GREAT news for paysite owners regarding password trading channels
 

Efnet, one of the , if not the biggest IRC server network... have closed down #xxxpassworld and kline(ban) anyone who attempts to join it + all other password trading channels

those channels were massive!

:thumbsup


FYI: i was only in there to umm..... grab.... my uhhh.. notebook... that's it... i left something in the channel and went to go get it back... :2 cents:

that explains the decrease in activity in my pw protection statistics. i thought something was broke, i'd normally snag about 15 an hour now its down to about 6-8 an hour.

wierd.

awesome news we would do a lot better as an industry if we cracked down on this shit

Good news.

dude those channels were at the heart of password trading


the infamouse Zima bot is the craziest password trading bot ever. They give their surfers wordlists and links to password crackers and teach them how to bruteforce sites

why do they do this?

because the way zima bot works.. is that you crack your own password to site A but you want a pass to site B but you can't seem to crack it... you hit up the bot and give it a password to site A... you then get 1 credit to request a pass to any site you choose..

even sites with amazing password protection like karups have tons of their passes floating around on those channels, cause their crackers are the best around..

but now that they are down, they won't be able to get word to majority of their people on where they are relocating, (cause majority of surfers don';t know about their website, and only their irc channel)

so password trading should be down for a long time now.. till they group up on a different irc server and get the word out (which will take at least a good 4+ months)


great news :thumbsup

thats good news!

good info. thanks man. i was trying for the life of me to figure what would cause that drop in bf's and the amount of intruders that we'd ban once they did get in and establish the subnet threshold.

thanks. much appreciated. good info.

You're welcome :thumbsup

I've sent karups a bunch of passwords that were going around there, if i see any of your sites i'll send them your way

also... the MOST commonly traded passwords are the Topbucks sites :2 cents:

Great news indeed! :)

Lets hope they keep an eye open for new channels, I wonder what made them do this tho

ASP was pretty big too (alt.sex.passwords). I wonder if they are still around? They had a searchable bot database too.... lol

Dalnet made the move to ban those channels a while back...looks like Efnet is following in their shoes.

I yeah, great news for everyone :thumbsup

great news! I knew today was gonna be a good day!

Zima is still working and this channel is still active on undernet. And xxxpassworld was no only pass trading channel, there's masterxxxpasswords, freexxxpasses, xxxpasswords and many other channels - just take a look at the channel list, there're about 20 pass trading channels! And what about big famous forums, like lawinanet.com?

these dudes will never die, they'll simply resurface somewhere else

i shut down dalnets password trading channels about a year ago, thats where xxxpassworld was. admins were nice enough to close it down on dalnet.

Hints of how you got into the porn biz sonofsam?


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

actually i just joined xxxpassworld it has 615 people in it. with bots feeding passes

It's better then going your route, which is scamming people, perfection jeff.

Good to hear. Those fuxors on IRC are hardcore.

they were a massive pw trading orginization they had a forum up too those fuckers the site is down though now..

That is awesome news.
