The article I am going to link you to here includes an interview between the journalist of the article, and the hacker that managed to precision hack the results of the Time Magazine's online poll of who the most influential person is. They chatted on an irc channel to complete the interview.
The fun thing about this article is that I understand the hack, I should, they fully explain it in detail in this article, and I actually have the tools right here on my computer to easily duplicate the hack.8-)
One of the posted replies to the article from the crowd, spills the beans on the precise information needed to bypass Time's lame attempt to validate the voters, making it possible to write my own vote hacking scripts in simple Linux bash scripts, utilizing the wget command to send the vote requests.Inside the precision hack.
I'm beginning to think that most of the hackers are using an operating system like Linux or BSD, due to the many hacking tools I have discovered are part of the Linux software repositories, available as free, open source programs anyone can use, and examine the source code of, to add their own improvements.
Due to this availability, I now have software that allows me to scan remote computers for security problems that can be taken advantage of. I am thinking of starting a "White Hat" hacker service of scanning remote computers for a small fee, and providing a Security Report to the computer's owner.
I will need a bit of practice with the scanning program, as well as needing to continue to educate myself on what vulnerabilities exist to realize this service. Keep watching to see when I start this service.Later, Ray
