Limit use of shareware and public domain software to systems without fixed disks. If you do use them on fixed disks, allocate separate subdirectories... Public domain or shareware software should never be placed in the root directory.

Limit use of shareware and public domain software to systems without fixed disks. If you do use them on fixed disks, allocate separate subdirectories... Public domain or shareware software should never be placed in the root directory.

If operating in a network environment, do not place public domain or shareware programs in a common file-server directory that could be accessible to any other PC on the network.

A hacker is someone who uses a combination of high-tech cybertools and social engineering to gain illicit access to someone else's data.

A simple social engineering hack might involve leaving a thumb drive on the pavement close to the driver's door of a car.

America is in a state of somnolence. It's an avoidance of paranoia through ignoring reality.

An angry people cannot create anything that is not imbued with anger.

Any idiot can make money. Keeping money, very few can do.

As the economy goes south, petty theft begins. And then grand theft. And then muggings.

Belize is not ready for self-government.

Belize is so raw and so clear and so in-your-face. There's an opportunity to see something about human nature that you can't really see in a politer society, because the purpose of society is to mask ourselves from each other.

Belize is still a pirate haven and is run more or less along the lines established centuries ago by the likes of Captain Morgan, Blackbeard, and Captain Barrow.

Corporate competition is fierce, viewed by many as economic warfare where all is fair. But politics... now, this is something unique.

Corporations understand the value of security because the leakage of their competitive information could be the end of the corporation.

Do you think the Chinese think twice about hiring a hacker with a mohawk or a tattooed face? No.

Donald Trump is proud of the fact that he's never written an e-mail.

Dwight Eisenhower warned American citizens at the end of his presidency about the implications of the military-industrial complex and its influence over government. We have now gone well beyond any of the wildest imaginations that could have entered Eisenhower's mind.

Every newspaper on earth has called me a liar.

Everyone knows that a federal job is a lifetime job, and for many in Congress, it seems they have a lifetime job, too.

Governments are composed of human beings, and all of the frailties that humans possess are absorbed into these governments and become active within these governments. Hatred, anger, jealousy, fear, greed, distrust and the whole host of afflictions that humans must bear, lurk just beneath the surface of civility displayed by 'government.'

Governments sometimes turn paranoid. And they fear things. And sometimes the thing they fear the most is the populace.

Hackers rarely have full knowledge of the technology stack of a target.

Hillary Clinton was asked if she wiped the disc she was using for her email; she said, 'Do you mean with a damp cloth?' This, to me, is frightening.

History told me that you just keep working, and it is easy to make more money.

I am always interested in helping and growing new tech start-ups and ideas.

I am just a thorn in everybody's side.

I am looking at opening a school of social engineering. The McAfee School of Social Engineering has a nice ring to it. Beyond that, it is hard to say what life will bring my way.

I cannot conceive of how more than 1% of us could possibly survive a cyberwar.

I do not donate to any political party.

I don't do things I can't win.

I don't know much about technology anymore.

I don't need friends.

I feel as much British as I do American. There's not much difference between our countries.

I gravitate to the world's outcasts.

I had disagreements with all my neighbors about my dogs. I had a disagreement with myself about my dogs. They were noisy.

I had more money than I could spend in million lifetimes.

I have a huge underground following on the web.

I have dual citizenship; I would be happy to go to England. I would be very happy to go to America.

I have started many companies now worth more than $100 million. So I know a little about business.

I have the best habits in the world, and I cannot keep my phone secure.

I know many people within Anonymous; I was the keynote speaker at Defcon in Las Vegas and got a standing ovation.

I simply refuse to play by the rules.

I simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years.

I think that it's when we step out of the road, step outside the box, become our own person, and we walk fearlessly down paths other people wouldn't look at, that true progress comes. And sometimes true beauty as well.

I think that the world has largely ignored Belize and the political situation and the plight of its people because it's one of the smallest countries and, in terms of the world economy, one of the least significant.

I think the thing that our government lacks - just about more than anything else - is technological competence. We have some of the greatest white-hat hackers in the world here in the U.S., but the government seems to be technologically illiterate.

I trust and use RakEM for my private messages and calls. Other messengers collected metadata about who I messaged, when and where - RakEM does not collect metadata, encrypts local files, and uses the strongest end-to-end encryption around.

I was an altar boy. I could probably quote the Bible from beginning to end.

I was one of the first practitioners of social engineering as a hacking technique, and today it is my only tool of use, aside from a smartphone - in a purely white hat sort of way. But if you don't trust me, then ask any reasonably competent social engineer.
