To be fair to those two:

  • Mitnick did much what he did before hacking was even a crime, and almost all of it before offensive cybersecurity was even a viable career option.
  • the damage caused by the entirety of ShadowCrew (4000 odd members) was a drop in the bucket compared to that caused by this single kid
  • neither of them had compulsion issues that would cause them to attempt to hack even while under surveillance.

They aren't talking about his autism. They're talking about his compulsion to do these acts. People, even autistics, don't go as far as he did to hack things while already under surveillance. That isn't an autism thing, something else is there.

Bruh, it's a bit much to be buying a whole ass new handset for.

Am a professional pentester/red teamer. You hit the nail on the head.

Pentesting is not all about the shit you can hack. A big part of it is presenting a professional face that suits can trust.

That is fundamentally incompatible with compulsively attacking and leaking billions of dollars worth of shit

His career in white hat cybersecurity is shot to fuck. No one will trust him enough after this

An 18 yo isn't gonna get fat stacks of green as a pentester.

The suits that decide salaries have different priorities. Like certs that are out of the price range of a teenager and years of professional experience.

This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.

You're forgetting a vitally important part of being a pentester.

Namely that they need to be trusted not to leak billions of dollars worth of trade secrets.

This kid is a prodigy as a black hat, but he'd be an embarrassment as a pentester.

520, (edited ) to piracy in I absolutely love VideoLAN's stance regarding patents

And that's fine. VLC does their own implementation of codecs so that's not an issue. It's the patents that make it an issue.

Way to spoil season 1 for me!

It's good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)

Aww congrats dude :)

It really did! It's a decent boost to my savings for sure

This may come as a shock to you, but a lot of westerners don’t believe in transexuality either.

Hey, we’re talking about one right now!

No, they believe that transsexuals are heathen abominations that should be stripped of all human rights and dignity. There is a difference.

Try to understand your way of life is not the only, or even the best, way of life.

Try to understand that your way of life should not get in the way of others trying to enjoy theirs when it doesn't harm other people.

We are talking about a western author broadcasting on a western platform in a western language, often directly in response to other westerners or western ideas of transsexuality. Makes it pretty clear who the target audience and culture is.

I do get what you mean, it's oversimplifying a complicated subject.
