Article about me. Well, one-third about me.
I'm a bad bad boy. Aw, oh well. Ain't I a stinker? :P
No but seriously, this "hack" occurred through Lynx web browser access.
Back then, there was this bug, in Lynx, that looked like this:
LYNXDOWNLOAD://Method=-1/File=touch%20UGLY_BUG/SugFile=test
Discovered by Michael Zalewski I guess (I mention him in this song parody: https://soundcloud.com/jjstyles1000/hack-everyone-jj-styles-black-no-1-type-o-negative-parodyspoof) BUT! I didn't even need that. I used the default spawn shell command, which is, a bang, or rather, ! Yup. If jhorn1 (wonder if it's the same jhorn1 on here?) would have just shut that shit off, he could have avoided a LOT of trouble. On the bright side, I got him to install OpenBSD for the City. Also, he got a good article out of it ;)
Why would I admit to such a crime? statute of limitations? I guess? Plus, no state lines were crossed, so, no federal crime was committed.
