The thread name I like... but I must admit I'm not fond of "Boot Sector" either. The Boot Sector is a traditional place for viruses and hacking to be installed on all manner of devices. It's also the foundation for computing.

Take "Dead_Sec" for example. It's simply short for "Dead Sector" which is when you have a corrupt and unrepairable section of your hard disk. The operating system works around that spot from then on. There's really nothing to the name that indicates hackers, hacking or vigilantism.
