=head1 Assholes We weren't expecting to find an asshole this early, but here's part of the IRC log from #dn42: j> spam somerandomnick> j: I'd suggest not spamming here ;-) somerandomnick> Feel free to spam #anonet :-) j> sorry, died for a bit j> I'm working on updating my spamming script to target here j> I just need to add a cupple lines j> Why not? somerandomnick> because dn42 doesn't like spam j> What will they do about it? somerandomnick> They will complain to me :-) j> What keeps me from spamming them directly, not through here? somerandomnick> j: That's between you and them. somerandomnick> but if you spam them through here, they will complain to me j> Yes but I need you for telnet j> Otherwise this won't work somerandomnick> j: then I suggest staying with #anonet somerandomnick> j: You can spam #anonet as much as you want. I don't mind. j> fine, you spoil all my fun. Later j> I"ll get a good few spams in here later on Ivo> j, why? j> but not to many somerandomnick> j: LOL, sorry ;-) j> well, if I succeed in annoying two networks so they part from each other, I've succeeded. Ivo> uh? somerandomnick> LOL Ivo> what two networks? somerandomnick> j: I don't think we're about to part from each other. j> I haven't been spamming here yet somerandomnick> but if I get complaints from dn42 about you, I think anonet will have to part from you j> how? lex> j: Exactly why are you even interested in spamming? It is not considered a gracious activity in the slightest j> I just do it to annoy the shit out of everyone. lex> j: And you take some kind of crazy pleasure from annoying other people? Ivo> j, I really don't understand why you would do that j> It's just base64-encoded /dev/urandom, but it'll fill up screens, irc logs, and make it hard to have areal conversation with that going on. somerandomnick> j: What's wrong? somerandomnick> You come to anonet to test your spam script, I say no problem, somerandomnick> and offer to help. somerandomnick> I didn't even hear 1 "thank you" and never asked for one either. j> well j> You can't stop me even if you wanted to somerandomnick> If your goal is to have a contest, I'm willing to take your challenge. j> I'm just out to cause problems for anonet and be an asshole. Later somerandomnick> Sorry, guys, for the spam ;-) somerandomnick> alice: Sorry about unlinking your server. I shut down the relay until we can fix the spam problem. j> did it work? somerandomnick> yes somerandomnick> Now, dn42 will depeer us. somerandomnick> ;-P j> good somerandomnick> I think you need to try a bit harder ;-) j> full scale? somerandomnick> still not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve somerandomnick> sure, why not? j> mission goals to annoy people. somerandomnick> If that's your only goal, you aren't doing too bad ;-) somerandomnick> but I think you can guess my goal ;-) j> what is your goal somerandomnick> You can't guess it? j> to stop me, maybe. somerandomnick> well somerandomnick> What would your goal be, if you were in my place and I were in your place? j> I would try to limit the damage one spammer could do. somerandomnick> good guess :-) Ivo> j, I don't understand why you do this Ivo> you want to break some darknets apart? j> yeah! Ivo> which ones? j> I don't know. somerandomnick> LOL Ivo> so, what do you know about darknets? j> nothing. somerandomnick> um Ivo> ok, so why do this? Ivo> why not annoy some other people? Ivo> Im sure you can easily annoy more people on a large irc network j> This is easier. I just telnet to anortr.ucis.nl 8803 and spam. somerandomnick> and how does it help you? j> It doesn't. Ivo> so, what's so much fun ? Ivo> btw, do I know you? j> no Ivo> oh cool Ivo> so how did you find out about anonet? j> what's anonet? j> I just telnet here and start Ivo> how did you find out about this place? j> I found it while searching for telnet servers somewhere. somerandomnick> ;-) Ivo> oh right Ivo> sounds like fun Ivo> so, you were looking for telnet chat servers to send spam ? j> yes j> Is there another one that's more popular? Ivo> damn. somerandomnick> Nobody really uses telnet anymore for chat ;-) somerandomnick> hehe somerandomnick> but if you don't mind writing to IRC, you can use any IRC server ;-) j> irc servers can ban you though. somerandomnick> right somerandomnick> It's possible to ban here too, but it's a bit harder ;-) somerandomnick> You need to get everyone mad at you before it's really possible to ban you here. somerandomnick> but if you succeed, it's equally hard to unban you later Ivo> do you feel good now? Ivo> oh yes, definitely Ivo> oh come on... Ivo> j, I can easily ban you somerandomnick> Ivo: That's a technical accident. Ivo> don't care. j> Youd' have to ban whole of tor. Ivo> :) somerandomnick> How easy or hard it is to ban him isn't the point. Ivo> oh well, we have dns blacklists now somerandomnick> Most IRC networks ban tor, and anonet can also, if necessary. somerandomnick> UFO has full control over that, so even if I prefer to let you stay here, if you annoy UFO enough you're history, and there's nothing I can do about it. j> What, UFO can change the etlnet port? Ivo> :) Ivo> oh yes somerandomnick> He can block tor from the telnet port. j> shit. somerandomnick> He can shut it down completely. somerandomnick> ;-) somerandomnick> and me liking you won't help Ivo> j, where are you from ? j> That isn't important. Ivo> no it isn't Ivo> I'm just interested somerandomnick> j: If you succeed in annoying all ~20 of us on anonet, what does it add to your life? j> nothing. somerandomnick> then why do you want to waste your time on it? j> Because I can. somerandomnick> You enjoy getting banned? j> It's tor, not me. somerandomnick> You're part of tor. somerandomnick> and even in that, we don't have to ban tor completely j> shit. somerandomnick> You just create a little more work for us in spam countermeasures. somerandomnick> You're 1, and we're about 20. j> Pretty soon, you'll get tired of my spam and close anonet. somerandomnick> We can probably develop countermeasures faster than you can develop measures, right? j> right. somerandomnick> j: I won't get tired of your spam for the rest of my life. Ivo> so, do you do this all the time, j? somerandomnick> I love spam. j> yeah Ivo> hmm.. interesting hobby j> off to tweak my script. After this, UFO censored j by blocking access to IRC from IcannNet.
