"Black Hat" is the new "Jarhead" for cyber warfare

arstechnica.com — From the head of the Department of Homeland Security to the Air Force and Army, the folks in charge of keeping us safe have a message for the hackers, phreaks, and geeks of the world: "Uncle Sam wants you! Even if you're out of shape and plan to stay that way!"

Who dugg this?

    "Sir, to hack, sir!"
    "So, you're a hacker!"
    "Sir, yes, sir!"
    "Private, I will give you exactly three seconds to wipe that grin off your face, otherwise I'll generate a buffer overflow and take control of your box using a known zero-day exploit in your TCP stack. Do you want that, private?"
    "Sir, no, sir!"
    "Then what are you going to do to stop me? Don't know, do you? You pathetic pieces of puke make me sick. Charlie Cong will be up in your ***** running denial-of-service attacks against your LAN before you know what's hit you! What programming languages do you know, Private Joker?"
    "Sir?"
    "Programming languages, Private Joker! You do know how to program, don't you?"
    "Sir, yes, sir. I can program in Ruby, sir. Also PHP. And some Javascript, sir!"
    "Javascript, eh? I suppose you know all about Ajax, private?"
    "Sir, yes, sir."
    "Get down on your knees, you worm! Ajax! You make me sick, you little Web 2.0 freak. Ruby, PHP, Javascript - they use that trash for developing 'social networking' sites. Well, we're not here to 'social' network, private. In the corps, when we network, it's very anti-social indeed. And we use the only languages that are fit for use by real men - C and assembler. At the end of my training course ... if you survive, and if you don't crack up or wander off with a compiler and put a stack frame through your brain, then you will be able to program on the bare metal. You'll be able to hack the kernel with nothing but a disk sector editor and have it running cleaner and faster than before. Now, drop and give me a race condition!"
  • inactive, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Too much text... eyes straining... attention span waning... uggh, frown ... dugg down.
  • cool4u2view, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Or we can have spelling errors and sentence fragments like you, MrB398, and simply not correct them... Please read your own post and FYI most of us don't care who posts an article..
  • mwrl, on 04/10/2008, -0/+2The Air Force accepts civilian contractors too for Cyber Warfare. You just have to pass a FBI background check.
  • dannomatic, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1One of the key things with hacking, cracking and phreaking is not advertising that you're doing it. Once again a great example of military intelligence in action.
  • goflyers, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1I would have considered programming for a branch of the military, but unfortunately you can't really trust them to provide you with a career path that won't involve dodging bullets.
  • scairborn, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I nominate "angusm" for the Digg Hall of Fame.
    BRILLIANT!
