Let's get ones to take advantage of masa's color blindness.

:) I'm just open that way.

I am not a bot (give me any test you want), and I try to hack almost every website that I think might be hackable. I do it for fun. If I succeeded, I would merely mention it to the web designer/owner. I do not hack to cause damage or for any non-emotional personal gain. I do it for the challenge, and because I enjoy trying to work out a problem.

More specifically about the bot part, I've got more wins than losses, and I don't have enough Java experience to be able to program a bot to do that. It would be a nice challenge however. Because of this, I think its fairly clear that I'm not a spam bot.

Looks to me like some people like me and some don't. Eh well, like me or not, I can do some coding and writing and would be interested in a group project.

... I hate sausages.

In other news, I think we should do a fake captcha. Something with a lambda in it but is otherwise really easy to tell what it is. If they get it right, they're a bot. If they type cursewords, they're human.

Or just a field that's like "Are you a spambot?"

Damn Lambda Symbol. I can't remember what website I got that pic from, but I wanted to register on it :/

Heh. I don't think there's actually much wrong with that. Far better security holes be discovered by people not looking to abuse them, after all.

Although I remember one forum I'm on which at one point got deleted by some script kiddie hacker who proceeded to go "oh, don't worry, I made a backup first... wait, oops, looks like it didn't work!". So, umm, at least be a little careful.

Doesn't that kinda apply to everyone, ever?

Not Andriex. Everyone loves Andriex.

I am very security conscious, and wouldn't take a risk like that. I'd create a new thread and explain its purpose, then proceed to hack and play with it.

That it does.

I'm going to go out on a limb here (and be a jerk) and say that I have no opinion of him.

So, anyway, now that I have kicked off a round of conversation concerning hackers, bots, bot programmers, and Andriex, I'm going to try and redirect the conversation and ask this: are we doing a community project, or is this dead in the water?

Please, redirect as much as possible. I'm so totally fine with not being the topic of conversation in some thread I don't follow.

This thread lay dead for more than a year before you posted, EK. What do you think.

hm...I didn't look at that. well, then there we go. It shall probably lay dead for several more years until someone like me comes along again and posts without looking at dates. twould be fun though, perhaps something can be organized eventually.
