Forum: The Classroom Topic: "WHIZ KID" my @$$! started by: UltraWideSCSI Posted by UltraWideSCSI on Jun. 03 2000,15:29
Can you believe this crap, apparently there is some dude in this Middle East country who everyone is calling a WHIZ KID, but I think he is full of SHIT! Take a look at the web site he made that brought him all this "fame":< http://www.ohitariq.net > Look at his "genius programs" for removing VBS VIRUSES!!! They are like 2 MEGABYTES EACH!!! AND a story about him got published in this magazine, check out this excerpt from the cover feature titled "Silicon Super Kid": "Two months after the launch on January 23 this year, however, the Website was unlawfully accessed. Someone replaced its homepage with a cartoon boasting that the site would remain hacked for 72 hours. Barwani managed to reclaim the site within six and a half hours. "The success of the portal created many admirers but a few enemies as well. A company hired an international hacker for the job. I would have managed to free the site within two hours if the hacker had not been supported locally," Barwani claims. He has almost finished writing a book on the hacking of the portal and who was behind it. "It is going to be a bestseller here when it is released," he says refusing to offer details.

Sure this person is a total lamer, but we must look at this closer.Ignore the person at the center of this for just one moment. Am I the only one here who realizes that a 'hacker' (enough though this one is super lame) is finally getting publicity for something good and not something bad? ------------------ Posted by Rhydant on Jun. 04 2000,00:59
i dont get it!where in the hell of that site does it say anything about some frickin whiz kid? Posted by SLATE on Jun. 04 2000,01:06

well, all I'm saying, is this guy did something remotly close to hacking and he's getting lots of publicity. We all know when the media thinks 'hacker' it thinks bad guys breaking into big companys causing bad things.------------------ Posted by SLATE on Jun. 04 2000,02:29
remotely close to hacking?writing a program is remotely close? if so, then im a major hacker cause i wrote a lot of programs... or am i misunderstanding you??? ------------------ http://www.the-streets.net modellers needed!!! Posted by Sithiee on Jun. 04 2000,08:03
I write lots of programs in comp sci and visual basic class (VB sucks ass)....does this make me supal33t?

This person is doing something any joe blow off the street would consider hacking. That means the media too.*sigh* I'm not going to continue, because no one seems to see my point ------------------ Posted by SLATE on Jun. 04 2000,11:57
dont give up...explain! and its opinions, so what exactly are you giving up on? ------------------ http://www.the-streets.net modellers needed!!! Posted by Sithiee on Jun. 04 2000,14:32
i felt i should reclarify, my previo-us statement was supposed to be taken as a sarcastic one.

I got you nigel, and i agree w/ ya.many people a much more deserving of the recognition than this kid, but at least it's good for the community! ------------------ Posted by matalicmongoose on Jun. 05 2000,16:56
I wonder what dade "z3r0k3wl" murphy would make of him?
Posted by UltraWideSCSI on Jun. 05 2000,20:04
What I meant was, that qoute from the magazine is him talking about how he managed to get his stupid website UN-HAXORED, when a hacker hired by a company that hates HIM, deleted it's contents.
Posted by Sithiee on Jun. 05 2000,21:34
im sure everyone will think me un-l33t for this, but if you just reposted the site to the server, wouldnt that effectivly un-hax0r it?

Posted by Sithiee on Jun. 06 2000,21:57
