Firstly, I have no interest in wreaking unnecessary havoc. I think it's childish and will eventually get you arrested. My interests are purely for defensive purposes. So when I see stuff like this (below) I tend to get a little overly... uhm yeah.

What we have here is a classic example of a dumbass. Those that might be new and seeing this. Stay away from hackforums... Also I'm not going to troll on that site but if Dark Spec is active here - (on second thought I'll keep that bit to myself) GTFO you piece of shit.
Moving on with my point.
We are all familiar with the term "script kiddie" but I was thinking about just how hazardous and dangerous they can really be. Any member here if they looked in the right spot, could easily get their hands on some serious software and commit crimes in a matter of minutes. Dark Spec here claims to have control of a significantly sized botnet and is continuously asking about how to implement various tools (like blackshades) for more advanced attacks. This kid is 15 and represents all that is negative about a hacker, and in the eyes of someone who is inexperienced (ie the general innocent public) he is a serious serious threat.

OK, really now with my point. I feel that it is highly important to stay up to date on the script kiddie techniques. I think we should share, be aware, and perform some digital surgery on these tools/techniques to learn what they are capable of, how easily they can be manipulated, and how to defend against them. That being said, I wanted to throw this out there because I do not want to cross over into breaking HTS rules here. But I think we should be willing and able to share enough about the black hat side of hacking to be considered dangerous if used inappropriately. I do not wish to encourage illegal activity, but I would like to be able to discuss these items in a professional and adult manner. This would obviously not allow stupid questions like, "How can I hack facebook... er because I want to know for security reasons lolz."
Anyone else have any opinions on this? I just think that as a community we have enough shared knowledge and talent to really push into the latest well of information.
