Too Dumb to be Republican
thane December 22nd, 2006
Oh dear. Some people are just too stupid. It seems that a congressional aid attempted to solicit the services of a hacker to alter his grades. Unfortunately, he chose to do so by e-mailing the security site attrition.org. The complete transcript is up, but it has been slashdotted. I post here some excerpts:

I need to urgently make contact with a hacker that would
be interested in doing a one-time job for me. The pay
would be good. I’m not sure what exactly the job would
entail with respect to computer jargon, but I can go
into rough detail upon making contact with a
candidate. Thanks for your help.security curmudgeon
So, I need three things to make this happen:1. A picture of a squirrel or pigeon on your campus. One close-up, one
with background that shows buildings, a sign, or something to indicate you
are standing on the campus.2. The information I mentioned so I can find the records once I get into
the database.3. Some idea of what I get for all my trouble.

everything was PERFECT until their night noc ran a reverse udp traceroute
back to one of the hosts we had set up after that, straight DOWNHILL.
i’ve already been called twice by my isp asking about unusual activity,
some other shit about access attempts to a federally monitored system they
have everything in logs including the rot-26 stuff that finally got me
access all goes back to your login sorry i really fucked up BAD
Too stupid. Way too stupid. I don’t even think that this qualifies for the ‘culture of corruption’ category.
