is Oink gone for good?

[Fishbulb290]

Yeah, but unfortunately, invites are still not up yet.

Third advert. - Rush's complete discography is posted in FLAC.

Ya I was just checking that was the plan. I'm sure you guys will let us know when they are working again...

Not like that will stop the amount of people asking for them :lol.

[Xavier Rudd]

Shit, how do I get into Waffles.fm.? I was a PU and had a ratio of over 6.00. Damnit. And I have no idea how to prove that either.

[bennetts]

Like goodgoodtime said I did have an account on Oink. I dont think i was a PU (is that power user?) I didnt have it very long and I didnt download too much before bc I was afraid of getting banned haha

anyways I would like an invite.... swbennett84@aim.com
thanks

[Benco]

No invites. Stop spamming.

[Fishbulb290]

No invites. Stop spamming.

Not going to work...

[JorgeCavos]

They'll never get it...

[bennetts]

Wait isnt there some list that I need to be on to get invited? I'm kinda confused nevermind

[JorgeCavos]

There's a list like a page or two back, just add your name to it and you'll get invited eventually

[TSilk]

Can anyone PM me the song Are You Experienced? by Jimi hendrix, it won't copy over from my CD because Vista is cool like that

[BOTRNewmusic]

can someone invite me to the new site

botrnewmusic @ aol . com

sent MANY oink invites to am'ers when it was around

[LIOG87]

Just wanted to post the email list again. I thought we had a great idea by going down the list. Anyone feel free to edit and add names to this:

See, the problem with adding yourselves to the list is that you're not supplying ANY proof of previous OiNK membership. Anyone can copy & paste the list, adding their name to the PU+/PU section, and rattle off some stats. The whole point of the list was to distinguish people like that from those who were legit.

Also, I've said it before & I'll say it again. Look at the thread title; THIS ISN'T AN INVITE THREAD! Invites aren't even online, and your repiticious asking will get you no where.:BANG:violent:twak

[DMBtheStoned]

Ya I'm not even going to ask for an invite yet. gonna wait it out and let everything get figured out.

[Mattstl1]

update on how big the waffles are getting?

[Colonel_Forbin]

How can I get an invite to one of these sites? is there a queue that i can wait in line for it or something? I've tried for like...a year to no avail. Is there any way to join without going through getting an invite from a user?

These sites have been around less than 2 weeks. So no, you haven't been trying for a year.

Couldn't have said it any better. I personally will not invite anyone on the list. It's a mochery of what it was supposed to be. I seriously suggest you scrap the list as it is entirely, and find the original one that you started, you know, of the people that actually emailed you last week. Not just these fools who think they can pull a fast one on us.

To all you idiots:
1. There still aren't any invites to waffles.fm
2. Unless you can show a screenshot of an OiNK torrent. the actual .torrent file with your personal annouce URL, I don't see how anyone can prove they were on OiNK ratio or otherwise. There's too many liars and cheaters here.
3. Stop posting your email in this thread. I've made a list of my own, and I won't invite any of you. Ever. We've tried to have a dicussion, but all we get are lamers. It serves you right, honestly.

Chill out. Seriously. The criteria for an invite has been laid out, anyone who doesn't meet it, or ignores it, doesn't get an invite when the time comes. Your lambasting the world every page or two is obviously doing no good.

[kerplunk!]

People need to calm the fuck down.

If anything, the request for invites should be kept to one place. This thread is as good as any.

And sure, there aren't any to be had right now, but what's so wrong with making a list?

(God, I hate invite-only sites. They take the fun right out of pirating. If we're all going to participate, infringe and infringe alike is what I say.)

Shouldn't be an issue, I've the original list in a .txt file on my desktop. I can send it to you & GGT when invites are passed out, if you're interested.

:thumbsup Ya a bit extreme there Benco.

[Benco]

Back to the discussion/news :

Beau, whoever he was, resigned as admin of waffles. His statment :

"I despise goodbye threads, although a lack of explanation would be quite rude; basically, I always wanted to get something together in order to replace OiNK in its downfall, and to be quite frank, I am honestly flattered with the huge response to what you see now today. However, in all honesty the pace that waffles grew at was just too swift for me to keep up with; I have other priorities right now in real life and I know that the site is in good hands with the incredible staff team we have.

Thank you for your support, you've all been great."

BUT:

I know for a fact that his personal information got out and was publicly posted, so maybe he quit to remove himself from a potentially legally hazardous situation. Regardless, I'm glad he's gone, even though he personally invited me, because if someone got a hold of his info, waffles could have been shut down very very easily.

Update :
Registered users:2,629
Torrents": 17,307

Anyone know how fast they are updating their equipment? Servers etc...
Just curious. Also, how big is the staff right now?

They have 1 guy who is a "SysOp"
They have 7 : "Administrators"
and 5 "Moderators"

Who knows what they are actually doing though.

[TheGoodGoodTime]

Yeah...

You're reading this from our new server, which, as it tuns out, is better than we expected It's actually sporting 2x dual core 3.4ghz Xeons

Oh, and invites are open.

and then i go check, and low and behold I have 0 invites...

[TheGoodGoodTime]

Okay scratch that. I just went and checked. 4 just appeared.

[Benco]

They're up. I think you, me, and pkrfan should have a little chat.

[Fishbulb290]

Stick to the list!!!

(the real list...)

[TheGoodGoodTime]

Free leech.
Decisions Decisions.

[TheGoodGoodTime]

I just invited:
cmargeas@hotmail.com
and
existencenow@gmail.com

I am done. Good luck.

[Benco]

mgh4007@aim.com
jjubinvi@student.umass.edu

Enjoy Waffles.

[one_sweet_wrld]

There's a list like a page or two back, just add your name to it and you'll get invited eventually
this is why i was under the impression this was acceptable, and someone did the same thing several pages before JorgeCavos' post that im quoting.

i provided a screen shot of my account and said i have some oink torrents left if someone will tell me how to show my personal announce URL. i understand that its frustrating that people keep asking for invites, especially when theyre not available at the moment, and when PowerUsers are the priority, but you would probably be doing the same thing if not for getting a new account already.

[LIOG87]

Sorry if I f'ed up the list. Once people get invited the more invites there will be available, everyone will get in eventually.

i posted my email a few pages back and im definately not trying to pull a fast one. I was a previous oink member with .5 ratio, i was invited by danDMBfan her on ants on oct. 1 2006. I dont have a screen shot, however i can provide my original invitation email. Im really not trying to get flames or be douchebag, just looking to get my email on the list for an eventual invite. Not trying to be pushy just wanna download pirated music again. I love you

zsmith00@gmail.com

[pkrfan97]

Jeez, 500+ people just joined...that was fast. Took what, thirty mins?

[LIOG87]

How long do people think this waffles.fm is going to last? Oink was not really well known I didn't think. But with the news of oink and direct links to waffles from oinks site wouldn't the people investigating oink be lead right to this site? I am hoping there is just some law preventing this from being shutdown.

[ExistenceNow]

To those of you who were invited in this new round, have you got your invites in your email yet? I haven't, just curious if the newness of the site will cause a delay in their being sent.

[JorgeCavos]

If those who got invited can keep inviting that'd be awesome, i really wanna get on this an share! (I'm already on the PU+ list- crazycave50389@aol.com)

An invite has been sent to me, it just hasn't hit my email yet.

that would be most appreciated. is it the same basic thing as Oink? anyways my e-mail is tkm85827@gmail.com

i am eternally grateful

[Colonel_Forbin]

my old username was Dblue85827@mac. i got a new one because it sounded ridiculous. i have been a member of ants for a year and a half or so

Nah. It's all content (movies, games etc.) Their music selection sucks. Anyway, I'll send you the invite and you can check it out for yourself. I'm really not picky about giving demonoid invites out (not even as close to how picky I was with Oink invites). I don't have much respect for that site.

Edit: invite sent via PM.

haha no problem...its weird having such a low post count...even though people talk about it not mattering, I know that everyone just kinda dismisses what I say. I just couldnt stand that other damn username

Strange.

Anyway, I'm in, and as soon as I get invites of my own, I'll start taking care of those who took care of the Oink invites I sent them (which is only a few people). After that, I'll start down the (real) list in this thread.

dude, you're last on the list. seriously, this board is not the only place to get invites.

[markbaggs]

Well, since I was informed that I will not be receiving an invite from this board because "I'm not a regular poster," does anyone have any suggestions of where one might find an invite?

(Shut the fuck up, Benco. :))

[Benco]

Fixed yours MGH. You should have it now.

[junior94]

Admittedly I'd never even heard of this site until just a little while ago when getting a heads up about it from a friend, but it seems to be a site relatively in the same vein as Oink (though I can only assume not quite as good). But I only used Oink briefly and not for a long time now. Figure it can't hurt though to check it out, as long as it's open to get in, to have another site to try and get some stuff from sometimes.

http://stmusic.org/index.php

But the whole point is is that if you want in, do it NOW as within less than 24 hours from now, it'll go to a strictly invite-only site apparently.

But I only used Oink briefly and not for a long time now. Figure it can't hurt though to check it out, as long as it's open to get in, to have another site to try and get some stuff from sometimes.

http://stmusic.org/index.php

But the whole point is is that if you want in, do it NOW as within less than 24 hours from now, it'll go to a strictly invite-only site apparently.
pretty sweet

just signed up, and i gotta say, not at all impressed with what's on there. You can get more and better stuff from Demonoid. That could change though, i suppose.


in any case, thanks for the heads up!

[dythuger]

Fixed yours MGH. You should have it now.

How did you fix it? thanks in advance

[Xavier Rudd]

Thanks to everyone who is hooking peeps up with an invite. Could anyone send one my way? I was a PU+ but I have no way to prove it :/

titleist017@msn.com

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

anyone who has an invite, can you extend one my way, I was on Oink with a 1.5 ratio, TheGoodGoodTime can vouch for me.

[v0taw]

Whats the selection of DMB material on the website? I have 1,072 DMB soundboards (including 15 DM, D&T, DMB shows that werent released) and would be willing to upload to repay those who graciously stocked me up on oink. votaw.j@neu.edu

Ehhh...It reminds of the folks who complain about every release of Live Trax as if it's the last one they are ever going to release. It's amazing how many people in general are selfish and impatient (not talking about you GGT).

I have stmusic.org and demonoid invites to trade.

unfucking real...i keep this list going try to make updates and get skipped right fucking over!!?? - dmbhowie22@yahoo.com

and the worst part was that i came back into this thread NOT to ask for a update on the invites, but to offer up a bunch of What.cd invites because they just opened invites again and made the user base 15,000, trying to look out for some others cause i thought waffles was closed for awhile....fuck

You didn't provide any proof in the email you sent me, that's why you're in that category.

[tompeas13]

You didn't provide any proof in the email you sent me, that's why you're in that category.

Ok well I posted it a few pages back and must've forgot in the original email. No worries though. I guess since I am on the list I'll just be patient and read everyones continued feedback on what and waffles.

Any opinoins thus far on which is better, waffles or what? st banned me for some reason after signing up and loggin in. ANyone else have that problem?

[pkrfan97]

I'd say waffles all the way, but I'm a member of a bunch of sites (I initially signed up for all potential 'new OiNKs': libble, funkytorrents, stmusic, what.cd, & waffles.fm) However, I only use waffles.fm. It's the closest in comparison to OiNK at the moment, IMO. Most torrents too...

[ExistenceNow]

I never got an invite to What.cd, but I'm on waffles.fm and stmusic.org and I'd give the nod to waffles between those two.

[Benco]

I love waffles!

[mgundy32]

I'll take an invite if anyone has one to spare.

marc.gunderson@hotmail.com

thanks!

i think demonoids gone for a while, a long while.

and before you start bashing demonoid, i actually liked it for stuff other than music. I got a lot of great apps from there.

[Dr. Strangelove]

If anyone could hook me up with a waffles or what invite, it would be greatly appreciated!

Send me a PM!


EDIT: Oh, I think my oink ratio was somewhere around 4.6 ;)

I still would like an invite to one of the new oink replacements.... jacksonbauersdad@gmail.com ....I do good on dimeadozen.org and I had close to a 2.0 on oink before it closed

If you need proof I have a screenshot of the email proving that I was a member at OiNK

Waffles.fm update: "New users will receive 0 invites. Chain-inviting will not be possible."

Basically, forget the list idea.

Secondly, only 2,500 more people will be let into the site today around 2PM PST. After that, it won't be possible to get an invite; don't ask...

Thank God. There's so much weird shit going on right now with different sites getting shut down, we could actually be discussing that. But instead we get everyone and their mother coming out of the woodwork begging for invites.

Given that, I still have two, and will give them out based on the list anyway. I don't really care.

[dythuger]

if i got invited but my hotmail wont let me receive it, do you think the inviter will be able to cancel it and send me another? dont even know if you can answer, but i recall benco having a similiar problem a while ago.

Yeah, it should.

[TheGoodGoodTime]

Screw this. If they sstop invites all together im gonna cancel my account.
Thats exactly what I need, when waffles get busted instead of 180,000 people there are only 8000 people. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

[Fishbulb290]

I bet it's more a bluff to try and get people to stop asking for invites i.e. this thread.

[Benco]

Screw this. If they sstop invites all together im gonna cancel my account.
Thats exactly what I need, when waffles get busted instead of 180,000 people there are only 8000 people. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

They only went after OiNK because of the 180,000 users, and the amount of traffic. They wouldn't waste their resources on 8000 people. Another reason why HDBits is the best website out there. They limit their membership by number, and actually stick to it. People get pruned all the time, to keep the membership less than 21,000.

[thestand]

I got passed over in the invite list. My strength isn't my ratio, it's my volume. When oink went down I had 140+ torrents uploading. 30 GB both ways. If anyone can get me in before it's locked down, that'd be great.

[kerplunk!]

I looked around the forums and apparently it's a bug they're dealing with. But if you use the underscore _ in your search it's supposed to help. I searched Dave_Matthews_Band and it gave me only DMB stuff.

a shame though, that i need 3 sites to fill the void of 1. :(

[Fishbulb290]

I've always hated how demonoid was organized...

Funfile and forall are organized great but don't have a TON of content.

I mainly download tv rips so that's mostly what I'm looking for especially since oink went down.

[kerplunk!]

i never had a problem searching for stuff on demonoid.

i downloaded over 400 gb there and upped over 130. mainly films.

[Fishbulb290]

Searching wasn't the problem it was just how poorly organized and labeled some things were...

I will miss it but not nearly as much as oink...

[TGaucho]

well, this blows.

oink/demonoid gone & torrentspy/isohunt blocked for u.s. residents...
if i've said it once i've said it 10 times. Isohunt isn't blocked. At least not for me, and i'm in California. If it's blocked for you then it must be your isp or something. :confused

ExistanceNow, do you still have any invites?

Yes and no. They gave me 2 when I registered, but closed invites before I could invite anyone. They were supposed to open them back up today, but I was at work the whole time, so I don't know if they actually did.
Either way, there are a few people I need to invite before you, so you might look elsewhere.

[ExistenceNow]

Thanks Fish but I was kind of hoping someone in waffles could answer this. :shrug

yeah, i'm on the list under confirmed Non-PU, so whatever. How many new albums are gonna come out in the next, let's say, 3 months or so that i won't be able to get on IPTorrents or Isohunt (etc)? Patience is a virtue. Shit, it'll probably take me another month or more to listen to all the stuff i have on my computer that i still haven't listened to anyways. :)

Yea, it's actually free leech on waffles right now and there's nothing I want. I guess it's a waste. Like you said, I have hundreds of GB's of shit to listen to first. I just wanted to secure options for when new shit goes down.
The love will be spread no matter what though.

[Benco]

Don't be pissed cause I tell it like it is. There will be no "chain inviting" so, start kissing ass now. LOL

[kerplunk!]

I never liked the concept of invite-only torrent sites. Maybe it's the arrogance which is so often intermingled with its members that I don't care for?

Ratios, too. (I bet if you removed ratio requirements from torrent sites, the results would be pretty much even with what they are now. I mean, you're always going to have those who seed and those who leech, regardless of any minimum requirements.)

In any case, I'm not asking for an invite anymore. I will not "kiss-ass" for something that should be given freely if that is the actual intent in the first place. I understand there has to be a balance between privacy and sharing, considering what the site is for, but...

And chances are, there's none to be had, around here, anyway. Plus, I bet Demonoid will return eventually, especially considering their tracks are still up and running last time I heard.

You're wrong on so many levels I feel embarassed for you.

Invite Only trackers ensure quality, not only of content, but of the members as well, and the self policing that makes them great. The staff didn't make OiNK great. The rules and the users that adopted those rules so vigilantly made OiNK great. Why do you think that there is so much crap on public trackers and poor quality versus great quality/no crap on private ones.

Ratio requirements facilitate quality and sharing as well. When there is no incentive to seed, no one will seed. This is why you see torrents on public sites with 10,000+ snatches, yet only 20 seeders, and more leechers than seeders overall on all public trackers. Additionally, the speeds are naturally going to be exponentially higher for all peers when there are plenty of seeders. Another failure of public trackers, the speeds generally blow, making those who do seed feel used, because no one can actually finish the file because of all the leechers, most of which probably capped their upload speeds anyway. Without strict requirements, their would be no point of having the community private in the first place.

Any arrogance you percieve is your own. All I see are jealous people in this thread that are lying and cheating and bitching to get invites, and bitter at those who have been invited. Any rudeness they get is what they deserve. It happened for years in the old thread, and history repeats itself. It's annoying to people that want to have a discussion or help friends/worthwile contributers get on/sort out problems, only to have 8/10 posts being idiots begging for invites.

At least you finally came the conclusion that trying to get invites here was a dumb idea, though. If you really want to get onto Waffles, you will. There are many other avenues avaliable, one being the many IRC channels.

[littleD]

Seriously sound like you taking that post way WAY too personally dude. "I feel embarrassed for you"? Come on.

kerplunk right on one point for sure - a ton of arrogant assholes on some private torrent sites. Ran into them daily on Oink.

Loved oink, but really hated the "Like, OMG, you ONLY have a 2.2 ratio? Mine is 891.398. You suck." people.

[funksoul]

Hopefully I am in the 20 percent Benco was referring to. Anyways, I echo a a lot of people who say I have lots of unlistened to music. That said, does anyone have an invite to anything else decent for music. I'm not searching for some bizarre Minus the Bear b-side...just trying to "tie up some loose ends" in my collection.

I usually cannot find what I am looking for on a public tracker, and usually if i do find it it has like 1 or 0 seeders. Thats why I like private trackers better. The rules allow for people to actually seed.

Why do you think that there is so much crap on public trackers and poor quality versus great quality/no crap on private ones.

Ratio requirements facilitate quality and sharing as well. When there is no incentive to seed, no one will seed. This is why you see torrents on public sites with 10,000+ snatches, yet only 20 seeders, and more leechers than seeders overall on all public trackers. Additionally, the speeds are naturally going to be exponentially higher for all peers when there are plenty of seeders. Another failure of public trackers, the speeds generally blow, making those who do seed feel used, because no one can actually finish the file because of all the leechers, most of which probably capped their upload speeds anyway. Without strict requirements, their would be no point of having the community private in the first place.

Any arrogance you percieve is your own. All I see are jealous people in this thread that are lying and cheating and bitching to get invites, and bitter at those who have been invited. Any rudeness they get is what they deserve. It happened for years in the old thread, and history repeats itself. It's annoying to people that want to have a discussion or help friends/worthwile contributers get on/sort out problems, only to have 8/10 posts being idiots begging for invites.

At least you finally came the conclusion that trying to get invites here was a dumb idea, though. If you really want to get onto Waffles, you will. There are many other avenues avaliable, one being the many IRC channels.

I couldn't agree with this more. This is the reason so many people miss OiNK so much.

:thumbsup good times

[Benco]

eh personal choice I guess. I usually cannot find what I am looking for on a public tracker, and usually if i do find it it has like 1 or 0 seeders. Thats why I like private trackers better. The rules allow for people to actually seed.

Public Trackers are terrible for getting anything worth archiving IMO. The quality on them is so hit or miss, it's frustrating.

I agree. Public trackers are a waste of my time. Having rules is the only way to guarntee fast speeds/quality content.

I couldn't agree with this more. This is the reason so many people miss OiNK so much.

At least these two guys know what I'm talking about :)
Can't say I ever ran into anyone like that on OiNK...
Neither Did I. As long as you kept an account really, you were legit.
what are IRC channels? and how would i try to get an invite from one of them?

google "IRC" and do some reading. Find the waffles channel, Talk to an admin, and tell him what you could offer the tracker. Or provide proof that you were a former Power User+ on OiNK. Currently, that's the only way to get onto waffles, as invites are still disabled.

[TheGoodGoodTime]

One week warning for saying cute avatars are gay.
which they are.

[TSilk]

what is the waffles channel?

and I'll take an invite if anyone is willing, I've invited tons of ants to OiNK and can prove that, I also have the original invitation email.

jtsilk56@gmail.com, I have plenty of stuff too offer, much like I did on OiNK

[ExistenceNow]

Anyone else get this email?:

Dear reader,

As you know by now, Demonoid and Oink have been shut down. I understand your pain. Right now, sites are popping up like crazy trying to become the new oink and reaching out to the Oink survivors. There is a forum has recently opened with open registration. The admin has not stated for how long he is going to keep registration open. I wouldn't wait.

I am part of that forum. In this forum, you can get invites, trade invites, give invites away, and discuss the latest of bittorrent. It's really convenient I must say. They just gave some waffles.fm and what.cd accounts away. It's pretty cool. That and STMusic just might be the next Oink...you never know.......

Please don't ask me for invites. Save it for the forum. The rules are pretty basic. Don't get out of line. Contribute to the community. If you are all gimme gimme and no givey, then you will be looked down on and possibly banned. However, if you are a newbie to the scene, my recommendation is to start out from bottom and prove yourself to the regularsl. Unless you already have something wonderful to share to the community. Also, no double accounts. This is so that you don't screw up when you sign up.

Just read the rules and faqs before you post or message anyone. Remember have fun.

Note* If I sent this to someone who is already registered, just disregard email.

Also, if someone does something good for you or you feel somebody did something good for somebody else..it won't hurt to give out karma points to the said users.

Speaking of private trackers, there are many trackers, bot upcoming and popular ones that have never been open in quite awhile that are opening registration. Please visit www.zeropaid.com (http://www.zeropaid.com) and register there if you haven't done so already. Under the bittorrent section, there is a section that is updated daily with the trackers that are open for registration.

And last, but not least, if you decide to register, upon registering, under the Introductions section of the forum, introduce yourself and mention that diablofire told you about the site. So if you think you benefited from this email or are just happy that someone invited you to someplace awesome, enter that please. When your are done registering, either email me your username or PM me it at the forum. I'll be using this to make a small compilation of names so that when I post some invites, those names will have higher priority.

Regards,
diabofire

Nothing like waking up to a nice letter from the RIAA giving you a "final warning" about downloading off what.cd.

Hey RIAA, how about you harass people who have actually downloaded off the site in question! I'm a member but have never used it. But I don't think I'll be downloading anything from now on....

[jayspanbauer]

Has anyone here used IPTorrents.com? It is one of my favorites. I have several invites if anyone needs one. Would love to trade for a Waffles, What.cd, etc!

[Barbossa]

Anyone got a What.cd invite? I was a PU+ over at OiNK on now I'm over at Waffles, but would like to get a What invite as well. I would ve very appreciative.

^ probably just some d-bag. However I'm not taking my chances. If someone is able to hack the site and send out a mass email, it probably couldn't be that hard for the RIAA to get a hold of your information if it all went to shit. I deleted my account on the site.

[thestand]

So it's pretty much 100% sure now that waffles is the one attacking what.cd. Sucks.

[JorgeCavos]

They sorted out the stuff on What, if you read the newest news article you'll see the lengthy explanation

[TheGoodGoodTime]

So it's pretty much 100% sure now that waffles is the one attacking what.cd. Sucks.Really? Source?

[JorgeCavos]

The only time they mentioned waffles was when they said it wasn't them and that they're cool guys....

anyway, here's the latest update on the what website:
So, there's been a lot of speculation about who was behind the attacks on us. Waffles? RIAA? We've already come out and told you that it isn't the first. The waffles guys are cool, really. And the RIAA? Well, they don't redirect people to shock sites, as far as I know. So, who else would want to hack us? We've done our detective work, and located the two people. If you want to know who they are, skip to the end of the post. If you want to know who they are and why they hate us so much, read on in the ordinary up-down fashion.

When we first opened our public beta, we were temporarily hosted on the bitient.org server, which was owned by one of our admins (Noah). Noah also lent out hosting space to a few other people, and gave them shell access. When Noah granted us access to his server and IRC network, one of the owners to a site hosted on the server saw us as intruders, and felt a great deal of animosity towards us. This user's nick was 'P3T3R'. We left him alone, because it's never good to make enemies when you're running a site like this, but he seemed very intent on intimidating us. The following is from my IRC logs:

[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:23:38] (P3T3R) btw, be prepared
[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:23:42] (P3T3R) i'd watch it if I were you
[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:24:02] (P3T3R) make the most of what you have while you have it
[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:24:14] (P3T3R) cos you just might have it taken away from you...
[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:24:37] (WhatMan) What the hell are you on about, P3T3R?
[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:24:43] (P3T3R) i'm not quite sure
[Sat Nov 3 2007] [23:24:48] (P3T3R) or am I?

We suspect he was working with his brother 'biscuit', who has a reputation of being quite knowledgeable about linux, and 'hacking' in general.

Things were pretty normal for the next few days, but then we started seeing disturbing things appear in our database. Most of you guys know what these disturbing things were - redirects to shock sites, fake RIAA notices, etc. We initially thought that this was because of SQL injections - after all, TBSource comes with a load of exploits by default. So we went through the site, and patched up all the injection points (there were a lot of them). When we put the site back up, we immediately got hit by another attack. So we took it down again, and found and patched a couple more exploits. Then we put the site back up, and got hit by another attack.

After checking our database logs, it became painfully clear what had happened. The site and the database are hosted on separate servers. The attacker was connecting to the database server from the web server, but it didn't look at all like an SQL injection - none of our ordinary database calls accompanied the malicious queries. So, we decided that the attackers must have access to the web server, and since it was time to move from that temporary server anyways, we packed our bags and left.

This is when the SQL attacks stopped.

As we've already stated, the attackers then turned to brute force. The DDoS attack was well done, which made us think that the attackers were more than bored kids - but then, they sent out a shitload of fake RIAA emails, which looked like the work of a 14 year old. It was these emails that allowed us to track down the attackers.

The emails were well spoofed - the "originating IP" belonged to Dutch offices owned by the RIAA. However, they made a serious fuckup - a load of them were sent from riaa@bitient.org. This is not the case of a hacked mail script, as we never had a mail script - this was the case of someone trying poorly to hide their identity. A couple hours after these emails were sent out, every user in #what.cd received a CTCP-Version request from a user called 'biscuit'.

This is where it gets cool.

Sending version requests to everyone in a channel is the sort of thing script kiddies looking for someone to hack would do. As a good sysadmin, I tracked down biscuit's IP address:

[22:17] [Whois] biscuit is biscuit@b.i.s.c.u.i.t.1.3.3.7.h.a.x.0.r.r.o.o.t.NE T (Biscuit)
[22:17] [379] biscuit is using modes +wrxt
[22:17] [378] biscuit is connecting from *@*********.bb.sky.com **.***.**.**
And searched for it on the site - I came up with this account: http://what.cd/userdetails.php?id=1106

So, p3t3r and biscuit are on the same IP address. They both hate us, and p3t3r has openly threatened to take our site down. P3T3R has an account on the site, that logs into frequently, but never uses to upload or download. They both have shell access to our original server, so they could get into the database. Biscuit, the "1337 hax0r", sends a version request to everyone on IRC, a couple hours after scam emails have been sent out from a server they have access to. A little more research shows that P3T3R is 14 years old, and biscuit is his brother. It all sounds pretty conclusive to me. I go on to the bitient.org IRC channel to see what I can find. What do I find?

[22:37] (Noah) BISCUIT!
[22:37] (Noah) You'd better not have been the one sending those fake RIAA emails!
[22:37] (P3T3R) :O
[22:37] (Noah) And you most certainly have better not have been the one behind the hack
[22:37] (Noah) the emails CAME FOMR MY IP!
[22:37] (P3T3R) hack?
[22:37] (Noah) FROM THIS FUCKING SERVER

This pretty much convinced me that these two (especially P3T3R) were the ones behind the attacks. So, I'm sure you're all curious as to who these people are.

We only went so far as to find out info on P3T3R. His name is Peter Cole, and he lives in Yorkshire, in the UK. His email addreses are *****@p3t3r.co.uk and *****@gmail.com (the second one is also his MSN). His AIM is *****, and his Yahoo messenger username is *****. He has a personal web site (hosted on the bitient.org server) at p3t3r.co.uk - sadly, his home address and phone number are hidden from the whois. There's a shitload of information on him, easily accessible via google.

Neither I nor the rest of the staff is going to do anything to him - we just thought you'd like to know who the dickhead with your email address is. You can do with this information what you please.

EDIT: I had a nice chat with Noah earlier - apparently, P3T3R isn't the asshole, his brother is. His brother's name is Richard Cole, uses the email address b@iscuit.co.uk and owns the domain iheist.com - and the whois information for that isn't kept a secret. This is their address and phone number:

Administrative Contact:
Cole, Richard @googlemail.com
### ****
Halifax, Other ### ###
UK
+.######### Fax: +.########

We also got a load more proof from Noah - he read their history file. It is available online here: http://pastebin.ca/770838 The cool shit starts at command 491 (a DOS attack). You can also see biscuit hacking our database, etc.

I've removed his email from the news post for the day, at Noah's request - he wants to flame him without his email getting lost in piles of spam. I'll re-post it when Noah's done.
