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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
