A raid on the alleged author of a well-known hacker toolkit is raising eyebrows among electronic civil libertarians, and putting security researchers on guard.

its ME!

hi !

the true facts are.. that you guys know nothing 1. about torn, 2. about the rootkit namely "tornkit"..

lets hit the nail on the head:

1. torn is very cool dude, but he really cant even code other things than shell scripts.. the entire kit was written in ANSI C.

2. there are 4-5 other persons who wrote the codes for him.. calling himself *NOT* a hacker, but the highest level script kid..

3. busting him is very neccessary in the view of the internet.. (this is aint no joke) and he got busted.. but the large ddos attacks wont stop.. at least danny-boy is still free.. just as markland, apache are... they can cover the tracks of torn..
