What's to stop you? the government making it illegal to run hacking tools like "tor" (see the silk road/bitcoin post on HN from earlier) etc illegal and forcing your ISP to record any use of such and block you off the internet (see france's 3 strikes, you as a person are not allowed on the internet law) and report you and then possibly criminally prosecute you as well.

What you're suggesting is impossible. >the government making it illegal to run hacking tools like "tor" Do you think that there is nothing illegal that happens on the internet now ? How long was it illegal to export encryption? How many people actually cared? >forcing your ISP to record any use of such and block you off the internet The encryption standards that we all use are the same encryption standards that are r…

Really? You had to bring race into it?

If he's talking about the FBI, he's talking about USGOV. If he's talking about USGOV, the demographics of Congress, the Cabinet, and the Supreme Court are pretty clear.

How is it that so much coverage of LulzSec still hasn't understood their motives? The group's agenda isn't entirely clear right now Yes, it is, they're doing it because they find it funny.

I think it's dismissive to jump to that conclusion - they're likely turning a healthy profit by dumping lists of emails, credit card numbers, and zero-day vulnerabilities on the black market.
