This is totally unrelated, but I am really sick of people making accusations like this when someone is simply looking for information. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Well

Not that I have any information related to helping someone do this, but of course he could be a student interested in security, a white hat hacker. The thing is, I would hate that me or someone else gave information to someone, resulting to help a scriptkiddie or similar. Ethical hacking/cracking or ddosing sco/microsoft may be fun to read about, but it eventually damages the linux community and are seldom done by linux evangelists, but more often done by people who would like to rationalise the thrill of bringing a million dollar company to its knees.

Is it really not a valid question? The information could be used for evil could it not?

Thanks your opnions

Thanks your reply, sh1ft and krisealv

As sh1ft told, i want to know only the bot realted the Telenor news.
i am NOT planning to ddos attack, if test the bot, iwill do the bot
in the closed network from the Internet.

On the other hand, i understand krisealv's opinion.
If the company is attacked, the people working on the company lost
a lot of money to restore their business. so, security information is
needed to be closed from scriptkiddie.

So, i give up the information gain for the bot.
im sorry to be warried everyone on this Fourm
