>Clownz,

>Trusted users are allowed to access the local system

>Another great example of your sites stupidity would be

>he'd break out laughing. You call normal ports "Telnet
>ports"? Each port is represented for a different

>it, you won't be able to do anything else since each
>port will pretty much require to use a client needed
>exactly for the service to reply to, in which case
>telnet can't do anything. A great example would be
>port 113/tcp the auth port, you can connect to it (if
>that service is running) but that's about it, it's
>going to sit there, and do nothing, since telnet isn't
>the right client for this service and it can't respond
>with the right packets (over the net)/strings
>(localhost) to the service. Plain logics. So just
>because you can telnet to a few ports doesn't mean you
>call ports now "Telnet ports"... I hope you realize
>how silly that sounds. And that goes pretty much for
>the rest of your site. It's completely disorganized,
>it has no quality material. Ahh i just have to add
>this - you talk about knowledge, - you say, you don't
>know how far you'd be now if you wouldn't have your
>friends who have taught you "everything you know ".
>Ok, your "filez" section. Trojans? That's your
>knowledge? Well let me tell you this - when you learn
>a programming language ( and I am not talking about
>your kiddy Windows programming crap), write some
>programs, devote your time to open source public,
>learn to use another OS besides Windows, than talk

>Learn everything you can. Pick up a few programming

>administration books, and as I said before - learn
>everything you can. And than go talk about knowledge...
> Another thing I'd just like to add - this isn't a

>ago, and flaming just get's you nowhere. Accept this
>how you want - it would go most closely to positive

>zerash@slack.net or catch me on usenet (around
