      MSGID: 1:229/426 2F1BADC9       REPLY: 2004.bbscarni@1:154/700 2ba748e8       On 23 Nov 24 11:04:20, Nicholas Boel said the following to All:              NB> How could you possibly be hacked on port 23, running a BBS, aside from        NB> having some kind of backdoor in the software you're answering with        NB> (which you don't, so it's basically impossible without gaining sysop        NB> access)?              Dunno. When I asked politely this reason (And pointing out I have the source        code for the software I run), was just given the Nothingburger replies of       "Go look it up why XP sucks" or "Anythings possible, nothing is hackproof".              One bragged about hanging out online with superhackerz "who take down networks       for fun" to which I politely challenged him to go ahead and take my subnet       down while the popcorn gets ready. He never replied and vanished months later.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? (1:229/426)    |
