Supreme Cmdr Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 Well, shortly after I left the Terminus board last night, I got hit with a 500+ message mailbomb. Below is one of them, complete with header info, which I've sent to pobox.com and the FBI section that deals with that sort of thing.The idiot didn't realize that I do a mail scan on my server first, before downloading my mail. So when I saw 586 messages on there, alarm bells went off. So, I did a header search, grabbed the important emails and one of the mailbombs and just deleted everything on the server.Nice folks, huh? quote: Return-Path: Received: from growl.pobox.com ([208.210.124.27]) by runyon.mail.mindspring.net (Mindspring Mail Service) with ESMTP id smibft.j9n.37kbi7f for ; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 21:59:25 -0400 (EDT) Received: by growl.pobox.com (Postfix, from userid 18) id 38DF0105DA; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 21:59:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: from smtp1.san.rr.com (smtp1.san.rr.com [24.25.195.37]) by growl.pobox.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id AD60D10527 for ; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 21:59:22 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ntp.usdhs.org ([204.210.45.250]) by smtp1.san.rr.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-0U10L2S100V35) with ESMTP id com for ; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:59:33 -0700 Received: from ntp.san.rr.com (NTP.usdhs.org [172.16.0.2]) by ntp.usdhs.org (Post.Office MTA v3.5.2 release 221 ID# 35-64939U200L2S100V35) with SMTP id org; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 19:02:39 -0700 Received: from 38.30.237.234 by ntp.san.rr.com (InterScan E-Mail VirusWall NT); Sun, 09 Jul 2000 19:02:36 -0800 Reply-To: [email protected] From: "Derek Smart" To: "Derek Smart" Cc: [email protected] Subject: BC3000 Is The Greatest Game!

Gallion Posted July 11, 2000 Report Share Posted July 11, 2000 hehehe, technology at its finest. Little do the majority of the people using the net know how easy it is to trace these types of activities.If the perpretrator knew wht it was doing then there would have been false trail(s) and what-not left about.TTFN[This message has been edited by Gallion (edited 07-10-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallion Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 Ye gets to spend time within the confines of various penal locations scattered about the country (US).

Steve Schacher Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 You're right that it probably isn't hacking. It's more likely to be a "denial of service" attack, where the perpetrator tries to clog your system and prevent you from using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
