You've mentioned this before briefly in the chatbox, I think.
It is a weird story. The thing that throws me off is that it is almost too cliche to be made up by you, y'know. I feel like if you were lying you'd come up with a better story. I can understand if you want to protect your PI but some more information would be cool.
It's very real.
Like I said, it torments me because walking away from the fundamentalist religion was a big part of claiming my life back. I just can't help but wonder.
There's not much more to the story than that. The house is for sale now and I think about calling it and just asking if they think it's haunted. -

Yeah, especially if it needs just one stupid packet, one stupid "weather notification service" or whatever the fuck and boom, it's recorded somewhere so someone can tied it back to you like 12 months later. I think it's still fairly costly to do this, but moore's law etc.
I was messing around with nmap recently I found out that my ISP-provided modem-router has open ports 80 and 21 on the outside interface, and only port 80 on the inside one. What the flying fuck? I remember scanning the inside interface and found it satisfactory, then by chance I scanned the other one and fuck, great, how do I change this - oh, I can't, cause proprietary router software, what the fuck? Gonna figure this one out this weekend. Oh, the cherry on top is that I have ipv6 on my local network, but my ISP doesn't do ipv6. I mean, what the shit?
I never use ISP provided Routers. Honestly it's usually cheaper to just buy your own.
Also, that sounds really awful. Let's just face it that we in the US have no privacy anymore.

2016-02-05 at 6:28 PM UTC in Legends From SpaceThere's a huge world out there, and we all have had unique experiences from living in it. Some of them are comical, some are sad, some are disgusting - but they're all worth sharing. This thread is dedicated to recording the tales from space. Long, detailed stories are encouraged. They can be about anything from computer hacking to your first kiss - so long as they're true (SWIM is welcome)
I'll start with a weird one.
Back in 2006, I was an active member of a fundamentalist church group. While at a youth center they had built in the downtown district of an impoverished farm community, I met another young guy named Sean. Sean was really bright, had a great sense of humor and was a talented guitarist, so we got along very quickly. We hung out around once a week and, on a cold December night, we were at the youth center when a girl there brought up the typical fundamentalist Christian talking point that all secular music has ties to the occult. Now, Sean and I both were big fans of the band Black Sabbath, and we didn't really take these claims seriously because they're typically predicated on poor arguments. At any rate, Sean mentioned that he actually had an experience with the occult and said it left him with no interest in ever pursuing it.
I asked for more details.
He went on to explain that the little rural farm town we all grew up in actually had a longstanding history Traditional Satanism and devil worship. I didn't know anything about this because I lived in the next community over (which was about a half hour away with nothing but forest and farms betwixt them). His demeanor became quite serious as he explained to me that, before he became a Christian, he hung out with group of other low-life teenagers. You know the kind - no real parental supervision, no direction, wasted potential, impending teen pregnancy, etcetera. One of the particularly odd members of the group wound up getting involved in the occult for some reason or another. One summer day, he showed Sean and his friends that he had erected a shrine to Satan in his attic - complete with a large, old, Victorian-style vanity mirror in the center.
So the story goes, strange things started happening around town after this. Namely, people around the community reported seeing these strange apparitions that they had no explanation for. The legend was that these apparitions had the appearance of being somewhere around seven foot tall and had the basic shape of a bipedal primate (like a man - walking upright with two legs, two arms and a head). They were described to me as very dark. They had no features beyond that of looking like a shadow, yet nothing was casting it. They always mentioned a deep-seated pair of colorful "eyes" that were bright but wouldn't glow. The tale goes that they were most usually colored red, sometimes greens, and very seldom blue. One of the friends was riding a bicycle through a park when the rest of the group supposedly saw one of these things chasing after him faster than any animal in the area could possibly move. He claimed that the group had seen these apparitions several times, usually while the friends were in groups. This supposedly continued up until the point where the odd fellow that wound up heavily absorbed in the Satanic Arts (who had isolated himself and stopped seeing his friends) was discovered by the police hanging from the apex of his attic (in front of his shrine). Police ruled the death a suicide, but did so reluctantly as they had no explanation as to how he managed to get to the top of the high ceiling with no latter.
Although I was a fundamentalist Christian at the time, I wasn't stupid. I was extremely skeptical of any kind of story like this. After all, legends have a tendency of being repeated and exaggerated, especially among young or uneducated hill-folk like we were. So I earnestly told Sean that I didn't believe his story and wouldn't unless I saw some proof. He said that he could show me the house.
The vapors of my breathe were visible against the cold night air as we approached my sky-blue Oldsmobile. It was a short ride passing through abandoned houses and dilapidated businesses that pockmark depressed farming towns. I parked on the curb in the small neighborhood, and we through moon-kissed snow as walked towards the house. We stood a few feet away from its eastern side, which had an abnormally large window. It was dark, so Sean and I sat talking about the account of these black things. The conversation droned on for about five minutes, until we reached the part that I will never, ever forget.
I pulled the collar of my trench coat closer to the biting cold on my neck. "So who lives here now?"
He responded calmly without taking his eyes off of the building. "It's been abandoned since the suicide."
No sooner did he say this that a pair of small red lights lit up in the window.
The night was too dark to see into the window, but the two red lights came on right next to each other like eyes. They were very close together and shined no light into the rest of the house. It was almost as if the light was within the glass of the window itself.
Then there were two more.
And two more.
Within less than a minute, the entire windows was covered in pairs of glowing red lights. Many were blinking.
"I don't believe this..." I said aloud in a lost kind of way.
"Believe it." Sean said patiently.
Suddenly, a bright light inside the house (from the attic) came on so that the staircase ascending towards it was visible. Little, green glowing orbs that looked lightning bugs appeared as if they were flying from the attic into the sky.
I don't know if you've ever been in a situation where you honestly and literally cannot believe your eyes, but it's a surreal place to be. I slowly took a step forward to get a closer look, at which point Sean grabbed my shoulder tightly with a firm "No."
Then, all at once, it stopped.
That story was ten years ago, but I still think about a lot. I've returned to that house about four times now. Sometimes with the company of Sean, other friends, and even alone. I've since moved away but have done a lot of careful reading about the house. The satanic history of the town checked out. The town was a hub of occult activity, and even had a doomsday sex abuse cult operating within a couple of miles from the house. It's been something of a plague on my mind since I've seen it. I've tried to rationalize it away, but it's just no use. I saw something I cannot explain that night. I lie awake sometimes wondering if all that supernatural stuff is real and if I was lucky enough to be one of the few people on this planet to see a part of it. It make me think a lot about hell, heaven, God, the devil, and it teases the boundaries of what's real and what isn't. It really changed my life forever.
I don't expect you to believe this story. In fact, as I honestly reported, didn't believe it until I saw it for myself. -

Appeal to authority, ad hominem: poisoning the well.
Try again.
Sorry but this isn't a debate. Sploo has demonstrated consistently that he's part of the club of self-proclaimed geniuses running around this site who talk incessantly about their leviathan intellect but have nothing to show for it at all.
I know he just posts stuff to try and get a reaction of out me because he has no real life, but honestly I knew an old guy who reminds me of him. This guy took an IQ test in like the 5th grade and it told him he was a "genius." He proceeded to fuck around all through middle school, do drugs, barely pass high school, became the town drunk, got a girl pregnant, beat the shit out of her, he went to jail, was like a two time felon, and was constantly fucked up on drugs and alcohol until his late twenties / early thirties I guess. He eventually joined alcoholics anonymous and his new identity is that of an addict, but the reality is just that he's a shitty person. Nobody likes him. His wife hates him. His kids can't stand him. But it didn't matter to him, because he took an outdated test once that told him he was a genius.
And to this day, in his mid-fifties, he goes around asking "What's your IQ?" It's pathetic, really.
In both cases, whatever intellect you guys had in the first place has to of been severely compromised by the amount of drugs you do.
The thing is that the world is full of "would be rock stars" and "almost Einsteins" who waste their whole lives and all of their potential because they're more in love with the image of being a polymath or prodigy as opposed to actually putting in the work and mastering something. Think about it, how many self-proclaimed "polymaths" do you know who spend hours producing "music" that's literally just a bunch of noises? I know like thirteen people like that. Most of them are complete losers who can't even read sheet music, don't really play any instruments because they lack the discipline to master them, and can't write anything that would even be remotely successful (that's why they're not successful).
I just feel bad for him. -

One thing that's always in the back of my mind is that there's just so much shit going on now. You know, the whole thing about a single stupid UDP packet going over in the clear and your whole security infrastructure failing cause of that (wasn't this how a lot of vpn users were tracked? a udp packet?).
If I were just telneting placed, sure, easy fucking peasy. But a web browser? You get your usual xhr stuff - sure that's old, but then you got all this new stuff like websockets, webrtc, dns-prefetch 'n all. Unless you're willing to put in that 20-50 hours of reading through all the shit out there and making sure non of it (nor it's implementation in a specific browser) won't betray you, how can you be sure?
That's the kind of stuff that keeps me awake at night.
The reality is, if your network is compromised, you can revamp it and still possibly have everything infected. Someone can keep you under surveillance for something you did six months ago. I mean, it doesn't take a genius to run Kali and crack WPA anymore. It's a game of unfalsifiable hypotheses. -

^you idiots are delusional trump isn't even a real candidate anymore.
He's number one in all the polls. He has the republican party by the balls because, if he runs independent, they lose the election. He also won every republican debate he was part of.
I mean, he also has way more media time than any other politician. -
2016-02-05 at 12:34 PM UTC in FBI cracks TOR Browser Bunlde in Unprecedented CP Bust..
I'm not really convinced that gathering information about someone who has verifiably broken the law constitutes unreasonable search and seizure but w/e.
I don't like the way it's represented as "this is vulnerability with tor", especially in non-technical media. It was an issue with firefox that existed in like 5 versions of stable, it just happened to also exist in the version TBB bundled.
This is where I disagree. Your IP address registering on a CP site doesn't necessarily constitute verifiably "breaking the law." You've got to consider that people could go to a website like that accidentally (because onion links aren't exactly descriptive) for less than five seconds or might even have their wifi compromised. The issue is that an IP address is conflated with personhood and that this somehow justifies the police taking action to the point where someone has to prove their innocence (instead of their guilt being proven).
This is where I'm confused. The reports and official statements of the FBI are very ambiguous as to how people were caught and what they were doing. My impression is (from the statement of the FBI) that they injected the malware into the Tor Browser Bundle for anyone who visited the site at all. It's one thing if people are producing or sharing CP, it's a totally unwarranted search and seizure to just load viruses on people's computers for visiting a link.
But even supposing that someone was in cyberspace sharing CP on a forum that was actually a compromised FBI server, it's still unwarranted search and seizure without a warrant. You have to have a basic series of checks and balances between the executive and judicial branches, otherwise there's nothing stopping the police from just infecting this malware on anybody. Maybe they're suspicious of some niggasinspace?
I guess it would be one thing if this was like a brothel where you get invited to fuck kids and you physically have to walk into it. The issue being that, with technology, the boundaries of responsibility, ownership, "possession," and privacy are pretty nebulous. I'm not trying to go to bat to protect pedophiles or anything, I guess I'm just pretty blown away by the hypocrisy of the police and the alarming precedent set here.
Also, maybe I'm not understanding but how is this not a vulnerability of TOR? If visiting a link can put malware in your browser to find your MAC address, Operating system, Computer name, Location, and ISP even if you have noscript enabled and java blocked, it sure sounds like a vulnerability to me!lol maybe you guys should cut back on the child pornography you watch on a daily basis. This is hardly "unprecedented"
This is unprecedented. The FBI has hosted child porn before in like 2012 as part of a a sting operation, but they haven't ever gathered this much information en masse without a warrant before on people for just visiting a website. Also, not all of us are pedos here, but you've got to realize they're talking about arresting potentially thousands of people over a span of like a year. I'm going to laugh when they break into some old lady's house to cuff and stuff her because her neighbor was using her wifi or something.
I can see the NSA doing something like this, but they're international. The FBI is domestic so this is a big deal.SWIM was in semi-regular contact with the admin, usually to point out all the holes in his gameboy level security. There were no flash videos or streaming and users were encouraged to disable javascript, but this is a guy who didn't think he needed an IDS and was trying to write his own iptables rules with clearly no previous sysadmin experience, etc. while being one of the largest targets on the internet for both blackhats and LE.
When I heard it had been taken over by the FBI and turned into a honeypot I couldn't help but laugh.
So I guess my question is how did people get the malware if they had javascript disabled and there were no streaming flash videos?
I'm interested in this discussion both from a technical aspect and a legal one. -

I'm familiar with Dr. Faustus, yea. I live where he used to do his thing. I have no doubt that he existed. I had to look up Tucker Max, though. What the fuck, Bill Krozby? They are maybe both alcoholic assholes but Bukowski*is something else. The other dude seems like a fratboy party dude with lots of money. Probably the opposite of ugly fuck Bukowski who lost his virginity at the age of 26 and hated everything.
Loled at this. Also, you're in Germany? I had no idea.
On a related note, Tucker Max might be a little cooler if he started shooting up like Bukowski.

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?
Fucking shitty parenting, that's what. -
2016-02-05 at 2:54 AM UTC in Have you ever rescued anything?
Lol. You tell me. What if you hit it and it was half-alive when you stopped to look? You think you would've tried to save it, or do you just leave it there to die, or put one in its dome and forget about it? Fucking IT.
It was a real little kid. If we would have hit it, it would have died.
We probably wouldn't have known. It would have just been a bump, we would have saw blood, and been like "HA PROBABLY SOME FAGGOT'S DOG."
We probably wouldn't know until the news was one later that night. -
2016-02-05 at 2:49 AM UTC in FBI cracks TOR Browser Bunlde in Unprecedented CP Bust..
This happened a while ago though. I remember reading about it like six months+ ago. Also, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Federal agents will break the law to make busts and how been doing so since the started.
I remember on one of the 'Master Minds' documentaries a fed was bragging about slashing this high-end burglars tire so that he would open his rear trunk to get the spare, and the fed van was parked nearby where he could take pictures of the stolen goods in the trunk. He didn't actually say he slashed the tires, but he hinted at it and laughed.
I just read about this in November.
And yeah cops do corrupt shit. That's not a surprise. The issue is that the cops are now setting a dangerous legal precedent about it. -
2016-02-05 at 2:42 AM UTC in Have you ever rescued anything?
You probably killed a lot of future lives by missing that kid that day. You should be ashamed!
I mean, if we hit it, I wonder what would have happened? Would we just vow to never speak about it again? It's not like they would catch us.
