The official lame people & mail FAQ

This is dedicated to all the LAME people who keep
mailing me... I'm sure you know who you are :P



Frequently asked questions...

1. Can you tell me how to compile and run TFN and give
   me a list of compromised hosts with TFN installed?

No. DoS tools are supposed to be proof-of-concept tools,
that means they are there for reading the source and
understanding them. Why do you want to run them without
understanding them? Unless you're a forensics expert or
a penetration tester, you have no damn business trying to
run them. So go away and grab a book on C and networking
and read it. And if you ask me for "test" hosts with tfn
installed, I might forward your mail to nipc@fbi.gov,
depending on if I have a bad day! :P

2. Can you add a link to my site at haxorsex.tripod.com?

No. The links that I maintain are my "bookmarks", that
means I SELECT THEM. It's not a free-for-all list or
something, it's personal recommendations that I somehow
find around the net and post them cause they're valuable.
If you want a link, work on making your site popular enough
so I find it somewhere else on the net, and consider it
interesting and relevant enough to link to it.

3. Teach me how to hack/code/whatever.

I have no problem with that. But I have a problem with
repeating myself. What I mean is, I've released a lot of
text and howto-files on my sites under /papers.html.
Go and read those, including the C-Tutorial, and the
cracker-howto (if you must) - they include pretty much
everything that I have to tell you. But if you want
private, interactive lessons, pay me or go away. :P

4. Du0d d0nt y0u h4v3 4n 4ncrypt3d 3ggdr0p p4ck4g3???

No, and actually, please DON'T SEND ME YOURS! Encrypted
eggdrop and "war botnets" and all that suck, and are for
the worst of the kiddies (those that aren't even able to
deface webpages and therefore hang on IRC all day... or
something...). Please note:
 a) If you send me a 2MB eggdrop package through email,
    you will piss me off. Please use some netiquette.
 b) Encrypting eggdrop scripts provides *NO* security
    whatsoever. I won't discuss about it but as a security
    worker and as a guy using eggdrop more than 6 years I
    can assure you it doesn't.
 c) My script (entity) no longer has "war" functions for a
    purpose: because they're pointless. It's still the best
    protective script for eggdrop bots you can get, IMO.

5. H3lp m3 h4ck d1z b4nk/w3bs1t3/ISP br0th4 y0!

You need to get a life. Also, what makes you think that I
break into sites? The fact that I occassionally write and
publish tools? I normally do not condone nor commit *any*
unauthorized break-ins for whatever political/financial/
scriptkiddyal purposes. I publish my stuff in the name of
unpopular, uncomfortable, but necessary full disclosure.
It seems that you're one of the guys causing the problems,
who make publishing of those tools harder and harder to
nonmalicious people, so buzz off.
If you want a contractive break-in to your own site, that's
something different, however. You can request that, if you
can authenticate yourself, prove site ownership, and if
we can get in touch with you over phone. So, if you want me
to do any legal pen-testing, contact info@2xss.com.

6. How do I set up my printer under Windows 95?

Some people misunderstand something. You must think I'm
"doctor hardware", and I don't see a reason why I should
answer non-security related mails from strangers at all.
If you need newbie-tech-support for your OS, contact your
hotline. However, if it's very important for you, I will do
tech support for you. Please send at least $120 via Paypal
to mixter@newyorkoffice. When I receive the money, I will
gladly answer all your problems.
