Well I don't see why everyone is slagging each other off, because if the
sysops at the site crack is being run at `illegally' don't notice a job
eating processor they deserved to get sad geeks cracking (N.B. cracking not
hacking...hacking is coding and requires skill; cracking is *SAD* 
irrespondsible, generally adolesent and thats all that can said about it other 
than get a life to those that practise it)

Yes also I no the man who intially invented crack and he was an ex-hacker 
style cracker who saw how silly it all really was and so he stopped.

To be honest my view is people who have there systems hacked usually have
fundamental flaws in how they run their system e.g. no noticing large
processes probably called crack (after all most people that use it wouldn't
have the savy to change the name) or not reading telnet logs etc with all
the failed logins from a defined place.

Well thats all I have to say on the matter, because my view on the subject
is hacking is a skill that has been grossly mis-represented by the media and
about the only author every to attempt to put this fact write is the author
of the Cukoos Egg, Clifford Stoll(I think probably got the spelling wrong).

That all folks
