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.

OK you people this is getting stupid. Your trying to 'pick the hairs off a frog.'

We can all do quotes and stupid sayings such as, 'It isn't the car that is dangerous, its the nut behind the wheel or behind the gun.' A gun isn't dangerous until picked up then that person decides if it a good thing for a good purpose or a bad thing to kill someone. Hitler good example, Osama good example and on and on.

We have to do something about this computer industry at some point. The real truth is, let the law determine what t0rns INTENT was. The you can all go froggy after that.

You fear, you fear that yourself will get caught. If someone is good nice person they will let 'victims' know they are vunerable. Unfortunately most bad crackers may get busted and get a little slap ont he hand then they get big fancy white collar jobs, how ironic is that.

Danny-Boy, t0rn Markland Apache Annilihat and all their 'brothers' are really bad people. You have the coders and the users I can't decide which I think is worse.

But get off this soap box whinning, we need more security not less in the Internet Industry.

I personally hope they hang t0rn and finally catch all his helpers and friends.
