Spammer's Identity!

[Krang]

I found out the identity of the person who spammed our forums. It's Paul's friend, Fenix. Here's how I found out:
The spammer criticized my graphic design on my site. There are several boards for graphic design at the forums (http://www.cyphersshack.com/forums/) that Fenix is an administrator at.
The spammer said that phpBB "sucks," and that YaBB SE was better. Paul's old host, Geeks Online (http://www.cyphersshack.com/geeksonline/) (which Fenix is affiliated with), is running YaBB SE.
The spammer claimed that I don't know much about PHP (even though I know alot about it, probably more than him). At those forums I linked to above, Fenix claims to be a "PHP Master."
The spammer accused me of having a store-bought PC (which I don't), and was showing off about his dual Athlon XP. Here's Fenix's signature at those forums:
I gotz mad php skillz!
Dual p3 533EB 512mb SDRAM. 10gb Maxtor, Alton MB
Dual XP 1800+, 256mb PC2100 ECC, 120gb WD SE, Asus MB
p4 1.6a, 256 pc2700, 40gb WD, Need to buy a MB..
The spammer used two IPs, one for each name. Fenix mentions that he has several PCs networked in a post at those forums.

And here's the one that absolutely proves it:
The spammer used the IP address 12.248.103.4 when he posted as "HAHAHA," and 12.248.196.156 when he posted as "Ipwnzj00." Here's what I found when I did a lookup of cyphersshack.com at Samspade:
dns cyphersshack.com
cyphersshack.com resolves to 12.248.196.156
Just wanted to let everyone know who spammed the forums, and that Paul was probably behind it, since I doubt Fenix would know about my forums without Paul telling him. Sorry for making this an announcement, but I wanted to make sure Azure sees it when he gets back from vacation.

[Karpo_007]

That is really lame... How can he be an adminstrator somewhere... Or is it he's own board?

[Nickokapo]

Paul behind all this? o_O well i never thought he'd do something like that...hmmm...i'm speechless :oops:
"I PWNZ J00" :lol: i shouldn't be laughing but...he thinks he's l33t :roll: someone can't spell here...
What i can't understand is why they've done it.... :-? probably without a reason :ohwell:

wow, nice detective work krang, damn spammers, is Fenix the same guy paul tried to make wheeljack with? I can't belive anyone would want to spam this place, but maybe it was Fenix's revenge on Paul if it is the same guy from wheeljack oh well I could frankly care less as long as there is no more spam :dead:

[Nickokapo]

wow, nice detective work krang, damn spammers, is Fenix the same guy paul tried to make wheeljack with?
Yeah, fenix gave him the hosting space and stuff, i think.
I can't belive anyone would want to spam this place, but maybe it was Fenix's revenge on Paul if it is the same guy from wheeljack oh well I could frankly care less as long as there is no more spam :dead:
I don't know why anyone would want to spam the technodrome :-? but i don't care anymore...the spam is gone and that's all it matters...SPAM, SO GOOD ITS GONE :thyper:

[Nturtle]

[Nturtle]

Bleh!!! spammers probebly spawn on the bottem of dark putrid messageboards :dead:

[PWDESAI]

hey
yeah, kevin might have done it, but i wasn't behind it, I'll talk to him about it. i did tell him about the board, because i said i wanted my forums something like this, so if that's so bad, sue me i don't care. I'll be back in a while, because i'm more into he-man right now, I MADE A CUSTOM NINJOR, be sure to check it out, it's really cool. Wow awesome detective work krang, i'll be sure to talk to him about it.
catch y'all later.

[Nturtle]

Good to know you wern't part of the spaming paul just try to keep them from coming back here

[Skeletoncrew]

Brilliant deduction Wadsworth! Er, Krang.

[Kameko]

Allright, Krang! Not, bad, old bean. :trazz: No more spam! No more Spam! No more -- Allright, I'll shut up now. :toops:

[Nunchucker]

*Tut tut tut tut*

I go away for a few days and look what happens :o

Anyway, glad I missed all the fun

[Kingkapong]

cool. spam and spammers are now on the top of my hate list. :x :x :flaming: :tmad: :evil:

[Nturtle]

Internet was supposed to be the ultimate power for freelancers, idealests and information to be spread where every one helps each other. But spamers, pop-up ads and big corperations have ruined that :(

[Fenix]

wow, great detective work! i bet that was hard to type my IP address into IE. How can i be an admin? hmmm... well, maybe its because i know what i'm doing unlike Krang here. Ok, so you know all about classes and object oriented programing in PHP? has anyone ever paid you to make a PHP script? no, if you knew more about PHP, you might think about using it on your website, instead of plain HTML. yep, you know more about PHP, since you don't even use it. ok, so you didnt buy it in a store, where then? the DELL website? i am a PHP master j00 f00. And really, why would paul tell me to spam these forums, i decided to after looking at them and falling off my chair laughing at how much they suck. And if i felt like figuring out what your IP address was, i would look at the apache logs, but i don't really care. and guess what, i have a dynamic IP, if you know what that is. Oh and nickokapo, you think your cool because you say l33t? well you play with toys, and have every single TMNT ep, you loser. why would anyone want to spam this forum? maybe because its extremely stupid, a forum about toys, not just toys, but old toys that are stupid. HorseTechie, you can get to it just fine, maybe your just to stupid to spell it right. notice how it says "cyphersshack.com" idiots. yea, krang is an old bean, and he knows jack about computers too. well, i'm out,i expect this post to be deleted, but thats ok, i don't realy give a **** anymore.

[Fenix]

oh and something is missing from my sig, the fact that i got my system overclcoekd to 1.66ghz each CPU, i'd liek to see you do better.

[Nunchucker]

well, i'm out,i expect this post to be deleted, but thats ok, i don't realy give a **** anymore.

Excuse me, why are you still here then?

Getting a tad bored? Kindergarten closed today?

[Krang]

Fine, I'll stoop to your level just once because apparently that's what you want.
wow, great detective work! i bet that was hard to type my IP address into IE.Of course it was easy, because you were stupid enough to leave such obvious clues.
How can i be an admin? hmmm... well, maybe its because i know what i'm doing unlike Krang here.If you knew what you were doing, you would have more than a pathetic 26 members and a laughable 274 total posts.
Ok, so you know all about classes and object oriented programing in PHP? has anyone ever paid you to make a PHP script?Yes, I know about classes and object oriented programming, because I'm a Computer Science major, you idiot. It's amazing how much you think you know, when you don't know anything about me.
no, if you knew more about PHP, you might think about using it on your website, instead of plain HTML. yep, you know more about PHP, since you don't even use it.If you weren't such a moron, you'd know that I don't use "plain HTML," I use SSI on my site. And SSI can be used to include PHP scripts (sorry if this is too advanced for you). My main page is actually running 4 separate PHP scripts. A page doesn't have to end in .php to use PHP. Besides, these forums also use PHP, or is that not obvious enough for you?
ok, so you didnt buy it in a store, where then? the DELL website?This may be a new concept for you since your mom buys your computers for you, but I actually bought the parts separately and put the computer together myself.
i am a PHP master j00 f00.That's laughable, especially with the "l33t" talk.
And really, why would paul tell me to spam these forums, i decided to after looking at them and falling off my chair laughing at how much they suck.Wow, you must really have no life, then. I thought your page and forums sucked, but unlike you, I have a life and don't have time to spam every forum that I don't like. Besides, I'm not that immature.
And if i felt like figuring out what your IP address was, i would look at the apache logs, but i don't really care.Yeah, I'm sure you know the exact date and time I visited so you know my IP. Oh wait, maybe your site gets so few visitors that you know each IP address by memory?
and guess what, i have a dynamic IP, if you know what that is.Liar. You use ATTBI, and I know for a fact that they mostly use static IP addresses, if you know what that is.
Oh and nickokapo, you think your cool because you say l33t? well you play with toys, and have every single TMNT ep, you loser.Wow, you think you're so tough by insulting someone over the internet.
why would anyone want to spam this forum? maybe because its extremely stupid, a forum about toys, not just toys, but old toys that are stupid.Because it's obvious you're jealous of the amount of members and posts we have. And this forum isn't about "old toys that are stupid." Comments like that make you look like a ignorant moron.
HorseTechie, you can get to it just fine, maybe your just to stupid to spell it right. notice how it says "cyphersshack.com" idiots.Again, you're not as tough as you think you are by insulting people over the internet.
yea, krang is an old bean, and he knows jack about computers too.Yeah, XX may seem old to a kid like you. And if I knew "jack" about computers, I wouldn't be a Computer Science major.
well, i'm out,i expect this post to be deleted, but thats ok, i don't realy give a **** anymore.No, I'm going to leave it here, so that we can all get a good laugh out of it.
oh and something is missing from my sig, the fact that i got my system overclcoekd to 1.66ghz each CPU, i'd liek to see you do better.No thanks, I don't want to participate in your little "games."

[Karpo_007]

Well that post makes it clear that this guy is either really stupid or about 12 year old.... or both... "I spam theses forums cause they look stupid"
Damn... Some people really don't have a life...

[Nturtle]

yeah really I mean go out side get some fresh air you probebley need it :dead:

[No I don't think so]

so if i didn't have a dynamic IP, explain how i got back on here? If you had any clue about ATTBI you would know they have dynamic ips. for a Computer science major you really sound like an idiot. I'm sorry, but did you say you had a life? playing with TMNT toys, thats a pretty good life. yea, you are 5 yeards older than me and play with toys. Let me ask you this, when you were 15, did you have an internship at US robotics? NO! were taking an A+ certification class at the age of 15? i bet not. I build my own computers you idiot, as if you couldnt seee that from the great detective work you did, you even posted it here. you're a cleaver one. Why would i be jelous of this board, first of all it has one of the crappiest PHP board out there. Second of all you don't have a clue what photoshop is. and Third, TOYS!! leaving obvious clues? think about this, i don't giave a rats ass if you have my IP, so why would i try and hide it? games? how is challengeing your computer skills a game? Kindergarten? try highschool bitch. i wouldn't talk about no life, when you play with toys.

[Nunchucker]

Kindergarten? try highschool bitch. i wouldn't talk about no life, when you play with toys.

Oh I am sorry, but I think your confusing us with someone who gives a toss

Have a pleasent Day :D

My apologies to all

[Karpo_007]

Im sure of it now. He is a litlle brat. 15? He acts like a 5 year old...

[Nturtle]

yech... I've met people like this, they can be brillient with computers but as people they are like competitve sickly zombies with hard wired little minds and a terrble amount of nothing to do. Why don't you take all your little coputer skills somewhere else and stay there, no point in yo being here jerk. :x you just give the moderators a headache, you take up time and space do something useful, and if not useful then something better then you're doing now :dead:

[enigma-1]

*just shakes head, seeing no point in giving any other response* :| :tneutral:

[PWDESAI]

:cry:

[Krang]

Here we go again... :roll:
so if i didn't have a dynamic IP, explain how i got back on here? If you had any clue about ATTBI you would know they have dynamic ips.Ok, then, explain this: I use ATTBI, and my IP address hasn't changed in almost 9 months. A dynamic IP address changes every time you connect to the internet. Maybe you're changing your IP on purpose, or maybe ATTBI uses dynamic IPs in your area, but mine's static.
for a Computer science major you really sound like an idiot.For a self-proclaimed "PHP master," you really sound like a whiny, bratty imbecile.
I'm sorry, but did you say you had a life? playing with TMNT toys, thats a pretty good life. yea, you are 5 yeards older than me and play with toys.Point out any post that I ever made on this board that said that I play with toys. I don't think you understand what the TMNT are.
Let me ask you this, when you were 15, did you have an internship at US robotics? NO! were taking an A+ certification class at the age of 15? i bet not.Let me ask you this, do you think I care? In your words, "NO!"
I build my own computers you idiot, as if you couldnt seee that from the great detective work you did, you even posted it here.I never said you didn't build them, I just meant that your mom buys the parts for you.
you're a cleaver one.A cleaver one? http://www.cookeryonline.com/Resource/Topics/Knives%20/Images/Meat%20Cleaver%20small.jpg :lol:
Why would i be jelous of this board,I never said you were jealous of the board. I said you were jealous of the number of members and posts that we have here.
first of all it has one of the crappiest PHP board out there.It is? Then why is phpBB one of the top 10 downloads on SourceForge? If you think phpBB is "crappy," post your opinions on this board (http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/). Go ahead, I dare you.
Second of all you don't have a clue what photoshop is.There you go again, assuming things that you know nothing about. Of course I know what Photoshop is, otherwise I couldn't open the PSDs in phpBB's graphics SDK.
and Third, TOYS!!And there you go with the toys again. Flaming message boards that are about a topic you know nothing about makes you look incredibly stupid, not that you don't already.
leaving obvious clues? think about this, i don't giave a rats ass if you have my IP, so why would i try and hide it?Because I can report you for harassment anytime I feel like it. And you can't report me, because I'm only defending myself.
games? how is challengeing your computer skills a game?That's not challenging your computer skills, that's wasting your money.
Kindergarten? try highschool bitch.You may go to high school, but you have the maturity level of a kindergartener.
i wouldn't talk about no life, when you play with toys.And there's that mention of toys again. There's alot more to TMNT than just toys. I thought you would maybe get a hint by looking at the forum names, forum descriptions, and topic titles, but apparently you still can't understand that. Besides, I thought Paul was your friend, and he collects TMNT toys. One more thing, for someone who supposedly hates the TMNT so much, you sure visit here often...

[Nturtle]

One more thing, for someone who supposedly hates the TMNT so much, you sure visit here often...
Good point Krang!!!! :lol: this could go on forever so I suggest that we just drop the subject and move one, he can kep insulting people but there is no substance in what he says

[Karpo_007]

Yeah who could take that guy seriously? Acuses that we are childish and then he post somethig like: "I know more than you do! haha you suck!"
and:"why dont anyone want come to my board? and this place looks stupid i spam it!"

Maybe you should lock this thread krang....

[popkornLT]

He thinks he's so amazing because he knows so much about computers. Well good job, kid. You'll be successful in life, I'm sure. But good luck at socializing with that approach... lol, are you like this in person? if yes, well... if all you're going to do is compare your computer knowledge with everyone else, and deem the rest "stupid" (nice maturity) .. I'm sure you'll have lots of friends. I'm sure you're just great at overclocking your PC, but lets see you go out and make a friend without talking about your overflopping googleplex triple bisecular anti alaising quadramagnetic bump mapping texture wrapping self cooling dodecahedron of a computer. Go out and enjoy that 'life' of yours, see how many sites you can spam TODAY! Weeeee!

[Nturtle]

right on Popkorn!!! but whats the use, there are so many people like him its seems futile

[Karpo_007]

True... And no matter who it come from he wont belive a word...

[azure turtle]

Hmph... I think everything I would've said has already been said by Krang and the others. No need for me to repeat anything, unless something was too difficult to understand (which I doubt).

[Krang]

Well, the only point of making this an announcement was so Azure could see it, but since he's back, I'm moving it back to GD. Also, you're right Nturtle, this probably will go on forever if I don't do something about it, so I think I'm going to take Karpo's advice and lock it.
