GForce Pakistan Is a Pakistani based hacker group consisting of 8 members. Most of the members are students, some of whom have jobs in the IT industry [1]
The Pakistani group GForce Pakistan was caught in a Honeypot in 2000 and their activity of atleast 1 month was logged from a honeypot (a computer server specially left insecure to lure hackers). The group logs and the analysis were published on the internet by the Honeypot project. [2]
All the group members were identified using their original names using information collected during their access on the honeypot server. The honeypot server clearly shows their inability to achieve simple computer tasks and were titled script kiddies (computer users who dont have knowledge about networks, programming or the working of computer systems and use tools and procedures written and developed by hackers to penetrate into systems) by the honeypot research.

One of the GForce group member RSnake a.k.a. Faisal Rauf Danka currently works as a security consultant and can be reached at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University. The domain attitudex.com was used to leave a contact on defaced websites and email addresses like root@attitudex.com and gforce@attitudex.com were created for such jobs. Faisal Rauf Danka (RSnake) can now be contacted at mfrd@attitudex.com [4]
