[Moderator: Ms. Meinel is not teaching the FBI. She submitted a proposal, but it was not accepted. Techbroker is the site for her consulting business and should have little to do with the HH deal. She also has www.happyhacker.org registered which is designed to sell books.] Reply From: Chris Wilson <cmw32at_private> > From: Carolyn Meinel <cmeinelat_private> > Subject: HHD for 8/17 I thought I recognised this name from somewhere. Carolyn Meinel wrote the book Happy Hackers and, I believe, an E-zine by the same name. The book has been accused of being a "decoy", teaching useless "hacking" techniques and things which simply don't work. Ms. Meinel herself is now training the Feds to catch exactly the same hackers she trained with her book. If I were a hacker who'd discovered how worthless the book is and then found out that she was training the Feds how to find me, I'd be pretty pissed off. The "volunteer" web site (www.techbroker.com) she runs, is the vehicle for promotion of her book and e-zine. Given her dual incomes from book sales and consulting to the U.S. Government, I'm surprised she can't afford to pay her staff.
