The Main Interface - What are we? « Thread Started on Mar 19, 2007, 2:48pm »
Welcome Fighters! Here are the basic things to get started.
There are people out there that are spamming to advertise, and spamming to kill other forums. Now this must be stopped. We are here to fight the other people that did this, and put an end to it.
Our job is protecting the forums that can't look out for themselves; stopping the spammers/crackers by fighting back! We are not a spamming forum. We stop the forums that spam and crackers in there tracks
We will protect your forum for you, and we show you how to make your account so almost nobody can crack it.
Now, there are certain types of people on the forum. They will be part of our elite team.
Combat Hackers are the people that fight the forums we know a spammer or cracker is running. They also need to be fast thinking to fight. They will also be the ones that destroy the spammer's/cracker's website itself. They will be the ones reporting the forums, and helping to get them shut down. Combat Hackers are the solders of the army. They will also work on forums as Security protecting people from spammers and crackers. Once they are higher up in the ranks, they can go out of the feild undercover with the Strategy Hackers.
Strategy Hackers are the people that work out the strategies for attacks. They need to be good at computer coding, and they are the ones that will work and discuss how to prevent cracking and spamming. These people also work undercover to get information on people and forums, so they must be good at SE. I send a PI(also known as strategy spammer) over to a forum/site that someone thinks is unfair, and after one week of investigation, they give me a report.
If you are interested in becoming a Combat or Strategy Hacker, please make a new topic here. And thank you for your support.
It is not easy to take down a forum or expose a them, we must get their bad rep out, fight them, and maybe get there forum banned altogether.
Then also, if you don't want to be involved with fighting, please support us. We could use it.

From what I have seen... « Reply #1 on Mar 19, 2007, 5:59pm »
It seems that people are taking this the wrong way.
Someone said TST scared them. I asked them why, and I got this back:
Quote:
You're willing to attack other sites if you deem it necessary to your goal. You appear a little overzeleous in your "war" against spammers when you drop to their level
I sent this back. Please read it so you can make more sense in what we do as far as forums...
Quote:
OK, I guess you didn't read all the stuff on our forum.
We don't spam. We have members on our forums called "Strategy Hackers" and "Combat Hackers".
The Combat Hackers have this huge guide they have to study, it has everything they need to know about how to protect other forums;
The Combat Hackers are sent to proboards forums to protect other forums that are dealing with spammers. The Combats will do daily searches for known spammers to see if a spammer is on our clients forum. The Combat then reports to TST, and our client's admin.
We protect forums from the spammers.
The Combats also help the admin so their forums will not be cracked.
The Strategy Hackers work on finding out how to stop spammers by codes and ways to make "Spamming Tools" or other harmful tools no longer work.
The Strategy Hackers get an even bigger guide and harder training, they also work undercover to expose spammers. They talk with the spammers, gain their trust, and expose them.
As far as taking out forums goes:
1) Someone tells us if a forum is owned by a Spammer or Cracker.
2) We send a Strategy Hacker over for 1 week to work undercover on the forum.
3)During that week, the Strategy will browse every part of that forum/site looking for anything incriminating. The Strategy will also be talking to the suspected spammer/cracker, gain their trust and trying to find out what they know(it's all in the training how to do this).
4) After a week is done, the Strategy Hacker will send me the report. If it's a good report with nothing incriminating on it, we let it go. If it's a bad report, we take action.
How do we take action?
You were saying some things about this. The Strategy Hackers will strategize on our battle plan. But they can't just say anything, we have protocols:
If the forum has a remote host; then send Combat Hackers to find TOS violations and all, then Combat Hackers will report them.
That's are most basic call. If it doesn't have a host, then we don't spam it, that will just get all my men banned in minutes. What we do, is alert the public of the forums and shut them down without braking the rules.
I do not deem necessary to my goal. Most of the time, I don't even have a say in it. If we ever do "take action" then it's only because the Strategy Hackers gave back to us a guarantee that it's harming other people. I state that plenty of times in TST(The Spammer's Takeout)
Quote: You appear a little overzeleous in your "war" against spammers when you drop to their level
We have never spammed once yet.
and as far as anything else, most of our work is researching how to stop spam(see our Anti-Spam Resources section). We have plenty of things cooking up on how to stop the spammers.
Then for the Combat Hackers that can't do research stuff, they are working on the other forums as Security.
We have saved so many forums so far from being shut down by attack-spam, and from being cracked.
My mission is to stop the spammers and crackers from doing any harm to more people.
If there is spammer or cracker out there that won't stop harming a forum, then that is what makes me scared.
Here is the thing. I hate spammers and I hate spamming. We would never spam, everyone on TST NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE RULES

Everything you need to know « Reply #2 on Mar 19, 2007, 6:36pm »
Here is everything you need to know about The Spammer's Takeout
Well, as you can see, I'm Admiral Refuge. And I own this forum called "The Spammer's Takeout!" We are fighting spammers and crackers, protecting other forums, basically training an army to combat spammers and crackers. Right now we are offering protection to mostly "Proboards" Forums. We do offer limited protection to Invasion Power Boards though.
Now please let me tell you about our Security and Army.
At The Spammer's Takeout or TST, we were working hard to stop spammers and crackers. The "spammers" we are referring too are people that launch "Attack Spam"(floods on a forum 100s of times to eventually shut the forum down). This Attack Spam can simply destroy a forum. We also other then protecting forums, we try to find the spammers and crackers responsible, and hold them accountable for their actions. Unfortunately, The Spammer's Takeout offline for awhile. Now it's back on line, but we but we have to build up again(so don't let the low activity have you mis-judge).
When you sign up to be a Combat or Strategy(I'd recommend combat, but if you have a good knowledge of hacking, you can be a strategy) you will also learn to be a hacker in the process if you don't already. To learn more about "real" hackers, see below.
The people in our army are known as Combat Hackers and Strategy Hackers.
The Combat Hackers:
Work on other forums as "Security" Fight the spammers and crackers Look on the spammers'/cracker's forum to get TOS violations Fill out TOS violations Make it known to everyone that the person is a spammer whatever the Strategy Hackers can think of
The Strategy Hackers:
Research to find new Security ideas that could stop spammers Work undercover to find incriminating evidence to prove a suspect is a spammer/cracker plan our battles lost of other stuff
Each Combat and Strategy Hacker will receive a guide, and become a Combat Trainee or Strategy Trainee. Once there training is complete, they will be promoted to a Combat Hacker or Strategy Hacker. The Combat Hackers can also become a Combat Teacher, same as the Strategy Hackers.
Here is our ranking list:
Non Staff Ranks:
Private -> Private First Class -> Specialist -> Corporal -> Sergeant -> Staff Sergeant -> Sergeant First Class -> Master Sergeant -> First Sergeant -> Sergeant Major -> Sub-Lieutenant -> 2nd Lieutenant -> Lieutenant -> Lieutenant-Commander -> Commander

Hackers and Crackers - Big Difference! « Reply #3 on Mar 19, 2007, 6:42pm »
It seems some people are getting "Hackers" and "Crackers" confused. Our Lead Team Captain "Captain Runtime" Has written a guide about what Hackers are:
Types Of Hacking -By Runtime
On T.V, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines and even on the Web, Hackers everywhere are being discraced. Why?
Some n00b pulls a stunt on a webserver in downtown New York. Suddenly, Amazon's website goes down. The press, T.V, radio whatever, have a field day. They publish headlines like: "Hackers Strike Again" and "Hacked!"
But what the general public don't realise, is that Hackers aren't bad. Somebody Hacks eBay and steals thousands of credit cards-that's not a Hacker. It's some stupid kid about 11 or 12 and has just noticed that his voice is getting deeper. REAL Hackers are the kind of people who see something, exploit it, and improve their knowledge.
Of course, there are some people who turn to the "Dark Side" if you like. They start off with good intentions, and then go way off course. These are known as "Black Hats" in the Hacking Underground. They deface websites, damage businesses and steal your cousin's credit card details. They're also known as: "Crackers".
The other type of people, like myself and many others, are "White Hats". Being traditional Hackers, we use the knowledge we have of systems, not just computer systems-phone boxes, fax machines, anything that has a processor in itp-to better ourselves and others around us. We find a whole in a Network. Lets say the Admin leaves DOS open to us. We fiddle around, create a new User Account with Admin privilages and "Hey Presto!" we got ourselves a root account on a Network. Now, what we DON'T do, is destroy everything. Instead, we post a nice e-mail to the Admin saying: "Hey Mate, You Left DOS Open".
The press are out for one thing-making money. They don't care whether they discrace innocent people, offend some of the possibly most intelligent people on the Earth or give Hacking a bad name.

Okay, for the people that turned TST down because it looked like a noob forum...
Here is the thing, 60% of TST cannot be seen by guests and some members. Yes, we have over 40 boards on TST.
Q: Why does your forum look so inactive? A: Because most of the activity is on the member-viewing forums and the rest is on the staff forums.
Q: Why doesn't it look active on the guest-viewable forums? A: That's simple, nobody really posts on them. If you would like to sign up and post on them, that would be great.
Q: If TST made up of a bunch of n00bs that wanna play war? A: No. Most of our Combats and Strategies are trained White/Gray Hats that want to stop spammers and crackers.
Q: So what is TST??? A: Read the first and 3rd post in our Main Interface.
Q: What did TST do so far? A: We have stopped almost all the PayPal and Credit Card scam sites in the UK, and a lot in other countries too. We stopped over 30 crackers/black-hats(including one of the worse, KniX) and even more phishers and spammers. We have worked with the FBI on 2 accounts so far, but for security reasons, we can not disclose what the accounts were.
Q: Should I be a Combat or Strategy Hacker? A: Depends really, if you are a good enough hacker, and know what you are doing, or if you are great at java script or another type of programming language, or if your great at Social Engineering, then you should be a Strategy Hacker. But if you don't know that much about hacking or security, and you have a lot of time on your hands to protect other forums, you should be a Combat.... The Combat Hacker is a less stressful job then the Strategy by all means, but the Strategy is more adventurous.
