Already I'm chuckling. So I said." Sure whatever scooter here you go. My IP address is 127.0.0.1" He goes," That's not a real IP." I said." Sure it is try pinging it. My security is so good you'll never get through so I'm not worried about it." A short time passes and he PMs me back" You idiot. never give a hacker your IP address. I'm in your computer already I'm uploading the hard drive killer now." He then proceeds to give me a countdown on the killer upload. Well right about 95% he stops PMing me. I go to message him to ask him where he is and what do you know that player was not online. LoL I added him to my F list and I haven't seen him since. I guess he really did have that hard drive killer after all. This just goes to show you that a little knowledge in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing but you gotta love script kiddies. They have just enough knowledge to be potentially dangerous but not enough brains to be a real threat.
EDIT: For those of you not as tech savvy 127.0.0.1 is a loopback IP for your own computer. It is mostly used for connectivity diagnostics but it can also be used to mess with people. |



I've never heard of that kind of thing before. I'm glad he posted it; it was a nice read
