When the guy was shelling out $60 for a remote server in the US, which
he said was through a paypal and a fake physical ID, 200GB throughput
/ month running full tilt for DDoSes (user names "evil" and "chaos")
-- I don't know. I felt sorry for the guy since he had only 2
classes before finishing uni, which I made clear to him. So long as
he cleaned up.
He's a practiced social engineer and a pretty good liar. I don't
know if I gave him enough to think about by describing his activity
and one of the spybot viruses in detail back to him. Pretty cocky to
store it on our ADSL account.
*sigh* I hope he cleans up, and I fear how he will be taken in the
workplace in Perth/Freo since IT guys don't seem as common for a city
like this. I don't see him as an administrator that would treat
sensitive information as sensitive.
I still have logs, but not sure how much is required, desired, or
bothered with to deal with a guy like this, esp. as a non-Aussie
citizen. The curious thing is that he's involved with a ring of
other Turkish DDoS individuals. I'm not sure how many locals he has
met that also participate in the same activity.
