AV proposal // Communitystrike rapierJul 22, 2003, 7:17pm
I Would propose all cit emails are frozen for a time until someone kills M a
t t.... That way at least stolen cits can be instantly recovered -Mark calhounJul 22, 2003, 7:18pm
I say AW kicks M A T T by his IP, so if he does try logging on to a cit he
stole he can't [View Quote] strike rapierJul 22, 2003, 7:20pm

Calhoun, I believe he uses a proxy or some other means to cloak his real
IP address, so that won't do much good. And, does anyone really know it was M A T T again this time? Couldn't it be a copy cat? Builderz http://www.3dhost.net [View Quote] ryanJul 22, 2003, 7:31pm
Can try banning whole lists of proxies..bound to run out of proxies
sometime I'd say...lol Ryan [View Quote] ryanJul 22, 2003, 7:36pm
What? You want me to post the lists here? Ok, then other people can join
in on the proxy fun :) Ryan [View Quote] > The lists man! The lists! > > builderzJul 22, 2003, 7:37pm
You can try that, but he'd probably just find another one. Who knows,
you might even end up blocking an IP from a legitimate user. Also, someone could spoof the IP address of a large router or something (or even the IP address of the AW uniserver). Heh. Builderz http://www.3dhost.net [View Quote] baroJul 22, 2003, 8:08pm
Why doesn't someone just find where he lives, and go into his house and
give him a *trojan, and by that I mean brutal vicious anal rape? A lot of these people feel "safe" that they are just on a computer acting like an idiot, I'm sure someone lives near enough to him to dispence some vigilante justice. Quite frankly I think most hackers and spammers and such need some RL gang justice to perhaps jump-start their journy of growing up past the mentality of a 2 year old. *When brutaly sodomising a hax0r wannabie, always use protection. glitzy giftzJul 22, 2003, 8:16pm
Who was it that said it may not even be Matt, whoever that is. It's sad
that we all can't play nice irl and online. :-( Whoever it was will get what's coming to them. Justice will be served. Won't it? Innocent until proven guilty. Give Matt and peace a chance. :-) [View Quote] r i c h a r dJul 22, 2003, 10:06pm
Theres no way AW can block him by IP theres hundreds of thousands of public
access proxy's he can use .duo.Jul 23, 2003, 12:13am
Believe me, they've tried, but he using proxies. I could just as easily as
matt do the same thing... with a proxy. It isnt hard. We don't even know if all these people are matt... [View Quote] .duo.Jul 23, 2003, 12:14am

I wonder if they have logs of him on his own cit with his computer name, so
they can possibly block that. sw chrisJul 23, 2003, 2:22am
Ahem... they have his credit card information from when his citizen was
registered. Er go, they have his address. So why doesn't AW do anything? Beats me. Perhaps the situation is not as simple as it looks. Chris [View Quote] pc hamsterJul 23, 2003, 3:26am

He's not lucky, he uses proxies. There is no way to catch him.

Maybe he usd a fake card or something? If he didn't, then this whole thing
is bull. Making viruses is a serious offense, as well as hacking. I don't see why aw couldn't at least sue him or take him to court. [View Quote] legionJul 23, 2003, 9:36am

Would be sorta useless, as the data would go back to the spoofed IP, not the cracker. It works with DoS attacks, could work on some UDP systems, but not in a TCP environment like AW.

Yep, that's correct. They could send data to the server, but wouldn't be
able to get a response back. But knowing how most people think that whoever is making these Trojans in a "real hacker," they probably wouldn't know the difference. I was just saying that it was possible (why someone would do it besides trying to do a DoS attack, I don't know). Another thing that can be done that I haven't seen others mention would be to simply break into the NG server and steal passwords that way as well. They may be encrypted, but given enough time, I'm sure they could be decrypted. Builderz http://www.3dhost.net [View Quote] builderzJul 23, 2003, 12:24pm
There are still ways to catch people that use proxies, even if they
"chain" them together. However, if he rotates proxies like every thirty seconds and has a large list of them, that'd be a real pain in the butt to track. Builderz http://www.3dhost.net [View Quote] andrasJul 23, 2003, 12:34pm

OTOH DNews (the NG software) uses a one way hash to store the password, so it is almost impossible to crack it (well,, not really if you have the same server software and have plenty of time at your hand to try all possible combination and compare the resulting hash with the stolen database). -- Andras "It's MY computer" (tm Steve Gibson) andrasJul 23, 2003, 12:36pm
