    With all this talk of the government doing this and that, computer
systems thats only job is to snatch "keyworded" email and such, did anyone
ever stop to wonder why or how the government is so powerful? The answer is
US. Without people, government has no power or reason for existance. I have
never called myself a hacker (some of my actions may be that of one, writing
code being one of them.) but would be QUICKLY labeled one for the topics I
am curently involved in. I'm 20 something and work tech support for an
internet service provider. The LAN I work on is NT, an OS I'm writing
exploits for. So one day I overheard my team lead talking to IT&S about a
problem they had with the LAN. I happen to say I "read" something about this
& that, talking about how I protect my personal network. Just some basic
network security.I was thanked for the input and then went about my daily
work.

    So I go to lunch and when I come back I found IT&S waiting at the entry
checkpoint, asking me to come with them. I go only to find my team lead with
MY box in the IT&S room, searching the drives for "hacking related
information". They found a "ping of death" I was fucking around with. They
asked me question for about an hour and then sent me home. So the next day I
got to work expecting to clean out my cube only to find they moved it, to a
bigger one. Now I communicate with IT&S daily, working on ways to better
protect their LAN (This LAN gets fucked with by the outside world all the
time, they are one of the biggest ISPs in the world & the service SUCKS. I'm
sure you can quess who it is.)

  The point is I am nobody in this company, just another worker bee, but
they know the power one person can have.
                                  As long as we stay worker bees, the queen
will always have control.
