Just to let you know, it uses the same encryption scheme that can be crack by progs the like of jack the ripper and cracker jack . It just requires that you format the text correctly in the standard unix format. But you definitely don't have the right to ask for payment, That's just whack!
Let's just forget about this particular case and concentrate on the meritum. What is wrong in calling a company , saying: "Your network is preety vulnerable to every exploit around. Script kiddies are probably hacking you 3 times a day. If you pay me well, i can tell you what's wrong and even fix it, if you don't , then bye bye and i'm not gonna waste my time". 1. It's not a black mail of any kind cause when they don't cooperate, you just forget about them. 2. Everything looks legal 3. Maybe it looks a bit like tele marketing, but it MAY work (aspecialy when you speak with management , not the technical staff). Just my 2 cents. Brush
