A tale about Lamers and Lucky(s) ! Some time ago.. It was a nice day and i logged onto the undernet, because I want to talk to some Kefrens members. Suddenly Duke[SMF] messages me and ask if i am LUCKY. Lucky i thought, sure in a way, but thats not my nick ;) So i told him. But his answer confuses me a lot. He told me something about my NBC.IRC-WORM. What has this to do with Lucky i wondered. My reply was that AVP sucks and I am confused about the name. He told me the virus contains the string: "LUCKY B.R.D" . But I never included such a string into the code. I surfed quickly to the AVP site and looked for the description of the so called IRC-Worm.Lucky Hmm... GODDAMN ! Why does this description fit in all points to my NBC.IRC-WORM ? Why does it spread exactly in the same way ? Why does it also drops Netbus ? Why does it have the same payload ? I saw the String Duke talked about 'LUCKY B.R.D 1994-99 [LK-7]' AVP tells me that this is the copyright text of the author. He, AVP you're wrong this is the plagiarism text of a thief !!! I got a bit more angry, when I saw, that AVP also overlooked the fact, that my worm is also able to infect VIRC, but thats another story, ask Jack Querty for his WIN32.JACKY.1440 and Win32 infection when you want to hear such a story.. :) In addition to this this guy also seems to be a german (B.R.D is an abbrevation for Germany). Why do lamers, and only lamers do such things, do this ? First of all, they are not able to code something on their own and are too stupid to learn it. Due to the fact, that they are not able to code something on their own, they don't know and also can't imagine the hours of work the original author has spend in writing something. They just want to use their notepad and create something by changing some letters. Heh use a virii creation kit if you want to work this way ! But let the message that you did something with a VCK inside of the code. Everything else is lame. In addition to this this guys do not do what they do to learn something or to test their skills on something (sure you learn nothing by editing a text file and this requires not much of skills), these peoples do this because they want to be honoured and can show off with something like this in front of their friends. They simply do not thing about the consequences of their actions. Consequences you may ask. Sure I will never found this guy, who stole my work and can never kick his little ass,.. But i will think about releasing a source code again. And if people do not release source codes of their projects, you can't learn from them and their coding abilities ! Same belongs to tutorials, I have seen a lot of tutorials, which where completely the same, except for the authors name below.. :( He you Lamers out there if you copy work, you steal others the posibility to learn. Knownledge is much more important than the little piece of honour or whatever you gain ! All hacks and copys are lame, if you don't leave a message or a thank to the original author and even ask him before you do something like this. Thats nearly all I wanted to say concerning this topic. You may ask why I am so angry about this, because it is only an IRC-Worm.. Sure it is only an IRC-Worm, but it is the first description AVP gave me and it is dedicated to another persons name ! That is what made me angry. So if you ever met a person called LUCKY which claims that it is a virii writer, tell me where to find him and then kick his ass out of the net ! *g* thanx for listening.. SnakeByte@Kefrens.de
