So, i am a moderator so i am able to keep track of all the IP addresses that Windows XP User54645646whocares?4664564 has posted his so called posts from.
This means that i have a responsibility not to tell anybody what those IP addresses are.
Most of you however are not moderators and you do not have access to any priveleged information about XP User at all, including his name, location et cetera, just the fact that he posts horseshit here all the time.
Well...
In the same way that you sometimes see adverts where people invite you to break into their box to prove how secure it is, I would like to issue the challenge to anybody who is NOT in any way a moderator of these forums to see if they can break into XP Users computer, and how much they can access/change.
I will not be participating myself, as i have no networking knowledge to speak of, and anyway, I'm a mod so i'm out of the running.
If Windows XP is the operating system crafted by the gods themselves, as User would have us believe, then i think this study may show it up a bit more. If however XP is a cobbled together heap of shit which has had more effort go into the copy protection than the actual system, then that may show up too.....
Of course, nobody might take up the challenge, but that would be a bit of a shame, where's your feeling of sportsmanship? go on, have a go!
to XP User46884646fuckthatsalongnumber!6386178, obviously you are exempt since you have physical access to your own machine, however you can still participate, by attempting to break into any of the linux computers that many of our posters use.
Good luck to all! :D

My IP address changes every time I log on. Wouldn't that pose a problem?
PS my firewall wasn't turned on the other day because I have to turn the XP firewall off to send files in MSN messenger.
-
thanks for the info! both of those things should be a help to anyone who wants to take up the challenge!
Glad to see you're entering into the spirit, XP User, but don't make it too easy now!
-
But, go ahead, I don't care; try to break into my computer. It's running Windows XP home edition /w only the mere XP firewall running and all the latest security updates. Just, if you do break in don't delete anything, just put a text file on my desktop that says "you've been had, xp loser Linux rules" or something.
-
Nope it wont pose a problem too me and if anyone needs his number just ask... i will trace him and kill him
-
no that's not fair, x11, you're a mod, sorry, but people aren't allowed to ask you, and you can't have a go i'm afraid!
XP Loser, i think that if somebody gains access, then they can do what they like, that's what access is all about, although i don't think a lot of people will go for this challenge so you're probably safe.
-
Why not... He most likly isnt using XPEEE anyway.

I will d0s you biatch!!!!!!!

Since this site allows "img src=" tags, all you have to do is put an image in a message in this thread that resides on a server that you have access to the server logs on. Then watch the forums closely and when XP Luser posts grab his IP address from your server logs. Then quickly have at him...
-
umm, would some one get me xpiss's ip. there is about 10 different things i want to try, then i want to give it to some of my friends and tell them its a winxp wargame server. heheheheh :eek:
-
you must use voidmains method, or another of yr own devising, the rules of this game are that you cannot get info from a moderator. (other users is okay though...)
-
i'll break into his computer using a cute little tool known as THE HAMMER 2002
once i am in there i will engage the VICE GRIP VIRUS
wow, that nifty xp firewall with all those incredible security updates sure worked wonders on that one
really though i think the best thing to do would be set up a routine with another xp dialup machine and once you have him, get him
there is one thing, though... i haven't seen any "BLACK ULTRA GAY" bs outta him... can't we just celebrate the worldwide "bash the lamers holiday" --i think hallmark has cards for it
oh, and cover your asses, there is no way in hell i would even know how to begin on xp
-
Calum, isn't building up a militia to hack a guy's computer like super illegal? didn't they just rule that black hat hackers can get up to 20 years in jail? ironic how a smart person who hack gets 4x as much time in jail as a guy who stabs somebody......
-
counters work good to get people IP addresses. So are you saying that the other day when i posted to tell you about both of your netbios ports being open you firewall was off?
-
They have to catch us first
-
chooco, i have not done anything illegal. As i state at the top there, i have access to the IPs that XP User has posted from, but i am not telling you them. I have not broken any confidence by providing any info that you did not already know, and the rules of my contest specifically state that nobody else with priveleged info is eligible.
All the info and motivation for this challenge was already there before i put it into words, and as such i can not be held responsible since i have no part in any exploits which may result.
-
You apes don't scare me. You couldn't hack a Windows 95 box running a cable modem.
-
but Calum yer the guy starting the thing, you should be careful about legal stuff. remember that Manson didn't actually kill anybody, he got other people to and he got life in jail....sort of like why everybody wants Osama's head on a post, he's organizin stuff.
-
i haven't done a thing.
I haven't organised anybody.
If people do something, they did it themselves, i have not given them any information, and i will not be attempting to hack XP Losers box, since i have no networking skills at all.
However all i was really saying in my original post is that if anybody does do this, i would be interested in hearing about it. That's why this topic exists, for the results.
Also, if this were tried, it would illuminate how secure P actually is in a realtime test. If somebody tries and fails i would be equally interested to hear about that too.
So far though, it seems nobody has risen to the challenge.

Just read xp users profile and saw he was 11 years old. im sorry, but at first I couldnt understand his childish ramblings, immature attitude, and lack of any true computer knowledge. Now I understand. Here are some things you should know about the real world.
Operating systems are expensive. College Students such as myself cant just have mommy buy us a new computer whenever we want. Ive been using my old 433mhz Celeron since 1998. Simply put the usefulness of the old OS it had (win98) was little. It wasnt up to the standards for XP, not to mention the fact that it was expensive. Im a Computer Science student, so learning a new OS, would prove extremely useful, especially since a lot of businesses use unix based systems. I bought an xp computer recently and found it wasnt up to my standards of what I had come to expect from an OS after years of linux use.
-
I'm no dell-buying aol using typical grade A moron! I actually built my computer from scratch from parts I got on the internet. Very cheap and powerful. One of the reasons I'll not be getting a Mac anytime soon.
PS I'm actually 12 now
-
Blah blah blah...
Damnit, SOMEONE SHUT UP AND BREAK INTO HIS BOX. I want to see a Linux user PROVE TO ME that they broke into a Windows XP box. So far, no one has.

actually because of XP users other post where he said:

this means we have an actual written contract (or verbal since its a message board... I dunno) but he did invite us to break into his computer, therefore its not illegal.
-
excellent job there Bob ;)
nobody managed to hax my L00nix box yet, why? i said XP user should break into mine
-
We always hear of how insecure Windows is and all, but, who has actually been hacked (AND NOT BY A TROJAN OR VIRUS)?
-
the military, big companies, small companies, me
a girl from TechIMO.com (won't mention any names) actually got INTO my computer and started scanning all my files and stuff. she sent me an email notifiying that i have nimba in either the "my shared files" or "my documents" folder.....i checked and there were 3 files in My Documents which were names like britney spears - hit me baby one more time .mp3.(suspicious suffix i forgot)
i deleted them then thanked her....how she managed to get into my computer is what i have no idea.
-
well, i agree with Ctrl. So far, all mouth, no trousers, let's see windows' insecurity in action! ;)
-
considering that we have to come up with a scheme to grab his ip in the first place. i don't think we will see his system get sent to whistle land. now since he *did* consent to people playing wargames on his box maybe you could bless us and share the info with us. i would try to send his comp 665 ways to hell but without an ip i can't try anything. and with my network setup, even if i did setup a server to use the img= to grab the little bastards ip, it would come up as 192.168.0.1, no matter who did it.
-
i will not be posting his IP address here. If however member number 993 gives me his consent on these forums, i will gladly send a private message with his IP. I'm not about to do that until he specifically consents though, and i suspect he won't.
The [img] thing should be viable, just put an image in yr sig (a 1x1 pixel one even) and when he posts, you'll know he's online, and will be at that IP until he goes offline again. There must be a workaround for your situation...
still, as i say, if XP user consents to me handing out IPs, i may do so on the PMs, and it's possible he may be cocky enough to consent, since you, me and him are unlikely to be online all at one time, and the IP would need to change hands mucho fast to get to you before he went offline i suspect...
Also, he may not believe you can do anything nasty even if you do have his IP, and may give consent just to prove it.
It all depends on whether XP User wants to prove that windows XP is secure even when the intruder knows the IP address (and this should be the case, a random hack would use a random IP address, if the IP happened to be yours, you would need to be secure to fend it off...
