Thought: "Its Better to be coming down than to have never been high at all". ----------------------------------------------------------- While no system that is plugged in is 100 percent secure, if you can make your systems much more difficult to break into than average, you can wear most hackers down and they'll move on to easier targets ---------------------- Become paranoid! Protect yourself! Remember you have got everything to loose! Never feel silly doing THAT extraordinary action against tracing! Never bother if someone laughs on your paranoid doing! Never be too lazy or tired to modify the logs! A hacker must do his work 100% ! ----------------------------------------------------------- We work in the dark We do what we can We give what we have Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task The rest is the madness of art. ------------------------------------------------------------------- --The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics----------------------------- The following is a code of ethics suggested by the Computer Ethics Institute, Washington, D.C, USA. 1.

A low level supervising program woke up a slightly higher level supervising program deep in the ship's semi-somnolent cyberbrain and reported to it that whenever it went click all it got was a hum. The higher level supervising program asked it what it was supposed to get, and the low level supervising program said that it couldn't remember exactly, but thought it was probably more of a sort of distant satisfied sigh, wasn't it? That it was all it was getting.The higher supervising program considered this and didn't like it. It asked the low level supervising program what exactly it was supervising and the low level supervising program said it couldn't remember that either, just that it was something that was meant to go click, sigh every ten years or so, which usually happened without fail. It had tried to consult its error look-up table but couldn't find it, which was why it had alerted the higher level supervising program to the problem.The higher level supervising program went to consult one of its own look-up tables to find out what the low level supervising program was meant to be supervising. It couldn't find the look-up table.
