LINUXSECURITY.COM: LINUX SECURITY WEEK, JULY 10TH 2000

to segfault."

ROOTPROMPT.ORG: CRACKED! PART 7: THE CRACKER'S REVENGE

"He tells us all about how we made him do these things and that
it is all our fault. Little children talk like this. If you ask
them why they do something what you hear is a tale about how the
other person is at fault because they made them do it. ... He
continues by telling us how he was unfairly treated in our IRC
and how this justified his revenge."
