Hey Kern,

I like your level-headed approach, since my initial reaction is (and has been 
for some time) to string worried up with dental-floss until he reaches 
puberty.  Even though I disagree with you, I completely respect your approach 
and intelligent forethought.

Perhaps disagree is even a bit too strong... I agree with you in theory, but 
would submit that the lack of shroud between his "worried" and "n3td3v" 
identities would basically mitigate any cause for concern.  It's kind of like 
saying "Simple Nomad, even though you have been on CNN with you're real name 
I can't call you Mike." (or Mark?  CNN got it wrong ;)   sfirefinch was 
simply calling him by his other name as publicly listed here:

http://n3td3v.googlepages.com/home2

If you didn't know about that posting, reading a few of his FD shows me the 
link between identities.  

I am concerned that n3td3v, or worried, or xploitable, or whatever will get 
the impression that his self-gratifying tantrum makes an impact, furthering 
his abuse of people and lack of respect for others.  There is a problem to be 
addressed in this matter, but the majority of it must be placed on the 
adolescent with a chip on his shoulder.  

So I ask the question... did sfirefinch actually breach privacy?  or did 
worried?

Best Regards to you Kern,

Did you just say "security underground"?  What does that even *mean*!?  
Hacking underground... yes, I get that... and it actually means something 
(although likely less and commonly thought).  

And so what if the guy makes some cash from training?  Getting paid to support 
the habit is generally accepted as a good thing.  I'm glad you feel strongly 
about making help and discussion available for free.  Many good things have 
come from such ideals... but you sound like RMS of the "underground security" 
scene.

that's kinda cute.  a hack on 'leet hax0rs' (lol).  An inverse rootkit, if you 
will.  Not really hiding the fact that you have pwned a box, but hiding the 
fact that you haven't...  lame?  way.  but humorous.

Hey Paul,
More likely the purchase of...

although all this talk about being noble makes me think about Hamlet.
To Hack or NOT To Hack.  That is the question.  Whether tis nobler to exploit 
and disclose... or to skip litigious misery and sell the damn thing on 
zeBay... anonymously of course.

Although how to anonymize monetary transaction... that is truly and art.
