The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker
RawGutts writes "This is the story of "bitchchecker" (the hacker) a user who lost it because he thought he had been kicked of an IRC channel by "Elch". The hacker comes back on the channel threatening to hack and ruin Elch's machine, and dares Elch to give his IP address.
The address given was 127.0.0.1. "
Sounds rather familiar to me...
It is the same reason for my URL I gibe http://localhost:8080 figuring some one will see that port 8080 is open on there system (probably from a failed attempt to get apache working) and start hacking it. If sucessfull they broke into their computer. As for the most moronic hacker I have seen worse threates. Like "My Dad owns the internet and he will have you band, then you will be sorry"
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

Something nice I read on www.stophiphop.de (got pointed there by a comment on www.macguardians.de) is this nice story of a hacker: http://www.beast.mos-worlds.de/modules/new...php?s toryid=184 (site might be down, quite a lot of people are reading this).
In case you don't speak german (just as this hacker), I've tried a little translation to english. I might have made some spelling errors, but the original spelling wasn't perfect either. The guy really said "buy buy" in the german version. I've posted this on the forum on http://www.desertcombat.com before, so if this looks familiar, might be the same. I've corrected some mistakes and put the < > back to the right version (The DC forum does not support them). All censoring was done by this particular forum here.
Notice that in germany we get DST earlier than in the US.
The story starts (I'm shortcutting here) with an [Please control your cussing] insulting everyone on the IRC channel. Most people there believed it was rather funny, but it got even more funny. For information: The dangerous hacker is called bitchchecker and the one being hacked and original author of the comments, who is talking here, is known as Elch. 127.0.0.1 is always the IP-adress of the computer you're currently using, any request there will return to your computer.

What happened is clear: That guy entered his own IP-Adress 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.

The feature your talking about is called "Strike Back" and what it does is send some email, do a port scan, some other shit. It does not, in face, "attack" anything in a meaningful way. It is just a colorful phrase.

Oh, I think it is real. There are a lot of clueless wannabe script kiddies out there who are too idiotic to know what 127.0.0.1 is
Why is it that the proponents of "one nation under God" are so eager to get rid of "liberty and justice for all"?
While I have not actually ever used it, I believe iptables for the Linux kernel has a module that can basically turn the firewall into a mirror, swapping the source and destination fields in the IP header and bouncing it back to the originator. It doesn't do any special tasks such as port scanning or anything. However, it is not recommended to use this particular module as it simply increases the flood of packets that you wind up sending down your line. It also makes your firewall far more useful as a reflector for a distributed attack on someone else, without even needing to break into your machine to do it.
I once got a story posted on my personal webpage by some guy who was complaining that he was being attacked by my computer on an IRC channel. I was like "I'm running OpenBSD, that's ridiculous."
/etc/pf.conf made the last rules allow everything, and then slapped on a big system immutable on it.
/etc/pf.conf before even getting the story, I was like, well easy enough to fix that. Now write out to disk. Hm... write-protected... well, just override that. What do you MEAN denied? I'M FREAKING ROOT!
Then I started finding evidence. You know, that was the first time I'd ever heard about the system immutable flag in OpenBSD. They screwed with my
So, when I actually had noticed the problem with my
Now, I system immutable flag all my important files that I don't want to change if some script kiddy does happen to get into my OpenBSD box.

It means the entire 127.x.x.x block is loopback addresses, not just 127.0.0.1
<xml><I><am><so><damn>Web 2.0</damn></so></am></I></xml>
The entire 127/8 is reserved for loopback purposes
:-)
Actually, 128 is not reserved for that purpose. Consider this:
Nah, he was using 127/8 as a netblock representation. saying 127/8 is equivalent to saying 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0, just as saying 192.168/16 is shorthand for 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
I didn't realize that some of the unices out there didn't respond to the other loopback IPs, though.
Slashdot. Hopefully everyone gets to learn something (relatively useless) today
Wrong. Read the RFC. The whole 127 is reserved, but only 127.0.0.1 is loopback.
:-)
bzzzzt. Time for an Anonymous coward to also learn something relatively useless today
according to RFC 1166:
The class A network number 127 is assigned the "loopback" function, that is, a datagram sent by a higher level protocol to a network 127 address should loop back inside the host. No datagram "sent" to a network 127 address should ever appear on any network anywhere.
