Slashdot Mirror
Hacked Sites of the Future
Innova sent us
a hilarious page over at 2600.com
which has proposals for replacement homepages for a few
popular sites, should someone happen to crack them. The
Victims are Microsoft, Amazon.com, the Whitehouse, and
2600 itself. Some of the funniest stuff I've
seen in days.
That's been around for a *long* time.
still good tho

I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going.
I'm very disappointed CmdrTaco publicly sort of endorse site crackers (or wannabes) and the 2600-underground. :-).
Thus, I will boycott slashdot.org for one day (wait, that's too hard, let's say for one hour
It may have been around for a while but it's never seen so many hits before...
By all of what.... 3 users?
=)
I would normally agree with your statement, but it is not the case here. If you read the 2600 site, they state quite clearly:
"These were submitted by people who like to be clever and witty but who don't really want to launch federal probes by being clever and witty. So they've gone ahead and modified some famous web sites without actually hacking them."
Perfectly acceptable in my point of view.
Later.
That certainly didn't take long.. :(

Hmmmm.. :)
Maybe 2600 should consider their own site a bit healthier in stead of cracking other people's without an invitation.. I got two pages right, but after a LOT of 'Connection reset' messages, it was not possible to view the rest (or it would have taken me a few days
I guess someone shoulda warned 2600 in advance so they'd know to add about 15 more servers to loadshare and a bunch more bandwidth. Don't you just love the effect /. can have? After seeing this, I think I'm glad I've never been /.'d!
Now remember boys and girls, hacking is bad, don't do anything NAUGHTY! ;)

So....
/. effect is becoming quite positive.
The "almighty hackers" have been slashdotted.
I thought they're smarted than that.
I think the
even better, i suggest a "distibuted net" slashdot-daemon,
It will check slashdot.org/effect and slashdot all the links from there automaticly.
(that would be a good way to knock some NT sites quickly such as algore2000 and microsoft)

Not to nitpick, but shouldn't this be the funny-foot icon?

That they don't have the old DoJ page, when it got hacked. I never got to see it, and I've heard that it was quite hilarious. Apparently, a group of Macintosh Hackers broke in, and rewrote the whole page. I heard rumors that it was renamed the 'Department of Injustice', and that a picture of Hitler was placed on the front page. Does anyone know if there's a copy of this floating around somewhere for those of us who missed it? It was only up for one day.
Another site that would be funny to see hacked would be the IRS homepage. Anyone got ideas for what could be done to it?

Obviously some people haven't heard of the fact that words in the english language have multiple meanings!
You know it's not only /. that causes this sort of thing. I used to work at an ISP in Chicago, and we used to dread when a customer would call us and say "We're going to be cool site of the day tomorrow, is that a problem?" If the people would have ever given us more than 24 hours of notice we would never have had a problem, but generally it was at 5pm the day before, or 9am the day of. :-) (Hmm warning.. Something to consider, Rob?)

According to the OS scanner at mailsearch.particle.net, they're running their server on AIX 4.
:(
So either their server is badly misconfigured, old hardware, or AIX just plain sucks for Web serving.
Of course, that might be inaccurate -- Netcraft can't ger the OS type

It's simply a better weapon. I wonder what would happen if we all focused our efforts in slashdotting www.microsoft.com. Just for one day. I'd for one like to see what they can take.
Yeah, I know I'm immature.

first of all, emmanuel is a looser, he cares more about the "hacker mentality" than he actually knows what he's doing, listen to his radio show some time, it's a hoot. second of all, i love how you will often hear 2600 say "hey, we don't condone the 'hacking' of websites, however, we will post an up to date count and archive of every single site that's been hacked! we'll also put up hacked pages of the future! but remember, we don't like it, so don't do it." these pages have been around for months, and it's just dumb in my opinion.
2600.com is blocked my my company's proxy! Anyone know why? We use some third party database - not sure which one. They blocked www.askjeeves.com last month. Value for money database, eh?
"These were submitted by people who like to be clever and witty but who don't really want to launch federal probes by being clever and witty. So they've gone ahead and modified some famous web sites without actually hacking them."
Perfectly acceptable in my point of view.
I agree with you. But what is so clever about modifing or even hacking a web site?
Film at 11. Rob could make a fortune in the extortion racket.
Here's an interesting fact to consider: as an American citizen living overseas I still need to file taxes. Not only that but I have a few other forms to fill out then I did when I lived in the states.
So if you don't mind, leave the IRS alone. It's a lot easier to download pdf files off the net then it is to take a half day off work to go down to the American Embassy in Ballsbridge through Dublin traffic. Assuming they even have tax forms there.
In lieu of cracking www.irs.gov, why not write your congressperson and ask them why Americans living overseas have to *file* tax returns even though most often they don't have to pay US taxes (so I end up wasting time, and the IRS ends up wasting time, to determine that I owe $0)? Just a thought...
US Citizen living abroad? Register to vote!
Yes, its true... 2600 has now discovered
the next generation of hacking, it's called:
"Platonic Hacking"
In this make believe world of hacking and
cracking, people challenge each other by
producing big corporation look-a-like web sites
on GeoCities and Xoom.
This is a turn in hacking history, I am sure
Mitnick is sorry he didnt think of this...

I asked: Where can I find an inexpensive Sun's Sparc Workstation?
Then all I've got is a bunch of "statistical information about the celestial body" and "Internet resources for the science topic" and "coupons on the WWW" dammit! Jeeves seems pretty stupid.
BTW I know where to find a cheap Sun box (comp.sys.sun.wanted), I was just making fun of our little retarded friend Jeeves.
Just something to think about...
these guys are, at minimum, wannabe hackers, right? so, then while getting a bazillion hits might be kewl, getting so many hits that your machines fail FROM ONE REFERENCE SITE might not be so great...
What if one of them tries to "make justice?" I'm not saying that their site says anywhere that they're gonna do that(it wouldn't anyway), or that there's any indication of it...but I think that the majority of people that consider themselves "hackers" would lack enough maturity to just let something like this go...(no offense to anyone...that's a general statement, and as such, as exceptions)
Turn on that security, Rob...
man....I love this. Why hacked a site when you can /. it.
"Klaatu, verada, necktie!" -Ash
I think its is the content and some of the graphics that were chosen for the hack sites which can be called "clever and witty", rather than the idea itself. Some of it was quite funny. Since the site has been /.'ed into oblivion, I can't give any examples right now.

Joao "no clever nor witty
Slashdot has already been hacked. A fairly witty one, for the most part. (And hey, don't complain to me about saying "hacked" - that's a direct quote from our fearless leader Rob.)
Whats so clever about Mad Magazine?
Whats so clever about Troops?
Whats so clever about Segfault?
Whats so clever about any kind of paridy?

YAY!
are we slow on news this week, I think this has atleast been up two years? Thats ok though, Sometimes there isnt anything to post :)
I rember the last mention of 2600 had a comment about how 2600 was really just a C.I.A. front to arrest hackers.
Let me hear that one again please, give the same two page explination.
Consider their own site? Had problems connecting? I think we can chalk that up to the /. effect. I've never had problems with 2600's page loading.
And they aren't "cracking other people's pages without an invitation." Read the page. Those are spoofs that people made of high profile web pages and were not actual hacks/cracks (whatever).
Further more you have no evidence that ANY such hacks shown on the page were initiated by the people at 2600. A hack happens, they document it.

i was just laughing at the ms hacked site on 2600.com, hitting the back button, 2600 is hacked with FREE KEVIN MITNICK.
smart move guys!
It's called parody. Many of us find well-done parodies amusing.
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
A month? I saw this over six months ago, it's probably at least a year or two old.
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
Well, reading CNN's little side-by-side interview with Emmanuel Goldstein and some IBM suit, Emmanuel impressed me much more. He seems to know what a hacker is, and what the hacker ethic is, while the IBM guy thinks that "hacker" is synonymous with "cyberterrorist."
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
Uhh, the Free Kevin logo has been the intro page to 2600 for the last 8+ months. They put it there themselves on purpose.
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
Yes, it's true, our website is somewhat unavailable right now. We're working to get things flowing again as fast as we can.

They have been there much longer than a month, these 'spoofed' pages have been there for I'd say at least a year.
Posted by keithk:
Actually, it doesn't appear to be completely
slashdotted just yet, it was just excrutiatingly
unbearably slow. Of course, I didn't wait to
SEE any of the pages, so the theory is there...
uhh, genius, 2600 is perhaps the strongest supporter of Mitnick's cause.
more brilliance from anonyimity.
As long as you have your oxford or websters dictionary open, why don't you look up words like gopher, proxy, masquerade (as in IP masquerading). Guess what, you won't find the meanings that cs "nerds" use in those books. But check out the jargon file for definitions that are a little closer to what the community here goes on. <tim><
PS. I'm SO disappointed I have to use MSIE and windoze at the moment... I would love to use Netscape.
What if one of them tries to "make justice?"
Now that would be hysterical.
Everyone laughs at the so called SLASHDOT effect.
Wonder who'd be laughing then.

The point being, words have multiple meanings in the english language. When sifting through a dictionary, you will find what /.'ers popularly call "cracker" is also found to be called "Hacker, 'dark side hacker', samurai" and several other words.
As far as I'm concerned, the hacker portrayal of being "non-evil" began when some people were using knowledge towards destructive means. Thus began the good hacker/bad hacker bullshit "We're not BAD hackers we just like exploring the system." As far as the media is concerned, or a large segment of the population, "exploring the system" amounts to breaking into someone else's house, checking out pictures, and walking out again. Its still illegal.
Then of course you have folks that would call those people "crackers" as well. Back in the day, a cracker was something people applied to anyone who cracked copy-protection on software. As far as I'm concerned, a cracker is a type of biscuit.
