- delusr, on 10/10/2007, -6/+162Awesome now hes gonna track down every digg user for the current DDOS attack on his website.
- DirtySnachez, on 10/10/2007, -8/+144Server meltdown at 62 diggs.
New Title : Hacker gets his own back by letting guy DDOS his own site. - whatthefu, on 10/10/2007, -11/+135That is one ***** ugly site layout.
- dinostabOMG, on 10/10/2007, -5/+68Wow, can't believe this is necessary:
/sarcasm - twelvedogs, on 10/10/2007, -10/+56i want a pwnie
- phillyjo, on 10/10/2007, -4/+45Looks like the hacker found this site.
Site dead. - SnaKe09, on 10/10/2007, -10/+44who the ***** says "p0wned"
- Markpdotcom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33Wow, Vanilla Ice posts on Digg!
- Murdats, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33oh no. you have pointed out this mans inadequacy as a human because you believe he wasnt sexually promiscuous enough.
I am sure if he had the chance he would go back and pick up more sluts in order to better himself as a human and to contribute more to society, instead he is left with suicide as his only option. its a shame, he would have been a great guy if it werent for the fact that he didnt have enough sex. - marcz, on 10/10/2007, -9/+38A taste of the hackers own medicine. I like it.
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28There's a russian commercial web-site hacking software suite which, according to Symantec, can hack about half of all websites. It attacks, among other, vulnerabilities in php. I'd guess that's what this loser ***** Smelyansky was using to hack this guys site. It's too bad Russian authorities wont do anything about him even if this blogger reports him. Except possibly offer him a job.
Personally I find it more interesting that so many morons here on Digg seem to support a script-kiddie like Smelyansky. - gforce42, on 10/10/2007, -6/+31A pwnie to ride with Al Capwn
- em22, on 10/10/2007, -10/+35Erm, I think you will find that Vadim Smelyansky is the fellow who wrote that tool, he is a systems engineer from Israel - http://www.linkedin.com/in/vadiaz
I think you may have done a knee jerk reaction here... Not very smart until you are 100% sure with question of a doubt that you had the right person...
Bloggers eh? Pretending they know what they're doing! - dbr_onix, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Nah, if people didn't recognize that as sarcasm, Digg would need to allow the blink HTML tags to get the message across.
- DinX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25My Little Pwnie ?
- katanaswordfish, on 10/10/2007, -8/+27Follow up story: Attention-hungry blogger found dead of what appears to be exposure to the potent radioactive isotope Polonium 210...
In other news: Russia changes its official name to: "Ru- seriously, we didn't it this time -ia"... - ichbinladen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19pwned
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Note to self: Filling a bug report online may result in some angry juvenile bloggers posting your picture on the internets along with accusations that you hacked the Gibson.
- Proctor, on 10/10/2007, -5/+22Websites Suck.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21"Vadim Smelyansky" that's hillarious I use Vladimir SmellYanksMe as a generic Soviet name all the time.
- Rivetgeek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Dude...hes a nerd, not a sniper.
- kshakir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14dugg mirror: http://www.duggmirror.com/security/Blogger_tracks_down_the_guy_who_hacked_him_publishes_his_name_and_photo/
- BrewBeau, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13wpw! pwned isn't even a wprd.
- ramaz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14The above collection of comments appears to be sprinkled generously with verbage from Vadim himself, or his buddies, using pseudonyms and attempting to do damage control, as well as to inspire fear in the hearts of diggers about any effort to defend oneself. Vadim and those like him are simply sub-human.
Justin Watts, I salute you! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Digg DDOS or hackers on steriods which is worse?
- hammerpants, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Dude, your website is hideous. He was just putting it out of its misery.
- jues, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12is funny, i like
- ventralnet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn#Etymology
- drunkendash, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Not really.
The webmaster here only traced his attacker. The attacker was not attacked himself. - LoneThistle0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10His email is vadim@VadiAz.com
I wonder how he would feel if it was spammed to DEATH. - eliburford, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10hmm which one?
- smacksaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Russian authorities? That's not who you talk to in Russia anymore.
- CurrentResident, on 10/10/2007, -14/+22Maybe as retarded as explaining the origins of pwned to a group of computer geeks.
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9There's a definite possibility that Vadim is Nashi and/or employed by the russian government, both of which have strong presence here on Digg, and are known to use hackers, e.g. in the cyber-attack on Estonia.
I checked the profiles of some of the guys who've defended him, and at least the accounts are not brand new. They may still belong to Vadim, maybe he's used Digg to game sites, but my guess is that the people who've rushed to his defence are Nashi and assorted script-kiddies. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7To those whom are burying jer2eydevil88: not all of us have usage of the Firefox Duggmirror plugin.
- Myonosken, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Hmm...Posting a foreign site on an English site. Smart move.
Also, who gives a *****?! The hacker obviously didn't. Some people would have baseball batted the prick when they found him so he seems pretty nice to me. - shdwghst457, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9ah yes, the digg denial of service at work
- proliance, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Do you really want to give this guy your email address?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Looks like everyone can crash his site, not just a hacker
- ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Try Saudi Arabia or China.
- Ryosen, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Ummm, no. The term has been in use since the 80s.
- persept, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Come on != Common
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I enjoyed much of the story and the detective work the blogger did. However, it is possible... perhaps even likely that the real hacker used a different name in the forum posts to throw blame on someone other than himself. Just a thought.
- cawpin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Are you an idiot? Wait, why am I even asking?
- screwloose45, on 10/10/2007, -11/+15Buried for "p0wned".
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Well, it has a wikipedia page...
- Smuikas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Actually, there is a very good reason for it to be narrow. 50 characters may be a /bit/ too narrow, but even so: one of the things you learn in professional typography and layout is that there is generally an "optimal line width" of about 12-14 words per line (about 78em). Any shorter than that and reading comprehension is lowered, as the reader pays less attention to the end of a line than the beginning. Any longer than that, and it becomes more difficult to find the beginning of the next line, often leading to the reader beginning to read the same line they just finished reading!
While it is narrow on this layout, there is a very good reason for it. I would have preferred him to use a larger font size and wider content width, with his embedded scrollbox codes (scrolling with code in that narrow of a space is annoying as hell) expanding to be wider as needed. - Frnnkdlxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4OH! HE SARCASTICALLY TORCHED YOUR ASS!
- sleepwalkers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh God, the horror! THE HORROR!
