'My own opinion is that they are a group of talented 'Blackhats' who are really just taking the piss out of whitehat security groups'

I agree, but I don't think they are limiting themselves to whitehat groups. I don't think they make the distinction between white and black, rather their mindset is GOBBLES or not. If these classifications were based on the 3 basic colors, then they would probably be some abstract tripped out color. i.e. a breed of their own

* -[RaFa], Ambassador to the Underworld

* -pr0ix, Director of Slander and Misinformation

Have you not noticed yet that all the preludes in the literature is meant to piss other people off? I'd feel comfortable betting that these RaFa and pr0ix characters aren't too pleased with being mocked. Furthermore, I bet GOBBLES is laughing at their post-exploit commentary.

Many security.industry people complain about the ramblings. They say it's a waste of time and unprofessional or whatever. I think it's kinda nice to read an advisory that doesn't just bore the snot out of you. They have a little personality, which is lacking in todays numbered list IT industry. The beauty is that in the 'ramblings' you can't distinguish truth from fiction. Only until later is it apparent what was real - and you're still unsure about the rest. This is what pisses off the know-it-all's and control freaks. a.k.a security.industry They can't stand not knowing, and to add insult to injury they are made a fool in the process. Maybe sec.ind would be happy with a penile implant in the brain.

As for remarks made about people in the 'scene', it's representative of the kidieness that a simple slanderous statement would piss off someone hiding behind a nic. I don't know for a fact that these people get pissed, but since the comments continue I'm sure they do. Pissing these people off seems to not be much of a challenge to GOBBLES.

In conclusion to MY rambling of sorts, I will say that

maybe I'm just a mean person, but seeing everyone getting all pissed off gives me a chuckle too. Sooo, Spectators hang on to your butt...sec.industry keep on bitching...scene keep on whatever you do...GOBBLES rock on!
