Sheesh. Armed with nothing more than Google.com, I could find the necessary information for a DoS attack or the source code to a worm. Let's face it, the information is out there, so why hide it? Not suggesting that broadcasting the method for setting up a DoS trojan would be a responsible use of a television signal, but a more appropriate use would be to describe a threat and protect against it.

I just feel like he's pitching himself as an up-to-date hacker type when he, admittedly, is not. I'm more concerned with his promotion of ancient tools leading some kid into trouble with either the law or simply viruses. I'd rather have a WhiteHat on that program showing folks what a DoS attack is, for example, and how to detect an infected system. There are ways of describing even the most technical of topics in ways that anyone can understand.
