I'm no script kiddie.
I can program in Machine Code/Assembly, LISP, COBOL, FORTRAN, PERL, C, C++, GCC, ASP, JAVA, VB, VBA, UNIX shell scripting (BASH mainly, SH & SCSH) and several others.
ALL SELF TAUGHT! NEVER done a computer course in my life!
I'm a Grey Hat hacker.
I was one of the first people in Australia to be on the Internet. I helped setup and test one of Australia's first ISP's.
I built my own first 300 baud modem from components (resistors, capacitors, etc. I am also into electronics) and used to hack into several bulletin board sites but, my favorite was a bulletin board service was in Liverpool Australia called Golden Wings. From there, ..." 
I was also one of the first people to use Napster. I have EVERY song, I've ever loved in my entire life! I was ripping music not long after CD's were invented!
I began programming back when I was 12 years old (1979).
I learned BASIC on a hand held TRS80 and an Apple][C
I used to be a member of 2600 Australia (when they used to exist - still got the t-shirt)
I can physically build computers from scratch. I can repair computers!
I can configure UNIX servers - HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, FTP, DHCP, SSH, POP3, IMAP, NFS, SMTP...
I can program in many, many different languages but I prefer to program in C/C++ and VB.
I love TCP/IP and love UNIX socket programming.
I eat, sleep and breathe TCP/IP. I know it back to front, upside down, inside out and any other way there is to know it. I LOVE reading the RFC's.
Bob Khan, Vint Cerf & Jon Postel are my idols!
I own ALL of, and have read many times, W. Richard Stevens books.
I know a LOT and I taught myself. Never did a computer course in my life.
I AM WICKED SMART but no-one knows it and no-one cares.
I'm also an expert with OpenBSD and pf, packet filtering, firewall building, intrusion detection (tripwire etc.).
I can "sniff out" people's networks, nmap, Ethereal/Wireshark, Windows Network Monitor.
I could hack your computer. I Know how to orchestrate a DOS/DDOS attack. I also know how to combat a DOS/DDOS attack. I know what a 'Denial Of Service' attack is!
Very well! As I said, I'm no script kiddie.
In the old days, I used to hack into kiddie porn sites and take them down. I never left a calling card for them.
For sites that just had lame security, I used to break in but I'd leave them a calling card, telling them that I got in and they had X amount of time to fix their security hole (because if I got in, others could - and could delete all their stuff or worse, use their computers for no good). My calling card said, If they didn't fix their security problem, I'd post it on Wiretap and they'd be open slather for any Black Hat that wanted to get their hands on them (but I would never have done that!) I would have just told them what they needed to patch and that would have been that!
I could do someone - some company A LOT OF GOOD!! !
I'm feeling really neglected because I am truly smart, Wicked smart, and no-one wants to utilise my talent!
I'm one WICKED SMART Aspie! But no one wants to utilise my talents
I'm always overlooked in life. And for no good reason. I don't know why.
