tal0n (skew, bandit... or also known on the basketball court as 'DOWNTOWN JB')
tal0n is a hacker! Yes, that's right, folks. He wrote the famous sshbrute program, which brute forces a hardcoded list of usernames and passwords via SSH (secure shell). He was made famous by the infamous e-zine known as h0no, and was lame (erm, I mean cool) enough to be in all three issues! This cool cat has been a part of many elite hacker groups, such as nixsec (pure eliteness), reflux (nixsec remade under a different name--how cool!), and has been in contact with groups such as priv8security, darpanet and m00. He has been owned many times (possibly uncountable). One reason was because he likes to give root access out to all of his friends! Thanks, bandit. Ever since he was one of the first stars on the h0no e-zine, he went into hiding. However, his trustworthy friends seemed to have leaked his second nick, skew. You know what they say, 'trust nobody'. Skew's motto is 'trust everybody', because he's such a nice hacker. Believe it or not, he has made it on bugtraq! He was a bugtraq star for about two weeks when he released a revolutionary exploit for shoutcast. By doing this he believes he is some kind of blackhat, but his enemies think otherwise--that he is, in fact, a whitehat. Or even worse, a script kiddie! Now, this guy created the almighty sshbrute hacker program. All real hackers use this, so we must look deep into ourselves and answer the following question: How oh how is he a script kiddie when he spent months writing a 200 line program that he asked many people for help on irc with? Unfortunately, even with this ground-breaking achievement that has obviously never been attempted before the year 2004 (HE CHANGED HACKING WITH SSHBRUTE!!!), he is a script kiddie.
The Beginning of the Supreme Hacker
How does a true hacker form? The way that tal0n formed, obviously! In his early years (he is now 17 years old!!!@#), he would go on msn chats and threaten to hack people. He never did hack them. Eventually he met some guy by the name of Xires, who was a child molester that was pretending to be a hacker so that tal0n would be his 'friend'. He taught him many things. Soon after tal0n met some guy named s0cialhack, who social engineered him into thinking s0cialh4ck was a female. Tal0n sent love letters and poems to s0cialh4ck. When tal0n found out of s0cialhack's deceptive powerz, he set on to create a great hacker group. This hacker group went by the name of The Cyber Knights, or TheCKS. Tal0n swore revenge on s0cialhack. Though s0cialhack was much more socially adept and much smarter, so tal0n's plan to show him a lesson failed. This was, of course, because tal0n had no 0day. Tal0n has never had 0day. Tal0n will never have 0day. He now remains a very secretive hacker, ninja-like in fact. Striking down upon his opponents who have weak passwords, with his ultimate sshbrute power ranger skills. It is believed that tal0n is a narq, secretly working with the Morrocan government to thwart hackers.
tal0n's love letter to s0cialhack
This letter has been leaked by s0cialhack, who gave it to Xires, who gave it to r4t. Thanks guys. All misspelled words will be put in bold text. (acronyms won't)

Wow, it hurt my hand typing all those bold tags to make all those typos bold. Wow! He is truly a fucking retard.
tal0n has a resume!
Here is tal0n's resume. It's very credible, as you can probably see! From knowing bash scripting to having connected 5-6 computers to a router, he is truly a great rolemodel for future hackerz. Great job tal0n.
