xpost from 8ch:

I'm in the D.C. area and I've been attending open-to-public-attendance think tank events regarding the endless problems the Feds have regarding recruiting techies and hackers worth a damn.

1) My primary message has been to push policymakers to do something about the fucking idiocy from the FBI. Raiding a security researcher under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act for Anonymous FBI access? Or arresting Weev and throwing him in solitary for several years for felony hacking because he had the audacity to increment the userID in a URL within a loop and downloading the result with curl. And this doesn't even touch on the Aaron Swartz case.

So from you fagots, I need more examples of cases where Feds had a grossly disproportionate response to hacking or had prosecuted people for non-hacking activities while calling it hacking.

2) I'm thinking of advising them to recruit in places outside of just college campuses, hacker conventions, and Silicon Valley. I fucking despise the notion of gov hackers being filled with SJWs because those hackers will inevitably work their way into regulatory, policy advisory, or policymaking positions. So I'm thinking of telling them to recruit at all kinds of nerd conventions such as Sci-Fi, Comic Book, Vidya, Wargaming, and Furry (yes, even those autists have talent in them. Fucking call themselves "cryptografurs").

Any feedback on that? I'm not 100% sold on pushing them to look to recruit at various nerd conventions. Current state is the Feds mixing good talent with skiddies and it's having perverse policy repercussions.
