How Stupid Are People??

over 900 pedophiles were infected with a sub7 defcon version and the victems infected were used in DDoS attacks against dif host. The victems were infected with files such as Sexxxymovie.mpeg.exe When the file is executed on a Windows platform, it installs itself as a randomly named file and alerts its author using irc.icq.com Internet Relay Chat network. The software listens for requests on port 16959, a deviation from previous versions of the Trojan. From a logs i got that i will not post because im to lazy to edit all the host and IPs out ... it shows the bots attacking many websites and other such things like dalnet servers.

They talk about the owner testing dif DoS methods from the bots such as a powerfull UDP flooder called Shiver (which old head packet monkeys will rember from way back ;) and things like IGMP attacks.

Also there were logs of ISP hubs being attacked from many semi-popular ISPs like compuserve, mindspring, and many others...

another funny thing is a popular snort accually added rule sets against this acidphreak DDoS ;)

alert tcp any 16959 -> any any (msg:"BACKDOOR-SIGNATURE - SubSeven DEFCON8 2.1 Backdoor Access!"; content: "PWD"; content:"acidphreak"; nocase;)

I have a interview with "acidphreak" if any of you would like me to post it just ask

heres some light reading ....

oddly enough... i found out about another problem that is going on that is similar. as many of you know, people like to send you links to some really crazy stuff usually as a joke. (i know lots of people who think sending gay porn links are funny) well here is the deal, there is a site that when you click on the link, it sends you to a gay porn site which pops up hundreds of windows with the same picture, and plays a sound file stating "i'm looking at gay porn" pretty funny, eh? well here is the point.... the other "funny" part is that the site tries to automatically download a virus for you. ( i believe it was one of the js.exception family, but it was my friends pc and he was flipping out so he hit crtl+alt+delete twice, rather soon after he clicked the link, but after he got the virus message.) what a fun internet this is

netsyn, you're pretty ****ing stupid yourself kiddo

oblio when did ur opinion ever mean anything to anyone? look at ur negative points and look at my positive points ;)


ur a idiot get over it..


as for my post i found it interesting if u didnt get over it dont be mad at me because of ur sad life here ;x



as for the negative points for this post u mid as well keep them comming if u disagree with sumthin i said because thats how this works ;) but oblio ur just a idiot plain out and basic ;)




_NetSyN_

i never give out antipoints ever, perhaps someone just doesn't like you

well this "person" is sad and scared... they did not give a reason they did not leave a tag and they did not send me a message yet... id love to hear why they disagree with my post or opinions

till then thier just a pus ;)

_NetSyN_

I'm pretty stupid. Or should I interpret this topic retorical? :)

(quit "MakeWarNotLove"-ing people...)

saying thier idiots or stupid is the wrong word and i retract it... a better word to be used is uneducated or ignorant... i hope this post might brighten some minds


just because a file is has MPEG in it doesnt mean its a MPEG
just because a file ends in SCR doesnt mean its not gonna run as a EXE
Dont be stupid.. when something sounds fishy it normally is.. when something sounds to good to be true it probly is false

use ur brain... weve all been tricked numerous amounts of times... lets just make sure our mistakes dont hurt others

reminds me of a post i seen a wee while ago
/me goes searching through forum

well slightly different as this post (<- by Patteman) concerns running a programe from a web-site but its still scary!

You could combine the 2 techniques one bit downloads the virus onto your comp the other runs it - nice thought huh!?
