This is one of those things, in light of the continual expansion of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, that I'm not sure I'd make a blog post about. Kinda neat though.
- didgeoridoo 8y agoYeah this is almost certainly illegal, yet a very fun and accessible post. Myself, would have posted anonymously though.
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoRemember that burden of proof is on them... 'I'd like my lawyer'
- exhilaration 8y agoHow was it illegal? He was inside the club, was given the valid password, and therefore was explicitly granted access.
- didgeoridoo 8y agoAh missed that part. That’s SLIGHTLY safer, but I’d personally still be paranoid. “He used his knowledge of the code to publish HACKING instructions on a website called HACKER NEWS. The prosecution rests.” You’d be lucky if they don’t drop a “darknet” in there as well.
- onetimemanytime 8y agoExplain that to the jury or your cellmate. He was given permission to access, not permission to brute-force (blogged about it too.) Even if technically legal, why poke the bear? Lawyers cost $1000 an hour.
- RL_Quine 8y agoWhy? They were already permitted access by having the password in front of them.
- jonluca 8y agoYeah you might be right. How do I flag this for deletion? Any mods seeing this, could you remove it?
