Underground Pit

- IHO INTERVIEW-

--------IHO Ethic's at there fullest--------

<Demon6> so what is iHO all about?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Well, we are a group of hackers, programmers, and of course, friends...
<WiZDoM [IH0]> who are basically all working together towards a common goal
<Demon6> friends as in people you just meet over the internet or friends in local areas
<WiZDoM [IH0]> That goal, in my eyes, is to help revive the true meaning of a hacker - a meaning that once held honor and respect...
<WiZDoM [IH0]> We achieve this by protecting the internet
<WiZDoM [IH0]> We hack those who abuse their skills
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Whether it be in a chat room, or an abusive website, or anything else
<Demon6> sounds like a true ethic group
<WiZDoM [IH0]> We are
<WiZDoM [IH0]> And I am glad that is the impression that gets across
<Demon6> may I ask how old you are being the leader of this group people wonder how old usually you guys are
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Well, most of our members are around 19-20
<WiZDoM [IH0]> To be honest, I am one of the youngest members in the entire group...
<Demon6> and how old would that be?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> and one of the youngest old school hackers I know
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Id rather keep that private
<WiZDoM [IH0]> But I'm 16
<Demon6> ok yea I should tell you, you don't have to answer anything you don't want to
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Of course, people should be judged by their actions, not their age
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Ok man
<Demon6> that's true
<Demon6> me for example I started my DoA in November of 95
<Demon6> and I was only 15
<WiZDoM [IH0]> yes...
<Demon6> so do you guys have any plans for future hacks or what do you think you all will be upto in the near future?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Well, we usually find ways to keep occupied
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Our most recent plans were an attack on another clan...
<Demon6> is there anything special you do with the clan as meetings or so forth?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> They were abusing their abilities as hackers, and cauing anarchy. One must remember, hackers are NOT anarchists
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Id like to keep the clans name secret at this time though
<Demon6> ok no problem
<WiZDoM [IH0]> thanks
<Demon6> so they were just a DoS attack group then?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Well yes..
<Demon6> Denial of service as you hackers like to call it
<WiZDoM [IH0]> But they were really good
<Demon6> ok
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Its not like we go out of our way to kill a bunch of kids with win nuke
<WiZDoM [IH0]> lol
<Demon6> I don't think you guys do that kind of thing
<WiZDoM [IH0]> of course not
<Demon6> ok if someone tried to hack any member of iHO what do you think would happen to that person?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> hahahahaha
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Not a good thing
<WiZDoM [IH0]> We are all friends in the IHO
<WiZDoM [IH0]> So if somebody wants to f*** with one of our boyz, they have to f*** with all of us - including me
<Demon6> what actions would you take against someone that would be dosing a member?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Depends on what extent they are dosing them
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Nukes and such obvisouly have no effect, measures can easily be taken to prevent that
<WiZDoM [IH0]> But if they try something very dangerous and damaging, we may format them to teach them a lesson
<Demon6> so say if I used win nuke for example on you and you traced me would I be dosed back right away or what would happen?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> If they try again, we will take them to court
<WiZDoM [IH0]> No
<WiZDoM [IH0]> I would send you a message saying why win nuke sux
<Demon6> ok
<WiZDoM [IH0]> I would talk with you for a while, and try to knock some ethics into your head
<WiZDoM [IH0]> (I need to go in 2 min)
<Demon6> so how long has iHO been around for?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Only a week
<WiZDoM [IH0]> We were previously known as DoA
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Which has been around for about 6 months (at least with me there)
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Not long in the "big game"
<Demon6> I heard of another DoA is that true?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> I myself have been in the underground for years though
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Yes it is
<Demon6> do you guys have a web site up yet?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Yes, you can view it at: http://iho.cjb.net
<WiZDoM [IH0]> We have registered www.iho.net
<WiZDoM [IH0]> It should be up within 2 weeks
<Demon6> sounds good is there a place on irc people could chat with your group?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> On undernet, #IHO
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Its not yet perm, should be very soon
<Demon6> and have you thought about the TV program parse to talk about something for your group or is that something you wouldn't do?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Hmmm
<Demon6> parse is a hacker TV show shown with real player
<WiZDoM [IH0]> I think an opportunity to talk on television would be great
<WiZDoM [IH0]> ok
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Yeah, I'll look into that
<Demon6> ok
<WiZDoM [IH0]> I think the voices of real hackers, not crackers, need to be exposed more
<Demon6> since I know you have to go and im taking up your time one last question
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Sure
<Demon6> explain what a cracker is and what a real hacker is?
<WiZDoM [IH0]> The most common misunderstanding is of that between a hacker and a cracker.
<WiZDoM [IH0]> A hacker is somebody who supports ethics strongly, very strongly. They don't damage innocent systems ever, and when they exploit a security hole, they inform the admin of how
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Most hackers are programmers too
<WiZDoM [IH0]> They learn and understand systems well enough to "exploit" them
<WiZDoM [IH0]> A cracker on the other hand...
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Is somebody who doesn't use original tools
<WiZDoM [IH0]> They obtain programs from say www.hackcity.com (no offence intended) and play around with em
<WiZDoM [IH0]> They basically "crack" a system via Joe Blows instant cracker deluxe version 1.00 and delete stuff
<Demon6> sounds like a typical person you real guys would call a lamer, is lamer used allot in the public chat rooms cause I hear that word and wonder what it means
<WiZDoM [IH0]> They are usually punk kids, and are just out for a "good time" at somebody else's expense
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Yeah
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Basically lamas are crackers
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Or people who claim to be what they're not
<WiZDoM [IH0]> If you cant hack - don't say you cant
<WiZDoM [IH0]> I hold nothing against newbies, but if you are a newbie, don't say your 31337
<WiZDoM [IH0]> In fact, I like to help teach people. I am a mentor to some
<Demon6> 31337 stands for elite for our audience hehe
<WiZDoM [IH0]> hehe
<Demon6> ok
<Demon6> thank you for the interview and I'll be posting this at http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/braker/886/Cnews.html
<WiZDoM [IH0]> You're welcome
<WiZDoM [IH0]> Thanks for choosing me
<Demon6> thank you for answering those questions
