THis is How Attrition was Hacked





One fine morning Some “James Attrition” reached my inbox with some pastebin link, as usual the link was about plagiarism in the book and it was also about cautioning Indian hackers against me. Being a hacker he was caring for his community and warning them against me, anyways it dosent make any difference, but no issues.. It just hurts.

I have 5011 friends in my “Cattechie” FB account, and 3500 on my public profile, another 1500 in my “Catz” group. I have maximum enemies in friends list, if given a chance they might even cut me in to hundred peaces and erase my even remote existence. But few of them are my real fans, my kids, brothers and real friends too. With them I feel life is really blessed.

When this James started attacking me, some of my fans and friends went on abusing him, he also took them for ride by calling them Cat fake and so on, I have seen one common practice here, if someone strongly stands by me then people call that profile is my fake, and even if my fake comes and abuse me (though I don’t have) they will become fan of that abuser. Abusing me, being Cat critic and Cat enemy is fashion here, and that has become way of my life, I generally don’t visit others walls or groups, I have limited myself to my own group and wall. During these James Attrition days my fan Dnyaneshwar sent me message:

Hi di......i just wanna to tell u something that is......

if u have 3 fake FB accounts and id of victims u can hack the victims ac easily.... so think about responding ur friend request....and make ur ac secure.....i think u r well known about it...

Your biggest fan dnyaneshwar

my pleasure ...to guiding u di...

My eyes were wide open to his message, I was making plans of hack, and obviously none other than James Attrition .. But as you all know my condition ….hacking ..vacking mai kya janu re? a biggest noob in hackers community :P

I answered his message by asking him method of doing it..

He promptly replied saying

- First make three facebook accounts and add your slave (he must accept)

- then go to this fallowing link

http://www.facebook.com/recover.php/

There put the slave's email and fill the captcha then it will ask you to enter a new email where you put your email (not the one used on an existing account but a new one)

- it will then ask you the security question ( if you know it very well then just put it and the account is hacked )
But if you do not know the answer just keep entering random words until the limit is exceeded

- Once the limit is exceeded it will ask you to choose three trusted friends

There you put the three accounts you made and added your slave

- It will then send all three accounts the security code

And you go login all three and get the security code and just put it

- Hacked , enjoy now good night

This is how he explained me how to hack account, I was very much excited and went to Attrition’s account to see in log in mail and got very much upset because that was not visible. If you see Gaurav Singh’s wall, he made a post on June 25the at 7.29pm

i*********s@r*********.com guess :P

After few seconds one of his friend, answered there with proper email address.

That’s how the mission Attrition started, we fallowed all those instructions one by one and got stuck when we were asked to select three friends to receive recovery code for that account..

Except one, the two other friends were not known to me much.. But as I said it was team effort.

Finally we chose three guys and started chasing them, one was not in friends list of anyone of us, but his Cell number was on his profile, we called him and requested saying please friend help me with the code that you received to recover my hacked account, he went out of his way gave us access to his e mail and face account, same way even other friend gave us access to only Gmail but not to Face Book account, we changed his FB account Password and any how got second code, and third one was known to us so without making much fuss and queries he gave us the code..

To gather these codes we spent 23 hours and it was instruction from face book to get those codes and enter in 24 hours, my blood pressure went low, everyone was nerves but at eleventh hour, we filled that form and provided them Alternet email, recovery codes and everything..

We received message, “log on to account after24 hours with new email and password, those 24 hours was real tension.

We thought suppose if this attrition logs in, the whole efforts in vain. Second tension, if we get caught then he might tighten the security options and then there won’t be any chance… (See how little provocations make you do crime and you happily violet all rules and reach your target)

Exactly after 24 hours, I logged in and got access to his mail, my defacement page was ready, the 24 hours long waiting periods I was just planning all stupid thing to express my pain, grief, sorrow and anger..

Oh, my god..Finally I was in his account..

First changed all security options, and removed his post and all that the content which was hurting me..

We all were screaming and hauling like mad people.. Monitored all his activities, I really lost faith in humanity and especially this community… his inbox was flooded with all shit, everyone was trying to build relation with him , all were curious to know who he is? But this smart fellow, answered saying mail me, and add more friends to create awareness against her. All top guns of community were on task against me..

Hummm! mean but ok…chalta hai

One thing he forgot to remove during all this drama, his log in IP logs, which made me, reach the exact person, I tagged that defaced page to them, and as I perfectly guessed, he was the only one to give very filthy comment by abusing FUCK U CAT…

I can understand his aggression, I can even understand his frustration, he was flopped and I gave another name there CAT SLAVE.. That must have really pissed him,

All I can say Sorry, friend my intention was not to hurt you, I just wanted to solace myself from the pain of humiliations and abuses. You may call me Drama Queen as you have mentioned this on twitter also.

that time they bee lined at James profile with screen shots, links, and so on and now they are running towards attrition.org… 

I really feel powerful or sometimes a Big ghost, that so many people rushing to bang and fatak..

30 long hours on twitter, only one name and many master to abuse, Cat techie, Naidehi NBC and that is none other than me..

I vaidehi Sachin aka Cat Techi, most loved and hated creature here..

God bless you all with lots of happiness

Keep abusing, keep exposing,

As long as you all keep chanting my name I am Happy for you all

Cell Phone Tracking Disadvantages


Cell phones have changed the way we look at communication. It is a convenience that has allowed us to keep in touch with others no matter where we are at the moment. Now with the addition of GPS, we have the ability to locate people. While it seems like a good idea in many situations, it can be abused. An ex-boyfriend, relative, or stranger may have malicious intentions. There is also the concern about identity theft. It can be dangerous even if you think it will not happen to you.
For the most part, we want to think that law enforcement and the government have our best interests when it comes to personal safety and security. The FCC requires cell phone providers to have records of their customer location information. In addition, current cell phone tracking laws give them too much leeway since a cell phone trace can be granted even without a warrant. Only general information needs to be provided to a judge or say that it is part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Does this mean that cell phone tracking used in this manner a violation of our right to privacy? It is a gray area since the definition of a criminal activity is not always clear. Like any other consumer product with new features, cell phones with GPS make them more expensive to purchase. It is now becoming a standard requirement that cell phone manufacturers install GPS in their products.

Other Cell Phone Tracking Disadvantages
While cell phone tracking can be very effective, it does have a couple of limitations. GPS enabled cell phones cannot be located if your phone is not on. Since most people are aware that tracking cell phones is possible, individuals who abduct someone can simply get rid of it. A person can also disable the phone by setting by what is sometimes called the “hide” feature. Some may even have the option to allow tracking only in 911 situations. However, some consumers may not be aware of this feature since many cell phone manufacturers do not put it in a convenient place for you to find. Another problem is that cell phones can have reception problems. Signals can be lost in particular locations like among tall building or in heavily forested terrain.Cell phone tracking is a powerful tool, but there are disadvantages and limitations. As with any new technology, there will always be someone who will try to exploit it. By being aware of how things work, the better we are able to take steps to protect ourselves to avoid potential problems.
Of course, cell phone tracking constitutes a major invasion of privacy, regardless of whether the intention is good or bad. Are you sure that this is the right course of action? Whether you're trying to figure out who that obnoxious prank caller is or attempting to track your child, it's a thorny web of should-I-or-should-I-nots. Consider whether this is really what you want to do before proceeding.How most cell phone tracking works is typically by triangulating the “pings” made by the cell phone to the nearest cell towers. GPS-enabled cell phones don't require cell towers, and may be located anywhere in the world by satellite triangulation in a similar manner. Cell phone companies are required by law in the United States to be able to locate cell phones to an accuracy of 100 feet, so that emergency vehicles will be able to locate the caller in need.

Wait, so what's the problem? Well, cell phones are notoriously difficult to track, just inherent in the nature of the device: they're not tied down to a fixed address as with landlines, but rather can roam freely. So, there's no easy directory with a name and address associated with every phone number, like old telephone books, let alone some accessible method to track individual cell phones in real time - at least one that is available to civilians. Here’s an overview of some of the possible solutions:
Tracking Websites

So, what about all those free cell phone tracking websites that seem to be cropping up? The ones where you just have to type in the number in question? Can't they track the location of a mobile phone?Frankly, no. I have yet to stumble upon one of these websites that actually works. From sites like “Reverse Phone Detective” to “Track The Number”, none of them provide accurate location information. While I personally have not investigated the fee websites, most accounts seem to point towards scams that are just out for your money—and won't tell you what you need to know.

Caller ID

As you might imagine, caller ID is far more likely to work with landlines than cell phones. In fact, there really isn't much by way of caller ID for cell phones at all that provides anything beyond the number—and even that won't work for restricted numbers.Even the best caller ID software on your cell phone is not guaranteed to work all the time, never coming up with a name associated with the number that called you, let alone tracking the location of the call. Mostly, this is because disparate cell phone companies have not been able to work together to come up with a directory of cell phones, partially due to public outcry over invasion of privacy.So, that's one less piece of data that you're able to acquire from a cell phone number alone, let alone real time location!
Google It!

If you're trying to figure out the general location of the owner of the number, as opposed to real time tracking, a good old (or not so old) fashioned Google search will probably do the trick. The person might have been un-paranoid (or unaware) enough to have it publicly posted on a social networking site, along with other potentially location-identifying information. Again, this is a small chance, and it won't work in real time.
Hacks

Experienced hackers don't have any problems with any of this. It is perfectly possible to track a cell phone's location - after all, the cell phone companies do it - even if you just know the number and have had no physical access to it, without the user having any indication of this happening. While this hasn't reached epidemic levels, the possibility is there.
Cell Phone Tracking Software

The only guaranteed way to really track a cell phone is through some sort of installed software on the device itself. This can be anything from a child tracking service, such as Verizon's Chaperone, to fun phone apps where you can track your friends' locations.

However, this generally requires physical access to the phone, and consent of the user—both of which might be difficult to get, and probably defeats the point of what you're trying to do here.

AccuTracking

AccuTracking is a software program that is compatible with many cell phone makes and models. If you have Boost Mobile, a BlackBerry, a Windows Mobile phone or one of the many other GPS-enabled phone models, you can download the free Tracker to your cell phone. The AccuTracking service was initially free. However, they have seemingly met the limit of free accounts and now offer subscription packages that range from $5.99 to $9.99 a month. The first month of the service is free, so you can use the tracker for a few weeks at no charge and determine whether you wish to continue using it.

The online tracker offered by AccuTracking has numerous cool, helpful features. When you log on to the website with the account associated with the GPS cell phone you wish to track, you will be provided with a map with real-time locations. You can check the recent history of locations, which will not only give you the time at the location but also the speed limit traveled between locales. If you have several GPS cell phones, you can use the tracker to watch them all on one account. A feature that many parents might appreciate is the "geofence" capability. You can set up a geofence, which is a virtual boundary for the cell phone user. If the GPS cell phone is taken outside of that boundary, you will receive an alert.
InstaMapper

InstaMapper is an online GPS cell phone tracker that is currently 100% free. After you register online, you install the InstaMapper application to a GPS-enabled cell phone. Then, when you log on to the website, an interactive Google map will appear with the location of the cell phone. The map's details are updated every few seconds, with a moving dot on the map representing the GPS cell phone, so it is pretty close to real-time tracking. You can even embed your location to your personal blog, web page or social networking site, which is a fun feature if you are traveling abroad, and your friends and family want to keep tabs on you. It keeps records for up to 100,000 positions for the cell phone, and offers details such as altitude and rate of speed as well. Another free online cell phone tracker is BuddyWay. Simply register at the website and download the free software to your GPS cell phone. The phone's position will be sent to BuddyWay's server, and all you need to do is log online to find out details such as the current location and the length of travel time. Some features that parents of young drivers might appreciate in this tracker include the history of speed limits - including maximum speeds and average speeds as well as the GPS coordinates that were visited along the way - for those times when your teen is "just going to the library." If you are traveling, BuddyWay gives you some enjoyable features as well. For example, you can take pictures with your GPS cell phone and use the application to post them online at the BuddyWay website along with a brief note, making it a great way to share your travels with loved ones.
