LMAO.....

Entertaining posts fellas. I really enjoyed reading the replies.

I guess my quoting the vBulletin part in the first post has awakened the vb monster in a few of us, both good and bad. ;)

I wonder why Bardin thinks IB can "hack" into any vB board... They have our license information and that's it.

Boofo 04-12-2012 07:05 AM

The write the code and they have the call home feature. I'm sure they could put some backdoor code in if they really wanted to, although I don't really believe that is the case. Just saying.

Pandemikk 04-12-2012 07:10 AM

If they had a backdoor I'm sure it would have been discovered by now. If not, they've done a really good job hiding it.

Boofo 04-12-2012 07:12 AM

As I sated, I don't believe any backdoor exists either. I was just playing the devil's advocate.

If "th3raptor" really is as skilled a hacker as is claimed then surely he must know there is no code in vBulletin to give the US Government (or anyone) secret access to VB forums.

Therefore I must assume he said those comments on purpose to "scare" those who would be using forums for terror planning activities.

Boofo 04-12-2012 11:23 AM

Why don't we ask OldSchoolDSL? His sig says he is an "Official Member of Anonymous". ;)

Makes sense, although I believe the cyberterror expert was speaking out of ignorance which makes me lose faith in our national defense a little.
