11:54 How to catch me | |
| Inspired by the history of "How do I catch a hacker". I got not so fast, but I want to share how to do. Well, how nice to catch criminals, knows only one who caught them. But ask those caught, what is it? And I'll tell you, and share your thoughts about this. If someone they seem self-evident, I'm just glad. This happened in 2002. I was still a student, he studied in the second year of the shipbuilding faculty. Even then quietly began to prepare for the Diploma, before sit - used to come out. His diploma work was a series of "Design a ship on the computer." And since, in AutoCAD is never not done, use the appropriate software. The University was then purchased a license for a profile product SeaSolution (it is based 3D-model of the ship's hull, the possibility of mat-nucleus there were just insane at the time). Software product using the license file was attached to the appropriate machines in the computational center, where I hung up after the pair until the evening. I'd add that it was really interesting - to simulate a ship with all the beams, bulkheads and machinery, a few months, the model has grown to 500 MB, had to beat it into pieces and then sochlenyat them back. The project was almost ready, when the terrible happened. One fine day, all copies of the EC said in SeaSolution'a % username%, my license is expired All the work arose. Then it turned out that the great men of the institute have not invented anything better than to buy time-limited license. Buy the full version, as I understood later, nobody was going, exactly how and to extend the current. The project was killed six months, almost daily lessons. Everything fell into cancer. Let me remind you, it was only the second course, we could start anew, to use other software, in general, the options were few. I was desperate. But I had a trump card up his sleeve - then a couple of months I have been interested crack-scene. Knowledge was a minimum, but I decided to try lomanut program. I would buy it still could not - the cost of a license in 3 kilobaksa was slightly higher than my scholarship, "Student" version does not fit - does not work export to IGES, without which nothing. Crack naturally nebylo. So I uploaded it to a stick and carried home. I try to open it more than a month, affected the lack of necessary knowledge. Paradox: in fact, the success of the event would guarantee me the diploma, as theme of "computer-aided design of ships" in the context in which it implemented the I did not rise until now no one in my institute, as I was just told the head. And the ill-fated software with expired license, was one of its links. All day to sit under SoftIce'om digging a 5-megabytes of assembler code. It was painted with a lot of paper with all sorts of addresses bias, and other HEX-crap. Friends, from this terrible headache and later I left the crack-community - for me it's too hard. But the software does all succumbed to - the code was tightly sewn up the serial number removed, and several checks. Climbed, though the new feature - now is not to disable a network connection, nothing worked. And another was to fly out sometimes. But the patient was more alive than dead. I was able to continue future work. Without hesitation, I just brought the retail version back to the EC. During the laboratory work was disconnected network and the people working at Loma program (not one I use it). All just thought that I had such "repair", that's not saying the program works, and I repaired, well, not well done it? To bring this stuff back to the institute was naiglupeyshim of the solutions. UFO came to me in a monthThen I was in correspondence with a caliper SeaTech (the developer of the program) for licenses. They have representation in what school I'm learning. Representatives of the company collaborated with the University, and could easily learn that some good student brought a broken version of theirs offspring. It just happened. To e-mail almost immediately came the following message: You've already lit up in various online hangouts. Calculate your current location is the closest thing the time Crosstab query to Google gave me giblets. UPD: Request now provides me with the giblets and Habr. I did not answer, maybe blow over. Began agonizing suspense, what will happen next. And the prospects were very bleak - for me to open a criminal case and expelled from the university. What it felt like words can not convey. Worse already could not be. However, it could. Less than a week, hell caliper sent me another letter, where no unnecessary comments was just given my home address up to the apartment. That way, the cell was closed, I thought, and crossed himself. Now there were not many options. Now waiting for me God only knew. Say it was scary - to say nothing. By the time summer came, the session safely give up and have a reason (what else) to dump out of town for a month or two. By the time of your home address began to be heard strange calls seeking to invite me to the phone. Judging from the listing, calls from Nizhny Novgorod, the devil poberi. I did not take the tube. To my luck, I had to leave and 1.5 months, I rested and grief do not know. This whole nightmare was slowly forgotten. But as soon as I get back I was told that he had repeatedly visited some people (two men in civilian clothes), they asked me. On the issue home, "but why?", Answered curtly: "We need to talk, he informed." But I was not aware of. Not like the employees of even less likely that the lads interested in me. A couple of weeks, I dared not appear at home. Time passed, summer came to an end, and hide forever was pointless. Everything comes to an end, I thought, he returned home and went to surrender, the prisoners did not shoot them? But first, made a last attempt to rehabilitate himself. Wrote as honestly as the letter in support SeaTech, about who I am and why I did it, explained the situation. And a miracle happened. Whether the mood among them was good, whether caught understands the caliper, but I got a letter in response to the question when I have a protection degree. I replied that even as much as 3 years, that I received the license file for that period on my home PC. I also said that more so I will not. That's because that's just a UFO flew and saved me. Yes, yes, it happens, I do not think that such a situation just resolved. Surprisingly, it precisely at this point, the story ends. No calls, no people no longer existed. I guess that I just wanted to intimidate, and home address can be obtained at the Institute. That it was not clear until the end. The school year began, I was nobody and not say a word about what happened. As if nothing had happened. A degree with honors, I still got it. I'm lucky, I managed it easy fright. Now, without a smile can not recall those adventures, but then, believe me, it was not time for jokes. A few rules: Rule 1. Do not break. Rule 2. Try not to keep the Internet open discussion of your hacking. Keep them from another nickname / e-mail at least. Rule 3. If you really break it, hide possible Rule 4. If it is clear that you have calculated, and there are prerequisites, better yet, maybe then it will be too late. UPD: Rule 5. If something broke, do not tell anyone (thanks XaocCPS) Look at the list. At the very beginning of this article, I noted that these things may seem self-evident. But pay attention to Rule 1 when you decide to punish the would-be programmer of some site. Just think - perhaps the result will be convictions, and ruined careers. Thank you for your attention. I sincerely hope that someone will make of my story conclusions. UPD moved to "Information security» | |
