I think he should crowd source this so we can all work to disrupt North Korea.

We’ll it’s interesting in this case, because technically speaking a peace treaty was never signed and North Korea is in the state of war with the United States. So is it really a crime to attack a hostile state?
> North Korea is in the state of war with the United States I'm not sure where this comes from, but you're now the second person I see on HN to say this ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29896969 ). Is this "common knowledge" in the US or something?

None of the US wars since WWII have been formally declared wars. They're still wars.
The conflict with North Korea ended with an armistice, not a formal treaty. The armistice intended for peace treaty discussions to start 3 months later... and they never really did.
The US, UN Command, and North Korea are still operating under a temporary cease-fire that's now basically 70 years old. (I don't think South Korea even signed the armistice).

#113This is nothing to celebrate. Would we like random people sitting in say North Korea taking cyber revenge over evil regimes they don't like?

#114I would have advised him to stay quiet about this. Not out of fear of the North Koreans, but out of fear of our own security agencies seeing the activity as interfering in international relations. Also the vagueness of our hacking laws probably make what he did a crime. But I also am immensely proud that we have people willing to take things into their own hands when needed. Also, I feel like the 2nd amendment should…
That this article exists it a manifest of his failed OpSec... if you are a hacker and you are popular for it, you aren't doing a good job.
Indeed... I've came across a few hackers in my life and not a single one of them wanted to be known / seem as one.

The Supreme Court does not make policy, at most it stops other branches from making certain kind of policies, when presented an opportunity to do so when resolving an actual case or controversy.
SCOTUS can also roll back existing policy. The power to flip a bit is effectively power to make policy.
Not autonomously. The Supreme Court can only hear cases which are brought to it -- it cannot "make policy" in the absence of a relevant case.

> The United States rejected a North Korean proposal to discuss a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War because it did not address denuclearization on the peninsula, the State Department said on Sunday.

> Then they signed the Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula, which commits the two countries to denuclearization and talks to bring a formal end to conflict. It was a startling conclusion to the first meeting between leaders of the two countries in 10 years.

#117reckless. could have caused missiles accidents or god knows what. now those vulnerabilities will be patched. it would have been better to report those vulnerabilities to the military so they could be used when needed.
Re: North Korea hacked him, so he took down its internet
#118I have a gut feeling, that person responsible for those hacks might be working for or at least informing US gov about his actions in advance. Him talking so openly to a major news outlet and warm response of us gov officials point towards that
This is precisely my first thought as well. It makes for a half-decent Hollywood plot but IRL? My guess is there’s got to be more than what meets the eye. Propaganda piece perhaps?

I really like that 2nd amendment thought. Very interesting.

Agreed. This is immensely foolish on his part. And he can rest assured that his identity is known. One crime does not justify another.
NK committed a sovereign act of war, not a crime. NK is not under common jurisdiction as the victim.
Individual citizens don’t get to define acts of war
