Blaming the Good Samaritan
Houston Carr, 2008-09-26

Good Samaritan? Houston Carr shouldnt be allowed to post here again 2008-10-05

Penetration testing is all about morals and ethics. He obviously violated that by attacking systems he had no right to. If the university was worried about their security they would hire a security firm. The guy should be expelled and legal matters taken against him to use it as an example. I'm curious, can I walk into a bank and steal 9 million in cash and blow up the safe and then later on go back and give it back and say hey guys you have some security problems? Houston Carr should be banned from being able to write topics on here, hes obviously ethically challenged.
