Follow up to Infosecsellout Post
I have been reading a lot of articles saying that I have pointed the finger at LMH and PHC. I even received a comment to that effect.

Comment @ 07/19/07 at 5:26 am |eeyeroll, common everyone knows that the informant is icer/maynor which basically removes all credibility because (a) he’s a pathological liar and (b) he’s got beef with LMH. This stupid irc convo doesn’t prove anything other than you’re gullible.
So I responded
@jf
Actually the “informant” is not Maynor. Although I know him I have never talked to him via IRC. You can check out the comment my source made to Martin McKeay’s blog.
Also, I haven’t said anything in my post that proves LMH or PHC are involved. Actually, I try to follow up on the information the “informant” gave me but didn’t gather any more information than most people who knows these individuals are already aware of as old news. Now, if I had known about the Unmask program I would have performed some the actions HD Moore took as described in the article on Techzi.
The main thing this did was get this subject in the news so that the infosec sellout received more publicity then it was worth. What all of these players need to realize is that it is okay to be anonymous, it is okay to be a jerk, but the two shouldn’t be mixed.
Something I thought of afterwards. If you are trying to remain anonymous, and you could be fired for writing in a blog, you should not brag about developing a worm for any operating system. It is going to get you attention that you probably do not want as people will start looking at you a lot more closely. Infosecsellout found this out the hardway.
Go forth and do good things,
