All I have to say is OMG Petronius reread the posts and get a grip. You are on attack with everyone and I have posted the link and the direct quote from microsoft on the Locator item she was talking about, I even pointed out the registry keys that this device uses.
Yet you ignore the evidence and information presented, leaves me baffled at the height of your ignorance.
This continued behaviour from you leaves me thinking one thing about you petronius (TROLL)
Contrary to his claims I don't think that he provided any link to what Lockit was "talking about."
His posts about a hole in the "Windows XP Locator Service" may appear impressive. It might even be impressive.
But it ain't what Lockit started the thread over. She started it over messenger services, not one operating system.
Let me add that Lockit complained of current problems; the Microsoft document is dated 2003.
Good fucking knowledge of computers; bad fucking knowledge of this thread.
Good fucking knowledge of security; bad fucking knowledge of Lockit's original claim.
Lothlauren also claims I am "on attack with everyone." Since I've posted in support of some people and said nothing for or against others, his statement is hardly accurate. I suspect he made it because he 1) is emotionally incapable of understanding English; 2) is intellectually incapable of understanding English; 3) is consciously dishonest. I'll bet on the first, that he lets his emotions override his reality checking, because I don't think he's stupid and I don't think he's out to lie.
But the fact is that, having charged me with ignoring evidence, he ignored evidence when he made his claim of my behavior.
Moreover, I've disagreed with perhaps half a dozen people; Lockit has disagreed with tends of thousands.
I could understand Lothlauren's claim if the situation were reversed. If I claimed, sans evidence, that I knew more about bugs in a messenger service than the company's security department, it would be sort of reasomable for him to think "troll." But Lockit claims that. Perhaps only a troll could suggest that the FBI is more likely right about FBI priorities than Lockit; but if so, Lothlauren and I live in different universes with different zoos.
PS: The way to document a security problem isn't to wave your hands at the Microsoft web site and say you've documented it. It isn't to post abusive bumper stickers or cliches. It is to behave for messenger services the way Lothlauren behaved towards the onetime bug in the Windows XP Locator Service. Lothlauren was wrong about many issues; documenting the Locator bug was not one of them.
I find it quite amusing that people come on here and blow verifiable nonsense out of their ass. I find it even more amusing that when some who actually knows of what they speak the ass-blowers get their panties in a bunch.
Before you choose to pick apart the advice being provided by Lothlauren, you should would stop and really think about the fact that you have not the slightest clue as whom you are talking and what calibur of advice is being offered. Lothlauren has been in the computer industry for 25 yrs, has two full degrees in programming software (graduated 98% in both) security, networking, and software creation, and currently bills for no less then 165/hr for simple consultation fees...let alone what He charges to create systems or to do actual programming (He also holds a first year engineering and is going back for His aeronautical engineering degree soon). His clientbase is mostly large corporations, except Microsoft (He turned down their offers for contract on more then one occasion). I have NEVER seen Him give erroneous advise, nor claim to have knowledge He doesn't truly possess. Your use of particular references and such may be impressive...but cut no real ice with Myself as I have heard so much "tech talk" since getting involved with Lothlauren that what you rattled off is the same as what I would rattle off in My sleep (and I carry no computer degrees).
As for not being smart about the original post and all that was claimed...it CAN happen...I have seen this sort of doggedness before in other situations. With the appropriate programs it is very easy to not only gain control and harrass one through their computer, but to access other addresses that computer visits (ie: friends also being harrassed) and given the fact that malicious code CAN be transferred various ways (not just email...there are alot of different ways to get your code in someone's tower) I wouldn't put it past the reality bounds to suggest this sort of thing to be possible.
Last thing...banks and all other secured sites such as those have a completely different protocol then regular sites...try hacking anything on a secured site (https) and you will run into guys like Lothlauren who are qualified to not only stop you but find your computer and track you down.
I will enjoy your petty attempts to discredit My post along with all the other ones that didn't kiss your ass in agreeance...and NO...this is not an emotional response...it is a realistic one.
Good Luck Lockit...I have seen a few good friends have almost identical situations, and it is always dehabiliatating. Too bad others would rather cut down your warning then taking it in the considerate spirit that it was given. Take care and hope you get him dealt with soon. Anti-stalking laws may be out there but almost impossible to enforce until actual violence takes place. Be safe.
