can you do nasty stuff to someone with their email/ip?

just curious, no I don't need details of how to do it or anythign (unless you really wanna share) just wondering how viable it is. Mostly want to get back at some jackass who stole some pics of a mod off here and put them onto a porno site (they've since been taken down, but the owner of the site didn't find them himself, they were sent in to him)... the website owner/operator person has agreed to give the person in question any info on the submitter they want (at least from what he has), I'm wondering about ways to get back at him over it? No, not my nude pics (not a mod after all) but it was a big jerky thing to do

 

you can do legal things if you have their IP address so long as they don't have a means of masking or changing it......

 

yeah, you usually can do some sort of evil with an ip or email, if they didn't put any work into masking or hiding them....but since you had to ask if you could, i'm guessing you don't have that particular skill set?

 

The easiest thing to do ...

Go to every porn site you can find, and sign up for the porn mailing lists using that person's e-mail address.

Someone did that to me and, now that it's two years later, I STILL get spam like crazy.

 

I don't have the Skill set that Trotsky mentioned. BUT! Ever hear of the "I Love You" virus? It was spead via Email. It was effective, because it was set to have a "From:" line based on the persons own Safe list.

 

How do you do that?

 

id say either get the operator of the site to send him a virus disguised as a legit file
or spoof their email and send them the virus yourself

 

I am not interested in sending anyone a virus. I was just wondering how to be as anonymous as possible on line.

I use a dial up connection. I don’t trust dsl or cable yet.

I am sure the mod who was harmed is capable of defending him/her self.

 

I think you and the mod should just get over it. This is the internet. Don't put something online if you aren't prepared for others to see it. You're not going to make the situation any better by stooping to this person's level. It's also pretty foolish to post about your intentions of taking revenge on this person on a public forum. Especially if you know nothing about security or hacking yourself, which it appears that you don't, otherwise you wouldn't be asking such a question. You're setting yourself up to be attacked, and I wouldn't be surprised if you are.

 

or you could always pull an RIAA and supeona all their private information through the courts (well not you, the offended individual) and produce some form of legal action, it was originally placed on a public forum though, so that might hurt you.....

 

Turn the other cheek, whoever this guy is, he is a jerk and bad karma is coming his way. Remember, hippies believe in peace and love.

 

I probably shouldn't be saying this but i have the source code for a certain virus known as My Doom...

 

You can email then virii, or you could attack them over the internetwork with their IP, then later requiring more tech skills, the former requiring more social skills (getting them to open the virus). Some of these actions are illegal! Using their email addry will mailing lists will be effective until they get sick of it and close their email account.
