In 2014, I started hacking, My background is PHP, python, Perl, c++, HTML, and exploiting. My first motivation is to be a member of one of the most dreaded hacker team, I’m board, second, I like hacking.

What was your greatest hacking challenge? Which was your latest hack? Can you describe me it?

I have no specific hacking challenge. My newest hack was the hack of a website that was hosting credit cards, but without a proper security. Finally, I did it, I hacked it like black hats do.

No, I haven’t participated to any ISIS hunting neither hacker their websites.

But you can find them on the dark/deep web or on twitter. If you go to they do a great job of find them.

We often hear about cyber weapons and cyber attacks against critical infrastructure. Do you believe it is real the risk of a major and lethal cyber attack against a critical infrastructure?  

Cyber security is a myth. Most nations already use cyber weapons like EMP. I know that the U.S.A is training Navy Seal to fight in the cyberspace, they are working on the creation of cyber weapons too.
