Nix Hacker/zorro: "Kinderporno"-jäger ist FBI-Konfident-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Vigilanten vor dessen Hacker/künsten die Pädophilen im Netze zitterten. Statt um einen "Kinderporno"-jäger dürfte es sich bei "Valor" aka "Se7en" um einen Angeber & gutbezahlten Konfidenten verschiedener US-Geheimdienste handeln. Dass er kein echter Hacker war, erklären übereinstimmend Pete Shipley [aka Evil Pete] & Brian Martin [aka Mea Culpa, Jericho], die beide hoch angesehene Mitglieder der schlimmen Defcon-Gemeinde sind. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Steve Silberman 9:20 a.m. 8.Feb.99.PST ... In the past two years, profiles in Forbes, the London Independent, the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, Wired News, and many other publications have portrayed a proclaimed ex- hacker with the charismatic pseudonyms "Christian Valor" and "Se7en" as an old-school renegade with a cause: exposing the identities -- and trashing the hard drives -- of those who traffic in sexual imagery of children. .... In fact, the primary target of Valor's hacking has turned out to be the news media. ... "He never deleted a single kiddie porn server himself. He's a compulsive liar, always looking for some new thing to impress people with," said Brian Martin, an independent consultant known among hackers as jericho, who lived and worked with Valor. ... Pete Shipley, senior security architect for one of the Big Six accounting firms, administers the dis.org domain where Valor had an email account and a Web page. "I've never seen him demonstrate any expertise in accessing any system," Shipley added .... These days, Valor downplays his role as an anti-porn vigilante. He earns his living teaching courses on Internet security to industry, law enforcement, and military officials with a Southern California-based firm called New Dimensions International. NASA, Air Force, Navy, Army, and FBI personnel take his US$1,395 three-and-a half-day courses on "Maximum Internet Security" and "Internet Predators" on government time. NDI instructors are employed to develop secure systems for mission-critical clients like the Department of Defense. .... Discovery Channel Canada Online interviewed him in RealAudio and paid tribute to the way Valor "dish(es) out justice." The accompanying article cited Valor's assertion that Usenet newsgroups dedicated to child porn garner over 7,000 new images daily, a figure repeated in article after article. A program on the Microsoft Research site that monitors newsgroup posting patterns called Netscan indicates that number was inflated ten or twentyfold. Brian Martin said that he truly liked Valor, but he got tired of being lied to. .... Martin finally added his old friend to his list of "charlatans" on a Web page tracking frauds on both sides of the hacker/media fence. .... Rabey says, however, that the TV hack was faked, and that the pictures Valor displayed to reporters were not child pornography from the Net, but snapshots of a former girlfriend. When I confronted Valor with a mass of evidence that his tales of pedophiles "screaming the name 'Se7en' as they go down in flames" were unverifiable, he admitted that, after remotely deleting three or four files in a couple of nights of trolling around, he "didn't have too much success." What he was doing, he said, "wasn't even really hacking." ... full story http://www.wired.com/news/news/culture/story/17789.html relayed by Dr. Verebics Janos hanga@mail.matav.hu -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-02-09 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
