It appears some of them aren't kids, and from what we have seen computer crime is taken seriously when it is done against the government or popular things (Sarah Palin's email password reset and leak got the guy 1 year).

Normal site owners should always be afraid, there are far too many automated scanners not to be looking at your logs. As for the nintendo hack it was stated as a warmup and what was posted was the apache conf, it was not lulzsec main target

Brute force doesn't even work for a large amount of the problems, but sometimes finding ways to solve the problems without using brute force can teach you how to think like a programmer. But you are right in thinking that the majority of th

Xen is used all over, AWS and a multitude of linux vps hosting are some of the major ones. I don't know how much kvm is used in comparison but I believe that Xen's paravirtualization offers some advantages over using kvm (someone with more

There are plenty of people who do this and I would much rather have the subject in the body as well, as my android client will put the subject at the top, a place I'm unlikely to look. It probably stems from the fact that I visually filter
