Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised?
tmandry writes "The world's largest FOSS IRC network, FreeNode, was hijacked (for lack of a better term) by someone who somehow got a hold of the privileges of Robert Levin, AKA lilo, the head honcho of FreeNode and its parent organization, PDPC. To make matters worse, the passwords of many users may have been compromised by someone posing as NickServ, the service that most clients are configured to send a password to upon connecting, while they reconnected to the servers that hadn't been killed. Of course, if someone was able to nab lilo's password, every user password may have been ripe for the taking. The details are still unknown, but these events raise scary questions about the actual security of FreeNode and other organizations like it."
I have the wide end of a fire extinguisher up my ass and it feels like burning.
The following replies are posted by unwashed nerds.
Clearly FOSS is for cleaning your teeth; nothing more.

From http://www.gnaa.us/pr.phtml?troll=gnaa-freenet:
Ten-thousand Freenet User Identities Compromised
Rucas - Dongs-Hojrup, Denmark
Early this Afternoon the Gay Nigger Association of America claimed responsibility for the compromising of over 10,000 Freenet user identities. Norwegian correspondant DiKKy explained, "LOL by using a huge Turkish botnet LOL HY HY we were able to create drones on the Freenet network LOL. Using these drones HY HY HY we were able to triangulate, by IP LOL, who was responsible for the introduction of any file on the Freenet network LOL GLUG GLUG GLUG HY."
After DiKKy collapsed in a pool of his own filth, GNAA Security officer supers made the following statement, "Once we were able to trace which IPs had been uploading child pornography to the network (which in the end turned out to be every host that had ever connected to the network,) we were able to remove every IP controlled by our leader, timecop, from our compiled database and submit the remaining information to the Department of Justice. Fags."
Arrests are expected to begin within the week.

We are deputized by merit to punish the meritless. Your lack of perspective leads you to view us as wrongdoers. I assure you that the service which we provide humanity is a net positive boon. Systems without conflict or purgings become uselessly weak.
Rob Levin is a failure. He and his wife refuse to work. They are currently sucking off the teat of the federal government collecting disability for ADHD. He is a vile, disgusting example of modern American worthlessness and a sane society would expel him or put him in a work camp.
Big Black Queer?
I don't advocate the GNAA. Get lost. You are not welcome here.
I am the nightmare of nightmares.
No thanks, I don't need the egodrama and oper thuggery that is even worse than Freenode that is known as SlashNET.
Still, fact remains that lilo is a moron for having just his user in oper mask. Should have been a ip. Stupid.
