Hackers trying log-in to accounts here

[Samurai50]

I am seeing "forum spam" with some of those IP's.

So they are trying to hack accounts so they can spam forums with shit like "I get paid $50 an hour from home!".

Does anyone actually click on those links? My damn 65 year old computer illiterate mother knows better than to click on that crap...

freaks tried hacking my account 5 times today, failed, **** you stalker boy, whomever that may be.

I've gotten the same message and my password is so weak I don't know how they didn't get in.

Perhaps your account has been vaccinated from hacking.

Login attempts...

Per my email, someone is trying to hack into my account here... sounds like somebody is having a rather pathetic evening [emoji23] thanks for reminding me why I lost interest in this place to begin with!

This only happens to suspected terrorists.

Nobody is actually trying to get into your account. It's a chinese computer cyborg drone, not an actual poster.

Goddammit Tribar cut it out

How will TOR traffic thrive now?

 

[JLeigh34]

Ah. I wondered why the IP was from Germany. I figured they were masking it or something.

Entirely too many people confuse cracking with hacking.

And this is neither.

A brute force attack on a password is not cracking? Wat? Am I misinterpreting something here?

 

[Crystallas]

Yep. In this case, a brute force is not possible.

 

[xer0h0ur]

Since it limits the login attempts? Still is an attempted brute force attack though.

Key word: attempted.

Somewhere some kid tried to log into their parents paypal account to buy some game off steam. They failed. I don't consider that cracking. Maybe I'm just old school, but I consider cracking as a bypass of a mandatory security check into either a closed binary, computer that is other than their own, or a network/level they do not have access to. A brute force attack is just a brute force. Not really bypassing anything. In order to crack the system, the user would need to bypass the brute force protection, then I would say it is fair to call them a cracker at that point. Failed penetration can be done by anyone regardless of skill level, rendering the term meaningless, therefore maybe you see why I'm specifying why I don't consider this cracking. Scripting, yes.

Yeah I just use the common definition of cracking and hacking. Pretty sure most hackers consider cracking beneath them. Like something to pawn off on the peons.
