Now thats called speed hacking : $84m porn filter hacked in 30 mins

I think i just made up the word speed hacking. What else you can call a 16 year old kid hacking a new $84 million internet porn filter in minutes.

Incident took place in Melbourne where schoolboy, named Tom Wood, said it took him just over 30 minutes to bypass the Government’s filter, released on Tuesday.

Amazing hacker - Did things differently

Normal hackers when crack a website or a software, always tend to leave their footprints, either in the form of defacing the website or changing the ownership of the software with some weird names. But this guy did it with style.

His hacking technique ensures that the software’s toolbar icon is not deleted, leaving adults under the impression that the filter is still working.

It took him 30 minutes to bypass the filter and 40 minutes to crack the upgraded one. Well now thats pretty fast. Isnt it ??

Tom, who spoke to Communications Minister Helen Coonan about cyber safety during a forum in May, said the Federal Government should have developed a better Australian made filter. According to him it’s a horrible waste of money.

Cracking of a $84 million filter is obviously a serious money wastage from Australian Federal govt. point of view.

In my opinion Tom, has really made a point that once you are computer-savvy, and focus yourself, you can just do anything over the internet. Whether its about hacking , gaining popularity or simply making money online. Nothing is Impossible.

I hope we get someone like Tom over here at UAE who can get us rid of the damm website filter applied by Etisalat ( the ISP provider at UAE ).

Dont you think cracking a $84 millon filter in 30 mins and upgraded filter in 40mins is an evil accomplishment by this 16 year old kid ??
