Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

What do you guys think of him, I think he's an amazing hacker and the best computer expert today. Do hackers respect him?

Depends on what you define as "hacker". He's pretty sharp, I think, but I don't see him as some kind of hacker/cracker/slacker/etc. He can solve computer problems, but I really doubt he knows much about programming. Then again, I haven't listened to him much, so I could be wrong.

EDIT: This thread should probably go into T&T since Laporte is a computer professional but not a hacker.

Leo is not a hacker in the common use of the world. That is why he listens to that spinrite guy.
