Details:
John A. Buchanan, better known as Aristotle (or ARiSToTLE), is a member
of the ever-degrading Virus eXchange (VX) underground. Not a programmer
of any degree himself, he has relied on his mouth to gain a name in the
scene. Aristotle runs a BBS system dedicated to exchanging viruses, and
claims to be a member of NuKE, an elite underground group with a partial
focus in viruses. NuKE, however, seems to view him as a pest - at best.
For an occasional power-trip, Aristotle has been known to post real
information, including name, phone, etc. of virus writers to attempt to
scare them. He has allegedly given the same information to law-enforcement
agencies on several occasions, and seems to have been the cause of several
people's arrests. This is the only way, it seems, that he can feel that
he has any power. He is also commonly inciting flame wars (arguments on
a very base level) for a similar purpose.
