Slashdot Mirror
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. "
This is news? Incidentally, you might want to publish something on Local Comic "Bloodninja"...
The 127.1 joke has been around for ages..
- It's not the Macs I hate. It's Digg users. -
Sure. Hack me. My hostname is warez.ziew.org

Ummm, they have firewalls that can "attack back". Just check out Sidewinder's strikeback function..
I don't read AC A human right
You asshole! You stole the website I'm developing!!!!
I'm contacting my lawyer right now!
Windows seems to consider all IPs in the 127.0.0.0/8 network as loop backs. You can try it for yourself and see. I can successfully ping 127.3.15.2 on my machine, and any IP in that network, and it hits the loopback.
Just something to consider in case there are script kiddies out there who have heard of 127.0.0.1.
dur, I'd not noticed that "News for nerds, stuff that matters"(tm) was just a trademark; not a statement of fact or intent. What a tool I am.
"20% overrated? Was the act of putting it on Slashdot so people can read it overrated or was the article itself overrated"
Some might consider it karma whoring, which is stupid if you really think about it.
It's not like its money or something with actual value were talking about.
Karma is capped at 50 anyhow (oops, I mean "excellent"), and if you post intelligently, I don't see how you wouldn't hit the max in a short time anyhow.
Mod me down if you like. My karma's been maxed for a long time and I dont really give a damn anyway.
Oh, and as a side note to clueless moderators....
Don't moderate something "redundant" just because it appears in a thread further down the page. Look at the timestamp.

Hell, I've got "redundant" set to +1. Too many mods use "redundant" as a way to silence opinions they don't like. And when it comes time to meta-mod I always leave "redundant" mods as neutral.
I saw this joke in the User Friendly Internet-published comic strip so many years ago now that I can't remember the date off the top of my head, although I remember the strip well. This sounds like just the most recent retelling of an old saw.
