Was wondering around some tech news sites and found an article regarding the notorious pro-napster hacker- "pimpshiz" - I guess he got raided by the feds after being in the media for a while, back in 2000 -- now he is running a professional security software website. looks pretty good...actually pretty resourceful.

www.sub-seven.com (http://www.sub-seven.com)

also has some sort of security portal which i found useful to help secure my IE6, with their recent November cookie flaws and all...dunno, just thought this would be some interest to the community, considering the fact most people probably heard of this guy

hi

i may be wrong but i doubt this is the forum to post this in...

besides, i highly doubt you know what your talking about. I dont think pimpshiz would start something like that.

hehe, i personally know pimpshiz, he has a nice software package that he is working on and node9 he has, even though he is under survellance he is allowed to start something like that.

:eek:

Would you actually trust his software?

I know of some hackers that hide behind security portals.

I always find pretty suspiscious messages written by "Complete Newbies" (1 message), lauding X or Y.
Ususally, they are the same person as X or Y.
