I look forward to them trying to DDOS that address

[–] [email protected] 125 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Oh shit, he's good. He DDOS'd me right back.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What kind of resources does this guy have? I don't think governments can even do proportional and instantaneous DDOS responses. I messed with the wrong dude.

Did you try to hack a Gibson from your home?

[–] [email protected] 105 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Okay back in the days of IRC, I met this script kiddie who said he’d hack me, just give him my IP address. So I sent him his IP address and he disappeared suddenly.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What good is a script kiddie if they cannot find an IP?

There was that one bash.org quote where a script kiddie was given 127.0.0.1 as part of an "oh yeah I dare you" taunt after he said he could hack anyone, and he fell for it hook line and sinker. He was posting things like "Hahaha your K drive is being deleted! Now your H drive! [connection reset by peer]" and right after that the challenger was like "I don't even have a K drive."

(RIP bash.org though. I would have tried to link it otherwise)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Bash.org is gone!?! No!!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. RIP bash.org, where introverted people could read chat logs of other like-minded introverts. And I don't even /s this, I genuinely miss this stuff...

Average hosts file (> 100k loc) in Windows. Or did they fix this?

[–] [email protected] 142 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My IP is in this photo and I don't like it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Security tip: Never post your home address on social media.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 3 months ago

It could loopback to you...

[–] [email protected] 69 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That IP address is coming from inside the house!

I called the SWAT on them.😈

Update: The SWAT came to my home!😅

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 months ago

Nah, the SWAT would have to arrest themselves.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago

Hey! That's my IP address whenever the script kiddies are boasting in chat. How did he get it?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Reminds me of the meme of someone making a website with AI and then said to a bro his programming days were over.

And then proceeds to send the localhost address to the guy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

It wasn't even a localhost address, it was a file:// URL if I remember correctly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Yeah, every time I hear something like that I giggle. AI might replace us one day, but it's no where near good enough yet.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I find it pretty funny these days how often I see people getting paranoid about their IP address when back in the 90's/early 2000's it was common to show other people their own IP in chat rooms or on forums to scare them and it didn't work because most people understood it didn't matter.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It still seems pretty stupid to most of us. It's still common knowledge that knowing someone's IP is meaningless, it's mostly kids and the technologically inept who don't understand this in my experience.

Uh oh I have that same IP address

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh crap he leaked your IP address then!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Better call my ISP and ask for a reassignment

[–] fin 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait, I remember that address… it’s the Tor SOCKS5 proxy address! He’s the darkweb guy!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's probably a VNC/local server listener.

tor listens for socks on 9050 by default. tor uses 5400 as the default DNS port.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

But technically he's right

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

He's inside my house!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

tip: add this to your html for it to automatically follow browser settings for dark mode: <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
another tip: in firefox, go to about:preferences > general > fonts > advanced > proportional > sans serif

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The color-scheme meta tag is only fully supported on Safari.
