Having fun with poor newbie who thinks hes being hacked...

 

Round I:

[19:31] <Pissedoff> omg ... heh ...

[19:32] <ErrorFroz> but i had them back there before i was on the internet

[19:32] <Baugnesh> one good way to check for hackers is to goto run on start menu, click it and type winipcfg, then click release all and you'll get a text log of folks on your pc

[19:32] <SirGoblin> they're not used for anything, just see yourself

[19:32] <SirGoblin> yeah, that works too

[19:32] <ErrorFroz> start then what?

[19:32] <Baugnesh> then click run

[19:32] <uridium> omg ERROR im getting the same shit !

[19:33] <Baugnesh> and type winipcfg then hit enter

[19:33] <Baugnesh> then click release all, it rights a text log

hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha.

[Guest Bosstones Fan]

Damn...those are some sick bastards playing with that kid's mind like that.

 

I love it.

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

Didn't read closely but didn't anyone confirm it was even a kid. Older people who are new to computers and the net are 10x dumber than a kid using a computer for the first time.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

The cads! Funny though.

[Guest HBK16]

Those are fucked up kids there. lol. Funny as hell though.

[Garth 0]

Poor little fella lol

[Guest hardyz1]

That was hilarious, although the deltree part was very mean.

[Guest Renegade]

How the hell did that fool manage to get onto a chatroom?

[Guest RenegadeX28]

So, in the end.......what happened to his PC?

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

That's what I want to know. What does "deltree C:\*.* /y" do? I figure I better not try and find out..

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

"deltree" is a DOS command that deletes a folder and all subfolders and files within it.

 

Specifying C:/ means it would delete all the files on C:. In other words, it would delete his harddrive.

 

/y, IIRC, would have automatically answered "yes" to the question of "Are you sure you want to delete these files?' so that the kid wouldn't be able to say "No" or wouldn't know what was going on.

 

EDIT: To clear it up just a bit more for those who don't know ...

 

In DOS, "*" is a wildcard command. If you typed a command relating to a file, you could say something like "del *.exe" and it would delete all files that have an ".exe" extension. If you typed "del blahblahblah.*" then you delete all files name "blahblahblah. SOOOO ... "del *.*" would delete ALL files.

Ouch. Thats harsh.

Holy shit... now, that was just too mean.

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

Yeah, it's pretty fucking mean. I editted the post to clarify a little bit more about the "*.*" modifier.

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

I used to know how to use DOS to make a file that was exactly 1 *byte* in size. I have the file still on my computer, but can't remember the command.

[Guest Muzz]

... That's unbelievable. Even I know what deltree does, standard high school IT stuff.

[Guest DARRYLXWF]

....Oh dear.

 

I really hope that wasn't an elderly person. I can't stand people messing with them. Though I doubt it was.

[Guest Ravenbomb]

so mean, and yet, so hilarious
