Even if you did get his home IP, broadband connections in Israel have dynamic IPs too, so you would prolly reach someone else by now.

Shame isn't it, revenge could have been sweet.

Strange, i never got one of those emails . . . although its possible that it could have been deleted. Its good we found this flaw, but the hacker had no reason to delete the sections. Maybe he could have moved stuff around instead of causing the damage.

I don't think the IP was him at all.

It was from the Amsterdam area.

I think that if you were to try and follow that IP to him, your just going to make him feel like he made a impact, lets just stop talking about it, that way he does not get the pleasure of thinking he "won"

He didn't win squat, unless getting an entire forum out for his head is what he wanted and quite frankly I don't think it was. I am sure he is feeling a bit stoopid right now, I mean c'mon who hacks a forum?

Though some research, I have found out that this is a rather bored kid, mid to late teens.

No, he needs something to do.

Perhaps a job?

AH FOR f*** SAKES!! I JUST SAW HE REMOVED THE REVIEWS SECTION OF THE FORUMS THE SECOND TIME HE SNUCK IN.

That is really shitty about the Reviews on the Forum...I wish that they were cached somewhere

Well, I contacted the admin at the site where the hacker was known to frequent and the admin was not willing to help us find the script kiddie.

He said we had no prrof that the guy I was going after was the actual guy.

Pretty sad really, protecting a hacker. Borderline sickening.

I know if one of my members was caught hacking I would definitely help the victim. Once he has years worth of work removed by a hacker maybe he will understand, other than that, he is just a hang out for bored children.

I'm betting the site admin is probably involved in the hacking comunity. It's hard to get information or help from any of these guys, the comunity is very close knit, they usually are not willing to share ANYTHING with "outsiders".
If anything he's probably given that kid a "heads up" that we are looking for him. I've spent some time in close contact in the hacking scene, trust me, it's all very secretive.
I'm no angel and I've done my fair share of activities in the past, but hacking a free and (fairly) small review site forum is just lame. I personally would be ashamed to even acknowledge I had hacked it. I've come accross a few websites with security issues, all I ever did to inform the site admin there was a problem and how to fix it, was to leave something ONLY the ADMIN could see and did not affect the website. This guy is just trying to get some fame for himself, nothing more.

I've been out of the game for quite a few years now, things have changed a lot over the past few years and I'm well out of any practical experience, otherwise I would have taken great pleasure in letting this guy know how much he has angered us.
Anyway, what good would it do, all that we would gain is the attention of other wanabes and become a target.

The term "rock and a hard place" comes to mind.
