Where Can I Find a DDoS?

The stupidity of HF members never ceases to amaze me...

Ha yes.
I was almost a little scared when i saw the initial post, but the body of the post reassured me.

[fashizzlepop]

It's not just HF. I know a kid who was in my electronics class who asked me if I knew what *dee doss* was. I said, "You mean, *dee dee oh ess*?" He goes "yeah, I have it"

Im like "WTF?" and proceed to rip him a new one by correcting him and insulting him and embarrassing him in front of the other kids.

He told me I didn't know anything about hacking and that he is "So much better than me"

He also told me he could take down any site he wanted... like Facebook. I said do it. He said, well it only works for like 10 minutes. I said do it. He cried.

Not really, because he's ignorant and stupid. Oh well, I made sure everyone knew he was a dumb jackhole.

Moral of the story: I got lazier as I wrote this post.

And don't fuck with the POP.

Pop,

Your story reminded me of a convo./argument I had with someone in a cisco class back when I was in school:

Me: *Surfing on web, prompt comes up*
Troll: *Leans over immediately, gets five inches away from my face* "Don't click that, I clicked on that once and it gave me a virus
Me: *glance at him, then screen, then back* It's an update for flash.
Troll: Trust me I know what I'm talking about, and you don't want no part of this shit

What was most humorous was that he started on that right in the middle of the prof.'s lecture.

Later on, I caught him ripping off packet tracer assignments from me verbatim. MD5's matched and everything; wasn't once or twice, there was something like 20-30 assignments stolen in all (the homework was on an open network share, yes, it was stupid, yes, the prof. changed it later).

I layed into him after that pretty good and turned him in. He failed the class. Later, I come to find out he had autism. And I lol'd.

Damn.... Heavy.

[Reason7194]

Indeed, quite heavy.

I lol'd btw.

Something like that has happened to me before.

Me: Dude what are you doing?
Idiot: I'm hacking into your website!
Me: Do even know how?
Idiot: YEAH! SQL Injection. Duh.
Me: Do you know what that is?
Idiot: ....No.

Yeah he is idiot. Not very many people in our school that learn Html or Jaavascript.

Clueless people who just act like they're "h4sx0rz" are not even half as bad as the ones who try to do shit they obviously know nothing about.

I used to run a shell server for my irc friends. After a while, I made a mistake of adding someone who apparently wanted to root my box.

He bragged about it (as in "i'm so gonna his box hurr, in fact i'm doing it right now") on a public irc channel, people believed him (even though he provided NO proof) and made me waste like 3 hours of my life on browsing logs.
Nope, he didn't.
So I checked his home directory for stuff.
There was a small bash script, with a blatantly obvious fork bomb inside. I msg'd him about it, he wrote that he'd wanted to use this to root my server (someone had told him that this would work).
Needless to say I lol'd and told him that if he'd bothered to use uname, he'd have known that the kernel was patched with grsec and there was a process limit.
And then I just kicked him out, changed his shell to an unusable one (it displayed a funny message and immediately logged him out) and kept his home directory for the lulz.
Never told him that you can't root a box with a fork bomb. I figured - let him stay ignorant, he'll do less harm that way.

it's a funny thing to notice. those who understand the mechanisms and processes will try it out last (at least if it's not on his or her own box) and talking about it? i don't think so...

it's actually a pretty simple method of knowing if somebody really IS a hacker. does he/she talk about it a lot? even bragging about it? dude, it's probably not really a hacker....

[fashizzlepop]

I just realized I tend to shy away from telling people I'm a hacker even if they ask me directly. I've been called a hacker by people but I just never mention it or talk about it. I'll sure put someone in their place if they try to make shot up that sounds cool. People who do brag tend not be knowledgeable.
