It seems that Bob shouldn't be one to talk of Mann's obliviousness when it comes to the dynamics of hacking, since what he sees as 'srs bsns' is stuff that is mostly done by script kiddies.
Agreed. Bob is obviously is under educated about hacking, for DOXXING and SWATTING is the shit that script kiddies do.
For those who don't know, script kiddies is a term for individuals who use programs or scripts to commit certain acts of cyber crime. (Those acts being DOXXING and the such) Real hackers loathe script kiddies for they do nothing to advance hacking and always give the entire hacking community(Yes, even the white hats) a bad reputation with the local authorities. Blackhats(and certain Hacktivists), on the other hand, those guys are scary. They can rob banks, destroy cities(No hyperbole), and all the other acts of major crime and terrorism. In fact, the United States suffered a major breach in their military computers in 2008. The Pentagon (Yes, the fucking Pentagon) spent 14 months trying to clear the worm from their computers in an operation known as "Operation Buckshot Yankee"... No, I am not making this up. It is really called "Operation Buckshot Yankee".
Anyhow, if you want more information about "Operation Buckshot Yankee" here's an article [http://www.eventtracker.com/2014-01-16-operation-buckshot-yankee-agent-btz/] about it.
