I need to apologize to everyone.

I did not author the code named "super-fuzz-tester.c" that I submitted here earlier. I thought that I could win some recognition among my esteemed peers by presenting some useful code with my name on it, so that the community would no longer think of me as a powerhungry scriptkid. It appears my plan was not elegant enough.

Since then, my server (31337.pr0ix.org) has been encountering severe denial of service attacks. I have been told that the only way to have them cease is to publically admit that I'm a thief and a leech. Please accept this apology. If this attack lasts much longer, I'll go broke. I can't afford to lose my home again.

I have attached the original code that I ripped to this email so that the original author can get the recognition that he deserves. Once again, I would like to stress how sorry I truely am for my inappropriate actions in this matter.

After this embarassment I have brought upon myself and my organization, I have decided to leave #darknet and hack.co.za and go on a pilgrimage, in attempt to find myself and to build some real character and self esteem. They say that admitting you are wrong is the first step to recovery. I hope this holds true.
