I didn't call anybody dumb. Let's look at the facts. He wants a free (anonymous) shell to run ssh, scp, and IRC To keep in contact with family and friends. He is not willing to look at alternatives, even if they are free and would do the same, but from his machine. He jumps down peoples throats, that are trying to help him. I can ssh, scp and IRC from my laptop. But if I do, I'm not anonymous, I leave a trail If I pay for a shell account, I'm not anonymous any more. How are most of the compromised machines on the net controlled ? By IRC bots. If I ask a group how to do something a certain way and they tell me to try something else, I explain why that won't work, I go more into depth why I need to do it they way I asked. When you ass these up, it starts looking suspicious. So if I think someone is trying to pass TOP SECRETS back to the mother country, I start asking more questions and being less helpful until I get a better explanation. Which I haven't seen. And yes I do see the black helicopters overhead, but it's ok, I've got my tin foil hat on. :-) -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Ryan Rix Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 1:03 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Shell Account On Thu 2 July 2009 12:17:00 pm JD Austin wrote: > Gotta love when people are too dumb to change their handle :) > Lisa, Bob, JD: Please pull those sticks out of your asses. Thanks. Calling someone dumb on a public mailing list is simply unacceptable. Now, Vamp's been on the #plugaz IRC channel on Freenode for a while now (longer than I have, at any rate). I've talked a lot with him and the guy's got good intents, and is not someone to do such things as you guys accuse him of WITH NO REASON OR INTENT besides JD's belief he should use cygwin and Lisa's infinite paranoia. If he really was intent on LAWL HACKING MY BOX BECAUSE I GAVE HIM SHELL ACCESS LAWL OMG HAX IM SO SCARED FOR ALL MY DATA WHICH WOULD BE SO POWERFUL IN HIS HANDS OMG ITSIMPORTANT THAT I FLAME HIM AND CALL HIM DUMB FOR ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION he would, with your shell or not. I'm sure you're all running the latest patches on all of your services, after all. e_e, Ryan --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
