Do Not Ever Steal a Hacker's Computer

this is hilarious hahaha. This guy is the ****. I want someone to steal my stuff just so I could own them like this guy did

woah. sooo, hackers steal big money from big companies by pirating. then somebody steals their "baby" and look what they can do. it goes to show that those big companies can do nothing to hackers. tsk

zoz is my hero of the week.

Nice teachings. I use TeamViewer + DynDNS to protect my babies and editable network config xD!

But yeah, he got really lucky. If that computer were to be sold to another "knowable" person, he would've never gotten it back.

Cheers!

Hahahaha! Awesome! But seriously! He got lucky this guy was retarded!

The guy who stole his computer is a classic example of someone who applies for unemployment and welfare (as the new .pdf application forms on his desktop were proof).

While there was a little bit of revenge and vindication for this hacker, most people never see their computer again...

it gives me great ideas on how to protect my machine. keylogger controlled by me, remote viewing software...

(evil grin)

whoever steals my machine won't know what hit him.

That was pretty low-tech, all around. From its vulnerability to its recovery process.

Hey everybody! LOOK AT THE NERRRD!

I wonder how long will it take until someone talks crap about this awesome video simply because the guy owns a mac.

OMG, this guy did same things I can do with my windows box! He's awesome!

He wasn't the thief though. Just some poor guy who bought a stolen laptop. Amusing story but the recovery was mostly luck.

How did he know if this guy stole his machine or just bought it from someone? Also why show the pics of the girl? Also, why would a hacker use a Mac? All pretty weak in my opinion.

aww man JUSTICE feels so gooooooood

Even if the guy that the machine was recovered from wasn't the actual thief who gives a shit? Everyone from the original thief to I'm almost going to gaurentee the pawnshop owner who probably took said machine in are guilty of felonies ranging from posession of stolen property to B&E and receiving stolen property. I think it was pretty cool though that the guy was able to run all the software he did and piece it all together to get his machine back.

See, Jobs? All your damn security didn't stop him from learning everything he wanted to about that kid.

Jobs? Security? I don't think so.

As. For hackers using macs, its simple. They are lighter, have better screens and generally have the best battery life. That's all a hacker really cares about. If he wants to bootcamp he can, run linux? Sure!

Most hardcore it guys own macs purley because you can run the mac os easier than a hackintosh, and running everything else is easy as pie because linux and windows aren't picky about hardware like macs

awesome video ! lol. Worth the 20 minutes to watch it.

Somehow I feel sorry for the thief. Even though he is a thief but to humiliate him like that is kinda sad in my opinion. At the least blur his faces on the pictures.

heres the video

No real hacking being done, but still good to watch. If anything it's sort of moronic to be constantly running a VNC on your computer and have an open SSH port in case someone finds an exploit or gets your password and then you're the one that gets pwned by your own stuff.

Come on, how can you take a "hacker" seriously if he's running a mac? Answer: you can't

Amen ^^

And I leave my baby were any thug could steal it. >_<
But I do have a $20 deadbolt.

That was quite entertaining, thank you Toms.

This feller was extremely lucky. If I were to steal a computer, it would be my first instinct to wipe the harddrive completely and re-install a fresh copy of Win.

Not exactly hacker more than just "smart dude vs Dumbass". =)

@xurwin yea but he didn't break the law by accessing the stolen computer remotely. It was his computer all along. If companies accessed your computer to delete movies that would be illegal because they down own the computer.

Heh...

A while back (in anticipation of college dorm life) I set up my computer to FTP an IP report to a webserver every few hours or so, with an IP config dump as well as the external IP.

If anyone decides to steal my computer they're going to get caught real fast if they connect to a network without wiping the HDD first.
