Mega *anti-hacking* anti-intrusion* thread-share tips and tricks to stay protected

[aliyawar]

I think you haven't read my posts yet,....ok they were quite boring....so let's cut it short... i never said that I am a super hacker...or I was a hacking wizard...i just know a few things about it...and if knew everything why would i post on a forum asking for everyone's advice... and I can assure you I was never a member of any clandestine hacking group....not that I did not try...but i never really got into one...the punks i am talking about are just some guys like me hanging around the net with lot's of time to waste and unlike me,some really...really good programming skills.....the type of people who makes cracks keygens and stuff..but the problem is..they also make viruses,keyloggers and lots of other types of malwares... you will be surprised to know that on hackBB their are people who give away the sites they hack and all the usernames,passwords..etc..for free!..they are the real goons... i am just trying to make a platform where all of us can share our experiences,tricks and tips...etc..

And anonymous...for the last time..is not primarily a hacking group...they mostly do DDOS.....i don't think ddosing need any skill other than lots of boxes and other resources to waste..even you can do that...

Regards...

Have you considered a computer or software forum instead of a photography forum? Our idea of "hacking" is a bad photoshop job.

Thanks... ..The only other forum I am active on is a guitarforum..so that'll not help either...and on all the computer and software forums out there.. you will get nothing more then snobbish comments...here we are all noobs helping out each other...the environment is much more convivial here nad i like it here...

No "external" memory, just the sticks of ram in the computer, a whole whopping gig of it. It's not like there's much to take up in memory over the OS using some of it, enlightenment using some of it and firefox using some of it (its actually the real hog by the way). Like I said, if the memory gets used up to the point it starts becoming sluggish, a two-minute reboot (I go have a ciggie while it does it) and I'm back on fresh as new.

The benefit of using SQL injections outside of database testing is beyond me. I see no reason other than to be malicious to even begin to think of doing something like that. Also like I mentioned, some initial permission setting and custom escape parameters when creating the database make hacking that much more difficult that what you already mentioned it is like.

Drex...thanks for the infos you have shared but let me assure you...i have seen people take down CBI website...in which neither me nor my friend could find any vulnerabilities....and when they are checking for vulnerabilities in your database,they are doing it for nothing else than malicious intents...... yes...being careful in the initial stages will save you from most of it... that's what i have already said.. common sense is lot more worthwhile than 2000bucks of security softwares when it comes to cyber security...

Regards...

You'll find snobs everywhere. I've been a member of antionline (going by the name tripstone) since 2001 just after JP (follow that link, its an article written by that putz KuRuPTioN who couldn't get his way over at antionline) started it at Carnegie-Mellon. I'm not sure who's all there still. Haven't been on for a year or so but MsMittens, Negative, stflook, ennis, nihil and gore were all my friends there and were very helpful and polite just like the people here. If you have not gone there, perhaps you should consider it. I also liked lurking at "TheStrangeWorldofTapu" which is nearly defunct. I was also friends with Nitallica of PhrozenCrew back in the day, Elm0 (who helped work on oscar2k), Kimble (of recent megaupload fame) and _probation_ (Mitnick's "secret" alias after release from prison in 2000, I figure the no-internet clause of his parole has been lifted for eight years, so no harm will come from putting out his name now). Like I mentioned, I wonder where I'd be if I would have kept going on but it was boring to code and all I could think of at the time were malicious things to do with the code (I was young and dumb). At least I grew out of it.

So, basically what you are saying, is that you started a thread for "newbies" to share ideas on avoiding getting hacked.... But that Aparantly everyone but you is either misinformed or doesnt know as much as you. Strong work son.
Surely with that much computer knowledge you must be making six figures a year as a programmer.

I never said that *everyone* except me is misinformed and don't know anything....and fyi...i can assure you that good programming skills and good black-hat hacking skills are two different things....not that i am a very good programmer....I have barely completed my education...i have always maintained that I have seen people do wonderful things and I have learnt a few things from them... and i was just being nice when I said that"we all are noobs helping out each other"... like maybe drex here has more info on cyber security than you or even me also....he can't be called a noob... i am just trying to help and being helped here...look at this kid man...http://www.whatsthelatest.net/news/jonathan-james-15-yearold-cybercriminal-hacked-nasa/ do you really think he is a better programmer than all of those nasa guys...

Thanks.... I have also grown out of it...and if you really want to meet snobs...try hackforums...you will meet people having no idea about programming throwing cuss words at you...just because you don;t know a few tips of the trade...

Go try and revive antionline then. They seem to be pretty lonely there. Apparently no one uses it much anymore but I see some familiar faces yet so not all is lost.

I will surely try it.... I see the people here are quite pissed at me....

I wouldn't worry about that. This was an off-topic discussion that was posted in the appropriate place. I, for one, do not want to intrude upon other peoples' interests outside of photography. While this is a photography forum, I see people starting threads about music from different decades and genres which have no more connection with photography that do computers. I think it's comical that some people, who obviously don't take such an interest in computing, take the time to attempt to troll you.

Like I said, try out antionline if you've never been. It was THE spot to be for people like you and me, amateur geeks looking for a place where professionals of all calibers called home back in the early 2000's and were willing to help us out in growing. It was like this place a lot. You had to learn to grow a thick-skin but once you did, there was a wealth of information to be had about EVERY facet of computing. Don't worry too much about what other people think and don't give them your energy by giving into anger or negativity towards them. It doesn't do anyone any good.

I'm sure he is neither pix, just an enthusiast. Someone who has gotten his feet wet several times, dinked around in places he shouldn't have, learned more than the average user through piqued interest and inquisitiveness. What I am pretty sure is happening in this thread is a person who has no outlet for his computer interest elsewhere and has found comfort here (and rightly so, there are a lot of very good people here, I wouldn't have spent nearly five years here if not for the people here, next month is my half-decade anniversary). He seems zealous about his adventures and knowledge (whatever level that may be is moot) because what else happens when you cannot offload some of that excitement? It's like blue-balls for computer geeks. If we cannot talk shop with someone, we'll start to ache really bad and get defensive, angry, deluded, all the other symptoms of repressed excitement.

I'm no hacker. I'm a proud 'puter geek who is willing to help others in anyway I can and willing to learn from others.

I'm pretty sure I opened his eyes a little. He should have learned from his other story about getting busted for creating an admin account at that university and then subsequently bragging about it at forums. Real hackers are like the guys you trust the most to sell weed to. They won't drop the dime on anyone for any reason. They'll take the time and fall if necessary and yet will not cave in. Its the squeaky mice that stop the wheel. Keep the mouth shut. The ones that have a need to show their muscles, push people around, stand on a platform with a loud voice (Look what I did, can do, will do) have some issues with importance. I'm pretty sure that is why this world is so screwed up. People so hungry for attention and not realizing that attention fully elsewhere, they'll stop at nothing to be the next trending topic on the interwebz.

Thanks...drex...i will surely do that... After almost a day of being taunted with a "l33t haxxor" tag and being flamed at(even after I have said again and again that I am not a hacking wizard or something..just a normal guy who knows a few things about it and is open to new things)....just because I was trying to be humorous in the first place...i realise this is not just the right palce...but anyway I will keep trying...who knows maybe we can really share some good info on this thread...i am starting to lose hope......

Ha..HA..ha.. very funny:lmao: how many times do I have to declare that I am not a " l33t haxxor" or anything...just a guy knowing some tricks, ready to share it with the others...and open to learning fromother people's advices...
