Hello,
I personally at one point agreed with entirely fixing the system, now my view is actually varied.
I don't have a huge deal to add to this thread and I will refrain from being childish.
However I will state clearly that it is my opinion, although I cannot and will not attempt to speak for him, that Dazza did not release anything until the Yahoo! drama circle of self proclaimed hackers and gods grew to the point where, it was sheerly hilarious to watch them decimate eachother in a futile attempt to look better than they are, and more knowledgeable. I defend Dazza because there have been several years of misunderstandings and unlike 95% of the forum users, I can vouch for him as a programmer.
My outlook more matches Dazza's than that of this thread, and that is what Yahoo! have achieved. I used to try and be the good guy too.
When people take take take, rip your techniques, rebadge then claim you write malicious code, eventually there is no option but to revoke their access and privileges to utilise your works and efforts to protect them, just so they can talk mad smack and look good. I went through the same thing as the aforementioned exploitologist did, so I know exactly why he does what he does, and I absolutely support that route. Make no mistake about it.
Such is life.
There is only one policy to adopt going forward. No mercy.
Thank you,
Lee.
