I'm a Convicted Hacker and Ex Prisoner - Ask Me Anything

What was your favorite exploit you found? the exploit that was hardest to find? and the exploit your most proud of? oh and your favorite company to work for as a whitehat?

Fav. exploit I found was being able to read anyone's Inbox on Facebook. Another fav. was being able to invite any user to an event on Facebook. I literally had events with over 10 million people invited. That may seem useless to most, but shady marketers would use these types of exploits to make thousands of pounds.

My proudest exploit was again using Facebook. I was able to send notifications from any application to any user. So I could fool you into thinking you've just got some super duper gift from Candy Crush. When you click it I'm then able to post spam on your wall from Candy Crush, and on all your friends walls. I used Candy Crush as an example. Back when I done this Candy Crush wasn't even developed.

I was paid well from Facebook As a result Facebook is my favourite company to work with.

Edit: Just to add I can only really discuss whats known and whats legal.

Edit: I'm not proud of what I done. I'm honest though.

I enjoy trolling sometimes. I blame 4chan for that. These days though, I'd say a 3. Pre 2011, easily a 10.

Everyone who is remanded in custody, or sentenced at court, starts life in a high security prison. Usually a B Cat prison, but if you're sentenced at the Old Bailey sadly you end up at Belmarsh (even if your crime is petty). If you're remanded, you remain at the high security prison until sentenced. Once sentenced you come back to the high security prison and within a few weeks your risk is assessed. This risk assessment is based on your crime, your likelihood of planned or unplanned escape, your behaviour etc.

Once your risk assessed you either remain where you are, or you get "shipped out" to a lower security prison. I was classified as a low security prisoner which meant I could go straight to an open jail. The problem is the prison I was at - HMP Wandsworth - didn't ship out to D Cat prisons (D Cat prisons are open prisons). So I had to go to a C Cat prison for a few months and be shipped to a D Cat from there.

There's 4 types of prison classifications A, B, C and D. A being the highest security.

Because I was in a B Cat, which is still high security, it meant I was amongst murderers and serious criminals. My 2nd cell mate was in for murder, although he was one of the most down to earth guys I've met. Always helped me out with smokes and food.

I was on the same wing as Kweku Adoboli, he was a very genuine guy. I enjoyed many good conversations with him. Very clever guy.

Guessing these have both been patched now.

Can you tell us how you did both of them or is that secret/privilieged information?

If it's been patched already it should be fine?

What board are you? Im an /r9k/ guy who is trying to quit.

The guy who was in for murder, why did he do it and how long did he get? how did he feel about being in prison for a (presumably) long time?

and sorry for mocking you earlier for being tracked via IP address. Didnt realize the media were lying.

did you have a television?

I'll reply to this later bud when I have more time. It'll be a long response

Yes. Although I rarely watched it unless to F1, snooker or darts was on.

Awesome.

What channels did you get? Just like the standard 4 anaolgues or freeview or sky?

Also, Favourite F1 driver/team/What do you think of the weird ass looking noses on the new F1 cars?

Favourite snooker player?

He got 9 years for manslaughter, but they upped it to murder. I left before he was sentenced for murder. He killed his neighbour. From what he told me, and from reading his paperwork, his neighbour came round to his house with a weapon and my cell mate picked up a weapon and beat him to death with it. He was depressed a lot, but he coped. Once you're in there you tend to accept it and get on with the time. I didn't meet anyone who it affected badly. Except, there was one foreign national who hung himself the first day he arrived.

I'm not sure if he's alive or not though, because I write him a letter and it bounced back to my address saying unknown prisoner, even though I'd written to him several times before. His wife killed herself when he was sentenced that's why he was depressed a lot.



Yes. Although I rarely watched it unless to F1, snooker or darts was on.

Thats messed up, how on earth is that murder? This country is messed up.

I would advise studying the law surrounding to what extent it is defensible to have a weapon lying around and to grab it in the instance of someone breaking in, never mind someone coming round and knocking on your door.

Please enlighten me miss know it all. If a dude comes to your house and threatens you with a weapon and you take him out, how is that murder?

Someone can't read...

Cant answer the question......
Tries to divert attention from this with meaningless statement....
She actually thinks this is a good argument......

If you think that saying 'someone can't read' is an attempt at an argument then you have worse problems than not being able to read. I told you to look into it. I did not say I was going to sit here and go over the subtleties (and they are subtleties) of it with you. By all means continue with 'herp derp I can't imagine how the law might differ to the only oversimplified scenario I have in my head so I'm going to say it's ridiculous and that the country is going to the dogs'.

More diversionary waffle....
Still no sign of her claimed legal knowledge.....

If you think failing to actually read someone's posts and coming out with this kind of bull**** in response is a sign of winning an argument, I can tell you that you've been hanging around the wrong parts of this forum.
