Israeli Intelligence?

Oh noes, the Isreali government is trying to take over AGN!

ALL OF GLENN'S HACKING ATTEMPTS MAKE SENSE NOW!!!

Oh, someone beat me to it already, sorry.

Haifa, Israel.

Dude, an IP address just means that a computer made the request. It could be a proxy, a machine with a virus, or a TOR exit node. Considering it was a cracking attempt, I'd be very surprised if the person who owns the computer that staged the attack has any idea it was used for the attack.

If they tried 10 common passwords per user, it was just some script kiddie and nothing to fear. I'd imagine the wordlist was something like "password, password1, drowssap, qwerty, 123456, ..." I believe stupid passwords like this actually hits something like 1/3 of the people on the internet.

*edit* Also works good on luggage...

Fascinating. I just did a Google search for that IP range and found that several other message boards had been attacked recently in the same fashion.

Well, if you guys see me start acting like a pretentious cock who won't shutup about his personal opinions and constantly drags people into flamewars and unreadable rants about metaphysics that have no place on a video game forum, then you know I've been hacked.

Prepare to open the airshield. And somebody change the lock code on my luggage!

Somethings tells me that if the Israelis wants to find out someone's password on here, we would know nothing about it. In fact, we would probably all just disappear overnight and never be heard from again.

Aw, and I was all fired up for a political discussion on Isreal's imminent attack on Iran and how it was going to spark World War III. BigJoe, you disappoint me. 😉

...*confused* Why on Earth would Israel want to take over a semi-obscure internet game forum? Or if Rock Nog is right, forums in general?

Because we are having open political discussions. Therefore, we must be evil terrorists.
