Re: way to challenge yourself with Group 2 manipulation
Now obviously you don't want just anyone viewing stuff that may be "sensitive", and you don't know if people say they are who they really are, but if the bad guys want the info bad enough, they'll get it. Just like guns, criminals will find a way.
The other site, which you all probably know what it is, didn't even want people questioning their actions! The whole locksport and the hacker communities are BUILT on questioning stuff, whether it be the security of a computer or a lock, or a system, and letting others know vulnerabilities exist so they can be aware of it and take action to help mitigate risks. I wholeheartedly support this philosophy.
Then there are people who know I can pick locks and want me to teach them, some I'll show the basics to, and others I say "no way" either because I believe they'll misuse it or they want to learn just to break in to places. If they really want to learn, get a book on it, as I did (or go online!) and teach yourself.
Knowledge IS power, and it can be fun too!
Be safe out there, learn, and HAVE FUN!
