heheh.
I keep getting calls from places like "windows tech support", Log me in and others. None of these are legitimate, but I do like to play along.
I especially like it when I can punk the windows tech support people. I even have a windows vmware partition I can activate and park on the DMZ for my router. Then I can see how it is they do their thing. SInce I don't have a Logmein account, the telephone "support" person gets frustrated and starts cussing at me. At that point, I tell them "thanks for confirming that you are not a professional. You have been punked. have a nice day!". such times are priceless. :)

So I led them on for about 40 minutes and never once mentioned that I was running Linux. 40 minutes was enough time to spin up a fake windows VM and install the exploited client binary on. Combine that with a .bat file that B) issues a force-delete on C:\ and it took them about 2 months before they tried calling me again, by then they had changed their remote agent to logmein. LogMeIn has some known vulnerabilities, but I haven't found one that will let me take control of their "agent's" computer.

I usually just do something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFWeoxrhbE8 and hang up, but if anyone finds a admin-level reverse session exploit for LogMeIn, lemme know. . .next bozo who calls I'm gonna install a keylogger and then write a script that parses their identity-theft-related information out and emails the victim and the FTC notifying them as soon as it gets typed in via email or text if such contact info is available.
