Aaron's blog

It looks like Aaron got hacked again, by another jihadi.

It's about time to send someone to jail. Hacking a website is against the law. More importantly, hacking a website is just poor taste. Tacky. Juvenile.

Those bastards ought to be throttled. They're cowards whose ideas won't stand up to public scrutiny. They espouse a failed doctrine. When ideas fail, they resort to hacking. They lose automatically in any rational debate.

The problem is that these people hijack other people's machines to do their bidding. By using one or more proxy machines, they very effectively hide from where they are coming from.

Three times a day, some jerk who has the same ISP as me tries to probe my firewall for MS Frontpage vulnerabilities. He won't infect me, 'cuz I'm immune, but I can't even get my ISP to return my emails. I guess they speed read it and see that I don't really have a problem, and toss it out.

As bad as that is, I'm fairly sure it's a Zombie computer. The owner's PC probably got infected via the same method that PC is trying to use on me. It's also possible he went to a questionable site and picked up something. Vast armies of Zombie computers can relay hacking attacks, relay spam, or be ordered to request over and over resources from a certain webpage. This is what I assumed happened with the recent Hosting Matters DDoS attacks. (that's Distributed Denial of Service attacks for the newbies)
