That list CLEARLY STATES COMPUTER HACKING.............but not USB hacking.........

Mods .......If you don't want him or anyone else hacking USB sticks then please state it in the rules. otherwise your argument is kinda weak.

The terms and conditions only state that He can't hack computers. Where does it says he can't hack a USB drive. Because clearly a USB drive is not a computer. Maybe that should be put into the rules also.


Sry for double post lat one did not show up at first so i posted it again. sry

Hi I thought I would mention.
If you find a flash drive or hard drive.
You can run a small free program on it called, Restoration.exe
And it will find the deleted files as long as they haven't been overwritten.
Its not actually illegal, if you find memory media, to look at the files on it.
Because that could be how you identify who's it is, to return it to them.

i really hope you find a cookie recipe on this or something really stupid and harmless. and then we can all look back at three pages of posts and laugh. but maybe we will at least learn if we can condone hacking flashdrives here.
