This is the most ridiculous proof I have ever heard. Have you corroborated his 
story? How? What if I told you that there was a host called 
"hoover-wears-a-dress.fbi.gov". Would that be proof that I had hacked the FBI? 
Of course not. You'd have to hack in yourself to see.

Looks like you and this "guy" are caught up in hacker-itis (ie. the idea that 
hacking the FBI makes everyone think you have big cojones). Figure out how to 
USE FW-1 competently and I'd be much more impressed.
