Hey newlxuser, I was one of the "prospective hackers" who asked you for the binary.
Well, before calling anyone that, may I suggest you look into the reasons that different people might be interested in the file. I asked you for the binary so that I may debug it too and maybe learn from it. People who create anti-virus/anti-trojan softwares need to understand the working of such trojans and viruses and hence going by your definition or stereotype, it maked them malicious hackers too. I am glad that you consider hacking a bad activity and so do I. So please be careful before you malign anyone without knowing about their intentions. Regards, Farhan. PS: BTW, I do not agree to your definition of 'hackers'. It seems to be that you assume that all 'hackers' are criminal minded people who are constantly trying to cause harm. The term hacker originated to describe people who could go really deep into the functioning of the software/hardware and could find ways to by-pass the usual processes. They are people who understand the working of the machine really well.
