How did j0hnny do this ?
283692 Blog Verification didn’t show up today. I will probably never know the answer to my second question.
I just came across a fantastic phenomenon while checking del.icio.us.
The “hot right now” on the home page was johnny.ihackstuff.com :: I’m j0hnny. I hack stuff.? saved by 1743 people, whith tags like “security”, Hack”, “google”. I was attracted. I decided to check it.

Let’s check out Digg.? We have: Is It Illegal To Describe The Sporting Event You’re Watching? and How to Photograph Fireworks? with 400 Diggs. No sign of j0hnny.
Oddly enough I tend to not always share the same interests as Digg readers.
I just found nonetheless a topic for a next question, “30% of the entire US Internet population use MySpace? Can 51 million people be a fad?”.
I joined my space when there was 600 000 users and I thought it was enormous. I’ll have to tell how I found Myspace later. I have zero friends on Myspace by the way.
So back to Johnny. No sign of life on Digg.
Let’s check out Google cache..
Here we go :
One post every month, really about Hacking.
I wonder what Info he posted today to get so much traffic..
I wish I had 365questions crashing under Traffic too… Or I could have j0hnny hack me down with one fabulous DOS attack ?? But who wants such traffic. And I don’t have a domain name yet.
Anyway, I hope I can answer tomorrow to today’s questions :
