[Pierre-Marie Baty]

You dont need to be a "genius" to crack code. And when you're a genius AND a cracker, you don't get caught as easily as Mitnick got caught. The number of crackers around this planet who are able to break into a server, create viruses and deface sites and their average age and level of vocabulary should confirm you that. Do you really know something about Mitnick ? It's Mitnick by the way, not Midnick. I guess all that you know, you've heard it somewhere in an IRC channel where it was posted by wannabe l33t hax0rs wanting to show their unexistent knowledge. Mitnick is a pure product of mass media. An urban legend. Mitnick thought he was a l33t hax0r and tried to break into government servers, until he realized there are admins out there on the net who know their business, and he got caught miserably by a Japanese security consultant. The fact that it was government servers scared the shit out of people and mass media phagocyted this story and inflated it with a lot of bullshit. Let me say it again slowly so that you understand: You Don't Need To Be A Genius To Do What Mitnick Did.

A PC, a book about assembly, a network connection, a couple of badly administrated porn servers, et hop! I'm a Genius (and one with a capital G, even). F34r my l33t sk1llz, biohazerd! 9_9
