guess what happened next.

lol ..now that is funny !!

LOL, whilst this is truly funny, the sad thing is that this happens every day to so many people in so many channels. Its part of everyday irc life :p

Thx for the laughs though.

To quote Larry the Cable Guy "I don't care who you are, that's funny right there"

OMG ...........
I'm turning GEEKY

I actually GOT IT :D

I do this with iptables sometimes, although not quite as obviously.

I divert any new incoming connections to the MIRROR target, which reverses the source and destination IP addresses and retransmits the packet. Then I blow the firewall wide open.

Sit back and watch people try to hack thier own box. :rofl:

Gotta be careful I don't get used as a DoS proxy though if somebody figures it out.

Fun times.

..... Wow, and to think the number of times I've been called stupid....
