I have been working at our DR site most of the week preparing hardware and configs for a DR test we are performing this weekend. As I was sitting here in frustration this afternoon waiting for a server to boot up, I decided to browse through the bash.org quotes and see what was going on. When I stumbled upon quote #742386 I started laughing out loud. On a day like today, when things are extremely stressful, this really brightened my spirits. Below is the quote:
<HaX.1337> U're all lame as hell here!!!!! I can hack u all in no time! just tell me your ip and u're dead!
<Maler.home> try mine
<Maler.home> 127.0.0.1
*** Signoff: HaX.1337 (Connection reset by peer)
<Damz|dispute> wow. never thought such a retard nick can get his hands on something actually working xD
I think this is hilarious because this “super 1337 hacker”, better known as a “script kiddie”, found a script that would supposedly bring a remote host down some how. How?! It really doesn’t matter. The funny thing is that he really wasn’t that smart. When he asked for an IP address from the others in the room, “Maler.home” gave him 127.0.0.1. This is the address that every operating system (that I’ve seen anyway… there may be exceptions) assigns to itself, also known as a local loopback address. When the script kiddie ran his nifty hacktool against 127.0.0.1, guess what?! He owned himself, crashed his machine, and was disconnected from the IRC channel. That is too good! I just thought I would share!
On another note, if you don’t check out bash.org, I suggest you take a look at the site and the many different IRC quotes on their. Most of them are extremely hilarious!
Until next time…

That is funny! (Thanks for explaining it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the joke! ;-))

There are times that bash is not funny, and there are times when each joke gets funnier and funnier and by the end of the page you’re making everyone else in the room look at you weird.
The absolute best way to read Bash is to put it in your Bloglines. I keep mine under Humor and I make sure to read it at least once every couple of days.
I also keep Dilbert, xkcd, and Penny Arcade in my Humor folder.

If you’ve never heard of XKCD, there are times when it is pretty funny. The guy is a math genius or something so math plays a big role in a lot of his comics but they’re all geeky to some degree. A must-read in my opinion.
What are a few other good comic sites you guys visit?
