Is the Bitcoin Community Under Attack?

[cottoneyeJoe]

So I just read the pool thread and ABCPool is being DDOS'd. Do you retract your comment about me spreading FUD yet  because this seems to fit within my theory.

Just coincidentally corroborated. Still FUD. Oh and DDOS < MITM. way.

I am aware that a 5 year old could pull off a DDOS and it is much simpler than a MITM. MITM is still not all that difficult and can be done with anyone using backtrack and googling how to do it.

If you notice the thread has a question mark and is a question, not a statement. I was asking and it was just weird that what I use to both mine and sell/buy bitcoin went down around the same time.

It's funny when people say all I do is spread FUD because the majority of my posts are about being bullish which would be counter productive.

Please explain how a 5 year old does a MITM on an https host.  I would love to hire that 5 year old for some network security work.

You have to use Google to find Backtrack and learn how to use it...hurry, you have 52 minutes before Wikipedia and Google resources are null.

I said a 5 year old could DDOS. There is a reason they call them script kiddies and thats because its so simple. A MITM is a little more difficult and i probably could have done it at 14. At that time I was hacking/hijacking corporate networks. I don't use my computer skills for such purposes anymore but its not as difficult as people make it out to be.

I didn't say that a 5 year old could DDOS so there was no need to answer his question. You made a very inappropriate and irrelevant comment. Do not post in my thread if you are going to be an idiot.

A DDOS can be done from a downloadable program. If you want someone to teach you to hack I won't be the one telling you directly. I probably already said too much by saying backtrack.

I am lol'ing so hard right now. Thanks for the laugh.

Is bittenbob being irresponsible for spreading hacking tips on these forums and claiming to own the threads he starts?

See...it's just a question...and I didnt say you were a five year old.

SSL is not the be all and end all. Handshakes can be captured and faked quite easily. Spoofing mac addresses is also very easy.

If all this was 100% there would never be any hacking.

I never said anyone was a five year old if thats what you were implying and you were a little more polite than the other posters. I haven't given any direct information on hacking with the exception of something that someone could google on their own. All I said is that a 5 year old could pull off a DDOS.

What does spoofing MAC addresses have to do with SSL and Handshakes ?

You know, I'd almost feel like you didn't know WTF you were talking about if the SOPA Blackout was in place and Wikipedia was not a tool for you.

I haven't googled anything and am going completely by memory. I rarely ever use wikipedia and especially not for technical matters. If you want to fake a handshake you will need to spoof IP and mac addresses. I am afraid it is you who doesn't know WTF you are talking about.

By the way Theymos, this thread is getting out of control and has nothing to do with the OP so feel free to lock it.

I think I'm OK with that.  But I hope he teaches me more about how to hack the whole internet before this winds down.

[bittenbob]

This isn't a hacking lesson folks and I will not teach you a damn thing. This thread was supposed to be asking if we were under attack as a community.

As a note here ABC is still under DDOS and no reprieve is in sight.

Then maybe you should start using Google. First off, just to get past the TCP handshake you need to be able to capture the response. As for the SSL handshake, you need the site's private key, otherwise all you'll get back is gibberish. And without knowing what that gibberish decrypts to, you can't send a response that will make any sense to the client. Since you are apparently good at cracking private keys, why don't you just start taking bitcoins?

Edit: I think my SSL is actually backward, and it's the client that sends their encryption key using the site's pubic key to encrypt it. But, that's just semantics.

It ain't that eAsY unless your 5 YO knows how to compile and test code.

http://www.metasploit.com/ takes care of most of that I thought.  Includes most of those already
