Wow, had no idea the article would become so popular.

I wrote the article and would just like to make a few points.

I am NOT a hacker. I don't claim to be. I'm just a geek that's curious about network security. They called it "A hacker story" because this is what hacking is to the general populace.

I understand that REAL hacking is completely different.

The point of the article is this:

It's REALLY easy for even a non-hacker to get all this information. I'm not saying to stop using open netqworks, just be careful what you do on them. That's all.

Thanks everyone for reading it.
