- perlgeek 3y agoNote that what the author did could have been done in a purely passive way, just by capturing packages and seeing the DHCP responses others got. I don't think that qualifies as "hacking".
- sys_64738 3y agoTell that to the judge then.
- mynameisnoone 3y agoThe ignorant masses demonize what they don't understand. If you don't appreciate the subtleties of passive investigation vs. offensive intrusion, then why are you even here?
- sys_64738 3y agoA layman only sees a terrorist hacker interfering with the operation of an airplane. The no-fly list at best or Gitmo at worst.
- UrineSqueegee 3y agogood thing he didn't do any then lol
- bdavbdav 3y agoWhat was hacked?
- sys_64738 3y agoRunning hacker tools against aircraft operations will get you easily indicted. This can be seen as probing an aircraft defenses for weaknesses.
- bdavbdav 3y agoDefine a hacker tool - is the whole computer a hacker tool because it could be used by a hacker? How do we define tools that can be used both legitimately and illegitimately. The tools used were common network diagnostics tools.
- sys_64738 3y agoIt's what the Feds decide to indict you with when you get caught, or are daft enough to put up a blog saying you did on an airplane.
