cyber-criminal activities. You've heard of "hands-on
demonstrations"? This place specializes in "hands-off
demonstrations" -- i.e., illustrative exercises

clearly tell you not to push. So far as I can

L0pht
Heavy Industries: "Just a bunch of
hackers who got together and started working
on projects together. One of the projects turned
out to be L0pht.com. There are remnants of different
groups that make up L0pht such as RDT, cDc,
RL, etc. We didn't start this thing off to make
money. We did this, and still do, out of a love
we have for technology and making it do things
that it might not have originally been meant
to."
