I travelled for 2hrs & knocked on his door with the intention of giving the twat a kicking he would never forget! Fortunately for him only his wife and daughter were home.....& I got my ecu back..proper fucking idiot.

Simon was very lucky that day...very very lucky...Think I missed him by an hour

You still seem to be labelling simon as the hacker without ANY proof at all?

are you sure its not you that is being deliberately obtuse/stupid here mike?

 

Chip,
There are only two alternatives as I see it:
1. Simon is the PF hacker.
2. Someone hates Simon enough to attempt to convince people by the actions carried out by the hacker, that Simon is responsible.

The reason I don't believe it to be the latter is that actions have been taken against certain people where only Simon and a few others are aware of the fall-out between these people.

As much as I know that even you are capable of doing it technically, the people that have been targeted wouldn't fit your profile / nature. However, given your friendship with Simon, it certainly would not suprise me to learn that you passed on the information of how to hack the board on to him - if he needed that information . I do not believe it is you though.

All the evidence points one way and one way only. As you know I am a very logical person and if you were able to offer an explanation that fitted all the circumstantial evidence and pointed in a different direction, then I would quite happily investigate it further. Simply saying you don't believe it to be him, when everything fits doesn't make sense to me. If you could provide some alternative reasoning, then that would help me see where you're coming from .

 

...mike unfortunately chip likes to think that he is getting a reaction..dont fall for it..a man with a head his size must have a brain that knows the truth,i fear i went to far on this user i do apologise.

 

Mike.

Ive not ever discussed with Simon or anyone else the way to hack PHP forums, you are correct thats its something that I have a reasonable understanding of, as a result of the fact im a PHP forum admin, and am a professional software engineer / programmer, including having done some security work on websites, but for the record, I dont actually know the exploit that is being used currently, as its not something I have looked into recently myself anyway.
When I did so before, it was because i was setting up a PHP forum at the time, and wanted to be sure I had plugged all the known security holes at that point in time, in doing so I (and my friend who I had been getting info off as he bothers to keep up to date with such things) thought I would check passionford for the same "holes" as I didnt want someone else to come along and do so malicously in the future (if holes are there, its inevitable they WILL be found), so I thought it better that a "friendly hacker" found the faults and highlighted them, than someone doing the sort of stuff that has happened recently.
Thats was my ONLY motivation for doing so, to increase the security of the forum, discussing its flaws with someone else (simon or anyone else) would be achieving exactly the opposite ofthat aim, so it should be very easy to see why I would keep those "trade secrets" to myself given my demonstated concern for PF security.

With regards to who the hacker is, I agree with you that it seems likely it is Simon, but I dont agree with you that there is enough circumstantial evidence to act on, Im sure we have all been wrong about various things that we think are likely at points in our life.

With regards to the comment about "given your friendship with Simon"
I suspect you are somewhat misguided about that one, I dont really have a friendship with Simon TBH, Ive only ever met him a couple of times, have never really spoken to him on the phone at any great length, my only real interaction with him has just been purely on this forum, and even then Ive not really spoken to him a great deal, so I consider him more an an aquaintance than a friend really anyway, I consider you a friend more than I consider Simon to be one for example as I have spent a lot more time chatting to you than I ever have to Simon.


Im sure IB already know what they need to do in order to prevent the hacking from continuing, but if they wish me to attempt to teach my grandma to suck eggs they are welcome to PM me for advice on what actions they should take with regards to securing the site.

 

PMSL....@ freindly hacker...you was changing usernames and my replies a bit like this new hacker has

..incidentally the current hacker deleted one persons pm's who had recently had a to do!...Make of that what you will....FFS its easier to convict a man of murder who wasnt even in the country at the time

 

I didnt change anyone's usernames Phil, you are mistaken.

 

Chip,
Even my resto threads on my Escort and Sierra were deleted over the weekend . If Simon wasn't the hacker and after me publically posting my views on believing Simon to be the hacker, if it had been someone else wanting us to believe it was Simon, then they would have seen it was definitely job done - so no need to delete these over the weekend.

However, given my belief that its IS Simon, again this all adds to the circumstantial evidence, as it seems Simon is being vindictive again in some form of retaliation against his banning, which he feels I am solely responsible for .

 

Maybe there is someone else other than Simon who dislikes you Mike?

Wether you believe you have given them reason to do so or not.

Just cause Simon is the only person you can think of with a grudge against you specifically, doesnt mean its him.

and going back to the possibiity of someone trying to "frame" simon, if going down that path, further angering you would be fuel to their fire.

 

Chip,
Given the other people that have been targeted, it is either Simon, or someone who has fallen out with the EXACT same people as Simon . There are just too many coincidences to be anyone else.

Obviously I am aware that there are going to lots of people who will dislike my views / attitude, as I personally feel I don't see eye to eye to with several on this board. However, I cannot think of one that I have fallen out with that could or would (be bothered) to do the things that have been done and if I had been the only one to be targeted, then I would except your explanation as being feasible.

The fact that several others have also been targeted - all of whom have fallen out with the same person and all of whom are publically vocal about their dislike for Simon (with one exception, whom it wasn't publically known about their fall-out - yet he was still targeted), then it makes it unlikely to be anyone else.

Even though I do not see eye to eye with Simon and 100% believe he is the PF Hacker, I would still not have the vindictiveness or inclination to do what he has done (even now that he has deleted these threads).

 

Mike, I understand your reason for pointing the finger, I just dont think you are open to the possibility its someone trying to frame simon, which seems ironic given that you probably know a dozen people or more or would want to

 

Whoever the fucking hacker is, its a shame they deleted BOTH of Mike's restoration threads. that is just spoiling the enjoyment (what little there is left on here anyway) of other users

 

That doesn't make sense to target the people that are being targeted though - so your arguement has far more holes in it than mine . Mine at least holds water- yours leaks like a sieve .

To frame Simon would mean they would need to know EVERY single person Simon has fallen out with - even the one that isn't public knowledge .

 

Agreed, although if IB
A) have a site backup
B) can be bothered

Its only a ten minute job to retrieve it.


So if they are aware of the threads value, I cant understand why its not back already TBH!

 

Mike, ive not seen anyone targetted who Simon hasnt fallen out with at some point in the past quite publically.

 

...Chip shut up you idiot

Rest assured the place wont be hacked now Simon is back..atleast Admin has done something...not a cure but a fix.

 

I expect IB are more concerned with the fact that this site can be easily hacked

 

 

You wouldn't have, as it wasn't done publically. Simon just deleted a certain persons entire PMs and also deleted his password so he couldn't log on. I don't think there were many people that knew the circumstances of their falling out - I only knew as he went from being 100% supporter of Simon to then coming cap in hand to me and telling me that I was right all along .

 

Mike, you keep saying "Simon" instead of "the hacker" when surely the official admin line is that its not been proved its Simon or he wouldnt be back, so you shouldnt be continually harrassing him by saying it is again and again, as thats VERY clearly a breach of forum rules, must be at least a dozen times today alone that you have insulted him about that by now without it even being in banter or in good fun etc?

 

lol at Chip, the up-holder of the rules go play with yourself and releive the tension mate. You have breached so many rules on here by harrasing people its un-true. I myself am guilty of it. The Banchester scenario is one of them

 

Ive never been as thorough as Mike is being today, you neither.

Surely if the mods are going to live by the sword, they need to be prepared to die by it as well?

Just seems a bit hypocritical them banning others for breaking the rules, when Mike is doing it more than anyone else on the forum

 

Calling the banchester a cunt, telling him to fuck off, insulting his mail order bride etc etc are far worse than Mike calling Simon 'the hacker'.

Got to admit though Chip, all things considered, it does look like it is Simon who is the hacker.

 

He has a mail order bride?

I never knew that, I obviously missed the posts in question.

What country is she from? and how much did she cost? (I thought he was poor from that crappy escort of his, lol)

 

I cant remember who used to rip the piss out of him about it. I think it was Pon or Stav

 

Do you get a 16 day moneyback guarentee like when you buy from argos?

 

...chip if you honestly cant see the light re the hacking of this place via the more than 5 coincidences then i am afraid you is dumber than i gave you credit for! ..but as said i can see why admin let him back on,so we dont get hacked anymore,sometimes its better to side with evil rather than fight it

 

Phil,
Chip isn't as stupid as I look . He knows the score, but wants irrefutable proof before action is taken - which is totally unobtainable without going to the police.

 

Mike,

With respect as moderator: proof or STFU. !!

I deny ALL your accusations, you are more obsessed than Phillip.

Why didnt you or any of the admin make any attempt to talk to me about
your susspisions if you were so damn sure it was me ??

All water under the bridge now, for me

 

Mike,

LOL, Just re-read this whole thread again.

Whats this about a secret hater of mine that "know one knows about".

I assume you mean its that sulky c*nt Doug Stirling

That is common knowledge so have one of these ...

Doug has a reason for hating me but I assure you its not the one that he
is telling everyone. The fact is I found out something about him from a 3rd
party which I didnt beleive, and when I did the right thing as a friend and
told him he was being talked about, he went in a piss, threw his toys out
the pram and the rest is history.

I wont make it public as its only circumstantial... Oh wait...that means in
your book it must be 100% true.
