  • @ferrarikidpimp There is no Lifehacker Apache server nor a Google Analytics server... I think your understanding of how these sites work is overly simplistic. I have no idea exactly what he was hiding, but common sense would say it's not just their gate considering he hid that and not his own IP or the Amazon one he was talking to (and no I'm not talking about shopping).

  • @UnderLoK Ofcouse he is. He is login through the exact same login system as the low-privileges users. The difference is that the login system AFTER he logins detects that he is an Admin/Author thus giving him the ability to edit/add/and probably see some sort of admin panel. The Destination row is probably only just a Lifehacker Apache server among maybe some Google Analytics servers.
