I like the idea of picking freshly fried business man from the park bench.

Even places of rest are being invaded by the digital revolution.

I hate laptops since they create more work for people...because now you can work where you couldn't take your PC before...planes, trains etc etc

 

[Wij]

Yeh, but you can also surf for pr0n

Brings a whole new area for hackers though, they could hack from a park and never get caught

that's what you think

 

[Perplex]

NICE! I live about 20 miles from Bury....I'm gonna go have a go

 

[WPKenny]

Don't a lot of hackers just go into a phone box and take the phone apart to hack though?

 

[Perplex]

lol, no

 

[Wij]

maybe in films

 

[WPKenny]

No, not on films you techno illiterates. I know for a fact hackers used to take phones apart in phone boxes and wire them up to a modem.
I've seen them do it on those crappy late night docu's where they fuzz out the people's faces.

So ner. You're dead! I shot you first!

heh nah. hackers sit in apartments with laptops cracking mainframes, even tho they have no net connex and/or phone availible. they use highly graphical software that their 'tops somehow manage to render even tho it's so visually rich that it would prolly need an sgi megacluster to even hit 5fps. they have little 'black boxes' that can crack any code and can decrypt the toughest zillion bit keys in real time without breaking a sweat. they have highly advanced database engines disguised to look exactly like conventional office software that can search any online database in the world without connecting or even logging in.
don't you watch movies?

*parry* *counter* *ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP*

Often its a case of finding a hole left open in security...not breaking encryption, since it still takes shit loads of power just to crack 56bit let alone 128bit.

56bit key were cracked under test via a Distributed net method of pure power I believe although I read about it some time ago I fail to remeber how long it took.

If it was real it would be a load of spotty goiks sat around in a lameoid irc channel l33t-speaking shit at each other until someone stumbles across a new |-|4><0|2 script which means they can take down any IIS server by typing in an IP. Then they would write a lame message on it boasting how much bigger their cocks are than the other lamoid hacker group in their channel

No, you prat. What you are thinking of is called "phreaking" in which it's possible to get free calls out of phoneboxes, or other peoples home telephone set ups. This was also used for a while as a method for..."hacking" as you so eloquently put it, but seeing as most phone boxes are now tougher to break into physically than fort knox, no, hackers don't do that anymore. Anything else you'd like me to correct you on son?

You see Ethan Hunt do this in Mission:Impossible in the phonebox. Remember?? He unscrews something of the phone and he shouts '' THEY ARE DEAD, MY TEAM IS DEAAAAAAAD!!!!!! THEY KNEW WE WERE COMING MAN, THEY *KNEW* WE WERE COMING, THE LIST IS IN THE OPEN!!

I always thought he was installing some kind of anti-bug/scrambler thing but no! He was just too cheap to pay for a 10p phone call.

Bond would never have done that.
