Thats BS... It's like saying "Whole communities, such as Leosonline.com, exist on the internet to discuss procedures for breaking into houses and killing people."
The NS forums clearly states in the forum rules and guidelines posted in the Welcome Desk, that criminal activity and discussion thereof, will not be tolerated.
This policy is enforced with a vengeance by all the moderators here. Two of those moderators, Thorn & G8t, has a law enforcement background, which also has been made known multiple times in different posts on the forums.
Audit has a strong InfoSec background, including working for TLA's in the past. All in all, the Moderators here has a strong sense of what's right and what's wrong, and that shows in all the policy making for how the forums is run.
But since this is an InfoSec related forum, the tools the opposition uses, has too be discussed, in order to protect against those tools and procedures.
It's the old question of how much do you reveal, in order to protect against the tool, and not provide a step-by-step guide for the scriptkiddies to use those tools. It's a fine balance, and one which I feel the NS forums does manage quite well.
All that would have been evident for a proper journalist doing his research for his article. Alas, the opening "headliner" section which G8t quoted, shows that the author of that article, doesn't fall into the category of a proper journalist.
