Mafiaboy on The Hour with Stromboulopoulos

[CaIciumsFTW]

thats why u always get on a vpn when ddos'ing. im always connected, but i have not taken down any big sites yet, just little pussy sites LOL

[MrLifesaver4]

hack the planetttt



[JonesArmandoHoward]

I think this is spin for things like AVG and integrated OS firewalls.

It's nothing compared to the actual outcome of some of the more major scams or "attacks".

This is just more socialism and communist insertion into cultures that they want to control or effect, most of the things we do are as consumers so I guess he attacked the consumers and years later the consumers think he's cool for wasting their time and money because of moral degrading of society.

Bad kid equals hip adult.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

I remember reading an article about him in Readers Digest.

[DrunkenBum0]

I went to highschool with this guy lol. He was in my grade

[OPandroids]

All you retards who thinks hes a skid your retard. And the same thing for the skids that say i couldn't quit hacking its to much of a thrill. No one gives a shit if you find a mysql exploit of an outdated wordpress plugins and hacks it.

Mafiaboy didnt just download a botnet and infected people like all you skids do. He actually wrote his own shit and used exploits he found to take it down.

[dodo2000107]

My brother went to his high school Riverdale.

[TheGavinkenna]

@hck112 Are you refering to mafiaboy as a newbie, or me?

[532170114gu]

he is just a joke~ DDOS? if a five years old kid have enough money to buy enough so called "meet chiken", he can crash any website he want without any skill or knowledge of hacking!

[OPandroids]

@532170114gu

there called slaves or bots. No such thing as meet chicken even there hes using some public shit unless you have 300k bots which you can get at the lowest of 4 cents each then you might be able to take down ebay.

[utubegay1]

lol he was never a "hacker". Anyone who calls him a hacker doesnt know what a hacker is. Just because he DDoS'd some big websites doesnt make him a "hacker"...maffiaboy...patheti­c

[THEGREATONE420]

wow such a basic implement yet so much damage done. tcp 3 way ftl

[MrBanana67]

FIX THE PSN MAFIABOY TO THE RESCUE!!!!!

[CLSAMG4eva]

mafiyaboy should bring down naughtyamerica

[TheGavinkenna]

He DDoS'd a few sites....and claims he's a hacker....

[hck112]

@TheGavinkenna most newbies say the same shit.

[techweenie1]

talk about full of himself..

[AiDz0r]

He was successful HOWEVER, his a scriptkiddie.

He didn't script/program nothing of what he had done.

All he know was -Do this, Do that - and thats it.

[funkyspydercrew]

asshole



[dylan122223]

5:10 , he doesn't know how to do it either.. he uses programs, he's a 'script kiddie'

[compl3tandpwn3d]

@dylan122223 U idiot u probably dont know the first thing about this stuff if anything this guy wrote the programs i guarantee that you could not find a program on the web to crash a major search engine god i had people like u L2p

[dylan122223]

@compl3tandpwn3d u make me LOL so much, read his book he admits he got the program from a friend and had no input to the guide, he simply spread the virus that would turn millions of computers into 'zombie computers' which could then be used to DDoS a site of his choose, using the 'shell' (program) to control them all.

[compl3tandpwn3d]

@dylan122223 Granted he did get this program from another user but calling him a script kiddie is going way to far u are quite right he did turn a ton of computers zombie, establishing a botnet of that quantity does take know how but to say that he doesnt know how to do it and that he just uses programs is just wrong because coordination of that many zombies is very hard, im sure u can see how ur comment raises some concerns.

[Bango61]

Why is the audience applauding a criminal?

[blacklight019]

@Bango61 he was a kid....and he did make people realize how volnerable the internet is....

[tantoedge]

Awesome.

[J03LZ1821]

DDoS?

[railpressureflip]

@J03LZ1821 Yeap, sure was Denial-of-service attack!

[tttlycoolxtreme7dude]

@J03LZ1821 it is a type of attack that u can send at other computer it is mostly a really large spam bot in nube terms

[J03LZ1821]

@tttlycoolxtreme7dude I know i was like saying it carcastic.

[natemcgraw]

@J03LZ1821 distributed denial of service attack

[J03LZ1821]

@natemcgraw I know i can do that...

[natemcgraw]

@J03LZ1821 so can most people.... i thought you were asking what it was. sorry about that i was a bit confused

[hck112]

@J03LZ1821 distributed denial of service. A common type of DoS attacks.

[GiveM3daSniper]

nerds i bet if i saw one of you in real life i kicked the living shit out of any hacker A.K.A nerds ass all this people here probably have never seing a rea life pussy oh and child pornography doesn't count or your moms either im a right yeah mafiaboy is the only guy hacker ill ever respect and i dont consider him a nerd like the rest of the worlds hackers

[deividas56]

@GiveM3daSniper Looks like someone's jealous of hackers...

[GiveM3daSniper]

to happen LMFAO every time someone rights a comment saying Script Kiddies dont you idiots have something better to do then sit at home 24/7 with no social live and i bet all hackers A.K.A nerds live with their moms go outside and get some fresh air

[GiveM3daSniper]

alright all this nerds writting comments if you guys are talking shit about this guy i would like to see any of you hackers A.K.A FUCKING nerds try to take down a big company like this guy did OMG SKRIPT KIDDIE who the fuck do you guys think you are anyone give a shot and if any one succeeds i will pay them 5000 $ wich is not going

[deividas56]

@GiveM3daSniper All he did is download a few programs,that is not talent.

[IXI69IXI]

everyone is forgetting that this happened in 2000, 10 years ago...

[dylan122223]

@IXI69IXI 11.

[freetrader0000]

The Darth Vader robber may make a book called "How I robbed a bank and why it's still being robbed.". I'd read that.

[hardstyle905]

Conficker could take down CNN for longer than 2 hours....

[Destroyer0fWorlds]

If you pause around 1:23 the text written on that web page is something about satanists lol

[DeathM9]

oh and 1 more thing this "mafiaboy" is a retard he opens up "My Documents" and says he is hacking into the system with Symantec and Norton breathing down his neck. Stephen Harper (also a retard) can kick his ass easily.

[Anggiclassicerz]

hes actually funny

[12112vw]

Cracker.

[Anggiclassicerz]

@12112vw Hacker.

[Aj0lx]

@Anggiclassicerz Cracker.

[Anggiclassicerz]

@Aj0lx hacker

hes not cracking anything dude -_-

[Aj0lx]

@Anggiclassicerz He's neither, all he used was a program to lagg them out. Everyone knows hes a worthless piece of shit.

[Anggiclassicerz]

@Aj0lx yes he is DOSing and he is making zombies on computer (hes hacking other computer) into a zombie to help DOSing yahoo,and hes a hacker

and hes also a skid and yes hes also a worthless piece of shit

[FireOrFlames]

lol the place where he threw the hard drive is where i live

[b03y]

I love how he's so chill about it haha

[DJRexim]

I wonder if this guy is still totally clean... It's hard to let go of the thrill of hacking, or so I've heard.

[joeyskater21]

haha youve heard or you know.... anywayss.... i know... and havent heard ;P

[DJRexim]

@joeyskater21

You know, huh? You're clean? Or still black-hat?

[DeathM9]

@DJRexim dude black hat is the closest thing you can get to me. I'm an Elite fools. btw the name is DELmE. eva heard of me? probably have ive done all sorts of shit

[DJRexim]

@DeathM9 I looked you up... I'm interested in what you can do.

I'm gonna sound like a noob now, but where could I learn this shit? I know enough to do my own little hacks, but I need to step up. DELmE, if you really are him, send me a message sometime....

[DeathM9]

@DJRexim yea thanks for that. you can learn this stuff and in bit maybe you can hack too. but first, (no offense) ur a script kiddie so you should use automated programs such as cheatengine, my virus maker,. Im not intending any offense. thats how I started. eventually I got the hang of things and made my own virus maker for poeple.I might be able to help you if you contact me.

[deividas56]

@DeathM9 I smell a attention seeker here,you can't hack shit.

[DeathM9]

@deividas56 wow that really depressed me

[skate4life0101]

@DJRexim He actually works for a securaty company now, he works against hackers

[DJRexim]

@skate4life0101 No way!! I didn't know that.... Dude, everyone who saw this video knows that.

[natemcgraw]

@DJRexim he's probably gone whitehat

[UberTourist]

@DJRexim After 8 years in prison, I think he is :P

[DJRexim]

@UberTourist I watched this video again, and I think this guy is legit, and he's whitehat now.

[KeySour]

@UberTourist 8 months not 8 years

[UberTourist]

@KeySour Oops yeah I just noticed that, but I'm pretty sure I heard 8 years in another interview, my bad :S

[prashant1234567891]

@DJRexim he was hired by microsoft to hack their games and to find the flaws of their stuff.

[DJRexim]

@prashant1234567891 Please show me your source for this 'fact...'

[framk20]

never forgive

never forget

(4chan) forever

[firebolt7]

he's a /b/tard for sure

[FusionStream]

I kinda feel this guy is a complete script kiddie. Doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.

[gwarfanatik]

@FusionStream Rofl your an idiot go bring down Yahoo then comment back.

[FusionStream]

@gwarfanatik Learn to spell, then comment back and read up on punctuation while you're at it.

[gwarfanatik]

@FusionStream Wow caught me on my spelling must be a real e-badass

[Aj0lx]

@FusionStream agreed

[danownes]

the funny part is he went to my School, AND had my teacher LOLZ

[hesawisa]

looooool

[aJack77]

a denial of service attack initialized within a while loop that tests the increment of a ever increasing unix timestamp thus using a "timer" to launch the attack whilst at school.

Nothing rocket science here, hacker my ass.

[nuckles0000]

pfff hahaahaha step 1: Download winnuke step 2:enter victims ip address step 3: press enter. There you too can be hacker

[MuayThaiViking]

i would love to kick the shit out of any hacker i could get my hands on. i hate getting virus, spyware, trojan horses etc on my computer

i dont care how ''cool'' it is that they can do what they do. they are a bunch of fucking nerds who should get a life

[sovietmarxist]

Don't be an idiot, and you won't get viruses.

[MuayThaiViking]

i surfed a completely normal website without downloading anything. suddenly i got a trojan horse, and 10 popups. in a few seconds, my computer got a rogue virusprogram that cant be uninstalled, and slows my computer like hell

its removed now, but people who make those kinds of programs should get their balls smashed

[msa1985]

fuckin' eh

10 GRAND OR YOUR PASSWORD IS PUBLIC AND I GIVE YOUR GIRL HERPES

[MuayThaiViking]

@msa1985

sure give me all your bank account informations. then i will transfer the money!

[FusionStream]

you are completely cluesless. a tool of the media

[FusionStream]

you are clueless. what a tool.

[MuayThaiViking]

im a clueless tool because im not a computer expert :P?

you really hurt my feelings, buhuu

[redpapi09]

you're a joke. have you read that book? you have no idea what he did.

[FusionStream]

indeed. don't ever forget that.

[MuayThaiViking]

so a supreme court judge, or a brain surgeon, are both clueless tools because they arent computernerds?

aah.. thank you, now i have found the meaning of life =) ill start wearing glasses now!!!!!! is it allowed for computergeeks to do sports, or shall i quit that?

[greenbastard50]

Omg I need to see this guy in real life lol. If he could teach me his bullshit.

[CyberDevin]

SSBWT1cgVE8gQkUgVEhFIE5FWFQgTU­FGSUFCT1k=

Hint-Base64

I swear this to be true so screenshot this post

[braden11ton]

I think George mixed up Ferris Beuller's Day Off with Wargames.

[STEREOSful]

yea it was on Reader"s Digest page 151 issue october 2009 he started(hacking) when he was 15 he had a computer when he was 6 the article was good

[metalfan129]

mafiaboy you are my hero. i wich yopu were still as legendary as you once were. long live mafiaboy!

[GigaShotStudios]

Hey, he still did it, not to mention he declined all interviews up until this point. I don't think he's really into gloating as other hackers are/were.

[glaxko2]

HE WENT TO MY SCHOOL! Riverdale HS, home of mafia boy...

and they say we have a bad computer progame

[ballzbroz]

ok if you think your hott shit bring down youtube tomorrow 12:00 central time for at least two hours then maybe you can talk shit about this guy

[NothernSun]

i have that readers digest

[TehCybernerd]

me too... :)

[Megamanexe709]

ok then

[230halfangel230]

there was a article about him in the readerès digest page 150 octer 2009 issue

+ if you to get free stuff contact me

[TAz69x]

Regardless if he was a scriptee or not, it was impressive he was able to accomplish that at ~14-15. I'm interested in his primary method of botnet client propagation.

DDoS's are generally not difficult to accomplish though, which is why I prefer to inter methods of simple SQL injection, SSI includes, form manipulation, JS/CSS subterfuge, etc. as opposed to brute-force attacks.

Regardless, it used to be ridiculously fun.

...now I'm just a Professional Web Developer (which is FAR more fun) =P

[brutalitygg]

so you idiots get your facts straight: he was a script kiddie, who knows what he is now, besides a glory/fame hound. someone GAVE him stacheldraht - he didn't write it himself or have anything to do with it.

[xmenmatt]

He didn't make the program but he used his own network of servers he hacked into to actually take down the sites with the program.

[MangaVoltage]

Back in 96-2000 being a *hacker* was the cool thing to do.Downloading ICMP bombing program and having fun with it(OR ping FLooding).

Well that kid simply found one of those that worked on all those sites. he did not figure by himself the whole icmp crap .

Well and he was caugh very easily.

Nothing to add.

[wrestlingfuad]

number 2 he is a true hacker but not way he is a scriptkiddie at first he was but now he took down top 5 websites so yeah

[wrestlingfuad]

i just read the readers digest about micheal mafiaboy going through the groups like alpha Tnt the scripting programmers

[Zylstramfka]

read the story/interview in readers digest

[AlCalKat]

he started out as a script kiddie but by the time he was taking down sites like yahoo and ebay he was makin his own stuff

[NoShit12]

Packages ? are you guys stupid ? he said "Packets", you probably don't know what that means.

learn about TCP/IP.

[BButcher12]

omg, piece of scriptkiddies who was arrested

[NoShit12]

lol, shut up script kiddie.

[gvi341984]

Funny how a script kiddie cost millions of damage while "real hackers" havent done much.

[WhatTheFStudios]

ahahahaha u think he was a script kiddie? wow u guys are dumb

[hellmaster3000]

dumbshit.. hes no scriptkiddie.

hes a skilled hacker

[Mauromina141]

Wipedia calls him a script kiddie. That he used downloadable tools to hack. Is this true?

[spike6sic6]

He said it himself in a show here in Montreal, Quebec(where he lives).

[Rawa9]

If you listen to the video he was a member of a hacker group, one of the members created a tool that used several computers all around the world to mass send packages of information to the chosen website, the guy to created the tool gave it to about 3-4 people but said that it was too power to use, which cleary mafiaboy did.

Yes, he was a script kiddy but on his way to becomming a real good hacker/cracker he was good at what he was doing and learn't fast.

Tip; watch the mafiaboy documentary

[pino262]

yes this is absolutely true, i started the same way, probbly all hackers/crackers

[uhjinlee]

Mafiaboy is a fuckin genius lol

[chaonaruto99999]

how did he hack???

[Jonhny2]

He was a script kiddie and didn't really write his own hack programs.

[afgdiamondz]

mafiaboy ;)

[514ak47]

mad respect

[coolgirl925]

Actually Michael Calce is pretty successful,

so what,

he took down CNN and Yahoo and other companies,

His book is actually quite fascinating,

I came upon it quite some time ago in a book store and read it :/

Its not half bad,

thiugh when you get to the Mafiaboy 2.0 part of it its somewhere along the lines of boring .

Mafiaboy rules ! <3

[pr0gram1r]

@coolgirl925 You actually read a stupid script kiddie's book?

[prashant1234567891]

@pr0gram1r no he had a interest unlike that retard that watch tv until 3 am instead of reading

[dylan122223]

@coolgirl925 MafiaBoy, is a idiot, only a 'script kiddie' would ever DDoS something without atleast ATTEMPTING to hide the evidence.

[666Bloody666]

pwnage.

[shadanek]

Wait...What?

Wasn't There a Book that he wrote?

There was and it told of his side of the story,

[DanielTuason]

man your with simple click you almost hacked pentagon's network!!!!!!!!

[OneRevelation]

how much time did he have to do? what were his charges? does anybody know?

[RapscallionRebellion]

if you wiki him, you will see how much time he got.

Not enough.

[momeater69]

man shut the fuck up

[RapscallionRebellion]

*blink blink... yawn...blink blink*

[vellure]

This is why Quebec wants to seperate from us Canadians!! They're fucking CRAZY!!

[generaltabarnak]

lolllllll not really but good idea haha

[GnomelandCA]

K i'm sorry but this is just ridiculous. He's not a hacker. All he did was get a botnet and ddos a few websites to make himself look gangster

[Guolettue]

omg ur so cool

[marieboivin]

LOL, yeah, CNN, Ebay, Yahoo... are just "a few websites"!

Montrealers Rules!

[THETECHGUY23]

lies!!!! I demand proof damnit!!!!!!!!

[fenoman666]

hes a hero.. lol.. tear them all down.. Cause pure mayhem at the age of 15, the way it should be lol

[Blazed15]

omfg hes my idol haha!

[TheSonsOfLiberty1776]

These people need to be killed, as they are no differant than armed terrorists.

[momeater69]

shut the fuck up u dont know him

[distractedbyme]

Those assholes your protecting have millions of dollars to spare. It didn't cost them that much. They claim losses as what they payed. These Assholes have plenty of money to begin with. Did Mafiaboy make good money? No he didn't, and he probably had to pay ridiculous fines to a company that makes too much money to begin with and doesn't give back to the people in need. I hate all corporations who value their greed.

[RapscallionRebellion]

He should have been fined and banned from ever owning a computer. HE wasn't gansta, he was just a kid with a program that someone else wrote who kinda sorta figured out how to work it.

The fact that he is still proud of himself tells me he never grew a brain.

[momeater69]

man shut the fuck up

[RapscallionRebellion]

Quite the intelligent retort. You have mad debating skillz.

Not.

[momeater69]

tell me, have u ever talked to him, your a fagg

[RapscallionRebellion]

Is that the best you can do? Calling me a fagg (and managing to misspell it at the same time?) Newsflash for ya, "fag" isn't an insult, son. Try again.

As far as knowing him, what's that got to do with anything. History has already proven what he was - just a kid with a program someone else wrote. He wasn't the uberhacker people seem to think he was. Maybe do your own research on him... er ask him yourself - since it's clear you think you know him.

[bougabouga]

what have you accomplished? Will you be remembered when you die? NO cause your just a little piece of shit that has nothing better to do then to go on youtube and leave useless comments.

Its not our fault nobody loves you so quit being a douchebag and get a gf , get laid and for the love of god get a fucking life.

[RapscallionRebellion]

LOL hey douchbag, never assume, it makes an ass out of u ... and quite frankly, u.

If you'd bother to check my profile, you'd see I don't need a girlfriend/to get laid/a life.

I might ask you take your own advice on the "get a life" statement, however.

You=epic fail.

[bougabouga]

My point is that no matter what you say asshole , and you can keep on throwing all the insults you want at me, your still a kid that has nothing better to do then to say everyone else fails at life.

But you can keep on arguing that im wrong but I don't give a fuck cause I KNOW i have a life and don't need to defend myself unlike you.

'Don't argue with idiots , they bring you down at there level and beat you with experience'' and thats the reason you won't get any reply from me.

Have a nice day.

[RapscallionRebellion]

Ah yes, the so called "I have a life and you don't" tiresome argument that people tend to throw around when they've painted themselves into a corner.

You have a life, you claim?

Well then, son... waddle away and git to it then.

[orlyorlywtf]

AN HERO

[orlyorlywtf]

i will.you see you see? yuou see? you see? you see? yuo see? i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawsky

[Cylence01]

Cool well I'm dating Jessica Simpson...her Sisters name is Ashly...her parents names are Joe & Tina....Jessica's middle name is Ann.......hey look I just proved I'm dating Jessica Simpson.....see how easy that was???

[momeater69]

call me man

[Plurstash]

Montreal has got any talent you'd like.

[PHATALiTY]

That's right!

[StrayCatLady]

Yes Sir!

[pokerslut530]

ahahahahaha maf if u see this hit me up son.. its one of your way back abusive niggletz ;>

[Harrysimba10]

fuck that he pwnd the americans noob's canadians pro hackers.

[123ble]

your going pretty crazy on the plurals there. lol *american's* *noob's* *canadian's* *hacker's* yup.

[Karimi4ever]

He did the right thing, he should us that internet is not safe at all, but if someone do the same thing now with the trains and airports and hack their computers Imagen what happens. i hope he helps us fight those stupid hacker. And he is not Mafiaboy anymore.

[momeater69]

dude this guys came to my house several Times, and he is a freaking nice guy, so all yal hating on him, you dont know what the fuck u talking about

[narutoisbttb]

Wow, people thinking hes a hacker? How can the legal system fail so much, I'm pretty sure its a law that you can not profit from crime, but guess again, hes doing it right now. And he's no real hacker, if you want to know what he did I will tell you: He pressed download waited 30 seconds and launched the program by clicking go. Real hacker here folks, takes a mastermind to do that then brag about it all over the net.

[pokerslut530]

rofl.. you're a fool speaking about subjects you have zero knowledge of. I assure you.

[momeater69]

u really think this guy is a fake hacker, men its amazing how people who dont know what they are talking about never shut the fuck up.He actually came to me place, and believe me, he is the real fucking shit, im sure your just jealous cause u cant do shit on the web.

If you dont believe, well your an idiot cause I have proof

[Cylence01]

(insert proof here)

[momeater69]

His lawyer was Yan Romanowski, which is my dad, he went multiple times to my dad's office (which is in Nun's Island) and came home to fix some shit on my computer, hi's dad's name is John and he has a brother(I think) named Derick.If u need more, just ask.
