Our tech-teacher didn't know what 127.0.0.1 was until we told him


I don't know what's more funny about the "hacker", how can he hack his own computer several times and format the HDs without even finding out, and what kind of hacker would 'go over' to the person he wants to hack tell him what your intentions are and then ask about the persons IP

what they should have done is to get his IP, call the cops on his ass claiming he has child pornography on his computer (from prepaid phone service driving 160km/h in highway wearing unusual clothes and hiding your talkign and then dumping the card afterwards before hacking it to million pieces) adn see how he likes them apples.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any thing on his HDs anymore.

was that the idea? No. It was to get cops raiding on his ass while he is re-installing windows again.

Why you ask? Why not?

And yes, I realise most normal users will not know what that address is. However, among "hackers" and people with a basic networking knowledge that is one of the first things you learn. That is one of the first things you need to learn to get anywhere with networking so if you do not know that address, it reveals that your networking knowledge is virtually nil.

And quite clearly, the guy is harmless. While out to cause harm, he is much too stupid to do any and can (and was) handled easily by letting his stupidity run its course.

One day though, he may not be quite so harmless and will do real damage. Although I have a suspicion he was using a shared computer.

Unlikely. The dangerous ones are those who can think for themselves.

I had no idea as well. Also I have no idea if a good hacker can really get so easily around a firewall without being somehow detected.....isn't that the entire point of having a fw (that he can't then, of course)?

It's just a shortcut to the save function on the File menu

I didn't know what it is either

Adagio,

Your tech teacher may not know what Ctrl-S is, but I guarantee he knows 1000 times more things that you and your classmates don't.

We have this dude that we work with that is 26 and STILL acts like that.

He acts like everyone around him is an idiot, and people are really starting to get sick of it.


But in his case, he's overcompensating.

As I said I thought that ctrl+s was common knowledge. I know that he knows a lot of stuff that neither me nor my classmates knows, that's why he's a teacher. Everybody in my class was a bit shocked that he didn't even know that
But I guess ctrl+s isn't that common afterall

like it's that difficult to go up to file and hit save.

anyways I know about ctrl-s for saving games in civ and smac. And that's what is important.
