I got a warning letter this morning telling me rockstar or some other company is threatening to sue my family for downloading "GTA4+Crack", and no, i remember NOT downloading that since it will never run on my PC in a million years

I bet it was my brother...

Omg wow. Your Brother = Fail

We got one too because someone (not mentioning who) was sharing a red hot chilli peppers track.

>.< dude... that SUX!!! time to make yourself an admin and put a super password on your comp... make others use the guest account.

JumpFalcon · « **Reply #5 on:** January 04, 2009, 06:53:02 AM »

If you're in the UK, expect lots more of this. Police are now allowed to hack your PC at will.

Plus, there's the new 3 strikes policy.

Oh, and stop pirating stuff.

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:43:05 AM »

I don't see anyone threatening me,

WOO! Yay for the crappy USA!

Slim Hacker · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:46:04 AM »

Same here
In the US they dont care because they know
that if you pirate it your eventually going to buy it...
if you like it so to them its kinda like giving out a demo.

The only thing about my isp is I can only download 250gb.
a month or I have to pay a dollar for every gb. I go over the 250gb.

I don't live in the USA, but I know it is not even the tiniest bit like that

Slim Hacker · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:50:47 AM »

Well the isp doesnt really care about what you download its
about how MUCH you download.

Alien_X · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:52:07 AM »

But the copyright owners do.

I told my dad to say "We had a computer expert today to see why this happened, and he found our wireless has been hacked many times, something to do with many differnet mac addresses"

That might do the trick

"and we put secuirty now"

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:19:47 AM »

Yay phenom. Hope it will get them off your back. Erase EVERY little trace of ANY pirated stuff just in case they want to check the computer out. (Well, if they say they will, THEN I suggest erasing. Lol...)

IndyChav · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:21:20 AM »

OR back it up else where

PhenomenalDesigns · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:28:37 AM »

There is a really nifty trick I can do, but its small, but I can buy a 16gb usb stick and that might be ok

You know the unused wall outlets. Broken ones,turn it into a secret usb data holder

Saw a tutorial online somewhere, great for hiding for por... important files

wilson08 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:31:01 AM »

If you are using WEP on your wireless security it can easily be hacked by a programme called "Backtrack" it is a bootable live cd... Yhhh i saw on watchdog a while ago about companies contacting ISP about illegal file sharing..

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:32:40 AM »

Link to this tut? That sounds awesome! But I wouldn't use it for...yeah.

gamerdude767 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:54:20 AM »

yeah backtrack can crack WEP easily, all it needs is a compatible wireless card/dongle.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:02:26 AM »

wow. LOL I was talking to at friend who pirates a lot and he has it all figured out.
"if the cops are coming, format your drive, say it's new, and lost the reciept."

"if the cops are coming, format your drive, say it's new, and lost the reciept."

theres a such thing as forensics... even if you format it the authorities can still see what youve been doing from the bits of info that stay on your hard drive.

just an example...i installed pcb123 on my pc a while back and have formatted 2-3 times since then. my friend chad wanted to use it one day so i reinstalled it and guess what....my laptop saved some of the library files and knew that the program had already been installed. even if you format the information is still there and can be pulled off with forensic software..

if you want to get rid of information drill holes thru your hdd or open it and break the hdd platter to 100 pieces..

ProperBritish · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:39:24 AM »

or reformat lol

PhenomenalDesigns · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:39:37 AM »

Guys, i am using the wireless lan being hacked as a lie so I cant be procsecuted. I have backtrack 2 on my laptop, along with something else.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden_USB_Storage/

I have a 500GB HDD, And i have ALL my downloads on there, not ony my desktop or laptop, so effectively, if I can hide that easily, then if they search my house they wont find it

I was thinking installing it inside my tv, and added a RF socket or something similiar like a SCART and make it into a USB effectively corrsiponding to the pins so when I plug it into a PC it works as a HDD

They will never guess that! Since my Wall Socket is way too small for a HDD plus the noise

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #24 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:40:31 AM »

That wouldn't work because then they'd get suspicious about why you have a harddrive in 100 pieces O_O

if your hdd was in 100 pieces it would be trash....hence the information cant be revived with forensics....

If you do quick format I heard information is still readable

But if your quick format it, then do a full proper format via BIOS I heard it will totally wipe it

well i got this land over in iceland if you want to buy it....

i would suggest researching that before you believe it. forensics is a lot further along than you think....

and i always do a full format and pcb123 still knew it had been installed on my laptop before...

Since they wont hack it, since they dont even know how to build a PC
