Story of a Hack

If you are like me, and you hate hackers, this story is for you.
A chat channel spat ended when a wannabe hacker was duped into deleting his own hard drive.The 26 year-old German claimed he was the baddest hacker in town and threatened to attack a moderator on #stopHipHop’s RC Channel because he thought he’d been thrown out.He demanded the moderator cough up his IP address and prepare to be hacked.The moderator sent back a bunch of numbers and there then followed a period in which the moderator assumes all manner of hack tools were unleashed at the IP address.Finally the hacker declared success.”I can see your E: drive disappearing, he gloated, “D: is down 45 percent!” he cried, before disappearing into the ether.It seems he’d been hot enough to hack his own address.

Wannabe hacker meet Justice, Justice meet Wannabe hacker.
FYI: The moderator gave the guy his own, and I quote, “loopback network connection.” – “If you telnet, ftp, etc… to 127.0.0.1, you are immediately connected to your own machine”
The guy was basicly just given a referrer to his own system if I understand it right. Maybe the guy will learn from this and quit trying to be a hacker.
Hilarious if you can read German:
