Saw the work of a hacking genius tonight Magic..

LOL some fucker botnetted my nephews laptop and it was a work of art really... Of course the Windows update and anti-virus update were throttled and turned off...... (For months no matter how the kid tried to say he updated everyday).... But this fucker had actually accessed root access remotely and the kids 160GB Hard drive was only allowing HIM 15 GB of it for his use?!?!?!?!?!

AND the hacker ALSO has a knowledge of UNIX systems as well...... I went to see if I could reformat it......... it rejected the Gparted liveCD, and it also wouldn't run DBAN without going into command line as root and then wiping the HD that way instead........ Whoever he was he was pretty darn good at what he did........

I can usually wipe a highly infected system with no problems at all, But this cat almost made salvaging the HD impossible... Never saw anything quite like it before.....


Scary shit out there....


I feel sorry for the folks that are using limewire and frostwire... there is no honor amongst theives in the cyber-community... LOL People might get a couple of hundred songs for free and then get their bank accounts wiped out later...

AND low and behold as I speak trying to load a linux distro on it and it is going into kernel panic....before the Live CD can even boot.....

Got my work cut out for me tonight....(good thing I love this shit....)

LOL damn.... he also put something in their that disrupts the Master Boot Record if you attempt recovery with a CD......getting the damn Err2Err3 message now.......


Grrrrrrrrr, Looks like I am going to have to crack his machine open and slip the HD into an external case and see if I can reformat it there....

This wasn't done by one of the cheap Eastern Block guys....

LOL got it....

and another miserable hackers hard work bites the dust!!!

Alright you two, Im going to need some assistance..Long story short, My Aunt purchased a CD set box on one of those off the wall not EBAY or Craigs List sights, she paid 167.00 for the sets thru pay-pal..

Do i need to go further?? lol

No Cd's, and the seller dosent have any money in the acct for pay-pal to reimburse my Aunt..

Can we find out who this cock sucker is with just a screen name??

If we can Ill get the screen name, and you two can show me proper way to contact this fucker, Whoever it is has an AOL account. I do know that much.

Doesn't Pay-Pal have any sort of purchase-protection plan?

Nope, only if the acct holder has sufficient funds in their account.

Thas an issue she has to have with Paypal.... I know with Ebay there is a dispute process she could go through, but if it was just a private transaction there probably isn't a whole lot she could do.... SHe could try and file a fraud report, but it might just be a very expensive lesson on being careful who deal with on the internet... Because even if she has the persons actual name, then you have to go through USsearch or somewhere else and pay them to track them down, then they could be who knows where. You could maybe try to look around the interent and see if they have anything else for sale and see if you could run a scambait on them .. but thats just a wild shot in the dark. But more than anything else you will never find them.

Seems like Paypal COULD do more really... because I sold my old smartphone from sprint on Ebay, and didn't know Sprint had locked it down.. I refunded the money no problems.. but told the woman to go ahead and file a report with paypal, that way they refunded her money that same day and I paid paypal back from my checking account.... So it would seem like Paypal actually COULD do something about it.
