Yes, This kid ran a site that had a lot of tips on old
Windows Registry tips which was fun in old days. He
hasn't grown-up ever since . His first book had topic
that dealt with 'Bypassing Windows Screen-saver
passwords' and his second book had long C code that
helps you to find IP address of your friend using
AOL/Yahoo Messenger. Well, this isn't stuff any
serious system's admin ever reads nor the stuff that
is suitable for security consultants.

One of the employee of Dlink told me the ruckus this
kid created for them when they sort his 'skills' for
them. He later gave them some hot air advice in
airport lobby and charged them a bomb without even
stepping into their campus.

I wish this guy stops using the phrase 'hacking'. Its
out-right insult for the true hacker community.


Cheers
