Professorhouse- with 1101!!! LISTING!!!

[Akon]

Ok, so this guy has TOTALY spammed the money sub on the market, with over 1k LISTINGS!!

I dont cockblock peoples way of makin money, but for fuck sake over 1000 listings, reallu??

It its impossible to find other listings now....

[Xeisenberg]

Deserves to be temporarily banned as a vendor and warned. No sane human could have posted that many listings, which means he used a macro or bot/program to post them.

I'd send a report to staff.

[Albert]

Oops.. That can't be a good sign! Do we remember what follows when a similar/same username/vendor did that with other markets?!

Edit: Someone could probably link the reddit posts on the username. I don't have the links handy.

Sheep was a scam, not a hack! So was TM

[OTBS]

No. you're wrong. BMR experienced the same as them. sheep turned scam after getting fucked by ebook101, professorhouse fucked bmr.

I'd be worried, SR staff

[DoctorClu]

We have been monitoring his account since day one. There are a multitude of reasons why he isn't being banned. He has even attempted his attack he performed on BMR, but after it happened to them, DPR and Backopy got together on how to patch this exploit. Needless to say, he was not successful on the Silk Road.

No worries, mates. We have this very much under control.

Ok, cool!

Later when you guys ban him, you guys get that green right? whoooooo hoooo. The smell of free monay will always put smile on my face!

MONAY!

Doc - Any reasons why that ^^ alone doesn't qualify for a ban?

[DoctorClu]

When you need to keep a close eye on someone who has enough BTC to buy every vendor account he could ever need, it is best to know exactly where they are instead of forcing them into another identity.

Good to hear DoctoClu, keep up your awesome work

True that, but one would think he's smarter then that though - assuming he's the one pulling off all these heists. But maybe greedy too.. Which is what might bring about his downfall. That said, still curious about your statement in the previous post - permit me to play the devil's advocate here.

AFAIK bakopy publicly had admitted to being clueless about how the market hack had been carried out - including the transfer of market funds, and hence decided it best to shutdown the market for good. Though am sure he's had ample time since to go through it - over and over again. So likely the patching of this exploit you mention is a recent update. But again, if more then one market is vulnerable to a certain exploit at any given point of time - doesn't it make sense - from the hackers pov to exploit them then.. Instead of waiting for MP owners/admins to figure it out and patch up?

Think can take my blackhat off now

Doesn't that make him a threat to the infastructure of Silkroad? Any hacker is not dumb enough to do any exploiting through their main account. He probably has alt accounts. And he's probably actively searching for exploits.

Regardless of how close you're watching him, SR is based on an anonymous basis, and it's not really possible to track a new vendor if they've followed the correct security procedures unless SR is bugged to track its users, which I don't think it is.

You really should insta-ban him if he has previous history of doing this stupid shit..

[Xeisenberg]

When you need to keep a close eye on someone who has enough BTC to buy every vendor account he could ever need, it is best to know exactly where they are instead of forcing them into another identity.

And the point of doing this is? If has the resources and funding, he probably already has alt accounts, regardless of the main account. By doing this you're showing him that he's the one in power, when he is not, the SR administration & staff team are.

Allowing him to stay, is just showing that the team is weaker and more vunerable (potentially), it also allows him to do stupid things like clog an entire section on Silkroad (ie: the 1101 listings) without being touched.

Deserves a ban. There is no justification for allowing a potential risk to stay within the SR vendor community.

Yes there is. To protect the community in the long run by knowing where they are, like Clu said.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I was gonna start a thread on this the other day...... 9 pages of feedback in 20 days!! Can this be real? Surely nobody spends money on these bullshit get rich quick ebooks?

If he ALREADY has alt accounts, how is that an excuse or justification to keep the idiot as a vendor? You're not keeping him any closer, he ALREADY has alt accounts everywhere, and due to how this system works, it's near impossible to track him.

That being said, he's probably going to read this and this thread, and laugh, knowing he has alt accounts and is probably planning an attack or working on one, given his history..

[Albert]

If he already has alt accounts as you say.. which of course is very much be plausible. How does banning this account help? He'd only resume his activities through another account. Or maybe all off them together to create some sort of DDOS on the server with one too many requests on the server. The fact that he can create as many listings and/or even 'generate' as many feedbacks shows he's somehow bypassing the system. Are theese even legit feedbacks or is that another hack? If those feedbacks aren't real maybe his withdrawals wouldn't be too?

I'd be wary.

It would help because it would show him that the SR team has power. He wouldn't turn his activities to his other accounts because he probably already has. Someone who is persistent and dedicated eventually will get what they want, in this case he wants SR.

[Heisenberg-meds]

If someone from SR knew how to code, they could let his listings be visible to only himself.
Would keep him occupied without scamming anybody with his google ebooks.

Excellent suggestion I must say..

[DoctorClu]

He may want SR, but he certainly wont get it. Banning him would serve no purpose whatsoever. If he does have other accounts, he will start using them instead. If he doesn't, this is TOR. It is anonymous. It is the reason why he has so much feedback. He can create an infinite number of buyer accounts, purchase his own e-books after he has lowered the price to 0.00, finalize, and give himself whatever feedback he wants. This is called feedback padding.

There is a whole lot more to this that I simply cannot go into detail on in case he is reading this thread. We have taken several precautions. He wont be successful.

I understand that the team may have taken several precautions, but stating things like "He wont be succesful." is something that is not good. Nothing is ever always fully secure. People have to this day found exploits in major coperations worldwide, such as Facebook,Google & Twitter. Silkroad is not comparable to these companies, but just saying that nothing is ever secure to the extent that one can make a statement like "He wont be succesful." because in the end, they always are.

This sort of attitude, and reinforcment of thinking that everything, and everyone is safe: is the reason why markets get hacked.

[Albert]

On the contratry its fairly possible he's keeping staff busy and distracted over some capchta and vendor related bug.. While the true action might actually be happening elsewhere! Jeez am probably already imagining stuff. But, hoping for everyone's sake - the admins have everything under control.

[DoctorClu]

Would you prefer I say "We give him a 50/50 shot"? While I appreciate your input on this, the situation is under control mate.

[Hux]

If anyone manages to hack Silk Road, they deserve whatever they can get out of it because that would take significant volumes of talent and there isn't much on the live server bitcoin wallet for security purposes. If somebody ever does find a hole in our security, it is just 1 more crack sealed for the future with limited losses which we can cover from the market profits. Although I cannot comment on individual cases, please understand that the senior staff are aware of the presence of particular individuals who may be of interest to watch.

To support what DoctorClu stated; our dev team did converse with backopy to investigate the source of the exploit and it was successfully patched on Silk Road. The error was not in the coding of our markets but the underlying server protocols all web applications are built upon, so backopy could never have been aware of the problem before it occurred. We are grateful for his input of information so that we could locate the source of the hack too as without this it is possible Silk Road may have been vulnerable also - I think this highlights the power that friendly co-operation can have between trusted market operators.

The Silk Road system has many built in fail-safes and we believe the best way to ensure your bitcoin and data is safe is to keep that data encrypted and off the main server. Very little bitcoin is kept on the live server, only enough to balance withdrawals and deposits and is drained every day to keep it low. In the event of a hack and this being lost, SR replenishes this from the profits of the site and the user is fully reimbursed for the loss without them even noticing. There are also over 300 different mechanisms to ensure the integrity of our server and data ongoing at any given moment so we would know (probably faster the hacker would too) if something had breached our systems, which in any case would trigger a lockdown that not even I can reverse, only Defcon.

Hello!

I want to tell you something about profesorhouse. I do not know him myself, but I have a college that used to train with  him/group. From the information gathered so far, it seems like this is a hacker group with really good OPSEC and good penetration! And most believe they are based in Germany!

This guy / group is very dangerouse, I would stay so far away. The mod is doing the right thing in this situation It is also believed, this guy / gruop is sitting on a large amount of Bitcoin 20-60k range. But you all knew that.

As for this text, I have it translated to many different languages ​​and back to English, that's why is so funny to read, im sorry for that. But this is for my own safety.

My group will soon unveil the new stitch to a previouse fraudsters who is  to memory many people is very fresh.

We are so sure of this new scam that we are willing to publicly bet 500usd. But I need to talk to other people, how we can do this. I'll be in touch.

A spam filter for an adult forum, it has to be here a tough job for the moderators!

Mate Hux - isn't that the whole point with 0day or private exploits, by the time one figures what/where the fuck up is, the damage is already done! But am sure it's re-assuring for everyone to know, that at any point of time there aren't any coins on the live server itself.. So there's nothing to swindle away.. as the coins are securely stored offline. Guess it's nice to see this sharing of info and cooperation between competing/contemporary markets too.. So, now can ya send a couple of thousand users our way!

Given that you've already stated that it would be pointless to hack Silkroad for a monentary value, given the security topology in place. Who said money was of any value or target, when clients information is worth more than money itself as they generate the money?

[Dr Robotnik]

with PGP it should not be possible to obtain sensitive data?

I'm glad to hear that the makers of other markets come together and sit down, share information about possible flaws, security holes. Information is power! Keep it up team!

And the dev team have my full support, don't put words into my mouth troll.
