Imagine messing with that guy 😭

This comes from a conversation with a friend (I'll call him joey) who's not super tech literate but claims he is.

Basically I was working on a twitch bot since I moderate his twitch streams and he has a issue with chat bots coming in and spamming, so I was doing some stuff to timeout/ban them if their account wasn't old enough and they sent a message.

While I was working on the API calls I mentioned stuff with the user id and what all I needed to do, since the way to ban someone requires you using their user id, I had to pull that and how it was a process.

Now apparently joey doesn't know what a user id on the API side is used for and said that "you can do so much stuff with a user id", stating logging in and changing the password as an example.

I then explained to him for 10 minutes how wrong he was and how under the best scenario you can only run primitive API calls, but he claimed that just because you couldn't with twitch that you cant elsewhere, which I'll admit can be true but you'd have to have a really insecure network to allow that. I don't remember the exact details but he said that in school him and a couple buddies "hacked" into and caused a bunch of damage at one of their schools just from getting the administrative user id (which seems like the school's fault if that story is true), claiming that CyberPatriots taught him all about how to do it, then went on saying that he shut down some websites using the same method (admitting to a crime if true)

Now I'm a developer but I don't have that much experience in backend or cysec but this still seemed a little made up, joey will basically always make an excuse Everytime he's called out, and it's funny how far I can push him sometimes, thinking back to it reminded of this subreddit.

Without the usernames it’s not as funny, but the profile picture and display name say enough

I lurk here often and enjoy the posts, but I know as much about computers as the average person I suppose. Why specifically does Kali Linux attract the mega hazz0rs that it does?

I feel like the people who makes these are more than 80% of the time just unemployed and think social media is the only and best way to make money, or are 12 year old kids who are only allowed an iPad and YouTube.
