It's actually not exciting at all.. in the code that he posted (the code without the pre tags...) he left a valid gmail address/password combo. Gmail has that nice "Recent activity" thing which logs the IP address and access type for a couple of successful logins.
There's a small chance that he asked someone else to create a gmail account for him.
Armed with his (probably..) IP address, I used nmap.
nmap found some nice open ports, including http, so I used firefox to take a look.
I found a login prompt for a router, so I tried admin/admin thinking "he couldn't have been that stupid" - he was/is.
That's all.
Oh and I took the liberty of deleting his gmail account. They're free anyway. But maybe it will teach him something. For example, that he's not a real hacker.

Well, thanks for sharing. That was effort made by you investigating
Though, i think the last part wasn't a good idea. It just looks like he is new to internet world(and not a hacker!).

Why is he writing a keylogger then?
Anyway, it won't hurt him much, he hadn't used the account yet and he could just make a new one..

Unless you've got a text reader running on there, that's literally true.

Well, I could write "I'M NOT READING THIS" and have my hands over my eyes but it would come out "S'M MPW GIESFKND HUSF" and the joke, already expiring, would roll over and have all four paws in the air.

You can write without your hands?
Now I'm impressed

Depending on vote a member loses or receives reputation points, I wonder how a vote of 3 is rated.
I just received a 3 vote in the Lounge and lost 2 debator points, could that be?
Thanks

This is know bug in the forum voting that has just (as in within the last hour) been fixed.
I'll be rerunning the reputation population scripts which will restore any incorrect points.
[Edit: voting of 3 isn't an upvote, and it isn't a downvote. The rep FAQ only lists items for which points are awarded, so the current points system will not award any points for 3 votes]

Uh oh. Rep points rebalancing coming again.... Batten down the hatches, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

This is the point it's best to imagine me at the top of a tall tower, wreathed in lightning with my assistant Igor cowering in the corner, and me, hand on the creaky knife switch, laughing maniacally...

That's it, I'm getting a X-RAY Tube spark regulator. How cool is that.

the OP asked "I wonder how a vote of 3 is rated". The FAQ isn't clear on the subject, and so is your answer reply. All we know now is it is wrong.

I don't check CP on weekends, so normally when I get back monday morning, there's a lot of new stuff around.
This time I noticed this in QA:
This answer posted by [Name] on [Date] has been removed.
Even answers provided by well-known and respected CP members, so it can't only be spam removal...
So my question is: Has somebody started censoring QA and removing less than diplomatic answers?
I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but it leaves other questions open, like:
1) Where do you draw the line?
2) Who should be judging what's appropriate and not?
And more like that, I'm sure...

Can you post a link to a specific question that shows these messages? Chances are the answer was spam or simply inappropriate.

This was the one that got me wondering, but I had seen several similar removals in other posts before that.
http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/93290/just-to-know-what-it-is.aspx[^]
I know the question here is kind of stupid and probably deserves flaming, but In my experience, Christian and Abhinav normally deliveres quite kind remarks compared to a few others. That's why I thought it looked strange...

Sometimes answers simply aren't needed and either the author of the answer realises this and removes their answer, or an answer is considered completely irrelevant and unhelpful.

Hi Nirosh,
It looks like the original post date for the article is April 1st 2010. This means it won't be applicable to the June competition
Thanks,

After that many revisions, you guys should have given him a break and let him into the competition

Yes surely.... I too can play in the big league..
Nish,
I happen to follow you initially. Your articles are impressive. You are in the big league..
But me, I initially thought that these competitions are not for us 'who are non native English speakers'. But suddenly with couple of my previous articles I was getting better, and started to feel more confident. Then with my last article, I realized that I too can win and I am also in that big league. But I was not lucky, that article was not being selected for the competition.. not a big thing.. I will give it another try if they didn’t find a workaround to get me in this time.. Anyway there are much better articles in the list than mine too..

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the original post date was April. But that was not the published date. I kept on editing it without making it public. Somewhere in the middle of June only I published it.
So I think there is a mistake in the logic you guy use to find articles belong to a particular month. I think it has to be the published date not the date that I add the article to your version control system.
Let me know, if I am not right..
