[quote="KingdomOfRats"]one of the major things [maybe the most major?] on aspergers syndrome is the high /technical skill in computers,computer companies/places are said to be full of aspies and other spectrumers. this would make sense why a hacker story happens to be about an aspie if there are a lot of aspies into that. and the 'suffers' bit,it is possible to 'suffer' from as or hfa,but no one else is able to say that for anyone but themself,plus suffer usually means 'disease',which no form of ASD is. it's probably better they said suffer than 'mental illness' though [have read an article linked to on a disability forum today saying learning disabilities are mental illnesses],they could have done a lot worse.[/quote]

I read through the rules, and it said nothing about accessing the DOS command prompt, or utilizing a .bat file to access it. The rules also said nothing about loading a live CD Distribution of BackTrack Linux, or anything else related to linux/unix
So, technically, I did not break the rules!

When you got caught with your hand in the cookie-jar, did anyone say you could take a cookie? In other words, were you actually PERMITTED to acess the command prompt?
I tend to think not.

I have been caught "hacking" when all I did was access the command prompt.
Now that the computer security people realized I can do more than that, they have me help them with all of their bugs.

Please understand that the original definition of "hacker" had nothing to do with breaking into computers or with computer security specifically.

The media has corrupted the word to give it a new (usually negative) meaning.

A friend of mine that works at an elementary school (systems admin) was talking to me about how the existing system the computers ran to keep people off the internet didn't work because it only stopped the direct running of browser applications... second graders were able to bypass this by typing a url into microsoft word to turn it into a hyperlink and gain access...
Most places like schools have retarded security setups, mainly because most schools don't hire real security people...

Crimes are not crimes if you've got permission to commit them, is that it? You're as biased as I am, fella. Computer crime is bad for society, hence it is bad for me. Get it?
Knowledge make you smarter, ignorance is pure dumb. It doesn't take expertise to figure that out.
Hearing from a person who refused to understand US laws about computer security. I don't think you will ever agree to my term.
If you have permission to hack it, you are free to hack it. Period.
Not able to improve computer security is like bringing chaos to your domain.
Department of Defense should have plug the exploits hole lot sooner. Now, they have to put up with hacker from China or other countries that have already compromise the security.

That is 100% biased.
The federal law clearly made computer hacking "ok" as long as permission is given from the owner of the properties.
If you didn't have permission then there no reason to hack and you would be arrested.

Holy crap, I was caught "hacking" at school, because I found a way to get into the blocked command prompt, ping IPs, and get into any website I wanted to go to.
I was expelled.
I did no harm.
I didn't even visit anything innappropiate (our content filter is completely retarded. It blocks stuff like google images)
I went to myspace, I believe.
that still works heh. Though our cmd isn't blocked

yes, but being part of a "elite" hacking group, having a script file and ip adresses is a crime?
