chrisbrunner.com — As the administrator of a free shell account provider, I see all kinds of questionable activity on a regular basis. People usually try to cover their tracks before trying anything stupid. Not so in the case of Mr. Machelesen of the Netherlands.

Maybe he hijacked this person's PayPal account too.

Oh god... you're honestly trying to argue that what? someone broke into his house and did this? His father is trying to frame him? Get real, dude.

I was logged on to silenceisdefeat via ssh at about 4:00 PM CST yesterday, just messing around and talking to folks in their IRC channel. I noticed the system was running slow, and ran 'top.' The topmost line, sorted by %CPU and with the option to show all command line arguments, was:32641 defusion 64 0 1104K 2280K run - 1:17 86.04% perl udp.pl 66.252.4.76 80 0Then not too long after, sd's IP range was null routed by their colo service. A listing of his home directory shows scattered examples of "security-related" tools and files, including a compiled brute force password cracker:samble@brunner:~$ ls -F /home/defusion/a.out* du.txt* nmap-4.01/ ps.pl* rl.pl* scan/ users.txt*benchmark.c* for* nmap-4.01.tar.bz2* public_html/ roulette.log* tr.pl*doc@ mail/ parser.pl* rl.csv* roulette.pl* type*samble@brunner:~$ ls -F /home/defusion/scan/216.194.pscan.22* 82.66.pscan.22* auto* scan/ start*404.shtml* 84.75.pscan.22* brute* scan.conf* vuln.txt*A little swipe of Occam's Razor, and I don't think a reasonable person would have much doubt. I realize this is digg so that does not apply, but I will abstain from making an appeal more suitable the readers and users here.

pffft, 1.6m tall. haha... really is a script 'kiddie' after all... Apparently, the Dutch were the tallest nation in the world (a couple years back - can't remember...) - but then again, you get some anomalies...
