It's intriguing look into how non-skiddies may operate. He's a nice guy to talk to actually, with an amusing sense of humor ( probably from a language barrier translation, but it amuses me nontheless ) Guy makes more than me per month in bitcoin mining -_- fucker.

Well his name is throwaway. I'm sure he isn't posting this on his home computer.

And is probably doing so through Tor as well.
Imagine, and Create.
Without creation, imagination stays just that, an imagination, a thought, a dream, loose in your mind.
Without imagination, creation lacks vision, planning, and determination.
One without the other is worthless, but together, invaluable.
