Q: What is "Hammer of God?"
A: What do you mean?
Q: OK.. I mean, why does "Hammer of God" exist?
A: Ah. We formed Hammer of God so that computer security professionals could have a common
place to gather, and so they can have the freedom to act and speak anonymously. The Hammer of God Membership is not, and never will be, limited in any actions they may take or endeavors they may pursue. They may use this facility to say what they feel, to develop what they can imagine, or to unleash the power of God upon whatever foes they choose. I will not judge, I will not interfere, and most of all, I will not log.
Q: Are you condoning questionable behavior?
A: What? I could not hear you properly.
Q: I am asking if you allow the membership to engage in computer activity that may be considered hostile. If you don't log the actions of the membership, how can you be sure they are adhering to legislative guidelines?
A: This is good coffee. Are these cookies free?
Q: Are you going to answer the question?
A: .. thirty, thirty-one! Hey, they really DO have more chocolate chips than other cookies!
Q: Fine. Exactly how many members do you have?
A: We get by.
Q: How do we find out the identity of the membership?
A: You don't. I don't even know the real identity of these people, as far as you know.
Q: How is that possible? You HAVE to know!
A: In the same way that a bumble-bee can fly.
Q: You are a strange man, sir.
A: Careful, Sonny. I'll fry you where you sit.
Q: Moving on then. How does one become a member of "Hammer of God?"
A: Don't call us, we'll call you.
Q: What do you mean?
A: I mean that if you are worth anything, then we already know all about you. If we feel that you would be an asset to HoG, then you'll be hearing from us. Otherwise, go away.
Q: That is kind of arrogant of you, don't you think?
A: We name ourselves after Norse Gods and Heroes. What did you expect?
Q: Well, I'm pretty good. Can I be a member?
A: You're not a soldier. You're an errand boy. Sent by a grocery clerk, to collect a bill.
Q: Now what the hell does that mean?
A: Nothing really... I've just always wanted to say that.
Q: Well, we're not really getting anywhere here. For an interviewee, you sure don't give up much information.
A: <g>
