Hello motherfuckers of DOOOOOM.
No really, Hello everyone out there. Even though, I guess there's only 2 readers or something.
So yeah, I changed my name from Pvpede to Prototype. Reason of this is mainly because I'm damn tired of trying to say the right pronunciation to the people that can't speak Danish. Therefore I took a more.. Normal name.
But yeah, this page will stay the same, pvpede.be will still exist, but I'll probably not go for "Pvpede" anymore.

"Short" about BotNets
Hello folks.
I want to start of by saying thanks to Vindicated from MMOwned for giving the idea about this subject / topic. Then, I would like to say that I only have been researching this for 10 minutes, and therefore, there could be made errors in my explanations.
Hope you'll understand what I'm saying anyway.
What is a botnet?
A botnet is a term for a lot of computers connected to an network - mostly an IRC Network. But it's not just normal computers - it's "zombie computers". Zombie Computers are computers that have been infected by a hacker, and the hacker should have control of the PC.
Why's that dangerous?
Because he's using the computers to send mails out to everyone - via the IRC network. Remember, the PC's are connected to the same IRC network, and on the IRC network, there's a bot that is controlled by the hacker. An example: The hacker could just write: "!sendmail" in his IRC client, and the IRC bot will do the rest for him - it'll send out mails from the Zombie Computers to everyone on the maillist (maillist is typically layed on some webserver).
I don't get it.
Of course not. In the emails that's being sent out, there's included virus'. Trojans, worms, keyloggers, Passwordstealers, everything. When people open these applications, their computer turns into a zombie computer. They can't feel it, and their anti-virus will not report about it - since the virus' being sent are homemade and therefore not detected by any anti-virus. The person being infected will now be connected to the botnet.
Oh.. But, what's the point of it?
The hacker has control of his botnet now. Now, he can go to any underground selling site, like unkn0wn.ws and sell his logs, that the IRC bot creates. Lets say, that in these logs, you can find Credit card information, passwords for everything, personal information and so on. Therefore, the hacker can selling his logs for something around 1500£, if it's a big botnet of course. The cool thing is that it's a really good business for the bot-herder (botnet controller).
How do I protect myself from these emails?
Just use common sense. You can of course be unlucky, and one of your very trusted friend has been infected, and therefore you're like: "Nah, he / she wont be doing that..", and then you get infected. Therefore, you always should check by yourself on some analysing site. I can't remember the site that I use, but yeah well...
Usually I don't get mails with links for anything - but ..
If the mail says: "Look at those awesome pictures from my holiday!" and there's an EXE included, you probably shouldn't open. I don't want to explain why, if you don't get what I mean.
Or - if you know that the person hasn't been on holiday .. Or you can ask the person back if it really IS the person. As far as I know, the IRC bot doesn't have an AI..
Final notes
But yeah, you should really take care out there. There's some unknown botnets around there, and some VERY private ones that no one knows. I've been tricked into a botnet once. Had to buy a new PC, because I got infected by multiple things. Not just one virus ..
But yeah, basicly, a botnet is a network of computers connected to the same IRC server. From the server, the botnet controller (bot-herder) can control the computers totally, without the computerowner can notice it.
Ask if you don't get something.

[WoW] Why the fuck I hate scamming.
Hello tards.
I'll talk a bit today about.. uhh.. WoW Scamming. Or just scamming.
Personally, I hate it. I hate when you're scamming someone else. Seriously, before the scamming got popular, you could actually trade at some forum. Now you fucking can't.
At Markeedragon, they've made a rule that if you scam, you'll get banned. Banned, OH REALLY?
Seriously. When you're banning the scammer, how does that help the victim? Nothing really.
The scammer can use this awesome shit, called a proxy, and create a new account, new email, and a new alias. (fakenamegenerator.com ?)
So yeah, banning on a damn forum wont help. And banning the WoW account that the scammer took wont help much either. Or would it?
Getting your own account banned, 'cause a scammer scammed you?
Okay, yeah. Nice?
Then you'll get it back. Probably with all the gear deleted, because the scammer wanted some "fun". Oh yeah, how fun is it to fucking delete gear that the kid used 6 months to get?
How nice.
===================================
Okay. Now going on -->
Message to all scammers, actually.
Lets take it from this:
You've just leveled 80. You're like: "Yay, I'm fucking going ultra-heroics and quit schoolz and stuff!".
Then you're going to do loads of raids, heroics, quests, goldgrinding, getting awesome gear.
After a few months of ultra-gaming (24/7), you've finally achiveved over 120 Achievements, and you've got full tier 7.5 (or whatever it's called).
Now you're like: "Ahh damn it's fucking boring to play druid.", so you're thinking about trading.
But you're thinking about it a few times, since you've heard about the high chance of scamming. You're going to Markeedragon, since that's the most popular. Then you're looking for, lets say, a rogue, lvl 80 with nice gear.
You're like.. "Hey.. Maybe this guy wants my fucking awesome dr00d.".
You're asking him for his MSN.
- After you've got his MSN and he've accepted your offer, this happens:
You're now thinking that he's a trustworthy guy, since his English is fluent, and he doesn't sound like he's completely lost with WoW and so on.
Your heart is beating like insane. You're thinking "Oh shit, I MUST GET THIS ROGUE NAAAAAAAAW PL0X".
- you're fastly agreeing by anything he says, and *boom*, you've changed your mail to his, and he've changed his to yours.
Now, you give eachother account information, and you give the right one - but you receive the wrong one!
You're all like: "Oh you son of a fucking bitch, I'm gonna hunt you down like Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger combined."
But you know deeply inside that you've been a damn victic of a scammer.
Reporting to police wont make a difference, because they wont take care of a fucking game.
Now scammers..
How do you feel now?
"I feel fine, I'll keep on scamming". Sure you will. But look,
When you're scamming a lil' kid who surely have been putting a lot of his freetime and money on his/her account, then seriously.. How do you feel?
Good, for achieving such a nice account?
Bad, since you know that this kid has used loads of his time on the account?
I guess you feel good. Fucking good. Getting heavy orgasms and hardons.
Maybe not that much, but really. You're all fucking evil.
- Now, now. I'm not done yet bitches.
But, what do you do?
You already have scammed like 3-5 accounts with the same gear, and you hate druids.
So of course, you go into the account, turn on "FRAPS" (which of course is cracked, because you don't have enough money to afford a single application), and spamming: "I like cock and your mom combined" or something unmature like that.
Now, that's not enough. You're thinking: "I'm gonna delete all his fucking gear and delete all his bags and disband his guild".
Now - you're not only ruining his fucking account, but also his extremely nice account with awesome gear that he've been playing on for like .. long time. And not only have you wasted loads of hours of his life - if you're disbanding the guild, you're actually also ruining other people's WoW-addiction.
They'll have to find a damn new guild.
I'll ask again,
How do you feel about scamming?
Good?
Bad?
Good, probably. I can't speak sense into your minds.
Some of you have high IQ, and therefore more succesful scamming, and opposite for low IQ-guys.
So yeah,
Fuck you scammers. Eat your own shit.
