Assholes

We weren't expecting to find an asshole this early, but here's part of the IRC log from #dn42:

j> spam

somerandomnick> j: I'd suggest not spamming here ;-)

somerandomnick> Feel free to spam #anonet :-)

j> sorry, died for a bit

j> I'm working on updating my spamming script to target here

j> I just need to add a cupple lines

j> Why not?

somerandomnick> because dn42 doesn't like spam

j> What will they do about it?

somerandomnick> They will complain to me :-)

j> What keeps me from spamming them directly, not through here?

somerandomnick> j: That's between you and them.

somerandomnick> but if you spam them through here, they will complain to me

j> Yes but I need you for telnet

j> Otherwise this won't work

somerandomnick> j: then I suggest staying with #anonet

somerandomnick> j: You can spam #anonet as much as you want. I don't mind.

j> fine, you spoil all my fun. Later

j> I"ll get a good few spams in here later on

Ivo> j, why?

j> but not to many

somerandomnick> j: LOL, sorry ;-)

j> well, if I succeed in annoying two networks so they part from each other, I've succeeded.

Ivo> uh?

somerandomnick> LOL

Ivo> what two networks?

somerandomnick> j: I don't think we're about to part from each other.

j> I haven't been spamming here yet

somerandomnick> but if I get complaints from dn42 about you, I think anonet will have to part from you

j> how?

lex> j: Exactly why are you even interested in spamming? It is not considered a gracious activity in the slightest

j> I just do it to annoy the shit out of everyone.

lex> j: And you take some kind of crazy pleasure from annoying other people?

Ivo> j, I really don't understand why you would do that

j> It's just base64-encoded /dev/urandom, but it'll fill up screens, irc logs, and make it hard to have areal conversation with that going on.

somerandomnick> j: What's wrong?

somerandomnick> You come to anonet to test your spam script, I say no problem,

somerandomnick> and offer to help.

somerandomnick> I didn't even hear 1 "thank you" and never asked for one either.

j> well

j> You can't stop me even if you wanted to

somerandomnick> If your goal is to have a contest, I'm willing to take your challenge.

j> I'm just out to cause problems for anonet and be an asshole. Later

somerandomnick> Sorry, guys, for the spam ;-)

somerandomnick> alice: Sorry about unlinking your server. I shut down the relay until we can fix the spam problem.

j> did it work?

somerandomnick> yes

somerandomnick> Now, dn42 will depeer us.

somerandomnick> ;-P

j> good

somerandomnick> I think you need to try a bit harder ;-)

j> full scale?

somerandomnick> still not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve

somerandomnick> sure, why not?

j> mission goals to annoy people.

somerandomnick> If that's your only goal, you aren't doing too bad ;-)

somerandomnick> but I think you can guess my goal ;-)

j> what is your goal

somerandomnick> You can't guess it?

j> to stop me, maybe.

somerandomnick> well

somerandomnick> What would your goal be, if you were in my place and I were in your place?

j> I would try to limit the damage one spammer could do.

somerandomnick> good guess :-)

Ivo> j, I don't understand why you do this

Ivo> you want to break some darknets apart?

j> yeah!

Ivo> which ones?

j> I don't know.

somerandomnick> LOL

Ivo> so, what do you know about darknets?

j> nothing.

somerandomnick> um

Ivo> ok, so why do this?

Ivo> why not annoy some other people?

Ivo> Im sure you can easily annoy more people on a large irc network

j> This is easier. I just telnet to anortr.ucis.nl 8803 and spam.

somerandomnick> and how does it help you?

j> It doesn't.

Ivo> so, what's so much fun ?

Ivo> btw, do I know you?

j> no

Ivo> oh cool

Ivo> so how did you find out about anonet?

j> what's anonet?

j> I just telnet here and start

Ivo> how did you find out about this place?

j> I found it while searching for telnet servers somewhere.

somerandomnick> ;-)

Ivo> oh right

Ivo> sounds like fun

Ivo> so, you were looking for telnet chat servers to send spam ?

j> yes

j> Is there another one that's more popular?

Ivo> damn.

somerandomnick> Nobody really uses telnet anymore for chat ;-)

somerandomnick> hehe

somerandomnick> but if you don't mind writing to IRC, you can use any IRC server ;-)

j> irc servers can ban you though.

somerandomnick> right

somerandomnick> It's possible to ban here too, but it's a bit harder ;-)

somerandomnick> You need to get everyone mad at you before it's really possible to ban you here.

somerandomnick> but if you succeed, it's equally hard to unban you later

Ivo> do you feel good now?

Ivo> oh yes, definitely

Ivo> oh come on...

Ivo> j, I can easily ban you

somerandomnick> Ivo: That's a technical accident.

Ivo> don't care.

j> Youd' have to ban whole of tor.

Ivo> :)

somerandomnick> How easy or hard it is to ban him isn't the point.

Ivo> oh well, we have dns blacklists now

somerandomnick> Most IRC networks ban tor, and anonet can also, if necessary.

somerandomnick> UFO has full control over that, so even if I prefer to let you stay here, if you annoy UFO enough you're history, and there's nothing I can do about it.

j> What, UFO can change the etlnet port?

Ivo> :)

Ivo> oh yes

somerandomnick> He can block tor from the telnet port.

j> shit.

somerandomnick> He can shut it down completely.

somerandomnick> ;-)

somerandomnick> and me liking you won't help

Ivo> j, where are you from ?

j> That isn't important.

Ivo> no it isn't

Ivo> I'm just interested

somerandomnick> j: If you succeed in annoying all ~20 of us on anonet, what does it add to your life?

j> nothing.

somerandomnick> then why do you want to waste your time on it?

j> Because I can.

somerandomnick> You enjoy getting banned?

j> It's tor, not me.

somerandomnick> You're part of tor.

somerandomnick> and even in that, we don't have to ban tor completely

j> shit.

somerandomnick> You just create a little more work for us in spam countermeasures.

somerandomnick> You're 1, and we're about 20.

j> Pretty soon, you'll get tired of my spam and close anonet.

somerandomnick> We can probably develop countermeasures faster than you can develop measures, right?

j> right.

somerandomnick> j: I won't get tired of your spam for the rest of my life.

Ivo> so, do you do this all the time, j?

somerandomnick> I love spam.

j> yeah

Ivo> hmm.. interesting hobby

j> off to tweak my script.

After this, UFO censored j by blocking access to IRC from IcannNet. Hidden tor services have been opened (on the main page), so j can come back and try spamming again.
