I hate these people

[d0gcomplex]

how many times do i have to open my mail to find crap like this.(see below) Just because i'm registered on hack in the box or slashdot or even the defcon forums.

"From : ABCclickonme
Message : the reason i need help is i think my wife is cheating on me and i know there is some guy sending her mail and she is away visting relatives so if u know to hack into aol accounts could u like kinda tell me how? cuz i dont know her password and aol wont help me so if u could i would appericate it"

People like this are the reason computers should be taken away form the general public. If a person thinks just because i like to read news related to technology that i want to help him break his wifes passwords or what ever else he/she is to stupid to do. god how hard is it to go buy a keystroke logger to capture a password. If you think your spouse is cheating on you confront him/her don't bother people with your petty help me crack an aol password crap.


sorry about the little rant but i get two to three of these a day between my various accounts and it's always teach me to do this, tell me how to do this, all i can do on a computer is write E~mail to bother people i don't know because a site they are a regesterd user of has nerd or hack in the name.

That's not bad.

If you think you have it bad, try being me. You might be registered on those sites, but try

a) Running your local 2600 meeting.
b) Having "Goon" under your name on these forums.
c) Being the Senior Content Admin on hackinthebox.
d) Running/Helping Run several websites that cater to hackers.

You can only imagine the flood of mail I get like this. Although, I guess by doing all of the things above, I'm kind of asking for it. I was thinking about setting up an archive of these types of messages. But I just haven't found the time.

You should do what I do. Archive every spam that you get. Then when one of these morons send you an email, kindly subscribe them to each of the mailing lists from good people who are curious if "herbal viagra" can change your life. A few emails from the "Enlarge your penis naturally in 30 days" folks should keep them busy enough to leave you alone for a while.

My way of dealing with this problem was to create a page on a free hosting service containing the email address of every person that pissed me off plus about five dozen keywords (just copy what pr0n sites use to drive up their hits) guaranteed to attract the attention of spambots. This URL was then submitted to the major search engines, and nature took care of the rest.

I hear that..I should post some of 23.orgs kookmail sometime..at least you get morons asking for help hacking passwords. We get some seriously odd shit (the number 23 has historical signifigance, weird, strange, historical signifigance). I get everything from 'how do I hack' emails to 'When the dog points towards the sunrise, the great spirt will awaken!!! 23232323232323'

How about when the person that wants to hire you to investigate is your lover's husband? (not that I would know anything about this of course...) ;) Funny how the world works though... oh well too many lonely MiLF's on AIM...

the dumbest

I had a meeting today and while waiting I had a little fun. I took some of the small post it notes and wrote on the top half "This sticker provided to help you remmeber your password" with a line at the bottom. Then I stuck them all over the office during lunch on the monitors of unoccuped computers.

Well the meeting is out and as I walked out I saw that two folks had written their passwords down, or they wrote some number/letter combination, I'll check at 6pm to see if they really put their passwords down.

At this rate I guess Post-Its will soon become a controlled item! Be sure to bring some for the 'con!

LOL, what a bunch of sheep.
