This is a bogus post to scare people away from using the site. nobody is hacking any accounts, there are not bots. The reason for this is simple, our troll was kicked out of the original OWS camp because he was authoritarian and a drama queen. At first I felt sorry for him because he is young but his need to obsess over this one website and group of OWS denotes criminal psychopathy and should be recognized and ignored, unless arguing with the mental makes you feel superior.

I never hacked an account, but I used to use bots for down voting conspiracy theorists and to automatically post pictures in their threads. I even shared the bot code at one point (you can confirm this with jart, she personally deleted that thread out of fear that others would use the code.) Jart also knows there are bots because she can check how fast they operate by looking at the site's logs. My bots would login in a few milliseconds (way too fast for a human).

I don't use bots anymore, but there are other people using bots nowadays.

You're a cook, and you have demonstrated more than once through your comments that you don't understand how bots work. For one, you have the strange notion that a bot would take away -100 karma points instead of something like -4 or -10. The fact is, bots can do anything you can do manually on the site, and taking away -4 is better because it isn't obvious like taking away -100 and still gets the job done. When my bots were perfected, they would take away 1 point every hour for around 6 hours. This made the attack more gradual and human like. Using that type of attack fooled everybody, even you. I remember once you claimed that it wasn't a bot because it acted too slowly. Interestingly, that was exactly what is was programmed to do.

In fact, one of the reasons there are bots here today is because of people like you who, instead of thinking logically, make all kind of assumptions. The only way to stop bots is to make a thorough investigation using the scientific method. Analyze who quickly they operate, what they do, what IP they're from, do they use a proxy, how often do they change their proxy, do they target a specific user, must they rely on human intervention to operate, etc...

One thing that would make bots way harder to use would be a Captcha on login. The reason is because without it bots can be automated to login and logout very quickly. With a Captcha, a bot operator would be needed to manually login the bot, greatly slowing down the attack. You see, for every down vote a registered user is needed. I login bigBot, downvote, logout, then login, teenyBot, downvote, then logout. That's -2. So, for each -1 you need a login. Your idea of a bot down voting to -100 is possible, but you would need 100 registered users, or some way to hack into the database. (Most bots don't hack or do anything illegal, they just automate manual process, that is, they send HTTP requests automatically instead of manually. They don't tamper with the database through nefarious means.)

If you believe the US government is lying about 9/11 boy or if you even think they might be lying you are a conspiracy theorist too. Welcome to the club?

And if it is true as Noam Chomsky says that there is no evidence against bin Laden then surely the US government has been lying for these almost eleven years. Shouldn't that annoy you?

it matters not. The deed was done

maybe it was bin ladan

does that make a difference?

No, a conspiracy theorist is someone who presents or espouses an alternative theory of events. I believe what most of the US government says, but, for the things I don't believe, I don't present an alternative explanation because I have none.

The problem with conspiracy theorists is that their explanations make no sense and have no proof. If you make a claim, then you bear the burden of proof.

I really think this guy ShubeLMorgan2 suffers from a type of brain disease. A delusional illness, perhaps similar to schizophrenia.

The government lies, but conspiracy theorists lie even more. Every thing they say is a lie. They're lying machines. Both the government and conspiracy theorists piss me off.

Everything every published by the 911 Truth movement is a lie. So, supporting this movement and linking to documents that support it is propagating lies. That mentally ill conspiracy theorist ShubeLMorgan2 does nothing but talk about 911 Truth. He's here to divert the subject and waste our time.

How you do it, I don't know. It's beyond my knowledge and experience.

  1. He bears the burden of proof, not I.

  3. 911 conspiracy theory nonsense is not allowed on this forum.
[-] 1 points by frogmanofborneo (602) from New York, NY 11 years ago

Actually the US government bears the burden of proof. If you insist on representing them, then you do too. I have said things that are clearly known about 9/11. I have mentioned only facts about 9/11 and what should be obvious- that it matters very much who did that deed and why. This sends you into incredible snit fits. You resort to thug tactics because you have no valid responses.

PS Occupy Wall Street clearly does invite and utilize the talents and endorsement of Immortal Technique who is in your terms, a notorious "truther" and "conspiracy theorist".

Again, your logic is flawed. Predictable.

Saying that 911 truthers are full of BS says nothing about whether or not I support what the government says. One can be both against government nonsense and conspiracy theory nonsense.

Now, why did you flounce yesterday? Why did you pretend to leave, but just changed usernames?

The source code for this site is available for all to view if you click on the github link at the bottom of any page. It is possible that in this case having that source available for all allowed for exploits to be written.

IDK if this is true or not, but it IS plausible.

Is it plausible to assume you are a conspiracy theorist?

[-] 1 points by XenuLives (1645) from Charlotte, NC 11 years ago

I said it was plausible, not true.

The fact is, that code is available for all to see anytime they want to. That's the downside to having open-source software running this site.

Actually, it's an upside. It makes it more secure. It was proven time and time again that having more eyes look at code gives more chances of finding bugs which helps in security. On top of that, the code is based on a widely used Framework called Django on which thousands of programmers have worked. The whole authorization routine is quite secure.

Your spreading falsities. Don't do that.

I generally like open source software, but not in this case.

This is like setting up a security system at home while telling thieves how the locks work, what exactly is in the locks, etc. Unfortunately a couple of people have used that information to write bots. IDK if this particular claim is true, but we have people confessing to the bots at least.

Again, experience and experiments have shown the opposite to be true. Open source software which use a lot of programmers like the Django Framework is more secure than most closed source systems. On the desktop front, Linux is extremely secure as opposed to Windows. The examples are countless.

The fact that you believe writing bots has anything to do with looking up source code shows that you don't really know what you are talking about. I was one of the first to write bots for this website, and I did not look at the source to accomplish this. In fact, I could write bots for any site on the web whether I know the source code or not. All a bot does is send requests that you would normally send manually via clicks. One just needs to analyze the requests being sent via a simple program like an HTTP request sniffer to accomplish this. Many Firefox plugins can do this. Once you know how the request is formed, you simply need to construct it programmatically and the bot can do his things without supervision.

You are spreading a misconception. I suggest you read articles written on the subject. You will see that open-source code is generally more secure than closed source code. In any case, the particular code for this website, the Django Framework, has existed for years and has proven extremely robust.

In passing, I'd like to say that I have given a few recommendations to make the using of bots more difficult. One thing that would hamper bots extremely would be to use a Captcha on login (not only signup). This means a bot would need the help of a human to login, forcing a bot creator to baby sit his bots a lot more. The fact that login in can be done very easily has permitted me to unleash my bots and to make them login and logout all automatically while I go out and drink beers with my friends.

I drive a car but I am not an automotive engineer. I hear a strange noise under the hood nd I can guess what it might be but I take it to a trusted expert. That person (entity?) decides what the problem is and the correct course of action to take. Ditto my computer and the internet. I see something strange but I can't fix it. i do believe that if i knew how Thrash does what he does, I'd do it too.
