Netangels, has over the last few years recruited Hackers,

mostly porn / terrorists
Then collect the logged E mail addresses etc and pass these onto the CIA.
Now Netangels is a setup where people being stalked etc go to for help, they recruited the Hackerz that defaced certain
O B L [ insert your own swear words about this freak ]
sites after September 11th, these registered members "kind off" have the backing from the CIA.?

A nice piece of information over one grc.com about a 13 year old ( windows user ) using a denial of service attack to remove two T1 servers,but being under age and not causing $5000 the FBI ...
well read it

Cracking, has nothing to do with Hacking, mostly carried out by windows users down loading Programs to stress test Webmasters OWN server, mostly brute force programs to gain User/passowords
Cracking is also considered when you gain those illegal
Crackz to make your downloaded trail version full versions

@thetechfreak: [qoute] most crackers use linux though, never herd of 'red hat' used before . this is funny but not TRUE

Hackers use Linux due to the fact most servers that get hacked are UNIX based, after all the web was designed for UNIX, not as many would think WindowZ.
Also Linux is open source. Therefore all my Programs etc are Legal, I will not get into the Windowz movement any more
But why should  Linux user Crack Seriallz to free software, ?
thats for windowz users

there are many other forms like Phreaking etc.

At the end of the day, it isnt right.
