As I said, chippy1337 provided me with a password used by an opped user..
Thanks for your comment though!
[double post]
I just got a message with with a command, copy/pasted and bam I was another user and was op.
Surely if I planned to do this I wouldn't do it under my real IP or nickname..
unless you're a moron
@Alex
Right, which I'm not.
What for? It's freenode. Channel was back in right hands in few minutes. All this was just little stupid meaningless excess. We have something to talk about now but not real damage done (apart from @TheHackBox auth pass ownage - that's the only real nasty thing done).
So I ate a sandwich today.
wait is this the Cest Pit?
If you go into #lowendtalk that chippy1337 guy is there
Even if I believed that (I don't) I'm glad that I never trusted my data to someone who would copy-and-paste commands from someone else without knowing what they do.

@lbft
Its IRC.
@ChrisK: Most clients have commands that can directly execute things on the machine..
Its IRC.
Yes. It's IRC. RFC 1459 (and followups). Unless you were trying to imply that it being a certain protocol somehow gave you a free pass to be an idiot?
@Joepie91
There is no need to be rude.
As I said someone named 'chippy1337' contacted me on IRC..
Why do you play this card every time you avoid answering anything?

I think that 'need to be rude' originates from your involvement in this whole thing.
This isn't where I parked my car.
Let the party hit the floor. Let the party hit the floor.
@Taz hate to break it to you... but if you were thinking of the song by Drowning Pool, then it's "Let the bodies hit the floor".
awkward turtle
Just pulled it off my head lol.
I feel like giving the whole story here.
So here we go.
(Steps)
1. @joepie91 's network was hacked (a while ago)
2. Hacker gets password from network hack
3. Hacker hacks my account on freenode
4. Hacker ops self in room and bans everyone
5. Hacker gave @ChrisK password and @ChrisK opped self.
6. I regained control to the room and unbanned people.
7. Set invite only on room, disconnected from freenode.
8. Come back and I cannot get in the room.
9. LET and LEB get ddos'd by my hacker.
10. Waited until @William came online to invite me back.
11. Removed +I on room and now the room is back to normal.
So important lesson from here is: IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.
TLDR: Cryto IRC network was hacked, hacker hacked my account with pass, took over room, banned operators, I then locked myself out of the room.
TLDR #2: Even I fail at security sometimes.
EDIT: @ChrisK was not the cause of the DDOS. The hacker launched the attack against LET and LEB.
I remember Avante host, The owner was the immature kid that kept hitting my cron when we was working on the server about a year back.
Now this is a guy I want to rent a VPS from. "Uh, I ran a few commands I found on google, and I deleted your VPS."
Considering background information on that "Chippy1337" thing i guess it sounds plausible that they hacked @joepie91 and after that DDoSsed stuff.
I'm confused too.
Why do I have a feeling that someone staged this epic drama for us to run our popcorn levels low.
I already ran out. I'm on sunflower seeds now.
You guys haven't learned to buy in bulk yet? It prepares you for any drama spikes in advance. In addition, if you buy five boxes, you get a GIF collection free.
So, someone gave you hackintech password. Why would you of just ignored it or reported it to him instead?
Given that he was not smart enough to maintain different passwords on seperate networks, then just my opinion is he should have his powers removed in the IRC.
This doesn't mean I agree with what @ChrisK did though.
