Well I just got hacked for the first time :) -note to self, don't insult hackers-

How do I know? Cause I called a hacker sad and a few seconds later he closed down all my internet windows >.<

So NSG, have you ever been hacked? (not the board the people on the board :tongue:)

Nope can say as I have...

Its no fun?

Its no fun?

Just saying I've never had my computer hacked as far as I know. I've had my identity stolen once but they didn't get that through MY computer... might have even been a bank employee. I can go on about that story if you want.

You're sure your browser didn't just flake out?

Well what concerns me most about it is literally a second after he said he would hack me he closed my internet windows, if some one can get through my defences in like a second then I am really ... open to attack.

You're sure your browser didn't just flake out?

Uhh he threatened then a second later he closed my windows, now I can't get the thing I was on to work, it'd be a massive coincidence if it was just my browser messing up.

I had someone steel my soc and credit card numbers... they bought $3,000 worth of porn, dating sites, and sex toys in 24 hours... It was actually quite painless to get it fixed though... I don't understand why so many people say its hard to fix ID theft. I got my card cancelled, changed my account number and the bank dropped all the charges.

Nope. No that I know any hackers.

Ahh I just got hacked again >.<

I know Hackers, most of them I've pissed of every now and again but he's the first to actually hack me. If I knew anything about him I could get some of my friends to counter hack him....

but in the mean time I'm sitting here getting annoyed at my defencelessness.

Very simple defense... turn off computer, unplug modem. Wait about 15 minutes and they will go about some other business.

Yeah but the thing is I was trying to talk to some one ... and now's she gone >.< apparently he can't take a friendly joke.

Are you sure you got hacked, and it wasn't just you went on a sex bender, woke up feeling guilty and decided you had to say something to explain all the tubs of lube and 10" dildos turning up on your doorstep?

"Oh my God, my account's been hacked. Again!"

I know people claiming to be with Anonymous (does anyone actually take them seriously lol? Anonymous I mean)

I for one do not take anyone who runs around trumpeting that they belong to Anonymous seriously.

I feel like I'm spamming this thread...

I can think of better things to spend money on than sex toys and dating sites... it weren't me...

Two excellent examples.

I guess hookers count as sex toys though don't they? ....

your likely not dealing with a hacker. he is likely just a script kiddie. stop talking to him and black him on what ever median you talk to him. then go to windows menu go to run: type in cmd. (or however you get to your command prompt vista is different) once at the command prompt type ipconfig/release (this dis connects your internet) wait a few mintues then type ipconfig/renew. this should get rid of him as it will change your IP address. I got to ask do you not have a firewall and router ? those normally stop most of this.

I'm guessing he looked something like this, yes?

I was quite nearly hacked with an axe a while back, does that count? Had he hit me, I imagine it would have been quite unpleasant.

Were you on steroids at the time? Did you blow up any vans?

I stopped talking to him .. what an ass one moment we where joking around then he took it too far.

Oh and I have the Firefox script thing, that's supposed to give me control? Plus loads of other firefox safety add ons.

You should buy a dog.

I guess you could say I'm a hacker. I hacked a 10' walnut tree in my backyard into pieces over the course of an afternoon, so I can attest to the damage hackers can do. It was nasty. It probably wouldn't have taken as long if I'd had an ax, but I like to be old school and use a hacksaw... because it has HACK in it. And also because we had a hacksaw and not an ax.

I have also used garden shears. Don't make me prune a bitch.

You should buy a dog.

What evil did dogs ever do to you?

Were you on steroids at the time? Did you blow up any vans?
No, but I did shit my pants and run away like a little girl (that is to say, like a little girl who has just been caught in bed with a redneck's daughter and is now desperately fleeing for her life).

What evil did dogs ever do to you?
None, but its a well known fact that dogs are the only defense against hackers on steroids.
*Nods sagely*

Ah, that probably doesn't count, then. Blowing up vans is a key part of being a hacker on steroids.

I wasn't the hacker (who was probably on Budweiser, or whatever horrible liquid they drink in North Carolina), I was almost the hackee.

Budweiser is unamerican! Stupid Belgians! (no offense, really, just the Belgians that bought out Budweiser. And those that support the buying-out of Budweiser.)

And feel free to call me an idiot if it was a different country.

Real Authentic Budweiser is Czech anyways :p

Jesh, just release your IP via the instructions and when you run into him again, tell him you've updated your security and your new IP is 127.0.0.1. That'll keep him busy for a bit while you go and get a firewall.

So NSG, have you ever been hacked? (not the board the people on the board :tongue:)

At work, not at home (so far, pray to the Gods of Trend Micro for even more protections).

I know people claiming to be with Anonymous (does anyone actually take them seriously lol? Anonymous I mean)

The problem starts when Anonymous takes you seriously. :eek:

Had a server hacked once and had to reupload everything (several sites). I've also been DDoS'd.

apparently he can't take a friendly joke.

I take such events as a sign that the hacker really does *need* to get out more :p

Now I am Anonymous as well ! PH3AR my l33t H@ckz0rz 5sk1llz !!! Oneoneone.

Ahem. Seriously though - a hacker is someone who likes to know how his/her computer works. So feel free to consider me a hacker ;)

Firefox is a good browser however it is not a firewall. you need to get a firewall and a router. Firefox only protects you from stuff coming in via your browser. once someone has your IP address they can attack you more directly.

So, who does your computer work then, and what's the range on it's remote control capacity when it's working him/her?

Even then, it's just a matter of waiting for them to get bored and move on. Look at how Project Chanology died down quietly.

Damn that Budweiser !

Yes Stupid Belgians for thinking it is a beer, really why do Americans still drink fermented liquid that has rice in it? I know why a lot of American companies started making it and chucked in corn and rice, but why do they still accept it as beer.

Isn't that the whole reason why he became a hacker? He doesn't get out enough.

Actually when I was about 15 IIRC maybe 14, there was this little dickhead at school who used to claim he could hack into my computer he never did, but he did manage to control a friend's computer, the funny thing was that she told her parents about it who immediately rang up his parents and he got in quite a bit of trouble I couldn't help but laugh, no wonder people didn't like him. It was quite funny when he claimed he was hacking in my NS account, that's right he was still doing it 2-3 years later.

I have never been hacked and hope I never am but I make sure I have precautionary measures in case I am.

It was attempted once...

I had just upgraded to XP, doing the upgrade thing, so we didn't format before hand. Cause I was computer n00b the antivirus didn't work and no firewall. Anyway, computer worked (albeit slower) and randomly shutting down occasionally. So, I was on MSN one night talking to a mate from school and we started having a bit of a disagreement [mock hacker speak here] so he decided he would 'hack' me. He got a mutual friend to convince me to run an exe (yeah... bad idea I know now) and thus he had opened a port in. Anyway, he connects and what do you know, his computer shuts down! Tries it again and it does the same thing! Mutual friend has a go and same thing happens to him.

Turns out, that I had MSblast on my computer (which was why it was shutting down randomly) and when he hacked me it must have infected his computer. needless to say, He was pissed off and he has never tried it again!

This is rich. A trojan horse for a trojan horse trick.

Isn't that the whole reason why he became a hacker? He doesn't get out enough.I was more getting at that the complete lack of anything else to do, and a lack of perspective, is the reason these jerks get so pissed over little stuff.

If a hacker was trying to get into a bank's computer to set up a bogus $10 Million account, or something of that nature, I think the motivation behind the act would probably be quite different from what motivates some jerk who takes what's said online way too seriously.

hacker /n./

[originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming. 3. A person capable of appreciating hack value. 4. A person who is good at programming quickly. 5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a Unix hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.) 6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example. 7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password hacker', `network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is cracker.

The term `hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global community defined by the net (see network, the and Internet address). It also implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some version of the hacker ethic (see hacker ethic).

It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in identifying yourself as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are not, you'll quickly be labeled bogus). See also wannabee.


I would be proud to be a hacker, alas I only do some hacks occasionally.

Don't think I've ever been hacked before. I'm behind a router and running Linux, not sure how hard that would make it... The weakest point is probably the wireless encryption. When I moved in the router was already WEP and has stayed so.

My Dad, 10 years ago or so, thought he was being hacked. He was was logging all the activity on his connection and was getting a lot of activity from this one IP. Turned out it was some sort of keep alive ping from his ISP.

The problem starts when Anonymous takes you seriously. :eek:

Bah I have connections to anonymous apparently (my friend or something) :p

And while I don't think they have anything better to do than hack me I'll pretend like they must have.

Well the best way to not get hacked .... is to not laugh at the hackers (gah my fatal flaw!)
