Not sure what this place is really about.
Not sure what the voting process and 'joining' really means though. (sigh) Oh well.
Welcome me, 23 yr, CompSci grad who opened up his own coffee/ice cream shop in May. The lull of the colder months is approaching so I have more free time to join new communities (j/p)!http://www.theriverelora.com/Not sure what this place is really about. At first I thought it was a big gaming community (which I am not part of), but now I see that it is an all around general forum for intelligent people. Not sure what the voting process and 'joining' really means though. (sigh) Oh well. Hello.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

One glance over the post and I assumed it was a spam bot. Haha.Then I realized we're so cool, spam bots avoid posting here. Or are pwned instantly.Welcome. :0
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
Most spam bots wouldn't talk about a joining process. Could be a really good one, though.But anyhow, hello!
Membership also grants you access to iago and his computer.
how did you find this if you don't play games (and thus probably weren't on battle.net)

That's right. Sidoh goes to school with felons. Don't mess with him.
Hah, tehnet! I go to school (well, the same university. he's a different major) to the guy who hosts tehnet.
Does TehUser host tehnet.org?

I don't think showing administrators proof of concepts on public machines in your library is a good idea, but it shouldn't be a felony though.

It shouldn't be any different from breaking into somebody's house, sitting on their couch, and watching their TV until they came home. In any case, the situation was more complicated than that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a proof of concept just showing that an vulnerability exists, without actually using it for anything malicious?I'd say it's more like opening the door, leaving it alone and then demonstrating it for the person who owns the house so that they can fix the door, but maybe my definition is all screwy?I've heard things about the situation, but I figured they were just rumors... I'm guessing I don't know much about it because I didn't really know anyone in the vL group very well around the time it happened.
Yes, that's correct. However, the person in question (to summarize) found the vulnerability, used it to install software for his own purposes, and eventually alerted the staff. So I think the situation I posed makes sense.
So basically he walked in to the house, made some popcorn and watched TV for an hour, then left leaving the door open? Gotcha.
