No... not me mate, i did however feature on the Guardian home page for a vulnerability i told Gawker.com about
Don't you have to do 'The Knowledge' or something ?
Nah. Loads of it is very simolento pick up, the reverse engineering is the real genius stuff.
Finding vulnerabilities in applications or sites etc, a bit more crafty, but simple to understand.
I haven't messed with hacking since the early 80's when someone hacked W.O.P.R., a United States military supercomputer programmed to predict possible outcomes of a nuclear war. The hacker got it to run a simulated game "Global Thermo Nuclear War" but unfortunately the simulation causes a national nuclear missile scare and nearly started WWIII.
Are you Matthew Broderick?
