Several journalists have approached me at HIP and afterwards for quotes about cracking. It is interesting that merely by showing up at HIP and by having a suspiciously pseudonym-like name (hey, my parents were inspired by New Age psychology or something, okay?) I have apparently gained the instant reputation of being into cracking. So in case any journalists out there were considering asking me how to crack Tamagotchis (I kid you not-- that was the topic): I work in computer security. I devise systems. I write code. I examine systems for weaknesses. I test systems. But I don't crack. The last time I wrote a Trojan log-in screen was in 9th grade. When I made a phone call at HIP I used my pre-paid phone card instead of using the cracked phone booth for free. I pay for most of my software, other than Microsoft operating systems. So look elsewhere for your cracker quotes. Sincerely, Zooko, Journeyman Hacker
