[j0ck3]

Having fun with poor newbie who thinks hes being hacked...

Round I:

[19:29] <ErrorFroz> i think i am getting hacked. my modem lights are flashing...
[19:30] <SirGoblin> ErrorFroz: see all the cables behind your computer, rip them all out and you'll be fine
[19:31] <ErrorFroz> but wont that make my computer shut down?
[19:31] <SirGoblin> nope
[19:31] <ErrorFroz> what are they for?
[19:31] <SirGoblin> the modem
[19:31] <Pissedoff> omg ... heh ...
[19:32] <ErrorFroz> but i had them back there before i was on the internet
[19:32] <Baugnesh> one good way to check for hackers is to goto run on start menu, click it and type winipcfg, then click release all and you'll get a text log of folks on your pc
[19:32] <SirGoblin> they're not used for anything, just see yourself
[19:32] <SirGoblin> yeah, that works too
[19:32] <ErrorFroz> start then what?
[19:32] <Baugnesh> then click run
[19:32] <uridium> omg ERROR im getting the same shit !
[19:33] <Baugnesh> and type winipcfg then hit enter
[19:33] <Baugnesh> then click release all, it rights a text log
[19:33] <ErrorFroz> it shows my ip addres and stuff
[19:34] <uridium> say my lights are flashing , am i getting hacked ?
[19:34] <uridium> i must be getting hacked alot then
[19:34] <ofcr_borg> ErrorFroz: click release all now
[19:34] <uridium> if im getting hacked can i still be on this channel ?
[19:34] <ErrorFroz> release all?
[19:35] <Baugnesh> to right a log file, didnt you read what i said, it shows whos on your internet connection and using your ip
[19:35] <SirGoblin> ErrorFroz: yeah

[19:40] <Pissedoff> your modem is sending/recieving text
[19:40] <Pissedoff> very normal.
[19:40] <ErrorFroz> ok thanks becuase usually flashing lights means something bad

[Mattress]

wow, that was pretty mean, it's one thing to get a clueless person to restart their computer or disconnect all of their cables but tricking them into deleting their harddrive is going too far.

[dlinkwit27]

that is horrible! :mad:

[j0ck3]

I think so too, but man that would have been so fun to be there to see it. His face after the last restart...

[henry3k56]

Saw the log file before summer started. I say that is funny, first of all get a firewall to stop them and find an irc group that you can trust. ;)

[GarbagePoe]

That's pretty mean, but I have to admit that it was pretty funny.

[j0ck3]

I think the nickname ErrorFroz sounds like he is younger. Not that old thou because he wouldn't be that stupid in that case. Maybe he is like 12 logged in on his fathers computer to chat for a couple of minutes... I bet his father isn't that happy about it. :D

[Mrs_Mia_Wallace]

I've seen this before and I think it's fake - why would someone know how to go online and into a chat but has never seen his modem flashing? :weird: I think it would be funy making him log off once but the deleting of the harddrive is too much. :mad:

Mia:)

[j0ck3]

Nice new avatar Mia, but I liked the old one better ... :rolleyes:

[cyu]

even if it is real, I wouldn't really feel bad. Errorfroz was either a lil kids or a complete idiot, i mean seriously any1 who uses the pc should know what ctrl+alt+del does. Some noobs just deserve whats coming to them.

I second that. Such cr%& is neither funny nor funny! People doing and supporting that should be ashamed of themselves. Whether you would have found it that funny if someone would have done the same to you in your "early" time?

Idi%&$

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[GoldenSphynx]

If I ever got tricked into doing that, I'd cry. Not really, but I'd be pissed. :) I actually saw that a while ago, still funny.

[DragonSon]

That's just going WAY to far, no one deserves that....well, maybe a couple of people.....

[Avalon]

Yeah that's seriously fawked man, no offense, but that's some wrong.

[ryan]

It looks fake to me.

[UnConeD]

What kind of self-centered moron are you? If the person was a kid, then there is an especially large chance that this was a sibling or parent's computer and that important stuff was deleted.

Some people do have more than just porn, chat and games on their pc.

ummm...what are you talking about? What do you mean important stuff was deleted? Can you please rephrase?

[dlinkwit27]

[cyu]

wait where did all this come from? I thought we were talking about a person who thinks he is being hacked cause his modem is flashing.

[eleet-2k2]

Ya that's old but still funny as hell. :)

[anubis2003]

That was funny although it was pretty mean to the guy. What a computer-moron.

you didn't read the whole thing, did you? they got him to delete his entire hard drive.

I think its sad that people do this to one another.

[cyu]

mnnnn...but he kept coming back and he kept getting screwing in the rear. And all the clues that coulda told him that something was wrong like [19:39] <Pissedoff> enough fucking with the poor guy ... and others laughing for no apparent reason.

[Coman]

that's why some think that its a fake.

[whiteflip]

I laughed so hard I woke people up. And no I wouldn't feel bad. Its a learning experience. You learn that you cant trust people online. Simple and funny :)

[Vie]

Yes, but I would never do that... ..ok maby tell them to Ctrl + Alt + Del if they were pissing me off...

[dlinkwit27]

Even I haev doen ctrl+alt+delete and alt+f4 to annyoing peopel on online games, but like I said, deleeting the HD? Thats so horrible wrong!

[mark]

the worst i do is make them:
/part
/join 0,0 <--- works on most people
ctrl alt del
alt f4
etc.

/con/con used to be a good one too, but I think mIRC fixed that.

[mark]

just tell them to go to 0,0

[EfaustuS9]

That must have been staged, I find it hard to believe that any one is that nieve and/or dense, particularly when considering all the warning promps windows and dos will give you. Funny though >:-D .

[mark]

the /y tells it not to warn you. but they would see "deleting... c:\[files flashing by]"

[henry3k56]

Make that, I have the txt log file dated back from December 22, 2002. But its older than that. ;)

My archiving of useless stuff is good. :)
