Does anybody with more time or understanding of this document know how those boxes were exploited? What lessons, if any can we learn from other peoples mistakes?
- Periodic 17y agoGenerally when people post their cute hack-logs they remove anything that would give any information as to how it happened. They aren't interested in showing off how they did it so much as that they did it. It's all part of the hacker-kiddie posturing. I mean, who would respect you if they learned all you did was figure out that someone had a weak root password by brute forcing it?
- fleitz 17y agoWhy bother with the complicated stuff when you can walk right in the front door?
- redcap 17y agoI don't know about respect for the hacker, but I can't believe that anyone who pretends to be a security professional can get away with weak passwords if that's the case here (and presumably for astalavista). My confidence in their ability to know their stuff drops.

That nobody is safe, that everyone, everywhere is owned; these guys are gonna take your balls. Their gonna send one to the LA Times, one to the New York Times, press release style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on: we cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us. ~ skalar <skalar@autistici.org>
