	L0pht Information
		L0pht Heavy Industries (pronounced "loft") was a famous hacker collective located in the Boston, Massachusetts area between 1992 and 2000.
		Some of the founding members of the L0pht shared a common loft apartment space in Boston, from where they inter-connected and experimented with their own personal computers as well as equipment purchased from the Flea at MIT, and items garnished from dumpster diving local places of interest.
		In January 2000, L0pht Heavy Industries merged with the startup @stake, completing the L0pht's slow transition from an underground organization of dubious legality into a licit "whitehat" computer security company.

	The Mind Of A Hacker -- Security -- InformationWeek
		Wysopal used to be known as "Weld Pond," a member of security-research group L0pht Heavy Industries, a legitimate but unconventional business that made its name in the 1990s by uncovering and disclosing software vulnerabilities.
		L0pht (pronounced "loft") was condemned for releasing the password cracker, but Wysopal says the group's mission was misunderstood.
		The goal of L0pht was to raise security awareness and to provide security professionals with tools "as powerful as the tools people use to break into things," he says.

	HPCwire Article # 16880
		Members of the Boston-based L0pht Heavy Industries, who once boasted to the Senate that any one of them could cripple the Internet in the United States within 30 minutes, will form a new consulting company, AtStake, with more than $10 million in funding from venture capitalists.
		L0pht (pronounced "loft"), whose eight members sold software to crack the passwords of Microsoft Windows NT computers and to detect other hackers secretly monitoring a network, will disband as an organization.
		But most remarkable was the presence of those who embrace their roots as "gray-hat hackers," insisting they never used their unusual computer skills to break into systems illegally but acknowledging they study the techniques and even provide some tools for those who do.

	Q&A with Chris Wysopal (Weld Pond) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		One of the most interesting, accomplished and productive hacking organizations of the mid- to late-1990s was L0pht Heavy Industries, a loose affiliation of ``gray-hat'' (i.e., mostly benevolent) hackers.
		During those years, the L0pht earned worldwide notoriety plus the ire of Microsoft for discovering and publicizing a number of software vulnerabilities, especially in Windows.
		Chris, along with many of his former L0pht colleagues, now works for the consulting firm @stake, with whom L0pht Heavy Industries merged in January 2000.

		The most worrisome part of the flaw on Microsoft Windows is that the operating system continues to be vulnerable even when the user believes they have closed the hole.
		In a move long considered controversial, L0pht has decided to release the source code to the basics of a program that could exploit such a hole.
		However, L0pht did delay the release of the advisory at Microsoft's request, said one L0pht member, known by his handle Space Rogue, in an e-mail.

	Hacking group reveals 'Net protocol security glitch
		The victims think they are directly connected to the end host, but are actually connected to the attacker, who is connected to the end host feeding information through.
		However, Microsoft says IRDF is enabled by default in Windows 95 and 98 "because the industry standard requires it." The company says IRDF attacks are due to "weaknesses in the protocol itself and not due to any security vulnerabilities in Microsoft products." Microsoft also says these attacks could happen with other vendors that implemented IRDF.
		Agreeing with L0pht that an authenticated protocol would be more secure, Microsoft says it hopes L0pht plans "to design a more secure version of the protocol" and bring it to the Internet Engineering Task Force.
