Jonathon,
I apologize for making a big deal out of this.
But to me, this is a big deal. I found your
actions very threatening. And even days later I
have actually lost sleep over it and been in a
relatively bad mood because of it.
Furthermore, below you stated I posted a URL.
That URL was to a geocities.com site. That site
has nothing to do with PHP and has nothing to do
with my local computer. In fact, that
geocities.com site only showed screenshots of
what I had been working on. Obviously, it must
have sparked your interest because you went to
work on finding out my IP Address so that you
could break into my system.
I am not a hacker. I do not try to hack and
don't know how people go about doing it. I'm a
programmer. To me, those two are very different.
A programmer is constructive. A programmer
likes to take a problem and turn it into a
solution. A programmer is creative. A
programmer has respect for other people's domains
and boundaries. A hacker is destructuve. A
hacker takes a solution and turns it into a
problem. A hacker has no respect for other
people's domain or boundaries. As you have
clearly done. You have overstepped a boundary
with me.
I did not know someone would come snooping up my
IP Address to break into my site. I did not know
it was even possible. The need to go into my
database and add your username, etc. was uncalled
for. Furthermore, you did not stop there. You
also went into my FTP site (which was empty) and
my SMTP server (which was empty) adding folders,
etc. I have full logs of your activity. You did
this day after day for almost five days, sir. I
find that uncalled for.
If you have copies of any of my files I suggest
you delete them immediately. I have Intellectual
Property rights to these files and will prosecute
you if I find out you have used them to any
means.
Again, I'm sorry for making a big deal out of
this. But it is a big deal. You have threatened
me in a very personal way.
End of Thread.
