don’t want to be hacker any more, so I stop to go on your website, shelley, because I don’t want hack your blog by downloading images with my web browser.
Thanks for the great laugh (from jail according to your proposition of law.)
I studied computer security, I know some kinds of Attacks and how to prevent them, should I go to jail? I haven’t attack any computers, only some of my classmates to see if there were any security flaws (in order to practice our skills).
For the majority of us, we want to work in this domain, (for the government or any entreprises). So to learn how to protect computers, we learned how to attack computers and how to prevent those kinds of attacks.
Telent comes in with windows, standard.
An it is such a shameful hacker tool that in Internet Explorer, from the Grand firm Microsoft you can click on a link to open a telnet window.
I agree with you, Tristan, people should be informed about microsoft windows, because a lot of people use it without any knowledge of the security problems of windows. People must be informed about windows, it’s the bigger informatics swindle that ever been!
Perhaps you don?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•t mind it but YOU are using Wordpress, what is free as linux..
The cancer is growing…
No, we use Wordpress.net – this is a commercially supported (not open source) alternative to Wordpress that runs on ASP on top of Windows 2003 Server edition. You are a typical ignorant hacker.
The Truth: Americans Demand Justice: Tougher Sentencing for Hackers
Once again Tristan has shown his complete lack of technical knowledge. To think that he actually signed the blog as being the Technology Correspondent for ShellyTheRepublican.com. The term hacker was originally termed to describe someone who was either…
That’s funny Tristan. Wordpress.net redirects to wordpress.org. On the frontpage it says “WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.” You might want to check you facts a bit more closely. Wordpress will run on nearly any server operating systems. All it requires is PHP and mysql, if you don’t believe me read for yourself at http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/. Any server can be told to masquerade as another language provided you know how.
Shhhhh… Don’t anyone tell Shelley or tristan, but if you click on the trackback link, it gives you an Apache error message. Which is also a free operating system.
Err…I meant that Apache is a free web server software most commonly run on Linux
Anyone who has telnet on their computer should be denied an internet licence.
I don’t know about hackers, but if I ever meet a content spammer in person I’m going to kick him in the nuts.
Interesting enough Tony Blair in socialism limey land has proposed a bill to make owning any computer program that could be used, or be changed to be used in hacking illegal and a jailable offense. Clauses 33 to 36 of the Police and Justice Bill are the proposed laws.
Tony Blair in socialism limey land has proposed a bill to make owning any computer program that could be used, or be changed to be used in hacking illegal and a jailable offense.
That is why Tony Blair and his Conservative party are our allies in the war on Terror. We know from Barbra’s report on the UK that that land has many problems, fortunately they are not supporting terrorism.
But Tristan can you really trust someone who believes guns should be outlawed and medicine socialised?
No, I never said we could trust him. I merely stated that his policies that pertain to our war on terror are broadly acceptable.
“The UK has many problems?”
Jesus, take a look in the fucking mirror, Tristan. Actually, don’t. Just look at the proof. Whilst we may have chavs, our crime rates are so much lower than yours its funny. Also, the rather slimy conservatives no longer support the goings on in Iraq, and I believe most countries in the world fight terrorism.
“The war on terror” is a bit general. Don’t you think?
You *must* be jokeing. this is a joke site, right?
wordpress is free, running the the supposedly evil php and mysql. wow! your webserver runs apache. did you know thats open source too?
also, did you know linux/php/mysql/apache is proven to be more secure and stable then windows/asp/access/iis?
and, another thing. did you know microsoft themselves uses linux on MS servers.
oh, and btw, we (the us) are like in the 100-something-th for broadband technology. and im 99% sure we are way behind (overall) japan and SK.
The US is a great nation. i beleve in God. and im a republican. But you are simply insane.
I commonly hack my own network to make it safer. i also write my own programs for fun why is that to be a jailable offense. another thing internet licence wont work for the simple reason that it would only be enforcable in the US( hackers are in every country as well as the US) tristian should come to me as a fact checker first. PHP is not based on ASP. PHP is a modern from the ground up Object Oriented language. ASP doesnt share that distinction. btw PHP on apache is supported on Windows Server 2000 and Server 2003 not just linux. so if you had thoughts that it was inferior because of linux you may change your position. I also want to mention that Tristian’s grammar is atrotious.
> the Linux operating system includes DVDRIP (for pirating DVDs)
Linux proper is justr anb operating system and “comes with” no application software at all. So what you really mean is “software to pirate DVDs is AVAILABLE for Linus”, but it’s also available for Windows.
> Telnet (an older remote hacking tool). All of these evil programs should be outlawed.
Like Windows (all versions)? Try it for yourself: click start/run type in “telnet” clikc “OK”.
So by your own logic, Windows should be outlawed!
This is my favorite:
> There should be an ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Internet drivers license?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. Anybody wishing to use the Internet should be examined on their knowledge of the Windows operating system, plus have a basic standard of morality.

“For their own good! That’s too funny!! Hey, news flash, facists: we have this thing here in America called “Freedom”. See, it’s importatnt to recognize that our Freedoms come from our”Creator” not from our government, because what the government givews, the government can take away. You and Shelly run along and leave my country alone! Form you own, Christ-centered, moral, Godly, Christian nation in Guvana and leave the rest of us to our Godless freedon. Fascists.
“When fascism comes to America, it will be draped in the flag and carrying a cross” – Sinclaier Lewis
Once more thing: I just noticed your slogan down at the bottom of the page: “Freedom isn’t free” – uyou’re dsammned right it isn’t. The bill for Freedom comes due when YOU (personally) stand up and defned the freedoms of someone you completely disagee with. When you stand up for the freedom for someone whose ideas you depsise, then and only then do you begin to pay for your own freedoms. I’m sure you won’t understand this, but I thought it needed saying.

Hold on there Janus you idiot.
1) You’re comparing mysql, a relational database to access? What’s the matter, scared that MS SQL would kick mysql’s ass? (Hint, it does, ACID compliance does that for you)
2) There aren’t any linux boxes at ms. The akamami caching network uses linux for the dns, but that’s as far as it goes. Even hotmail ran off bsd.
3) You’re using ASP as an example? Despite it being 4-5 years obselete? Well I guess it’s fair to compare PHP to it I suppose.
Are you some sort of commie spreading lies?
if you just understand what you’re writing about…
HackerCrackerScriptkiddie… Read that terms in the Wikipedia ;)
Please, stop writing about Free Software and Hacker cause you don’t say anything else than lies! So, see ya in hell ;)
An internet drivers licence!!!! Tristen its like your reading my mind!!!!!!!!! Thats a real good way to keep the trouble makers at baye. On every site, they could ask you for your drivers licence number and if you dont have one then you cant get in and make trouble. Ha ha take that stupid hackers!!!!!!
http://www.shelleytherepublican.com use tagBox
http://www.j-fx.ws/tagbox/
“”
tagBox is a free simple tagger/shoutbox script written in PHP.
It uses a text file to store posts so it doesn’t require any MySQL database. This database is protected with simple encryption and an htaccess file. The script is made to be easily customized and has many options and features such as html limitation, smileys, flood protection, an admin panel with post editing and deletion, word bans, ip bans, timestamps, users online, clickable smileys, and more.
It runs perfectly on PHP4 and PHP5, linux and windows servers!
Best of all: It’s completely free! :) ”
tagbox isnt GPL, but is Open-Source and runs with PHP.
This is created for a “hacker”.
wooo!!!
The site’s back on top form lol
this is what I’ve been missing, something to make me laugh out loud after a day at work.

oops slight amendment to my last post.

People, people… stop commenting articles like this! It is clear that STR’s “crew” is just joking! Nobody can be that stupid. Don’t feed the troll.
Shit!!!
shellytherepublican.com is using evil software named WordPress which is distributed under a marxist evil licence GPL.
sorry shelly but we had to drop you in fire to remove the satan in you. Be sure US of A will be proud to have a brave member like you forever.
God Bless You and America.
Tristan, where are you get the commercial, non-opensource Wordpress on ASP and Windows? You told about Worpress.net but it is redirected to the homepage of the usual open-source Worpress (.org) And there is a “Powered by Wordpress” link to Wordpress.org in bottom of your pages. I think you lie. You are a bad Christian – shame for you.
For Shelley and Tristan the World is very simple : Republican = Good and Liberal = Bad. Very comfortable. Wake up !, open yours eyes !, open your mind !
i am an egyptian, and we have a word that westerners can’t accurately pronounced. the closest thing to how it sounds would be aha, the first a is pronounced like the first a in accronym
the ha sounds like the ha in hard. the reason im saying this is that this word is a very flexible word it is much more powerful than WTF. in that context this is the only adequate reply i have to this article.
let us spot some lines in the article that are an enough reply agnaist it:
“The most skilled hackers call themselves ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Script Kiddies?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? because they use Linux PHP scripts to do all their hacking.”
script kiddies are wanna be hackers, people with zero skill, who use ready made software package to make RAT “remote access torjan” so they can take over control of a very weakly protected computer, another condition for this to work is that the user be an idiot.
a script kiddie is not a hacker, a script kiddie may one day if he learns more and gains more skills be a cracker or malicious hacker.
another phrase:
“PHP is an obsolete programming language that was based on an ammateur implementation of Microsoft?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s ASP. The iamge shows a typical hacker, he is probably trying to steal government secrets or pass confidential information on to fellow terrorists.”
php is a language that is used invirtually every forum online. the very CMS “content managment sytem” you use on this site “ie wordpress” is made using PHP.
php was first implemented in 1994, asp was first implemented in 1996.
you cannot base any language on any thing microsoft makes, microsoft products are closed source you cant see how they work, how are they make a product based on something they have never seen the inside of???
another example:
“For example the Linux operating system includes DVDRIP (for pirating DVDs), SSH (for breaking into remote computers), and Telnet”
damnit tristian, windows contains telnet, just go to start-> run then type telnet press enter and pristo, what do you see
yup the telnet client that comes with every windows???
you cannot stop people from using the internet, america does not own or control the internet, please wake up. people do you live on another planet all together.
OK, looking through the site more, I think this has to be a spoof site. If so, well done! :-P
Pot is a very bad thing to smoke. Thought I just would come in and correct a few things. True hackers refer to kids wanna-be hackers as script kiddies. They posses no skill, and anything they do create is stolen code.
Also, you seem to be mistaking the word hacker with cracker. Hackers use their programming knowledge to help the community, they share their code, and they do cool things that would have never been done otherwise.
Many hackers could care less about your piece of shit country. I would much rather do something cool then read up on your governments stupid secrets.
Funny thing, hacking tools are protected under the law, so you can go and stop trying.
There are no hacker fratenities, only groups of people who put up their code, and mod stuff to do cool things.
Bottom line, true hackers could care less about anything mentioned in this article. These are all script kiddies fanasties.
Before you even think about submitting another tecnical article, please get off your arse and make a hello world program in C or C++ or .NET. I believe you are a bag full of crap, whos computer expertece end s at the ability to turn on a computer and click IE twice. You are a load full of crap.
shelly and tristan are the biggest idiots to society. I am a fellow American and i am embarrassed by the image that these 2 idiots are giving the US. lets kick those dumbasses to the curb and get some smart people in office. shelly the republican sounds like shelly the moron to me. ignorant fucking idiots. oh my god.. i must be hacking.. send me to jail! i just did a netsend command over my network to tell my bro that dinner was ready! shit! tristan dont hurt me!
I can’t believe i’m heading this from two “americans”. As one of your freedom fighters (I’m US ARMY), and after showing this article to my platoon this morning i can offically say that we’re ashamed to call you my country men. My commander reccomended that we hunt you down and deport you to North Korea. Or dress you up in rags and put you out on the streets of Iraq just so we can blow holes in you.
My unit is a commo unit, we deal with computers/internet all the time. I can tell you that you’ve got all your facts wrong.
Really i’m so frustrated i cant even thing straight… You’re just to retarded!
Legal Disclamer: If Shelly and Tristan get kidnapped tonight it has nothing to do with me!
terrible hacker, you’re right.
I love those people who talk about things they don’t know.

What an obvious troll you are. Nobody supports the brave American fighting men more than we do. The democrats would have you cut & run, but we support your mission, your commander in chief and most of all the brave American soldiers.
The democrats invent lies about the war in Iraq, and they use dishonest people like Murtha to malign our troops. If you had bothered to read our site you would know that nobody is a bigger friend of the American soldier than STR.com!
I think every Republican can see past your obvious lies.

No, no! I’m guessing that you just keep calling me a liberal and say that i hired a bunch of actors to play the roles.
I guess it’s impossible for you to believe that there is someone out there that has a better grasp of how things work in the real world. better yet there is someone that has actuially been stationed in the middle ease and seen first hand how things are running over there, that knows that things arn’t running the way they are supposed to abd that bush scrued up. Or that maybe it’s you that are beeing fed the lied from the “Right Wing” politics.
You’re the one who has the wrong vies on the situation. Further more, you post these blogs with no research into the subject at all. Is all this information you’re posting as truths stuff you picked up while walkiing down the computer isle in Wal-Mart?
You ideas are unoriginal, you logic is squed, and you’re the most gullible.

Since everyone else has pretty much told you how it is. I’ll just throw in that you suck.
As a soldier in the US Army I’m confronted with a lot of stupidity, but this just took the cake. And the table it was on, and the chairs; hell the whole house. Even the US Gov’t breifings on computer crime define the difference between hackers and crackers.
You sir, are a moron.
@Trinary
Once again, thank you for your troll. I know corrupt politicians like John Murtha would like us to believe that the U.S. Army is a hot-bed of liberalism, however we at STR.com know for a fact that real soldiers support the Republican party because Republicans support them.
I dont need to see your tag, or your photos. These things can be faked. The only thing that is for real is the fact that STR.com and the Republicans support our troops. I dont think there is a single soldier in the U.S. Army who would be as un-American as you.
If you were a real soldier you would be as keen as us conservatives to fight the war on Terror. The democrats want to cut & run – we Republicans will make a stand.
I think STR.com does not need to prove it\\\’s Pro Army credentials… our words speak for us:

“Freedom Isn’t Free”
Nope, it sure ain’t. Especially when the price we pay is litening to people like you abuse free speech with this sort of ignorant spew
While there are some people on here that simply blather expecting you to forcably see their oppinion via obscenity, I would rather simply respect your oppinions, yet attempt to correct any misguidings your blog has provided to its readers. When you say:
“* Possessing hacking tools should be a criminal offense: This should include any software designed to circumvent other computer?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s security, plus products with known relations to hacking tools. For example the Linux operating system includes DVDRIP (for pirating DVDs), SSH (for breaking into remote computers), and Telnet (an older remote hacking tool). All of these evil programs should be outlawed.”
-first you assume that people who choose to use alternative programs are bad; linux is nothing more than an alternative to windows or macentosh operating system; just as rye is an alternative to white or wheat. Windows can be used for dvd cracking (actually its far simpler than using linux);
-second You say SSH is for breaking into somebody’s computer; that is absolutely incorrect. SSH stands for Secure SHell; what it is for is to access YOUR OWN computer system from elsewhere on the internet, as is telnet; Secure shell simply provides some security FROM HACKERS! So your saying that this program to protect me from hackers should be outlawed? I want to keep the tone non-accusitory, but I think you should have done a bit more research before making such strong claims.
You also said:
“* Hackers who posess potentially dangerous knowledge should be detained unless they are willing to use those skills in the service of the government. These dangerous people should be regarded as human WMDs.”
Im sorry to say that that doesn’t sound republican; it sounds like something from the book 1984; I thought republicans wanted less government control and more control by the people? Since when was knowlege bad? We should keep the people stupid?
You said “* Hacking offenses should be punished by a minimum five year prison sentence. We would allow a brief amnesty for deluded, self-confessed hackers like ESR to come forwards, however once the new law is in place we demand that it be implemented strictly. Only a tough penalty can tame hacker curiosity.”
To this I don’t disagree, however such a steep sentance should also be enacted for MORE dangerous people, like drunk drivers!
I do have to say:
Opperating systems (windows) has nothing to do with the internet; they are seperate entitys thus one should be used as a requirememnt for the other
I also believe the hacker story about your ticker to be a fallacy; Hackers don’t act like that; nor would any virus software or firewall stop it; its not even a hack.
Your definition for script kiddy is absolutely wrong, real hackers use it as an insult to those who can’t hack without using somebody elses scripts; its a derogitory term; It is important to know all the facts before making such strong and uninformed comments;
Please take time to consider alternatives; otherwise, what is your opinion worth?
You spelled “Robin Hood” incorrectly.
Fix it.
“Windows Service Packs, plus updated the Norton Firewall on our server.”
I was reading your post and thought that this was real. Then I read that and started launghing.
Norton Firewall… ROFLMAO.
Cryptography and hacking tools are weapons under the US law. Are you propossing to ban weapons?

Ever bought anything from Amazon.com? Ever downloaded an update from updates.microsoft.com? Ever E-filed your taxes using the IRS’s website?
Oh well, looks like you played into the hands of the evil hackers!
@Tristan
Oh and by the way, what kind of person starts a company that makes a computer program that detects, analyses, and defeats viruses? Thats right, a company started, owned and staffed by hackers. An example? Norton?
*John Murtha would like us to believe that the U.S. Army is a hot-bed of liberalism, however we at STR.com know for a fact that real soldiers support the Republican party
How the hell would you know what a “Real Soldier” thinks and says! How long did you serve? How many deployments have you had? How long have you spent with other soldiers, listening to them talk about ther opinions of our government an our situation?
You are living in a bubble, making wild assumptions about things you know nothing about.
First off, the entire reason i enlisted was because of 9/11. Thinking, I’ll do my part! You say you’re simpathetic to the solders, yes you’re ignorant to the complaints complaints made by them. There are issues with lack of armor, (I was missing the ceramic plates in the back of my IBA (Individuial Body Armor) for the first part of my tour), Everyone complained about the abount of time we were required to spend over there. Also, most uf us felt that we had no purpose over there and that we were waisting years of our lives by being there.
I’m not sayin that the the boys kinkin down doors over there arn’t doing good…. but the general thought throughout the service is that we want to come home. Out of my unit there might be %10 that think bush is doing a good job. Most of us voted for Bush for job security.
Anyhow, this argument is retarded. it’s obvious that you’ve been brain-washed by the bull shit spued by the republican party, trying desperately to cover there own asses .
Next time you post a blog with statements you’re trying to pass as truths. Do your reasearch. You’re definitions are almost 100% incorrect. Even by the government that you so hole heartedly defend, your defitions and storys are incorrect.
Next time site your sources for all your information. But, oh wait… you can’t because there is no source. There are all just your retarded opinions. One would hope that a person of your age would have matured enough to see through the bullshit and see the real truth.
Regaurding your fact file: “Fact File: The most skilled hackers call themselves ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Script Kiddies?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? because they use Linux PHP scripts to do all their hacking. PHP is an obsolete programming language that was based on an ammateur implementation of Microsoft?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s ASP. The iamge shows a typical hacker, he is probably trying to steal government secrets or pass confidential information on to fellow terrorists.”
You use a little program found easily at the very right of the page called tagbox. I clicked the link provided by tagbox (ON YOUR PAGE) and it said:
“tagBox is a free simple tagger/shoutbox script written in PHP.
It uses a text file to store posts so it doesn’t require any MySQL database. This database is protected with simple encryption and an htaccess file. The script is made to be easily customized and has many options and features such as html limitation, smileys, flood protection, an admin panel with post editing and deletion, word bans, ip bans, timestamps, users online, clickable smileys, and more.
It runs perfectly on PHP4 and PHP5, and linux servers!
Best of all: It’s completely free! :)”
So from this I gather that this very website is basking in the evilness that is php and linux! And what is it you said? “Possessing hacking tools should be a criminal offense: This should include any software designed to circumvent other computer?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s security,” You included Linux and php in this statement; does that mean you guys should go to jail?
it has come to my attention that you are or at least were an IT guy; so it seems that you are intentionally misleading your readers; That’s not fair or just

We have around 36.000 employees in our HQ only, all of us using that beautiful OS by Microsoft – Windows XP!!!
It really helps us crack encryption keys and analyze captured traffic off your wires. We really care about your security.
Of course, the telnet binary (telnet.exe) is removed from any copy of our desktop operating systems. After all, we are the good guys, not script kiddies.
Please calm down. All we do is keep your privacy and security!
Have you a plan to seize computers operated by islamic hackers here in northern Pakistan?
First off, you use Norton xD, geez can you not afford a decent firewall/AV??
Secondly, don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t write about things you so obviously know nothing about, it just makes you look amazingly stupid.

PS. you spelt image wrongly in you little fact file about “script kiddies”.
Did the muppetshow stir you up??
What a bunch of crap..
[scriptkiddy mode] 57up1d M0rr0n [/scriptkiddy mode]
Wait you said that Linux is riddled with viruses? Dont hackers live on linux? Hackers being the ones who write the viruses? Isnt that counter productive for hackers? You really know nothing of the tech world…
I may not be a great hacker (at least by hacker standards) but at I can tell the difference bettween different political parties.
Tony Blair is the leader of the LABOUR party not the CONSERVATIVE party, get your facts right.
i support bush and i am a republican. But i find you a complete embarrassment to the republican party. do your research. i was very close to becoming a democrat after reading this completely wrong blog. you are ignorant. i hope the republicans throw u on to the street for insulting us.

What a troll! You claim to be a real republican and yet you cannot join with us to campaign for tougher penalties for computer-terrorists. You are no republican, most probably a Clintonite!
The first image is a load of shit. Why would a hacker wear a diving mask, while holding a fly swatter and a spray paint can?
The next image makes me want to vomit. Naked, obese men sitting in front of computers is too much. Only a liberal would post something that nauseating.
hack?Ǭ¨?er:
n. Informal
1. One who is proficient at using or programming a computer; a computer buff.

Do you, read?
I find it funny that the writers of this blog only respond selectively to criticisms. If their position is so strong, they should be able to defend any criticism, yet they always choose to fight the weaker ones.
Troubled Republican I could not agree with you more. If this is a serious site, they are disgraces to the COnservative movement. The hate and ignornace tey show here is so wrong its laugahable.
God wanted me to let y’all know – fuck the troops.
Ummm… ya dumb a$$e$ should KNOW, WordPress (Which is what yer blog is running on). RUNS on LINUX and PHP (It is coded in PHP). and also, ASP, is an amatuer implimentation of PHP…not the other way round. Get your facts straight, and stop smoking all that METH, I know its freely available at your local trailerpark in Iowa..but that is NO excuse..
again i freakin say it
how can PHP be based on asp it is older
how can anything ba based on a closed source project “ie ASP” on one has seen the inside of it for GOD’s sake.
what campaign tristan? i support bush and the war. u how ever are the tirant. you call muslims evil people, but listen to yourself. Your the one that wants to whipe them out of society. your the one that wants to see evey kid who knows how to use a computer a hacker in jail. your the one who wants to hurt suspected people for info they dont have. you are the tirant. miss shelly taub… you are an idiot
Alright…this is, well, special. I agreed with you before on such things as flag burning, but now…I doubt your motivations. You’re starting to sound like a fear-mongering liberal now.
I’m going to agree with the first few paragraphs…as for all the claims that hackers are just folks who work for companies like Norton, helping people out…those are computer engineers, not hackers. It’s a legitimate job, not some internet slang for a hoodlum with a keyboard.
After that, though, I laugh at you.
“In order to be invited into one of the hacker fraternities initiates are required to perform smaller acts of sabbotage such as defacing a national web-site or breaking into military computers. Launching a nuclear missile, crashing an aircraft or causing a Chernobyl style meltdown are common hacker fantasies; to cause such massive destruction is the holy-grail of hackerdom. Hacker groups exist to cause mass-destruction, and therefore hacker knowledge should be considered a WMD and be controlled accordingly.”
This is so loaded with impossibilities that I must laugh. Yes, they deface web sites and, occasionally, if they’re the best on the planet, break into military computers…but things like launching an ICBM, crashing an aircraft, or causing a nuclear meltdown are flat-out impossible. Want to know why? ICBM control systems ARE NOT LINKED INTO THE INTERNET. There is no physical connection to allow a hacker to break in. They can breach electronic barriers, certainly, but first they have to break into a US military base, slip into a control center, murder at least three trained and armed military personel, hack that center, then do a repeat performance at another center in the same launch group, all without being caught by security forces! Trust me, I’ve been there, I’ve seen the systems. Nothing less would work. As for crashing an aircraft, I suppose if they’re phenomenally good, they could hijack some GPS satellite, use a carrier wave to break into the nav system, and maybe take over the autopilot…but considering modern systems, the pilot automatically overrides, and even if the hacker defeated the safeties, all the pilot has to do to defeat the hacker is pull a single, easy-to-access, clearly labeled fuse, and all the autopilot’s power is gone. And considering the requirements to even become a pilot (Reference FAR/AIM), every single pilot in every single plane can competently land their aircraft. If they managed to hack the ATC computers, which I am unsure whether that is possible, yes, they’d cause no end of problems, but a Condition Zero would be called over the radios, and between the pilots and the ATC’s, everyone would get down safely. No hacker can take down every single radio in an area, they’re just not connected. As for a nuclear meltdown, once again, those computers are completely independant of any external method a hacker could use to infiltrate them. Which is where you run into the same problem of basically forming a military assault on a nuclear power plant, because even if they did somehow manage to get inside and hack the computers without getter caught, there are so many manual overrides and independant emergency safety systems that the reactor would simply shut down. Chernobyl was a unique incident caused by shitty Russian Cold War engineering and idiotic, half-trained controllers. The various weaknesses required for such an incident simply don’t exist in American reactors. It would be far easier (and this is entirely relative, given) for a bunch of hackers to learn how to use guns, steal hundreds of pounds of dynamite, assault a nuclear facility, and attempt to manually blow the reactor with explosives. Though even that is quite preposterous, they’d be better off going for the nuclear waste. In any case, we’re talking about a bunch of arrogant weaklings learning how to shoot a gun reasonable straight, then engaging a trained and armed security force of at least 50 individuals, and this doesn’t take into account the various other protections they’d have to bypass, such as the blast doors (8 tons of concrete on a hinge, anyone?).
I hate to point this out about that first image, but…I never imagined you could hack a computer with a flyswatter and a spray bottle. Looks more like someone’s trying to kill an annoying bug to me…and I hate to say this, but even I know that a “script kiddy” is an amateur (good ol’ days of Evercrack and macro’ers, same term was used).
The whole thing about the million clicks just doesn’t make sense to me, but then again, I don’t know the whole story…but that second image made me wish for a barf bag. I will agree with the caption, even if I don’t have any clue about the relevance of the picture. I’m also pretty sure that any competent hacker can bust Windows and Norton wide open…I mean, look at the various viruses and trojans that are being discovered. Daily. Each of those is a new weakness that has to be covered. If you’re hooked into the internet, you are guaranteed to be vulnerable to some hacker. They’re smart, they’re adapting proactively…something that defensive products, like Norton, can’t do. They can only adapt reactively. Note the difference.
Some of the things you suggested were good…many were preposterous, and some would be criminal to enact.
” * Possessing hacking tools should be a criminal offense: This should include any software designed to circumvent other computer?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s security, plus products with known relations to hacking tools. For example the Linux operating system includes DVDRIP (for pirating DVDs), SSH (for breaking into remote computers), and Telnet (an older remote hacking tool). All of these evil programs should be outlawed.”
I don’t know shit about Linux…so I can’t say anything about that. Same for SSH. I do know, though, that Telnet is built into every Windows OS…I use it as a chat program for several MU*’s (think text-only MMO’s). Don’t believe me? Start->Run, type telnet, hit enter. Or, if you want to be really lazy, Start->All Programs->Accessories->Communications. It’ll either be called Telnet or Hyper Terminal. If you just let the mouse sit over Hyper Terminal, a little tooltip will pop up telling you the program is used for connecting to, among other things, “Internet telnet sites”. This really does make you look like a fear-mongering liberal.
” * Hackers who posess potentially dangerous knowledge should be detained unless they are willing to use those skills in the service of the government. These dangerous people should be regarded as human WMDs.”
Um…this is preposterous. To give you an example, I know how to make gunpowder (sulfer, saltpeter, and charcoal for a really basic kind). I could use this knowlege to make a bomb. Or I could even go to a gun shop and buy a container of gunpowder. Does this mean I should be detained unless I’m willing to make bombs for the government? If you think yes, please realize that this means anyone who reloads their own bullets, uses black powder rifles, etc., should be detained. We’re talking at least 20% of the US population here! Knowlege is not a crime, how it is used, though, can be. You can’t punish someone before they commit a crime…that’s a liberal idea. As a reverse way of demonstrating how preposterous an idea this is, say you were a manufacturer of Freon (old coolant chemical, now illegal to manufacture, does some really nasty stuff). You obeyed the law, and stopped manufacturing it when the law said you had to stop. Now, the next day, the cops show up and arrest you for making Freon, even though you only did it while it was legal. Now, the reason this can’t actually happen is that it’s expressly forbidden in the Constitution. You cannot be arrested and convicted if you did not commit a crime. Simple as that.
” * Hacking offenses should be punished by a minimum five year prison sentence. We would allow a brief amnesty for deluded, self-confessed hackers like ESR to come forwards, however once the new law is in place we demand that it be implemented strictly. Only a tough penalty can tame hacker curiosity.”
Agreed.
” * Hackers who attack government systems or computers belonging to private companies that provide essential government infrastructure should be given especially harsh sentences. We should make an example of these evil people – Americans demand life imprisonment or possibly a death penalty.”
Unless they manage to directly cause the death of someone else through their actions, they cannot be charged with a first degree murder. Familiarize yourself with the law. Unless they hijack some computer-controlled weaponry and kill people with it, or do something very similar, they can’t even get a life sentence. That would be excessive punishment, far beyond the scope of the offense. I’m not saying they should get off easy, especially if they caused a lot of monetary damage, but unless they can be specifically held accountable for lost American lives, the Constitution protects their lives.
” * There should be an ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Internet drivers license?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. Anybody wishing to use the Internet should be examined on their knowledge of the Windows operating system, plus have a basic standard of morality. References from a church or local republican party officer may be required to get the license. Ex-convicts and people with lax morals should be kept from the Internet for their own good!”
Windows isn’t the only operating system out there that’s legal (Mac’s OS X and such). Not only would such a law create a monopoly, and thus create a bit of computer communism, the idea of having a “morality” requirement reduces it to a purely subjective law that can’t really reinforce itself. Also, requiring a reference from a church or specific political party establishes both an official religion (violation of the First Amendment), and an official political party (Communism, anyone?). Also, the idea of an ex-con being automatically disallowed is absurd. An ex-con hacker, certainly, but a theif? Doesn’t match the crime at all. And as for “lax morals”, I think strip clubs are immoral. Does that mean that everyone who’s ever been to a strip club shouldn’t be allowed on the internet? What does that cover, 90% of the male population over the age of 21? Morality laws are absurdly subjective; for once, the Supreme Court had some really good reasons for declaring them un Constitutional (they did this back in the 1830’s, I think…I’m going to have to research that).
” * Computer programs that do not include DRM and ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Trusted Computing?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? security should be prohibited from sale in the USA. These incomplete computers present an easy target for hackers and must be phased out to make way for modern American technology. Linux computers are often provided without any anti-virus software, and often become riddled with viruses. Removing these dangerous computers would make life better for the rest of us.”
This is so far beyond absurd I can’t come up with a word to describe it. On top of creating a government monopoly of computers, again (Communism), this would actually make it easier for hackers, limiting the number of systems they actually have to try to exploit. Also, I hate to say this, but Windows itself doesn’t have built-in Anti-Virus software…it normally comes with, but it’s not part of Windows, it’s 3rd party. Also, despite being a Windows user myself, I do respect the numbers…Windows, due to sheer popularity of usage, is also the most popularly targeted OS for viruses. Also, there are several companies that produce Linux-based OS’s that are supposedly very reliable. This would effectively outlaw them, once again, creating a monopoly over the computer market.
” * Three strikes?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ? Finally, we know that liberal hackers have a tendancy to re-offend. We need to provide a much stronger dis-incentive to cause harm. In certain states, the penalty for a third offence is made stricter – for example even stealing a bottle of water could result in a long prison sentence for somebody who had a series of previous convictions. Hacking is a far greater crime, and accordingly hackers should expect a life-sentence if they have been convicted more than twice.”
I’ve heard of “Three strikes” laws before, believe we have it in Missouri, know we have it in Texas. And that’d be a great proposition. Maybe not a life sentence, depending on the severity of the crimes, but for a repeat hacker who commits credit-card fraud and causes severe damage? Certainly. Go for it. All behind you.
Seriously, I’m Christian, I’m God-fearing, I’m Republican (only got to vote for Bush once though, legal voting age requirements). But I find your comments and rhetoric to more closely resemble a Communist or Facist than an American (and yes, I don’t count members of the so-called American Communist party and the various neo-Nazi groups as Americans…personally, I think they should be declared dangerous animals, and there should be an open year-round season on them).
Either take the time and research your claims, or shut the fuck up and let the informed conservatives do the arguing. You provide more fuel for my hippy liberal opponents than I really need, because you force me to disagree with you, and they take that as agreeing with them…which makes it all the harder to shut them down when they get going.
Oh hello, Linux is now a hacker tool? Telnet is a hacker tool? SSH is a hacker tool?
OMG! LINUX ATE MY BABY! SSH KILLED MY WIFE AND TELNET TOOK OVER MY SON! I SWEAR IT! IT HAPPENED!
Now for the serious portion, this blog posses nothing except for false information. Wait! Lets do a check, first lets see how many times someone has performed a ‘hacker deed’ on Windows. The number has got to be pretty high. Now for pirating DVDs, lets take the users who do that, there has got to be a high number. Sure, there are some people who do it on the Linux operating system. Point-blank, operating systems is not a religious battle, its consumer choice. But today, a very slim consumer choice.
You know what, I will get some information for you, in a website that should be easy to visit for Triston,
http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_701610451/Open_Source_Software.html#p5
http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761582865/Telnet.html
In the little portion of life you do have, go outside for a change. Obsessing over obese people posing in front of computers and moaning about Linux is not a very good one. One more point, if there wasn’t Linux, SSH, Telnet, DVDRIP, and the other applications, that there are instantly supposed to be no more hackers? Think it out, while I recalibrate DVDRIP to activate SSH to trigger Telnet on your site! OMGOMGOMG!
You might actually thank me,
TechHut
Is that picture of vexorian real? Isn’t that Michael Moore? I mean look at him. He’s really fat! Gross. And that’s a great liberal icon? Pathetic.
Your lampooning of Linux users has no proof and is highly stereotypical.
1) it doesn’t matter what tools a hacker uses, they are a hacker because of their illegal activities.
2) Windows also contains telnet and other such programs as you mentioned being “evil”. The idea that merely having such programs is wrong is totally illogical and ricidulous. It is what they are used for. Telnet is such a simple login tool that it’s not even logical to call it a hacking tool. It was designed “back in the day” to provide a login, that is all.
3) All hackers use Linux PHP? You’re stupid. How many hackers do you know? How often have you visited hackers.org/com/whatever? Around 2000 I visited that site and looked at the “hacking tools” they had: most were Windows software and were not anything on your list. Stop lying to the public.
4) SSH isn’t for breaking into remote computers. Again, you’re lying and you don’t even know the truth. First, you must be running SSH server to be logged into. Windows doesn’t include this server so your fears are unwarranted. Second, it’s not a “hacking” tool, it’s a secure remote login tool, which is important for managing, say, your web server from your condo on the beach. I use it to update my website. In fact, that’s how I was given an account: the administrator made me a login when he gave me my account.
5) As for DVDRIP, it is NOT included in the Linux operating system. It is a program designed by a team for Linux, but Linux itself (i.e. Linus Torvaldes) has not made it part of Linux nor made any such assertion. And having DVDRIP is not illegal: I can rip my own legally purchased DVDs to my laptop for going on business trips all I want. That’s not illegal. It’s illegal to give anyone any of my ripped DVDs, whether I charge or not. It’s not illegal to turn CDs into MP3s for your MP3 player, for example.
6) As for death penalty for hackers, I think the idea of the court system is that the punishment fit the crime. If they stole money, they should have to pay it back. But I’ve never heard of any hackers causing the death of any human beings.
7) Sure, maybe an internet “drivers license” is a good idea. I get sick of all the people in my neighborhood that have worms and viruses on their windows machine that try to attack my home LAN at my router. However, good thing my router is Smoothwall Linux and it blocks such garbage.
8) As for Linux versus Windows, there’s no issue with where it was designed. Windows XP right out of the box is NOT secure, not even the service pack 2 slipstreamed copies. It contains no office tools, no antivirus, and a weak firewall, and you’re going to claim it’s better than Linux because it’s “made in America” or some nonsense? Linux out of the box has a firewall and doesn’t even need antivirus because all viruses were fixed at the operating system level. Oh, wait, Microsoft can’t fix all the problems in Windows to bring Windows to that level. Sounds like Linux would be a much better solution.
Where do I get my Internet License? I hope it has biometric info so it can’t be faked. That way illegal immigrants won’t be able to use the internet. They keep coming across the border for high speed internet access. That’s got to be stopped.
By and large, right on, Neo Sadist…but do give credit on what he/she/it got right, though…even if it was an accident.
Oh, and by the by…
“8) …Linux out of the box has a firewall and doesn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t even need antivirus because all viruses were fixed at the operating system level. Oh, wait, Microsoft can?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t fix all the problems in Windows to bring Windows to that level. Sounds like Linux would be a much better solution.”
Um…that’s about a load of crap. Software firewalls, be they a Linux-based one or a Windows-based one, are notoriously unreliable. You mentioned viruses were attacking your router, so you’re basically saying you have a hardware firewall, which are very reliable, if they’re maintained. So not a real difference. Also, the idea of fixing all viruses on the operating system level would require a perfect coding…and propose THAT idea to any computer programmer, even the best of the best, and they’ll laugh in your face. The main reason Linux could make a claim to be “more secure” is that it’s less popular than Windows, and therefore it’s less profitable to make viruses for.
Go on. Take a look. There are plenty of antivirus programs for Linux. Would any of them really be in business if they made a worthless product? Use your brain.
Haha I am teh L337 H4×0r I h4v3 teh Linux and will destroy you!
I thought non-Americans were not allowed to post comments in their filthy foreign languages. Only God-loving conservatives (real Americans) should be allowed to post.
I think “L337 H4×0r” means “Satan’s minion.” I guess our foreign friend is warning us that “Linux…will destroy you.” Thanks for that. God bless.
… … … wow… I am struck dumbfounded by the crapulence which is your website.
R23: Please, please, PLEASE say you’re joking. That’s ‘net slang invented and used by Americans, as painful as that thought is.
BTW, Webster’s dictionary has 4 different terms for “hacker.” Although the term is the same, there is a difference between definition number 3 and definition number 4. (I left 1 and 2 in there even though they had nothing to do with computers).
The point… not all hackers are doing illegal activities.
1 : one that hacks
2 : a person who is inexperienced or unskilled at a particular activity
3 : an expert at programming and solving problems with a computer
4 : a person who illegally gains access to and sometimes tampers with information in a computer system
That you understand Leet (”Lucifer’s Evil End Times” language) is proof that you are a liberal troll.
Invented by Americans? More like by liberals, also known as Satan’s minions and blame America firsters.
I can see through your deceit.
My last comment was directed intended for Aurain the liberal troll.
Obviously he used his kiddie haxorz skillz to insert a comment before mine to confuse people so they wouldn’t realize that I was calling him out.
Nice try, Aurain. We all see through your facade now.
I?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥ll found Shelley?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s brothers blogg. Take a look. Something is really wrong with that gene pool.
http://www.blogger.com/profile/24181401
Suddenly I understand why there are no pictures of Shelley on this site.
that is to say, that the knives had to be eliminated so that there is town that uss to kill and to commit crimes. Linux is freedom, the money is bil.
A good friend of mine is a hacker and sometimes, a cracker (you probably don’t know shit about the difference though) he uses OpenBSD, not Linux (as far as I remember this blog was recommending OpenBSD) Also he goes to public computers when performing attacks and uses Notepad to write code there.
In other words, and to follow your logic: people that use notepad should be arrested
Great idea!
I have 3 major issues with your post:
1)In order to be invited into one of the hacker fraternities initiates are required to perform smaller acts of sabbotage such as defacing a national web-site or breaking into military computers. Launching a nuclear missile, crashing an aircraft or causing a Chernobyl style meltdown are common hacker fantasies; to cause such massive destruction is the holy-grail of hackerdom. Hacker groups exist to cause mass-destruction, and therefore hacker knowledge should be considered a WMD and be controlled accordingly.
Not every single hacker has the intention of destroying the world. Thats like saying all republicans are retarded fools who think microsoft is the god of the internet. Taking one example (in my case you) andsummerising everyone in that broad group by it is nothing less than racism.
2)Fact File: The most skilled hackers call themselves ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Script Kiddies?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? because they use Linux PHP scripts to do all their hacking. PHP is an obsolete programming language that was based on an ammateur implementation of Microsoft?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s ASP. The iamge shows a typical hacker, he is probably trying to steal government secrets or pass confidential information on to fellow terrorists.
Skript kiddies are not called that bcause they use PHP, but because they use scripts without knowledge of how they work, or how to make them. They are despised among the internet community. That picture is nothing more than slander, it gives the impression that every single hacker is a 40 year old highly obese man who using his computer in the nude.
3)There should be an ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Internet drivers license?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. Anybody wishing to use the Internet should be examined on their knowledge of the Windows operating system, plus have a basic standard of morality. References from a church or local republican party officer may be required to get the license. Ex-convicts and people with lax morals should be kept from the Internet for their own good!
The internet is a place of freedom. keeping people off is pointless and impossible. And the worst part of this: you seem to assosiate knowledge of microsoft with computer literacy. Two factors that are completely un-related. There is far more to a computer than microsoft office.
PHP: 1994
ASP: 1996

good thing they only hack linux servers.

…Whoa.
So, we’ve established that:
PHP is at least a year older than ASP, if not two (depending on how you decide these things)
IIS is so full of security holes that you can walk your way through it
Microsoft software is generally less secure than Open Source software due to the natures of both, wherein I can impliment a fix in (let’s say) BSD on my box, post it to the site, they implement it in the global. Do that with microsoft software and the prosecute for copyright infringement
PHP is not used for hacking as PERL is vastly more efficient at it
SSH is not a hacker tool
Telnet isn’t a hacker tool
DVDRip is not illegal, just because it can be used to pirate does not mean that that is it’s original function.
Script kiddy is a derisive term used by sys-admins, hackers and anyone who knows what they’re talking about to describe people who use scripts to brute force access. No self respecting hacker would refer to themselves as a script kiddy.
DO some research before spouting this stuff please. I mean really. You are making yourselves look fairly uninformed and doing your political movement a huge disservice.
That said, I’m still convinced you’re pulling the proverbial.
Man I knew republicans were stupid, but this really takes the cake. This is worse then “the internet is not a truck. It’s a series of tubes.”
YOU ARE ALL THOUGHT CRIMINALS!!
/bin/sh has been used to compromise computer systems and must be banned. Even worse, vi and gcc are just EXAMPLES of two programs that can be used to create hacker tools that HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN WRITTEN YET!! They MUST be banned! Additionally we call for strict government licensure of 1s and 0s, which reportedly appear in every hacker tool.
Wow,
I am ashamed that you call yourself a Republican, your ignorance is amazing, you missed every point! By the way, per your own description you are far more of Democrat than anything else.
Please learn about what you choose to write about BEFORE you write about it.

Hello mr Frenchman Anonymous,
You counted not on the power of prayer! I got down on my knees and asked God to translate your foul words and not surprisingly both He and I were disgusted.
Stop using the devil Linux! This is no laughing matter! I have never watched the x-files. It’s you who has been smoking your mind, no doubt with that foul liberal drug cannabis. I didn’t understand your blathering but The Lord Above does and he is most displeased. He has a special message he asked me to pass on to you: “Je te pisse au coup”. I have no idea what that means. Au revoir, mon ami, je te souhaite le bon chance. (le ou la, je ne sais pas, et je ne me souci pas de ca.
you HAVE to be kidding….
I will erase you from my mind. Is a worthless used space.
ummm… are all the republican as stupid as you are? if so then i’m pretty sure everyone in this world will agree with me that you are using a precious Oxygen and space that could be usefull for the rest of us and the future of humanity.
Lamentable… disgusting…huacala… or an hoax?
Have you ever been in other countries? So get the net an d try to open you mind. Even Sarkozy or Le Pen are socialists to me as I’m reading your words… According to you, foreigners are the menace but there are more than 6 billion foreigners on this planet. Are you ready to kill them by yourself?
God thanks all the reasonable American guys who replied this and offered us a real vision of USA.
Tristan : See you after the Apocalypse (don’t forget to check the word in a encyclopedy)…
aw man u didn’t get hacked!!!!!!!! :(
Haha you got fucked in the ass!
[...] So, who hates the KKK? Those who don’t know anything about it. I just tried to visit the KKK.com website and it was down again after a hacker attack. The wrong spelling of the hacker’s message clearly shows that the pertetrators are foreigners, probably russians or muslim terrorists. STR.com is demanding tougher sentencing for hackers from the beginning. [...]
For example the Linux operating system includes DVDRIP (for pirating DVDs),
Forgive me if I’m wrong but xp has a built in cd burner that you can use to burn pirate cds.
As for mozilla, the new internet explorer is using ideas taken from the mozilla browser and why do people move over to mozilla because it is more secure than IE.
I am quite happy with linux. No more defragging. No more strange crashes (yes even in xp). No more playing around with security and no more updates clogging up my computer in a vain attempt to fix a flawed OS.
As for hackers – MS hire them to try and fix the holes in their system.
Well done on a great spoof site. you have had a lot of coverage in the net press and have manged to superbly show up the underside of america.
you now, if you open the windows xp shell, you also have telnet there.
Thank you. You have helped someone more than you could know.
Jesus loves me, really.
Ha Ha Ha. oh wow. I fukken lol’d.
nice work.
“coupon”,
don’t fool yourself. We are unable to help hackers. We demand the death sentence for hackers!

That there are so many earnest replies to such an unsubtle piece of politics makes one weep for the future of people who can prove they are not bots.

Vexorian pwns. Period.
What happened to the land of the free?
By the sounds of it, the only way to have a free country in your mind is to jail everyone but you.
If you don’t like hackers getting into your computer, THEN SECURE IT!
I’ve used computers for many years and to date I have not had any viruses or hackers into any of my systems. I even help administer a WINDOWS server and it too has not been hacked.
Yea Windows sucks and Windows is more likely to be hacked than Linux, all the more reason to use Linux.

ok, windows is the 2nd best thing next to Linux and Unix. Mac sucks big time.
If you don’t like hackers getting into your PC, secure it and stop dreaming up laws that will just pack our prisons more full than they already are.
Or…Move to a nice secure place, like North Korea, where you don’t have to worry about…Anything.
Personally I love to hack, Im hacking this website as soon as i am done posting, and Fuck liberals Im in the Pot Party Of America.

Fact File: The most skilled hackers call themselves “Script Kiddies” because they use Linux PHP scripts to do all their hacking. PHP is an obsolete programming language that was based on an ammateur implementation of Microsoft’s ASP. The iamge shows a typical hacker, he is probably trying to steal government secrets or pass confidential information on to fellow terrorists
Script Kiddies are the most skilled hackers? I think you need to do a little more research there lady. Knowing a little CSS and HTML doesn’t make you a hacker.
You’re the reason people hate Republicans. I love ‘em, they don’t like the government being the gay little buddy that hovers over your shoulder system that the democrats seem to favor with their “universal healthcare” and “help everyone now” programs. But damn, you suck.

Do you know that this idea, in other every area than internet that is not available for public at those times, was practised before. But not in US or in democracies, in USSR and Warsaw Pact countries.
I am very glad to see you offering a Communist action to be taken in our democracy.
shoutz to Sassin.
I know how to hack things and how to use computters so I can protect myself Tristan you are ignorant of all computong ehtics. 1st they teach all kids potentially dangerous knowledge in school should every kid in America be sent to jail. Also it would not be legal for the government to use a church as a moral scale since the state and religion are supposed to be separet also not everyone believes in the church i do but not everyone does also according to therio if all information isnt givin freely we work on the same idea produce the same results when we could have been doing to things also a internet license is unethical because one that means that no one is trust worthry and if you didnt get a license cause of morons like you it would be almost impossible for you to communicate organize your banking info and you probally wouldnt be able to work as anything higher than a peson in a fastfood restraunt you should find out what you are talking about before you start proclaming yourself king and destroying democracy freedom and privacy
Whilst I understand the concerns enumerated, I have an even bigger concern. In one word, liberty. I would hope that the comment about only using the knowledge as in service to the gov’t was jokingly made. Who is going to protect from the ever encroaching boot of gov’t? The problems of this world are not solvable by legislating answers. Did you ever hear “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink” before? Coercion is not the answer. The real problem is several generations have been raised in an amoral worldview (even immoral at tiems), with relativist philosphy driving it. And also, situational ethics, atheistic determinism, and behavioural conditioning systems, have all contributed to a lack of absolute values, the values the founders lived by, that are enshrined in the Decalogue.
