Oh good! All my experiences prior to this had suggested that Fadia and hangers-on were lame-arse wannabes cashing in on typical media ignorance of computer and networking technology (and especially of "hacking"), pumped up with egregiously oversold regional pride of the "the success of <person or group> shows that <suitable regional descriptors> are the equal, if not better, of Western <whatevers>" kind -- precisely the sort of BS that was embarrassingly evident (if you had a clue and could be seen as being a member of the relevant "<suitable regional descriptors>" group) in the championing of Chen Ing-Hau in Taiwan when he was identified as the writer of CIH, the most destructive computer virus to date, and in the similar championing in the Philippines of the "success" of Onel de Guzman and/or associates for the writing of VBS/LoveLetter. I'm especially encouraged to note that the "screening of students will be done very carefully" -- that "very" is especially encouraging! -- and that the fingerprints (such a common evidentiary artifact in computer crimes) of enrollees will be recorded. But most of all, my concerns are totally ameliorated because "their [the successful candidates'] psychic movements [will be] monitored". Way to go. Did you write the psychic movement monitoring code Wood? Sounds right up your alley... But you know what would be really cool? If we could track all those "psychic movements" in real time on a public web page or similar, so we could be sure none of these "ethical hackers" were slipping and straying too close to our servers... ... Come one Wood -- surely even you would have to admit the press on this is a crock... Regards, Nick FitzGerald _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
