We develop our own scripts using varied languages and means and can defeat nearly any standard security measure you put in place.
We’re doing this because bloggers provide a waste to the internet, an amassing of imbeciles who think they deserve to be heard, and think people actually care.

Yes, this is a kiddie hacker, no doubt. This was manually done, and then the auto script was turned on.
