Hi horse,
No one ever asks me to be their hack-sensei...sob!...guess I'm just not leet enough :D
Eg ;)
Trust me, I don't want to be the "go to" guy for l33t hax0r training. It's bad enough that I turned some interns loose with knowledge that can be used for nafarious purposes.
Don't worry Egal, I will simply pass these folks along to you in the future! ;)
Hmmm, don't get them as much as you do, but this is one I've kept:
It cracked me up ...Quote:
Please help, how to know password of administrator WTF I think I'm hacked please help !!! I want to catch this b1atch
.C.
Won't they be shocked when they get my answers ! :DQuote:

Th13 - you should put together a really long article that leads them down some path of no return. Like maybe use that paper generator that was developed at MIT and see if that doesnt confuse the hell out of them.
As for your question I'm clearly not in the l337 bracket so I dont get these PM's

Hi preacherman,

I was thinking of simply saving up all the stupid questions and making a post of em.
--Th13
That could well prove very amusing :)
I get a few, maybe one a month.......................mostly I get legit questions about old hardware and operating systems, which is fair enough as they are usually too specific to make them worth a thread in the forums.
:DQuote:
(1) tell me how to hack our own computer and (2) how to hack the password of screensaver
Hmmmm....................
1. Turn your computer on.
2. Turn your computer off, then back on again.
I didn't realise that I was a l33t hax0r :p
This week's retard:

hi there,
I am looking for someone who can hack into the university of Manchester server for me and get access to some exmination papers if you think you can do this then please let me know as soon as possibly so i would attache some details for you.
I am willing to pay up to $ 3000 for 5 papers each for $ 600 for this work.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Regards,
Shahram
Howdy.
Thehorse, i recieved the Pm first, so don't even think about claiming the $600 bucks. ;)
Hey TH, would it be unethical to notify the University of this activity? ;)
Hell no, why would that be unethical? You are notifying an agency/company/entity that you've seen information (on the 'net, so potentially unreliable) that someone is soliciting for crimes against that agency/company/entity. It's a polite heads up, in my book.Quote:

But I am curious...maybe I am missing a piece of the puzzle. What makes you think it could be unethical?
Giving what is "perceived" as private information (user info) to the university.
Oh! /me slaps forehead
You mean, sharing info we as mods can garner about the user to the U? That IS a good question. Check your PM box.
I can't imagine you could get into trouble for providing the university with something this ninny gave to you freely.Quote:

If it was the US, I'm sure the words "lawsuit" and "lawyers" would be whipped out faster than you can say.. "schmuck". ;)Quote:

Freely he may given it but it is the "perception" of privacy that is critical, IMO.
Well...(/me cracks knuckles)...with my immense legal background watching reruns of Law & Order on TNT, I think I'd be happy to go to court on that case. I think it's funny how the young-ins of this world seem to think that privacy on the Internet is somehow guaranteed. Look at all the MySpace and FaceBook issues that are coming up. Students are posting images of themselves on FaceBook doing all kinds of illegal things like drinking underage, vandalism, and hazing and then wonder why the schools are busting them. Let's put it into another context and see if it's any different:
You get a letter in your mailbox that says, "I'm will pay you $6000 to steal my friend's car." Does the sender still have an expectation of privacy? Maybe he has an expectation that YOU get the message unread by anyone else (part of his agreement with the USPS when he buys a stamp), but it seems to me that the privacy stops there. The letter has been delivered, and it is now yours to do with what you will. I could probably cite the appropriate Law & Order episodes with similar premises, if you'd like. :bigsmile:
Yes but we have one of those user agreement policies and specifically: a Privacy Policy. Add something like this into the mix and it does muddy the waters a bit. It ain't just "youngins" that seem to have this perception. ;)
Maybe I missed something, but JUPM's privacy policy seems to only illustrate my point:
This guy is solely responsible for his own stupidity by providing information to other users freely.Quote:
If you use JUPM's discussion threads, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these discussion threads. In order to avoid your e-mail address or other personal information from being gathered and used by others for inappropriate or harmful purposes, JUPM advises that you should be cautious about posting a real e-mail address or other personal information to newsgroups, chats, or other public forums.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Certain JUPM media properties use a shopping cart feature that safeguards this information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted servers. SSL codes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information. Other JUPM media properties do not use SSL and thereby do not offer a secure coded way to transfer information.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
And, with all due respect, I don't see how the ruling in your other post can muddy these waters. True, if internet usage may be as prevalent as using the phone or reading a paper, but from what I read, that ruling didn't address any issues of privacy. I would certainly not fault you for concern about turning this guy in, but I'm sticking with my Law and Order ruling. :bigsmile:
Perhaps I missed it in the PM that was sent out but I don't recall him publicizing his email address or personal information?
I was simply referring to his name, and perhaps the time of the PM. You could narrow things down a bit from there.
Hmmm. This thread seems to have taken on a life of its own...
Anyway, no I don't feel it's unethical to turn in retards. I would turn in someone who told me that they need a get away driver for a bank robbery they're planning. To me, the retard of the week and the bank robber are one in the same. I believe the university would love to know that a potential crime may be commited against them.
One last thought. Public tipsters make up more than half the leads that police follow. Without the "heads up" from the street, the police would be at a disadvantage. Same goes for anyone else looking to secure and protect.

PS
The AO policy was read before I posted any info on the retard. I'm perfectly within bounds. Believe it or not, I've done this sort of thing before. Hehehe. Wink, wink.
