[eboard-devel] ICC _is_ evil.

[Marlon S. <xe...@xe...>]

Hello,

I noticed some people were talking about the advantages/disadvantages
of I$$. Well just for the record... Blitzin _is_ a backdoor.
It also has the capability to read/write from its host hard drive, and
makes a note of each persons harddrive "ID". So then any further fake
registration (for the free trial period) will fail, even after uninstalling
and then reinstalling (due the fact that a small file is written to the hard
drive with the "ID" still in place). I have been told all this from a very 
reliable souce who I am not allowed to mention (that was the agreement).
He is an admin on the server and also told me that only 3 people have access
to the backdoor "feature". Which is not as innocent as it seems. It is very
similar in design to the bo2k 'trojan' by cDc. The client they use to connect
with has about the same amount of features as the bo2k client, keystroke logging,
ability to reboot its host, real time screen capturing capabilities etc etc. 
Any questions about this I think should probably directed to the newgroups.
This thread should really end after this message as I don't want a flamefest to 
start over which server is better, and why I$$ sucks etc etc. we've heard it all
before. :)
