Scott’s dead tired. He’s not going to post tonight. He told me to let you know though, so you wouldn’t feel left out. Oh yeah, he did want to let you know that three 3 letter screen names have been hacked so far in the beta testing of AimPoo =o)

Yes! It’s true. I hacked my first screen name with AimPoo today! Last night I casually skimmed over the code for buttcrack.dll (manages threading) and tweaked up a few things including a small bug I found that made AimPoo always hack at the same port (6000) instead of the range it looks like it’s using. A simple constant was used for testing and not replaced in the code to the variable sent by the program. OOPS! I fixed it, so it should work a lot better. (you can grab the dll in the experimental folder) You can even try slightly lowering the timer rate and watching what happens.

D’OH! Scott is so stupid. He gets so occupied with the current things that he forgets simple things (like remembering who’s talking here). Anway, I’m back now. It’s me, the third person. Scott jumped in the blog when I wasn’t watching. Sorry about that folks! So, yeah, Scott’s psyched. I guess he didn’t tell you how he actually hacked the name, so I’ll have to fill in the details.

Scott re-wrote some of the code for buttcrack.dll and to test out any changes he makes to the code, he usually brutally tests it out for a solid day or two to make sure it doesn’t have any strange bugs. When he got home today, he came home and went into his logs/ folder so he could look at the pattern of attempts in full.txt. He read over it and was very happy with the results of the new buttcrack.dll. But wait! What’s this? Scott almost closed the folder, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a hacked.txt file. Inside, he knew what he wished for. On the outside, he thought “I was just testing AimPoo, there’s no way it actually hacked something.” Well, Scott opened it up, and sure enough, he hacked a screen name! All this without even trying / willing / thinking / caring to! How cool is that?

Ok I can see you’re all asking “how’d he do it?” Some of you are running AimPoo and not hacking anything and are mad at Scott and are IMing the poor guy very nasty sounding IMs. First of all, drop the attitude, ok? If you take something he writes in his time for free that can get YOU free 3chars, you should be nice to him and/or maybe even thank him! Don’t condemn him for the things he does for you. The first most notable way Scott hacked a name is time. The longer you run AimPoo, the more names you will hack. If you only run AimPoo a few hours here and there, you shouldn’t even bother. To hack names, you really need to run AimPoo for at least a week 24/7 before you can expect to get some rolling in. The second reason Scott hacked a name is a good password! It’s a password common enough that he knew someone might be using it (out of the 33,696 names) but odd enough that a hacker probably hadn’t tried it. What’s the password? “cellphone” – I looked around my room and picked a random object. Waddaya’ know, it hacked a screen name. What’s the screen name? I can’t tell you that!! =op In 72 hours once the change of address form goes through (proving no one is using the screen name) then it’s all Scott’s legally and he’ll start using it. Until then, hands off!

What’s this about an incredible discovery about AimPoo that could make it hack up to 50,000% faster? Glad you asked. Scott’s been researching and experimenting with some different hacking methods. Here’s the best way to describe it like water:

current hacking method:
drop – pause – drip – pause – drip – pause – drip – pause – drip

new hacking method:
SPLASH! – wait…….. SPLASH! – wait…….. SPLASH! – wait…..

Basically, instead of slowly hacking and pausing, which is a nice clean gentle quiet way to hack, the new method will create a LANDSLIDE of logins in one second on tons of different ports, then it’ll wait (a minute or two) and collect the responses. The downside is that it’ll really spike your bandwidth and cpu usage. The upside? You can hack a LOT more names per hour. At the moment (beta 2.1) my AimPoo has best results trying around 802 screen names an hour. The new method will allow you to try somewhere around that many every minute! How cool is THAT? How does it work? I can’t tell you that in the length I want to write this blog. However, I’m going to see about writing it on paper in the form of a flowchart and posting it on the AimPoo site. Also, once it’s working, i’ll release it as a new Beta 3, and you can all test it out! My plans are to then go with a Beta 4 for advanced & additional hacking methods. Then a Beta 5 for a cool gui and extra little features (like project management). Once Beta 5 is out and I get comments on it, I’ll go to a pre-release 1 and let ANYONE test it out. Then, in a few days (or weeks) I’ll take all the comments/suggestions and put out the updated final release of AimPoo Release 1!!! Who knows what’ll happen after that. (a series of pre-releases before releases).

Ok, well tonight’s blog has been long enough, and somewhere between the middle and the bottom of the last paragarph. I slipped into the first person again. Oh well, I should be thankful I can’t continually think in the third person anymore. It shows my self-induced skitzo psychopathic weirdness is not so easy to slip back into =o)

Ghaw! Look at that. That can’t be Scott can it? How embarrassing. It looks like as soon as Scott saw the picture, he figured that instead of letting the darn thing grow into a giant P.R. problem, he’d go on and post it on the front page of his website as a joke. What a stupid thing to do! Why would scott care about a stupid picture like that? It’s not like he ever sees any of his “friends”, so who cares?

Oh wait… I see the problem. That’s not a girl Scott’s hugging. Those are his own hands. Oh my. Oh my, oh my, oh my. That is very sad. I want to cry.

Well since this post is a waste anyway, I’d might as well make it interactive. Try this with me, will you? Scott thought of it earlier. He almost cried. (He’ll deny it though)

Say this phrase 10 times fast: miss ya’

See how “miss ya” turns into “Misia”? Oh man that’s so depressing.

…Almost as if Scott knew this would happen all along, so he nammed her “I’ll mis you” slang: Misia

awwwwwwww. He’s an IDIOT!

…can’t wait to see the comments on THIS post. but please:
KEEP THE COMMENTS CLEAN!!! – be respectful, lots of little people read them ^_^

“Yeah! and if you don’t I’ll thwap you over the head with a block quote.” -Misia

note: this picture was taken around 4am while I was hosting a lan party at another person’s house, for the record

That’s right, Scott’s going to talk in the first person tonight. He’s emotional again. I swear. What a dork. He’s like a girl these days. Someone needs to look into getting this kid some serious help. Ok? I’m not joking. If you know a good psychiatrist, give me a call, I’m starting to worry about the little dork.
