Come on man, seriously? Pro hackers still use ie8?:O:

At least update to 9 man...


also, I doubt this is a really "pro hacker" Seriously? pro rat?

I was able to find people selling that POS on the trashiest internet forums. yes, even hackforums.net (worst internet community ever).

I remember personally seeing it being sold on Chinese forums like in 2010, and within a few minutes of searching, I found it for free on the internet in source code and binary form:
http://www.opensc.ws/c-malware-sources/2962-open-source-gh0st-rat.html
http://www.heibai.net/download/Soft/Soft_9681.htm

The hacker is shown using pro rat 1.0 alpha, when pro rat 2.0 stable was launched in 2007. Combined with the old version of windows, and the old version of ie, I have to conclude that this video is either ancient, or the hacker is pretty horrible at what he does.
