[Moderator: I apologize for this being off topic, but this kind of unprofessional behavior annoys me to no end. The l0pht has been a role-model in the hacker spirit for more years than I can count. l0pht team members have dedicated an incredible amount of time and resources for promoting security in various ways. It is a shame to see a for-profit company blatantly rip off their material and present it in such a fashion.] http://www.l0pht.com/l0phtcrack/shake_crit.html L0phtCrack, L0pht, their likeness, and these pages Copyright © 1998 LHI Technologies, LLC All Rights Reserved ---------- Shake Communications Plagerizes the L0phtCrack 2.0 Documentation This is a critique of an article in the Shake Security Journal Vol. 1 Issuse 1. It can be found at http://www.shake.net/L0pht_march98.htm The author has placed an asterisk in the first paragraph which references a disclaimer at the bottom of the document which states, "Shake Communications reserves the right not to disclose the sources for this articles for confidentiality and security reasons." The real reason they do not want the source disclosed is because of the flagrant copyright violations they have commited. All the other articles in the journal have proper attribution. They obviously did not want to expose their intellectual property theft. You will notice that approximately 50% of the article is plagiarized. This is a good example of how some in the security industry steal the original work of the L0pht and peddle it as their own research. When you read this also notice how the article's author has changed the slant of the original text by replacing "user" or "you" with "hacker".
