Oly says:
Check the email headers, assuming he sent any. If they came from hotmail’s servers then someone’s definitely got a keylogger on your mate’s computer. If not, it could be someone just doing a faked email looking like it’s from him?
Headers say hotmail servers. It’s not faked.
OK, here’s the full story:
I set up a secret repository of the photos from Manila. Not on this server, so don’t bother looking! I password protected the page and sent out instructions to all the lads on how to view them. Yes, that email included the address, password and user ID, not the best, but I’d forgotten about my mate complaining about his Hotmail issues.
On Sunday night, he called to say he was locked out of Hotmail. I then received an email, from his address, to me and a load of other addresses, containing some of the more incriminating (for him) photos from the weekend. The email was sent to pretty much all the girls in his address book. He was lucky (ish), there were no work addresses there.
I called him to see if he had downloaded any of the photos and saved in his Hotmail. No. So that meant someone had accessed the ’secret’ page.
I checked the server logs:
$ for IP in $( grep secret-path server.log | awk {’print $1′} | sort -u )
do
echo $IP
whois $IP | grep address
done
All addresses were in Hong Kong, except for one in Ireland.
Turns out, a girl who stayed with him for five weeks in March/April, is now living in Ireland. Sooooooo …. case closed?
Anyway, I sent out another email to the lads last night saying I had updated the photos with a new link. The new link is a blank page, but emails me with the user’s IP address and browser info — my first ever PHP page! I sent one to all minus my mate telling them all to ignore it.
So we are just waiting for her (?) to access the honey trap.
We cannot access Hotmail from work, so my mate wouldn’t type his password onto a work machine, so last night I checked out his home machine. He had a firewall on his router, but the Mac OS X firewall wasn’t running. I couldn’t see any processes running that could be key loggers and no crontab entries. His wireless network wasn’t secured, it is now. I also installed Little Snitch, which should capture any attempts to access the outside world from his computer. I’m pretty sure there is nothing happening on his home machine. I did, however, discover that girl’s Hotmail password. Sooooo ……
He is pissed off because his photos went to all the girls he knows. I’m pissed because someone has accessed my private photos. I feel like changing my honey trap to fook her machine reet up. If I knew how.
Anyway, email encryption from now on.
The moral of the story?: Don’t take pictures of yourself messing around with filipino hookers.
Yep I’d suppose I’ll agree with the previous poster…
How to setup a secure Wireless Network..I’m sure people in our apartment are using ours…
There will be a security setting on your router setup page. Enter the passphrase, which should generate a key.
Then enter the passphrase or key on your laptop or whatever connects to the wireless net.
Moral is do what the fook you like, but encrypt it.
so that mate is the Counter, yeah?
Cheers Shaky, you’re the breast!
I agree with Observer but…….. hopefully she doesn’t read ‘Shaky’ as well.
No need for key loggers - if she was staying with him all she had to do was look over his shoulder when he was logging on to Hotmail. The question is, what did he do to piss her off so much as to forward the pics in the first place….?
She’s not there anymore and he changed his password last week. Now that password no longer works and the secret question has changed.
Not sure what he did …..
C’mon send the beetch some evil computer bacteria. What lads do on tour stays on tour. That’s about being mates and being lads.
People that object to stuff like that are usualy hypocrits and self appointed moral guardians.
I would paraphrase Kant but can’t for the life of me think of a suitable quote. Feck it - lets make one up.
‘Experiment with what you can be and you prissy wankers at the back can suck my hairy egg’
you m ight want to start reading the Standard if you don’t already.

Thanks. When I said ‘my mate’ .. I did actually mean my mate!
How will encrypted mail help? All she/they would have to do is add your public key to their ring and viola. Email en clar. All encryption really does for mail is ensure who the originator was.
I somehow doubt that the honey trap will be sprung. Damned shame but I suspect she is smarter than he is, has had her little fun and has moved on.
Wimmen eh? Can’t live with ‘em…………………..that’s about it realy.
can’t live with them, but dang if they aren’t the sweeetest thangs…
Hope you snare her! But how will your mate take his revenge? It sounds like he must have pissed her off royally. And how did you scrape her password together? Had she a keylogger installed? This is like a SOAP opera for geeks.
re emc. mail: I’d give my mates the key via SMS.
I also don’t think she will spring the trap. Nothing yet. Except the Village Idiot. I sent one mail saying “I’m about to send a mail. Do not, I repeat DO NOT click the link in the mail” .. … last night … trap sprung, it was the VI.
Oly - her hotmail pasword was in the keychain on mate’s powerbook.
I WANT TO HACK E MAIL TO MY FRIEND PLEASE SEND ME MAIL OK
HE
Switch off caps lock you tit.
And read it maybe. I cannot hack hotmail.
Update: found out this was a social hack.
A social hack? WTF? Is it like a common cold or a casual shag?
A bird asked him some questions whilst chatting to him, one of the questions was the one you have to answer when you forget your password. Something like that.
Wimmen eh? Can’t be trusted. Not like booze.
Second that, LT.
Though too many pints of McEwans the night before can be equally bad!
