Subject: A mature question if I may?
Before the question I will ramble on a bit. Now I know I
could never be a hacker, and if I somehow learned the ways I
would end up probably screwing it up and getting my ass pinned
to a prison wall by Jungle Steve. So I will keep away and leave
that t o the professionals. No matter how much I would like to
learn, it isn't in my best interests and hard to accomplish
unless you know the right people(Gates?) to help you through
the process and the actual doings. A friend of mine tried to
download hack pro gz from a random http(idiot) and downloaded
a virus. When I ever download something from an unusual domain
like that I do multiple scans on it. It all seems like something
good to do for parts of society, but all these stupid newbies
nag people about it a nd pressure them. No one in their right
mind would reply to the question "Send me a hack prog?" Ok my
rambling ends here. I am hoping that my email is somewhat
respectful AND respected. And the question is.....
What are your "theoretic" ways that people are caught after
hacking/phreaking/etc..?
And a second is....
How are basic WWW site names and passes "theoretically" found
out or hacked?
(Note: I don't expect this to be answered, but I wouldn't like
ignorant remarks on the 'Going Postal' section about it, please.)
Sorry for taking your time. Good day and good site. =D
Self-Disclaimer:
Any information I have given shows no proof me hacking, wanting
to hack, or knowing hackers. Any legal feedback is unwanted and will
be shown as breaking of the Federal Privacy Act. This is a normal
question from a normal person. (Note: For legal troubles only. I
don't want cops knocking on my door. As if they aren't already.)
Theoretically, we're assholes.
