OK, to be really blunt, the previous post was a joke, if not the nicest one. The details were added to make it harder to take seriously. You're right about the first point - there is no Kappa Delta response team that I know of, and it wouldn't make sense for campus security to call a sorority to track down a security problem. Second, there are such things as decompilers but they wouldn't recover variable names or comments for C code. Third, WEP still has the security hole, and the protocol will probably be replaced by a newer and stronger one, rather than "fixed." Fourth, "script kiddie" is not a positive term, and I doubt that a serious hacker would hang out on alt.2600, since it's filled with, well...script kiddies.
The point was that when I posted something negative and sensationalistic about my past, no matter how implausible, you were apparently quick to believe it. When I posted something more truthful but less exciting earlier, you seemed to doubt it. I don't think that this is just you - I think that it's human nature. Same thing with the Alexandra Robbins book. Come on, if I wrote something that basically said, "Well, I used to be in a sorority. The members were generally nice people, but it wasn't for me," who'd buy it?
