I'll probably get voted down for this, but... The guy isn't exactly an idiot as he did successfully carry out a attack...immature...yes...inappropriate...absolutely (would have been nice of you to just inform Chris or someone - maybe ask for a free t-shirt or custom CP security guru status. Much better on a resume than village idiot) To call him an idiot, is just not fair or accurate I should say... In a way...it's nice to know it's over and done with and shouldn't happen again...kinda like getting the measels or chicken pocks...or ripping a bandaid off quickly as opposed to slowly... Cheers :)
It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!
I agreed with some of what you said, but I don't think this will be the last of it. One the little prat tells his "friends" how he hacked CP then they will be all over us. Not to mention (until yesterday) I never even bothered trying to find holes in CP because I believed that a site this size would have covered them a long time ago. I think this is going to be nothing more then an incentive for others to try and find holes.

Some guy named
fbi123hacked the Vista, Lounge, Poll, and Suggestions forum and posted the CP source code. Then he deleted everything below the message (rating, other posts and footer of the page). That's just what I saw, I'm sure he probably did more. It was mess.

He posted HTML, not the source code. Do a "View Source" and you'll see a resemblence.

I disagree with you. It is not particularly hard to find holes in many big web sites, especially those that can be exploited remotely by script. If every little dick who found one started to exploit it rather than have the good sense and manners to report it then the world wide web would be one big locked down uninteresting place. To me an idiot is someone who demonstrates a lack of good intelligence, and the trouble maker in this case fits that definition perfectly. That fact that it is illegal, and he has just broken a law which carries a prison term, only makes him more of an idiot.

I can't modify my original post, but wanted to add that my vote just pulled your message out of the red and into the grey. I guess your fives must have been from bronze members - I'm sorry I only meant to take you to a 3.5 to 4ish. :doh:

Finding another tag that does the same thing as PRE? Yeah real clever! At least that's what he's doing with the new exploits. This whining baby has less intelligence than a fly who's landed on a horse's arse and got squashed between it's butt cheeks. ;P

He's an idiot, or something worse, for his actions, blatant racism, lack of ethics and forethought, not his skill in posting something that screwed up the generated page HTML.

But it did happen again. After he created another account and decided that his ego wasn't properly represented on CP. It's just more fuel for the argument that he is, indeed, an idiot.

:laugh::laugh: But in defense and from the point of view of the fly, it's hard to get out of the way of what appears to be a PLANET hurtling towards you!

A site this size has a harder time plugging all the holes IMHO :P

Let's piss him off some more so he and his buddies can execute DDoS attacks on CP and bring it down completely for a few hours??? Maybe he'll obtain our user/pass and pose as one of us... :) Dude doesn't need attention, especially negative attention (calling him an idiot???) that's just gonna get him fueled up for more silly-ness... Cheers :)

Dude you are damn right! I know what I'm talking about. No, I'm not a hacker but I just got banned from the MaximumPC forum for LOOSING CONTROL. It is a bad idea to fuel someones anger because it will only end up in a endless loop of violence of any kind. :rose: If in anger learn how to forgive and to glide. ... it is difficult to forgive but it must be done, otherwise great power will be taken from you. The hacker must forgive or he will only fall into more hate and personal suffering.
