The point is, should you be giving him "tips" on such a publicly accessible platform?
Quite frankly Andrew, I neither know nor care if Cal is an ex-blackhat. He showed up on full-disclosure asking a legitimate technical question of general interest, so in the spirit of full-disclosure, he's going to get pointed in the direction of useful information on the topic. It isn't like Cal got any "tips" that are both (a) secrets and (b) useful in hacking systems - if anything, the info has all been (a) well known in the Linux performance-tuning world, if not elsewhere, and (b) of more use for people *defending* their systems. But that's usually the case - there's a lot less dangerous secrets than there are insufficiently well known useful things.
