A hash is irreversible .

you would think so buts its not..

Edit: On a second read, I'm not sure what you mean by hash. If you do mean a hash-value, lets say md5, then it is irreversible. Can make your own hash pretty easily by: asc is the ascii-value for the current char in the string: squarroot(theHash + asc), and do that till you are out of chars - then remove the decimal sign. Very easy - and if you find a way to make it back to the original string... well... ok, I give up - its impossible.

you can brute force md5 hashes due to collisons or use a chosen-plaintext attack or know-plaintext attack, to quicken the decryption. Its not as secure as it once was for a one way hashing function

i doubt very much though if the "scammer" decrypted MD5 hashes, more likely managed to grab a cached copy of the webform passwords.

social engineering oe educated guesses even over MSN is a lot simpler and quicker means of compromisig accounts.

What are you lot like?

Rampant means the symbols used to replace the actual password on screen which are used to stop someone looking over your shoulder from seeing your password not a hash as in MD5.

about the hash - very interresting - however doesn't that study require you to have a string that gives a certain hash to be able to recreate a string of your own with the same hash? - i.e. You recreate the hash-value with another string and not get the content of the original string?

and u accepted... lol, ur asking to be hacked whatever
i never accept msn invites from ppl i have no clue.... if the want me on msn... they contact me first whit other means and that guy added me too 2 days ago... insta bloecked...

Why should i be asking to be hacked because i accepted an invite? Was I supposed to know then that accepting an invite on msn leads to being hacked? Sorry, just in my nature to be a trusting person.

besides the point, I didn't get ' hacked ' as I don't store any passwords in emails or on my computer. If they want to take over my msn account they can go ahead, most work i'll have to do is re-add my contact list to a new account.

[Elkie]

I just got pmed by gimmly on irc with him saying this

" You fucking prick i just got banned from requiel because of whats happened to your acount "

Hmm good choice by goa why isit all sudden im getting flamed to bits by gimmly well done Req!

 

[Flimgoblin]

well if he stole yer account, what's a little flaming going to be?

Glad he got caught.

 

[Corran]

umm, I imagine it was just a "you have been banned for hacking accounts" and given this rather public thread he put 2 and 2 together...?
(or rather given it was him he thought "doh" )

Iirc, he was previous told by GoA that he is not allowed to play the game in any form any more (didnt they ban his credit card or something?) and so by making it known he was playing (here and irc) so they just found out his account and got rid of it? Afteral they had his IP address from IRC

Edit: less editing Flim!

sorry

report him to a channel mod or an ircop - assuming pming threats over IRC is a bad thing - see if he can get himself banned from quakenet as well as FH and DAOC

Good to hear the balls rolling - hope they can help getting your account back (and any items he traded) Today is starting to be a good day with that wanker gone.

I registered explicitly after a friend of mine linked me to this thread, just to say thank you.

Never have I laughed so long, or so much at such retardedness. I didn't think anyone could be more stupid than the guys in Jolt's Delta Force forum, but you all really take the cake.

Please, ignore me and keep helping Elkie with your insightful suggestions as every word is gold.

[evzy]

Agree with Pirkel - get the numpty off the boards - he isnt even man enough to admit what he has come on here to try n act teh cool about.. maybe that would involve learning to spell too many words !

 

[Raven]

so at the end of the day elkie will get his stuff back with help from goa and us the community (in game help etc) and some wanker scammer gets his accounts banned, quality

 

[Flimgoblin]

Sorry to sound like a total mong but on what terms was he banned?

 

[Morchaoron]

Sorry to sound like a total mong but on what terms was he banned?

gimmly clone ofc

 

[Corran]

He be banned because he joined for the sole reason of flamming etc, also maybe because he sounds like a wanker as well so no reason to leave him with access
