(1) We showed up as IT support, I didn’t mention it in the story but we did tell the receptionist that e-mail would be down for a while. (2) We did bring USB drives but the laptop was faster (3) Yeah we did wipe the HD
Comment on How Roy Schestowitz and I infiltrated a government office and stole an e-mail database and laptop

This is all fiction, and terribly written lol.
So you went into a government and REBOOTED their email server into a livecd environment, taking it offline from its purpose, and…nobody showed up to the server closet you were in to see what was up for, what, hours.
On top of that, you rolled into a site for heist, and didn’t bring any device to copy said data you were there for, so you just stole whatever laptop was sitting around, and it just so happened to have enough disk space for you…oh wait…let me back up a sec. That laptop was booted with a livecd, so what…did he wipe it’s HD and then copy these files you were after to that freshly wiped disk or something?
This is written with the talent of the 8th grade creative writing student who does all the plot work for those terrible CSI/NCIS hacking shows 🙄

Uh huh.
Were ZeroC00l, AcIdBuRn, and CerealKiller there as backup to help you guys out? How harrowing. I got The Prodigy was played during all of this.

It’s a true story from 2006, my memory isn’t the best so I took a few creative liberties but it’d say it’s 99% accurate.

Did you see a judge for this? And if not, why?

Also they cloned the IDs with Gimp? IDs usually have a contactless chip too, and you need a device and an existing card to clone.
