[aprssig] SatReporter Hacked once Again

[Steve Dimse]

Andrew, grow up.

First of all, I'll bet there is not a single person on this SIG that is 'jelous' (or even 'jealous') of you. If there anyone, speak up now and prove me wrong!

Second, it is highly unlikely that whoever is hacking you is even a ham, much less on this sig. findU's servers are attacked hundreds of times a day. It is a fact of life in today's internet, and mature operators don't go around flinging blame on users. If you don't know how to deal with the modern internet you have no business putting a server on that internet. I'll give you a hint, the answer is not to complain to the ISP of origin. The odds are the computer at that IP is hacked, and someone controlling it remotely. They are probably using your server to attack others as we speak, do you want to be blamed for that? The only effective answer is to configure your server so it is not hackable. And there is NOTHING easier than dealing with an attack from a single IP.

Finally, a hit a second is hardly DoS. Each of my servers averages over 20 hits a second.

Oh, and I don't know if you really are 'friends with the federal police', maybe. But in my experience people who make threats based on their relationships with important people are usually pathetic losers with appropriately low self-esteem that try to raise their image with fake claims, yet only manage to make themselves look more pathetic. 

YMMV
