lets look at your website mister hallacy.
[root at everest root]# host www.poptix.net
www.poptix.net has address 24.72.12.135
hrm... 24/8... looks like a cablemodem to me, lets see
[root at everest root]# whois 24.72.12.135
[Querying whois.arin.net]
[whois.arin.net]
Cable Regina CABLER (NET-24-72-0-0-1)
24.72.0.0 - 24.72.143.255
Access Communications - Regina Customer Network CUST-REGINA-1
(NET-24-72-2-0-1) 24.72.2.0 -
24.72.49.255
my my, we have a cablemodem. And using it with no other claim
to any point in network administration, like say a blacklist which
blocks over 1 million spam e-mails per day, or the largest and most
complete RHSBL on the internet, or perhaps community/free web and
e-mail hosting for anti-spammers? Mister Hallacy, do you in fact
provide anything back to the community from whom you've consumed so
much?
But wait there's more! lets find out about that server...
it's stats can be seen here:
http://www.techmonkeys.org/phpSysInfo/
I hope he isn't running his website off the lexar jumpdrive :)
http://www.techmonkeys.org/
which is the same ip as poptix.net
[root at everest root]# host www.techmonkeys.org
www.techmonkeys.org has address 24.72.12.135
But enough about technology, lets talk about poptix himself. Mister
Hallacy or a kiddie associate, in response to my comment about #nanog
being script kiddies, contacted a script kiddie via phone to harass
him while impersonating a member of my staff, with the intent of having
my network attacked. He has repeatedly harassed me via telephone, and
his prank calls during DoS attacks(perhaps he was responsible for them?)
are well documented on this list.
http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2003-10/msg00719.html
Mister Hallacy is a felon, convicted of computer tampering in 2000. He
is serving 5 years probation.
http://3jane.ashpool.org/~poptix/MyStory.html Look to the last section.
and the rest of his actions documented here and above.
And in regards to your certifications... real certifications come from
Cisco and Novell, not a Cracker Jack box.
I firmly assert that Matthew Hallacy provides no signal to this list.
He does nothing but Denial of Service attack and harass it's members.
He impersonates members of the list to harass other members of this
list. THIS IS NOT A PLAYGROUND.
I have sent Sue Harris 3 private e-mails in the last 48 hours, to which
I have gotten no respone. I am now publically calling on Sue Harris to
remove Matthew and his gang of script kiddies from #nanog from this
list. Their behavior is deplorable. Their attitude is #damaging
to this list, and their antics off the list towards members of this list
are inexcusable and illegal.
For the last time, harassment and impersonation of the users of this
list, is not only ontopic, but the rapid knowledge and ability to deal
with this situation is integral to it's continued success.
