Greg,
Let me spell it out crystal clear so you can understand. Are you, or
are you not, the Gregory
Taylor referenced in the URL's I sent below?
Albert P.
(signing his real name so Susan won't remove him from the list)
maturity in its purest form.

Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2004 17:17:42 -0800I've noticed a number of shining stars in the network engineering
industry
have graced us
with their presence and infinite wisdom in the past few days, including
Gregory Taylor. I
can't help but wonder if this is the same who launched multi-gigabit
DDoS attacks against
IRC servers and major ISP's recently:Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=osekCoincidence? You decide. Better yet, call his mother at 1-253-
475-1227,
and let her know
you don't approve of his hacking activities. If enough of us putthe
pressure on, it's possible
he'll be grounded, and his computer priviledges will be revoked.It's
happened before, it can
happen again.For those of you wondering, "Xpert Web Builders" (XWB.COM) is bogus.
They don't operate a
network, they're a sole proprietorship tech support and web devgroup,
run by some clue-
challenged kids who don't even have the cashflow needed to investin
a post-paid cellular
phone.Then there's Andrew Kirch, aka "trelane", who just published a
fascinating
(albeit highly
technically inaccurate, and bearing little or no basis in reality)whitepaper on the "script kiddie culture":
http://software.newsforge.com/software/04/02/28/0130209.shtml
Only problem is, he hangs out on EFNet in #sigdie, a channel known
in
security circles as a
place where large-scale DDoS attacks, usually involving 1000'sof
drone nets or otherwise compromised machines, are coordinated.
Takes
one to know one, I
guess. The fun doesn't stop there: he's publicly admitted to helpingpacket IRC servers before!
I'm still working on building a rap sheet on Kirch's friend, Brian
Bruns,
and their "Summit
Open Source Development Group" (which, by all accounts, is a
legitimate-looking front for their not-so-legitimate activities).If
anyone has any info, mail
me privately, and I'll summarize.Concerned about your privacy? Follow this link to get
