Just a while ago I'm cleaning out my messy online storage and found this logged conversation in the iRC when I was an iRC chat addict wayback during my freshmen years in college that was around year 2000 - The dangerous hacker is called Sk8terboi and the one being hacked and original author of the comments, who is talking here, is known as skrpterx. - 127.0.0.1 is always the IP address of the computer you're currently using; any request there will return to your computer. - Notice that in Philippines we get Daylight Savings Time (DST) earlier than in the US. [spoiler]The story starts (I'm shortcutting here) with a chatter insulting everyone on the #stopHipHop IRC channel. Most people there believed it was rather funny, but it got even more funny... * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-a97f9137.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#) * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-61a2169c.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop <Sk8terboi> why do you kick me <Sk8terboi> can't you discus normally <Sk8terboi> answer! <skrpterx> we didn't kick you <skrpterx> you had a ping timeout: * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-a97f9137.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#) <Sk8terboi> what ping man <Sk8terboi> the timing of my pc is right <Sk8terboi> i even have dst <Sk8terboi> you banned me <Sk8terboi> amit it you son of a bitch <HopperHunter|afk> LOL <HopperHunter|afk> shit you're stupid, DST^^ <Sk8terboi> shut your mouth WE HAVE DST! <Sk8terboi> for two weaks already <Sk8terboi> when you start your pc there is a message from windows that DST is applied. <skrpterx> You're a real computer expert <Sk8terboi> shut up i hack you <skrpterx> ok, i'm quiet, hope you don't show us how good a hacker you are ^^ <Sk8terboi> tell me your network number man then you're dead <skrpterx> Eh, it's 129.0.0.1 <skrpterx> or maybe 127.0.0.1 <skrpterx> yes exactly that's it: 127.0.0.1 I'm waiting for you great attack <Sk8terboi> in five minutes your hard drive is deleted <skrpterx> Now I'm frightened <Sk8terboi> shut up you'll be gone <Sk8terboi> i have a program where i enter your ip and you're dead <Sk8terboi> say goodbye <skrpterx> to whom? <Sk8terboi> to you man <Sk8terboi> buy buy <skrpterx> I'm shivering thinking about such great Hack0rs like you * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-61a2169c.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#) What happened is clear: That guy entered his own IP address in his mighty Hack-Tool and crashed his own PC. This way, the attack on my PC was a failure. I was already starting to think that I did not have to worry, but a good hacker never calls it a day. Two minutes later he returned. * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-b5cd558e.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop <Sk8terboi> dude be happy my pc crashed otherwise you'd be gone <Metanot> lol <skrpterx> Sk8terboi: Then try hacking me again... I still have the same IP: 127.0.0.1 <Sk8terboi> you're so stupid man <Sk8terboi> say buy buy <Metanot> ah, [Please control your cussing] off <Sk8terboi> buy buy elch * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-b5cd558e.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#) There was a tension in the room... Would he manage, after these two failures, to crash my PC? I waited. Nothing happened. I felt relieve... Six minutes passed by until he prepared the next wave of attack. Being a Hacker, who usually cracks whole data centers, he knew what his problem was now. * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-9ff3c180.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop <Sk8terboi> elch you son of a bitch <Metanot> Sk8terboi how old are you? <skrpterx> What's up Sk8terboi? <Sk8terboi> you have a frie wal <Sk8terboi> fire wall <skrpterx> maybe, i don't know <Sk8terboi> i'm 26 <Metanot> such behaviour with 26? <skrpterx> how did you find out that I have a firewall? <Metanot> tststs this is not very nice missy <Sk8terboi> because your gay fire wall directed my turn off signal back to me <Sk8terboi> be a man turn that shit off <skrpterx> cool, didn't know this was possible. <Sk8terboi> thn my virus destroys your pc man <Metanot> are you hacking yourselves? <skrpterx> yes Sk8terboi is trying to hack me <Metanot> he Sk8terboi if you're a hacker you have to get around a firewall even i can do that <Sk8terboi> yes man i hack the elch but the sucker has a fire wall the <Metanot> what firewall do you have? <Sk8terboi> like a girl <Metanot> firewall is normal a normal hacker has to be able to get past it...you girl^^ <He> Bitch give yourself a jackson and chill you're letting them provoce you and give those little girls new material all the time <Sk8terboi> turn the firewall off then i send you a virus [Please control your cussing]er <skrpterx> Noo <Metanot> he Sk8terboi why turn it off, you should turn it off <Sk8terboi> you're afraid <Sk8terboi> i don't wanna hack like this if he hides like a girl behind a fire wall <Sk8terboi> elch turn off your shit wall! <Metanot> i wanted to say something about this, do you know the definition of hacking??? if he turns of the firewall that's an invitation and that has nothing to do with hacking <Sk8terboi> shut up <Metanot> lol <Sk8terboi> my grandma surfs with fire wall <Sk8terboi> and you suckers think you're cool and don't dare going into the internet without a fire wall He calls me girly and says only his grandma would use a firewall. I know that elder people are much more intelligent then younger, but I couldn't let that rest. To see whether he really is a good hacker I lie and let everything as it is. I don't have a firewall at all, only my router. <skrpterx> Sk8terboi, a collegue showed me how to turn the firewall off. Now you can try again <Metanot> bitchhacker can't hack <Black<TdV>> nice play on words ^^ <Sk8terboi> wort man <skrpterx> Sk8terboi: I'm still waiting for your attack! <Metanot> how many times again he is no hacker <Sk8terboi> man do you want a virus <Sk8terboi> tell me your ip and it deletes your hard drive <Metanot> lol ne give it up i'm a hacker myself and i know how hackers behave and i can tell you 100.00% you're no hacker..^^ <skrpterx> 127.0.0.1 <skrpterx> it's easy <Sk8terboi> lolololol you so stupid man you'll be gone <Sk8terboi> and are the first files being deleted <skrpterx> mom... <skrpterx> i'll take a look In panic I started the Windows Explorer, my heart beating faster. Had I under-estimated him? <Sk8terboi> don't need to rescue you can't son of a bitch <skrpterx> that's bad <Sk8terboi> elch you idiout your hard drive g: is deleted <skrpterx> yes, there's nothing i can do about it <Sk8terboi> and in 20 seconds f: is gone Yes, true, G: and F: were gone. Did I ever have them? Doesn't matter, I did not have time to think, I was scared. Sk8terboi was comforting me with a music tip. <Sk8terboi> tupac rules <Sk8terboi> elch you son of a bitch your f: is gone and e: too Drive E:? Oh my god... All the games are there! And the vacation pictures! I instantly take a look. Everything still there. But the hacker said it was deleted.... Or isn't it happening on my computer? <Sk8terboi> and d: is at 45% you idiot lolololol <He> why doesn't meta say anything <skrpterx> he's probably rolling on the floor laughing <Black<TdV>> ^^ <Sk8terboi> your d: is gone <He> go on BITCH The guy is good: My CD-drive is allegedly deleted! Sk8terboi turned my ancient disk sucker into a burner! But how did he do this? I'll have to ask him. Some encourage him. He himself is giving advice how to avoid the disaster on my hard drives. <Sk8terboi> elch man you're so stupid never give your ip on the internet <Sk8terboi> i'm already at c: 30 percent Should I tell him he's not attacking my computer? * Sk8terboi (~java@euirc-9ff3c180.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#) Too late... It's 20:22 when we get the last message of our hacker with the alias "Sk8terboi". We see that he has a "Ping timeout". We haven't seen him since then... must be the Daylight Saving Time.[/spoiler]
