OT: Quote of the day

Posted by R. Neal

Regarding the new law making it a federal crime to anonymously harass people on the internets:
"There is this thing called NetFlow that reports to a log every IP traffic flow. You just play connect the dots. All core routers everywhere in the world run it. So if your half-ass ISP doesn't, then the ISPs ISP does. You can't hide. That being said, you can't stop the best crackers out there, you can only live with them. There are less than 1000 people in the world who have the skills to defeat all forms of detection. 900 of them work for the NSA watching you."
Heh. Indeed.
