Greene <tcgreene () bellatlantic net> [Edited only enough to get past everyone's filters... - WK] i know it's hard to accept that people whose carefully-contrived anti-establishment media image we've all admired (and envied) can be such sh*ts, but there it is. you're in denial, bud. the proof exists. i can't publish it for two reasons: 1) the source has requested anonymity; and 2) the L0pht cheese-eater involved would be subject to retaliation. if my proof is cr*p, then @Stake will sue The Register and win their case in court. but don't hold your breath, lol. --tcg On Friday 19 July 2002 09:00, InfoSec News wrote:

Mr. Greene all but admits to publishing little more than rumour and cr*p with no fact checking or basis in reality. I would hope that bile of this nature does not pollute what is perhaps one of the few non-corporate security mailing lists left today. "InfoSec News was known to say....."On Monday I reported a speech by Gweeds at H2K2, in which the grand hypocrisy of hackers weaseling their way from the scene to the mainstream by forming security outfits was denounced very nicely. A torrent of e-mail denouncing him soon followed, some of which I've posted here.Posted unattributed. Perhaps in the future showing the author of a given mail may make it worth a little more; carry more weight or legitmacy. It can be assumed that since things like "facts" can easily errode all of this series of articles, Mr. Greene may find it in his best interest to not actually mention where anything came from.
