Revenge... what would you do???

[Mouse77e]

Ok, so you have a site… it gets hacked and or spammed… months of work gets zapped…what do you do???

The more evil the solution the better…

Restore from backup and be back to mormal within 5 minutes.

Then you start tracking the person responsible while thinking of what to do with them when you catch up with them - what they did in their attack is bound to provide some ideas for an appropriate response.

in the real world... my buddy Louise split from her ex when he was found in bed with another... so she waited till he was away for a few days, intending to spray a mix of milk and walm water on the underside of his furniture... (wait three days and wwwoooooffffffffeeeeee!!! Stinky) BUT the git had changed the locks so...
off Lou went to the shop... she came back with a plastic tube and frozen prawns... using the tube as a blow pipe throu the letter box in the front door... ok, imagine walm days and ripe, defrosted seafood...
there are some things you just cant do on line...

remember children, don't try this at home.

One of my sites is being spammed from an address in Korea. :mad: I'm looking forward to hearing the ideas on this one...

North or South? a friends dad was the GB ambasador in the south for years, and if George W gets his way the norh may not be an issue for long... in fact either way mail thewhitehouse.gov and report an oil find near the IP address of your spammer....

Just restore from a backup. There's now much else that you _can_ do. Do you really want to try to beat a profesional hacker at his own game, with your site on the line?

you can but you need balls, and a good firewall!!!

my brothers site got haked by a git in Ohio, shame Mr Ohio didn't read little Bro's Bio... he had just got a job with a web security firm who employ hackers to test sites... they did him and the greater web community a favour and remover Mr Ohio from the web. i'll have to ask them how.

[rhsunderground]

if my site was hacked i would find the hacker and force them to read everything on my site :D

[Mouse77e]

HHHMMMMmmmmmm Evil....

[Mouse77e]

just called Bro... he thinks the techies tracked the guy thru his IP and called the FBI... wow!!! aparently this is considered interstate/international crime.... hmmmm didn't get hacked again tho.

Your revenge should include lots of cottage cheese. That's my advice.

[Mouse77e]

but how do you squeeze the cheese through the Wireless (and presumable cheeseless router)

[Sunny G]

Put it in a zipped folder:p

[wh666-666]

what about embedding a virus in to your page to act as payback for any hackers?

[Mouse77e]

what about embedding a virus in to your page to act as payback for any hackers?
so, you'd put it in a folder called HACK HERE?... i'm still all in favour of the zipped cheese solution... :)

[pcthug]

No hacker is ever going to fall to a virus... Zipped cheese solution all the way!

[Mouse77e]

Now its just down to the varity of the cheese... somthing stinky i think...

[wh666-666]

lol hack here might be a bit too obvious ... maybe 'site_admin' ... i think cheese is a good idea but everyone loves cheese so what about fat free cheese ... now thats a punishment!!

[Mouse77e]

since i wrote this thread i keep having my PC probed by a user in the bay area of San Fransisco... grrrrr..... hear comes the cheese!!!! :confused:

[Sunny G]

zipping fat free cheese won't shrink the file size:p

We should all contribute cheese images, zip them and send it to this problematic hacker.

[wh666-666]

lol am i the only cheese lover?

[dotancohen]

lol am i the only cheese lover?

By your avitar, I thought that you were 4 cheese lovers.

[wh666-666]

lol yes dotancohen ... all 4 of us are cheese lovers, only problem is importing it to the artic

[Mouse77e]

Wh666-666, mate i think you need to look at the colourings in your cheese product, they seem to be having an effect on your family

[wh666-666]

lol yes but at least we dont get run over by snowmobiles!!! lol anyway mouse ive never tried it but apparently if you get a white rose and sit it in food colouring it will turn the same colour, and with animals as well supposedly if they ingest coloured food or natural coloured food like carrots!! Anyway mouse whats your favorite kinda cheese??

[Mouse77e]

Anyway mouse whats your favorite kinda cheese??
a nice bit of Stinking Bishop...

[Mouse77e]

lapparently if you get a white rose and sit it in food colouring it will turn the same colour
tried it with cellery at school... and it works well so go for it...

[stacywacy]

There are a few things I would do, and all in this order:

1. Scream "Oh, my God, Oh, my God" a few times with my hands on my head in shock.
2. Cry for a few minutes because all of my hard work will be gone.
3. Scream obcenities at the people who did it.
4. Freak out and say "Oh, my God..." a few more times until I figure out what to do.
5. Then, remember that I have a back-up of my site, so I restore it ASAP.
6. Go to my favorite Desperate Housewives board and Bitc, er, complain about it.
7. Go to sleep and have nightmares about it happening again.
8. Wake up in the morning and check my site to see if it's been hacked again.
9. Keep checking my site every hour on the hour for the next few days until I'm satisfied it won't happen again.
10. Go to other website forums and brag about how my site was hacked (sort of a badge of honor).

Yeah, as you can see, I really have no plan for revenge if my site is hacked, but I would restore the back-up and hope it never happens again.

Being a rat I'll eat anything- especially cheese. In any case, my master once sat on a tomato for 8 hours, and his butt most certainly felt red.

I was discussing this with my new wife over the weekend... and she told me the following story.

Before meeting me she was engaged to a games developer, who was head hunted from his small company in England by a large multinational games company in LA. So when he gets there his fiancée (now my wife) is making trips over about once every two months, making wedding plans…

Now, if you are overseas and avoiding paying tax in the US by telling the tax man that you are self employed in the UK, then shipping your money to an account in the UK where your telling the tax man that your paying tax in the US and these are your savings… NEVER do the dirty on your partner…

Especially when she has an email address for the IRS, the INLAND REVENUE, the US IMIGRATION SERVICE and the Los Angeles DA’s office… (he was telling his other Non US friends how to do the same thing…)

Lol good on her !! Found that very funny. A female friend of mine once made her favorite opera "The nutcracker" come alive, literally, when someone did the dirty on her. Not a good idea to annoy a woman !! Anyway good luck mouse.

[Mouse77e]

writing rude words on the lawn in mustard and cress seed works wonders too...
