Wow, nice guy. I watched about 3 minutes of his toorcon talk and he seems to be advocating destroying internet infrastructure and committing as much crime as possible. Exploiting 0 days, etc. What a class act. We need more upstanding individuals like him in the "community."

His livejournal is like looking inside the mind of a drugged out crazy. He seems to be anti-jew, anti-muslim, anti-gay, and affiliated with the Westboro Baptist Church somehow. Basically, if there is some psycho hate speech group on the Internet somewhere, he's probably in it.

Not exactly security professional material, if you get my drift.


"His livejournal is like looking inside the mind of a drugged out crazy."

IANAD, but wouldn't surprise me if he was developing some sort of mental illness. He seems to have just about every risk factor, and his writing combined with the fact that he's gained 50+ lbs in the last two years are telling.


I am not a druggie?


...and the nicely titled New York Times piece "The Trolls Among Us":

Seem to be some hateful themes there. Is he just doing that for the heck of it or is it real?


weev is a trolls' troll, so I wouldn't take anything at face value.

I think weev is the first person to have crossed the trolling event horizon.


At what point is the trolling supposed to be put on hold for honest expression of his true beliefs? Most of that interview sounds like the words of someone who needs serious help.
