“This is the seventh part of the story of a community network
that was cracked and what was done to recover from it. … In this
article I explain what the Cracker did when he broke back in, our
recovery from this, talking to the cracker afterwards and bring the
story to a close.”
“Once we had the hole secured by turning statd off we connected
back to the Internet and turned our services back on as we
installed/configured. It was not long after we started running our
IRC server again that the cracker showed back up to talk about his
conquest. He starts off this conversation bragging and happy about
the damage he has done. The other people and myself are angry and
as the conversation went on became more and more angry.”
“He tells us all about how we made him do these things and
that it is all our fault. Little children talk like this. If you
ask them why they do something what you hear is a tale about how
the other person is at fault because they made them do it. … He
continues by telling us how he was unfairly treated in our IRC and
how this justified his revenge. Again it is not his fault we
made him do it. He also makes some amazing statements such as
asking us if we think we own this place. Why yes I guess we
do.”
