Regarding that Crystal Eagle bashing blog, I’m glad it finally stopped….
From a techie and a psych major however the way this was resolved however has some… inconsistencies.
1. So tell me… how were you able to make the pdf work like a .exe?
Even the most famed hackers have never been reported using Adobe pdf, Adobe Flash yes but PDF never. You’re like basically opening a document file that can’t be edited. The only way I know how to do that is if there is a link inside that you had CE click and led to a site with a malicious code where you could hijack her computer from. You can’t make a .exe file just boot up from a .pdf file heck you can’t even embed a pdf in a .doc file in the first place. Please elaborate because I’m sure that by now information from a book that was published in 2004 should be on the internet right now and I can’t find anything that teaches me the sort.
2. While it is simple making a keylogger. Making a keylogger AND a “hacked” pdf file within a few weeks of the actual blog being up? Hmm…
3. Your method is a little too “clean” a little too “respectful.” (I can imagine that someone would do a lot more than just “politely” tell CE off for messing with their best friend.)
4. Awfully convenient that you reveal the hacker as a female, it’s like you’re throwing off the possibility that this anonymous hacker is male, which rules you out too right?
5. Oh and one last thing. Normally hackers would like to remain anonymous because obviously hacking is illegal. The fact that you revealed yourself to CE in your letter and the fact that you posted this on your Facebook feels like you’re asking for a fight, daring anybody to slap a case on you. I’m sure you thought about this before going public with your Facebook post. I’m not one to judge your preferences but do you enjoy being on the controversial spotlight?
Now I’m not accusing anyone of anything, it’s good that the blog stopped but the story on how the blogger actually stopped is real fishy.
