This self-proclaimed "hacker" was no more than a script-kiddie with a spot of luck and half a brain enough to follow social-media-password chains. What an absolute buffoon. I applaud the English student interviewer for maintaining his composure while wasting his time with the "black hat", who by the way [I'll save listmembers the torture of listening to elevated rants about his "sql injections in the PHP" and his "paypal hacks" and his net total $ gain of maybe $5000 over 4+ years of his extreme hacking] is 18 years old, in the middle of getting married and starting a family, but he'd give it all up to work for the FBI to "you know, help out with the hacking scene, and stop all the DDoSing wars between hacker crews". Perhaps the most appalling thing was that he could barely muster up a single question to ask his composed, educated and interesting interviewer, except what it would be like to meet a "black hat", [ie himself]. My god. One almost wants a member of a real (ie, foreign, serious $$$-earning) hacker "crew" to swoop down on one of these morons and pwn them in such an egregious manner so they might understand what a real penetration expert is and be so scared as to. just. stop. *facepalm* -- Rick Tait e: rickt@stickam.com t: 213-915-UNIX Charles de Gaulle<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/charles_de_gaulle.html> - "The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs."

Guy seems pretty uneducated, but it gives you an idea of the mentality. No offence meant to the HPR podcast, it has some good stuff. Like your comments.

He mentions selling a Bank of America employee account starting around 7 minutes 40 seconds, which just suffered a Denial of Service attack to its website.

Any connection?
Of course probably not, but just thought i'd throw it out there anyway.
