Let me state I *do not* have the whole story. But I think I have enough to warrant me clearing up some issues... Dave had NOTHING to do with the SYN flooding whitepaper and code in Phrack 48. Here's a clue: *Look at the author*... Not Dave. Someone called daemon9 (who is that guy, anyway?). The release of RealSecure and Phrack 48 are simply coincidental. Project Neptune (the SYN flooding article in Phrack) was completed and ready for release in July (it just happened that the rest of Phrack 48 wasn't...)... Anyone with any questions regarding Phrack or Neptune is free to write me mail... - -- [ route@infonexus.com ] Editor, Phrack Magazine / Member, Guild Corporation the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMjs51wtXkSokWGapAQG06AQAgWRS2MnbdcUFdn7nxYn5xQomFBTxh4sK T81ggvPCMhID3mOes2/PG7xpTvtgsmx+QFtYjhrwNYutgkfSZz4PvoxKhIGPX6eW NVxtPwg9zJlu1qqAYaVeVVWAzVnW32wbKTSsUEEl1kwsbMHDNwAHI5q0fPGeRJ4T sBAbYrFD55g= =5ck4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
