ya hacking is a fun but i dnt want go go behind bars because its risky now a days
for hacking many software are avaible
i suppose boards are easy to crack down but involve risk even with proxies and hiding ur ips because they will find out the original ip and they will knock ur doors
since i can locate any ones adress to his atrea they stay so imagine what tech they must have
