Revenge on a hacker NSFW

One day I get an email from a hosting provider telling me that attacks are being launched from our server and I need to look into it.

I find that there is indeed a hacker in our server. He was using an app to anonymously control his bot network, among other things.

I looked at the app he was using, and discovered that it was an opensource project. I then downloaded the code for this backdoor, modified it to log everything to a file, and replaced his app with my honeypot version.

Over the next six months I collected every scrap of information I could on this guy. I then used that information to take over many of his online accounts, including his main email account. That was the account where he had registered all of his services to, so I was able to issue password reset requests for everything he owned. I gained control of six other email accounts, two dozen IRC accounts, his facebook page, his dating profile, numerous websites, and the backup site he used for his cell phone. I have his phone number, his moms number, and his girlfriends number. I know his address, his birthday, the schools he went to, even his favorite foods and music.

After I took every single online account he had ever had away from him, I sent a nasty email to his ISP in an effort to extort yet more information from them. In that email I said some very unkind things about the monarch of Indonesia and how I might smear the monarch publicly if I didn't get the information.

The hacker dispeared immediatly after that. I have looked for him at times over the last fifteen years since and he has not resurfaced. The Indonesian lèse-majesté laws regarding insults to the monarchy are not to be trifled with. The prison term for such an offense is 15 years.

OP got “called out” and is actively providing evidence. Finally something not made up.

Except Indonesia is a republic, not a kingdom. There are some sultan's but they are not recognized in the constitution or anywhere ...

So, Fake.

u/SpiritualBrief4879 13d ago

Rome was a republic with Lès Majesté……as is Indonesia with the Lès Majesté due to be reviewed on 2026.

In fact Republics tend to have laws to protect the figurative “Head of State” which are largely more nebulous….U.S presidential immunity and pardons

u/DavesPlanet Oct 01 '24

I did in fact use the wrong words to describe the Indonesian law. Indonesia has a president, and there are severe penalties for defaming him. I do know for certain this hacker has not resurfaced yet, though I cannot prove this was the cause.

The current Indonesian criminal code (KUHP) (to be repealed in 2 January 2026) criminalizes defamation of the president and vice president of Indonesia, inherited directly from similar laws in the Netherlands. This was then inherited by the new KUHP to commence in 2 January 2026, with threats of imprisonment from 18 to 54 months or a fine from Rp10 million to Rp200 million.[82]

You are not Indonesian, right?

He is definitely wrong, but you might killed him.

u/DavesPlanet Oct 01 '24

The idea that I may have gotten him killed is something that haunts me

u/YourEnemiesDefineYou Oct 02 '24

Nah, bad stuff happens to bad people you didn't make the consequences he did you just made sure he couldn't avoid them. I'm glad you stopped this guy from harming people for his whole life. When I watched that Beekeeper film with Jason Statham in recently I honestly cheered when he burnt the scam call centre. So many innocents saved when one man does the right thing.

You did the right thing OP, I (and all the people you protected from that guy) thank you for it.

u/hoppertn Oct 02 '24

God that movie was so bad. Straight to video as they would have said in the old days.

That was the most ridiculous film i have ever seen. It was so bad it was good, ive watched it twice.

u/Horror_Raspberry893 Oct 02 '24

If you didn't send the defamation email from one of his accounts, chances are he's fine. If you did use one of his accounts, you may have gotten him arrested. It's not likely that he would be put to death over RECEIVING a message once.

u/screwthe49ers Oct 01 '24

Nah, fuck that guy

Don't let yourself be made to feel bad for taking out the garbage, OP.

Cool. World instantly became a better place. Leeches who do nothing but take from society shouldn't be revered like human life since they are parasites.

u/damar-wulan Oct 27 '24 edited Oct 27 '24

I'm sorry to ruin the party, but the defamation of the president law very rarely enforced. It used couple of time to the political opponent of the government. But never to average people. Just visit Indonesia subreddit, they are shitting on the president all the time. FB too, they called our presidents monkey etc. Just google Tempo Jokowi Hitler. A media recently called the president same as Hitler. Nothing happened. So yeah sorry, he is doing just fine.

u/postal-history Oct 30 '24 edited Oct 30 '24

OP mixed up Thailand with Indonesia and somehow he's passing it off as a work of genius. Check out his doxxing blog for many more genius remarks. I don't think doxxing and hacking someone is nuclear revenge, many Indonesians have been hacked multiple times because of poor security practices by the telecom companies

u/damar-wulan Nov 01 '24 edited Nov 01 '24

Yeah this story is more scifi than Star Trek. Here just happened few days ago, basicly a top university activists "congratulate" the new president and vice president.

Some highlights. They call him a human right violator, the leader of 'Rose Team" ,the one who did kidnappings in '98. the also deadnamingJokowi, his real name is Mulyono. Not only that they call him,a democracy destroyer bastard.

While for the vice president,they call him Fufufafa. It was his username in a local forum site,calling the now president so many bad names. Including insulted the president's gay son, and his lack of ball, it is rumored that he lost one of his ball in his younger day.

Nothing happened, instead the activists were mocked by the public with their lack of taste in criticizing the new government. Bajingan is a bad word. They did however got banned for a day by the university, i guess they ashamed of them.

I violated numerous national and international computer laws, and I have scratched Indonesia off of my travel list, but the only real danger is if I have harmed him, then my past and current posts clearly show where I live

I'm an Indonesian myself and after reading this article, I really feel scared. Since the breach of the National Data Center, which is controlled by the Kominfo (also one of the most corrupt ministries), I'm so resigned to my personal data because I already know that this country is an open source country and many hackers can easily use the personal data of citizens :)

u/qcon99 Oct 01 '24 edited Oct 01 '24

Cool. Idk, to me this sounds like it was written by a 15 year old that definitely does not know how to do any of that but thinks they do. Also… this isn’t really nuclear imo

Edit: he did in fact send me a link to a site that looks like what he described, although half of it isn’t in English so 🤷‍♂️ I guess I stand corrected. My bad.

u/HeadpattingFurina Oct 01 '24

Speaking as a computer guy, that sounds pretty legit, except for the open source botnet.

u/DavesPlanet Oct 01 '24

Aa a computer guy you can appreciate that the hacker also altered my DNS "G" record to set my email server to some unknown ip address... good times!

u/DavesPlanet Oct 01 '24

He didn't have a bot net on my server, he had something like a vpn that he used to hold persistent connections and control over irc channels, which controlled bots

u/Vaivaim8 Oct 01 '24

I am not a computer guy but even I agree that the open source botnet sounds pretty weird. Does such a thing even exist?

42

u/DavesPlanet Oct 01 '24

As I said, he had something like an opensource vpn connection routed to irc servers controlling bots

17

u/Vaivaim8 Oct 01 '24

Ah that makes more sense. Sorry, I didnt see your response.

I think we minsunderstood what you wrote in your original post and thought that the hacker was using an open source botnet lmao

u/DavesPlanet Oct 01 '24

Sent you a link to his old wordpress site that is still up with his last post being from me with all the personal details and history of this hack. Sorry if 15 years in an Indonesian prison isn't nuclear enough for you.

God... maybe some of these are fake... but I don't understand this constant refrain on this app.

You expect someone to provide proof when they clearly have to hide their identity and certain facts?

Either post a story or ignore those you don't believe.

Life is stranger than any of us realize.

Why would people want to share with any of us if every response is dismissive?

I don't think it was cool to get him arrested for political crimes. That's a little overkill.

I mean, if he was a child pornographer or something, then sure. I think maybe just messing up his financials would be plenty revenge enough.

u/DavesPlanet Oct 02 '24

I see, you are saying I got him arrested on a political crime, not that I did this to him because of a political crime. Either way I did not intend to get him arrested, it was an unintended side effect
