[00:57] Athanasius called the ops in #ubuntu (isanta x-chat exploit) [01:03] hey an [01:03] hey Athanasius [01:03] I asked them to come here, since I can't find anything about this xchat exploit from quick googling. [01:03] ahh [01:04] Hi, I've been asked to join and explain why I called !_ops earlier - isantawhatshisface was using an exploit for GTK-for-windows, which primarily affect x-chat for windows and possibly pidgin, in that those clients are unable to display non-BMP unicode characters [01:04] Such that affected clients will crash when they attempt to render it [01:05] Athanasius: Do you have a link detailing this exploit? [01:05] the specific character used is one I have seen VERY routinely used in deliberate exploit attempts; ascii byte sequence is 243 160 129 159 [01:05] lemme check [01:07] http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/02/01/5 [01:07] this might be it [01:08] LjL and marienz know a good amount about it, I think [01:09] (btw, for those who didn't notice, I used to lurk on IRC as AfterDeath, rather than Athanasius) [01:10] Athanasius: Thanks. [01:10] Yep. Can/should I leave now? [01:12] Athanasius: Sure thing, thanks. [01:12] k, baaaaaaaaaiiii :) [01:16] Can someone tell me why I was just banned from #ubuntu? [01:17] Anastasius: I removed you from #Ubuntu because you were offtopic, were asked to stop, and instead continued and gave an attitude. [01:17] Jordan_U: Oh. What does that mean? [01:18] Means we don't appreciate the trolling [01:18] Who was trolling? [01:19] Anastasius: That means that #ubuntu has guidelines, which you refused to follow. You can read the full guidelines here: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines Those are the conditions of use for #ubuntu. [01:19] Jordan_U: What if I disagree with the guidelines, as set forth in that document that was clearly crafted by an ambulance chasing lawyer? [01:20] Anastasius: then you can email the ircc [01:20] !appeals [01:20] If you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page. [01:21] Oh, please. [01:22] When Ubuntu finally swirls down the toilet as it follows the plan of Great Leader, what do you plan to do to maintain some illusion of power? [01:22] we'll burn that bridge when we cro... [01:24] can I be op in #ubuntu plz [01:24] skmpy_: troll elsewhere or get banned [01:24] are those really mutually exlusive? [01:45] yay [01:45] phix: not sure why are you are trying to be a problem, you know how to behave in #ubuntu yet you are trying to do the exact reverse, [01:46] any reason for this behaviour today ? [01:46] ikonia: just trying to help [01:46] not really [01:47] infact phix you appear in our logs way too often for this sort of nonsense, I'd request you stay out of ubuntu for a while [01:47] it's clear you have trouble using the channel [01:47] hold n, on phone atm [01:47] phix: leave the channel and come back when you are free then [01:49] ok you were saying? [01:49] I'm done, nothing more to say [01:49] I didnt get any of it, apparantly I had to leave this channel [01:49] sure, I'll summerise [01:49] ok [01:49] That would be neat [01:50] you are constantly a problem in #ubuntu and have had many warnings/short term bans, it's clear you can't interact in the channel within it's guidelines, so you are not welcome in the channel at this time - you can now have a longer break from the channel [01:51] ikonia: I havnt been banned for at east 6 months or so, I was only offering help [01:52] phix: you know the rules, you've had them explained to you many many times before, so, lets make it another 6 months [01:52] Apparantly offering help is against guildlines [01:52] I Know [01:52] I thought helping was allowed [01:52] phix: calling people "mofos" isn't [01:52] or should I help in offtopic? [01:52] no, there is no support in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:53] ikonia: I was relating to the person that needed help, they were upset that people were being dicks to them === apachelogger_ is now known as quantumbillionai [01:53] people where not being "dicks" to them [01:53] either way, you once again can't interact, so you're banned again, [01:53] phix: see you in 6 months (assuming you want to use the channel at that time) [01:53] just trying to reach them on their level, offer them support [01:53] phix: bye [01:54] ikonia: I see [01:54] You are being quite short with me [01:54] yes, as I don't want to do the normal hours of discussion with you [01:55] you've had your warnings/short bans/longer bans, you still can't fall in line, so discussion over [01:55] normal? I havnt spoken to you in like 6 or 8 months [01:55] and when do speak, you cause a problem. [01:55] phix: see you in 6 months [01:55] I have had no warnings, you just banned me [01:55] I was offering assistance [01:55] phix: you've had many warnings of how to behave, discussion over. Please leave the channel now [01:56] I appologise for offering my help in support of #ubuntu [01:56] accepted, [01:56] bye [01:56] I havnt finished yet [01:56] you have, bye [01:56] HOld on === quantumbillionai is now known as apachelogger [02:17] I seem to have issues getting into #ubuntu-offtopic [02:17] phix: banned from there too [02:18] For what may I ask/ [02:18] Was I being rude in there too? [02:18] I'll check for you, hang on [02:18] thnx [02:19] is it saying you are banned ? [02:19] Yes [02:19] Cannot join to channel #ubuntu-offtopic (You are banned) [02:19] ahhh found it [02:20] yes, it was your typical behaviour [02:20] ah, how long ago was that? [02:20] May 2001 [02:20] 2011 [02:20] That was a while ago [02:20] correct [02:20] Enough time passed you reckon? [02:20] no [02:20] seeing as you've just shown you can't behave in #ubuntu [02:21] and you've had many warnings in the past, [02:21] In the past, a yr ago, in whch time I havnt reoffended [02:21] you just did [02:21] and you've had many warnings in the past, not just noe [02:21] one [02:21] excluding my outburst of offering help today that is [02:21] correct, a yr ago [02:21] correct, because you've been banned [02:21] 9 months ago - not a year ago [02:22] ok maths fail [02:22] that's fine, [02:22] it's not a massive issue, [02:22] see you in 6 months [02:22] yeah not as bad as offering hel, that is outragious [02:23] ok, bye [02:23] spelling fail too [02:23] ok so can you drop the ban in ubuntu-offtopic? [02:23] no, I've just said that [02:23] you'll do better if you start listening to what's being said to you [02:23] see you in 6 months, no need for any more discussion [02:23] yes you said a bunch of stuff that may be related to #ubuntu but not #ubuntu-offtopic [02:24] ok, I'll be clear, you've banned in both. [02:24] there is [02:24] ok why am I being banned in offtopic for? [02:24] see you in 6 months, that's not going to change [02:24] phix: because I don't believe you can behave in line with the ubuntu guidelines [02:24] do you mind if I ask another op? [02:24] if there is another one free at this time, sure [02:24] I reckon I can [02:24] unban me and give it a ago [02:24] no [02:24] sure [02:25] phix: the ban in -offtopic was because you had just been kicked in #ubuntu for swearing, joined offtopic and swore. [02:25] phix: I'll give it 10 minutes for another op to show up / active in here, [02:25] pangolin: yes that was 9months ago, you want to drop that ban now? [02:25] seeing how you just got banned in #ubuntu. I don't see any chance of the offtopic ban being lifted. [02:25] phix: no. ikonia's decision stands. [02:25] phix: there you go, another op has concured. [02:25] pangolin: I was banned in #Ubuntu because ikonia doesn't like me [02:26] thnx ikonia [02:26] You too pangolin [02:26] ikonia: is many things but not vengeful [02:26] phix: your request for another operator to pass opion has been completed. Please leave the channel and see you in 6 months [02:26] I am glad we sorted that mess out [02:26] phix: bye [02:26] see you later [02:26] /part BRB [02:27] lol [02:27] staff exploit attempt ^ [02:27] ? [02:27] that is an xchat exploit [02:27] what is ? [02:27] all the little squares [02:27] he said "brb" - "be right back" [02:29] I'll post a ss === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [05:02] hydrox24 called the ops in #ubuntu () [05:02] _Marcus called the ops in #ubuntu () [05:02] Canadian1296 called the ops in #ubuntu () [05:03] Sometimes I hate people. [05:12] cfhowlett called the ops in #ubuntu () [05:16] pangolin called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic (this is intentional) [05:45] someone keeps asking about Ubuntu for gay people [05:45] :| [05:46] urfr332gO called the ops in #ubuntu () [05:47] removed them [06:17] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from gaflana) [06:20] i'm back, because he's back [06:21] tried to direct him to offtopic, but he keeps pestering me in particular [06:21] Ben64, have dinner together? ... [08:13] bazhang: Finally. [08:14] Corey, if he comes back I will ban. [08:14] bazhang: Give it a minute. :-) [08:15] yep [08:22] capcook, can we help you? [08:22] Why I was kicked from ubuntu [08:23] Suppa_Spic, just a moment [08:23] no, just teading [08:23] **reading [08:23] hello [08:23] capcook: ? [08:24] capcook, if you do not have an issue, please exit the channel, thanks [08:24] ok. a minute. turn off my router [08:24] hello [08:25] anybody here? [08:25] Suppa_Spic, yes [08:25] Yes? [08:25] Why I was kicked from ubuntu [08:25] Suppa_Spic, you were asked to stop with the discussion of windows games and move it to #winehq after checking the appdb [08:26] We're not really big on asking the same thing repeatedly. :-) [08:26] Suppa_Spic, I asked you several times to do that, and you continued. that is why [08:26] what's wrong about that? [08:26] So I can't ask questions about games compatibility with Ubento? [08:27] Suppa_Spic: Not the same question over and over and over, no. [08:27] Suppa_Spic, ubuntu is not the place to discuss individual windows games support, #winehq is [08:27] Corey: it was not the same question iirc [08:27] at any rate Suppa_Spic it was just a remove, and not a ban. [08:27] Suppa_Spic: Was there anything else? [08:28] ok thank guys, you're all really helpful [08:28] Suppa_Spic, could you please change the last part of your nick to something more suitable [08:28] bazhang: ummmmh I've been using this nick for years, what's wrong about it? [08:29] Suppa_Spic, some users have complained about the 'Spic' part as being offensive [08:29] It's more offensive than we generally prefer to see in the #ubuntu- namespace. [08:29] ummmh ok [08:32] change the nick means, change the nick. [08:32] Please. [08:32] ummmh ok [08:32] it is possible to change my nick in one channel only? [08:33] No. [08:33] I want to keep my nick in the other channels I join [08:33] you can connect a second time with a less racist nick for ubuntu channels [08:33] ummmh it's not racist [08:34] spic is actually very racist [08:34] Sure it is. "Spic is an ethnic slur used in the United States for a person of Hispanic background. " [08:34] I am Mexican and is not racist [08:34] Suppa_Spic: It's a term we don't accept here. Please change it or /part. [08:34] ummmh ok [08:35] doesn't help if he is still in #ubuntu using the nick [08:36] pangolin: Another slap will get him sorted. I've been shadowing him for half an hour now. [08:37] And boom goes the dynamite. [08:43] where is the linux family? obvi ubuntu is racist against other flavors [08:43] huh? [08:44] so #ubuntu should support all others or it's "racist" ? [08:44] for context: he was asked not to recommend MINT in #ubuntu [08:44] where did he say that? [08:45] a couple lines before the crazy white southerners line [08:46] oh [10:21] hmm, did my connection bounce a lot or something? Was I booted from #ubuntu? === popey_ is now known as popey [10:22] * popey_ (~alan@popey.com) has left #ubuntu [10:23] that was a minute or two back so i could /nick popey [10:23] oh i see a lot of ping timeouts last night [10:23] nvm [10:24] not booted that I can see [10:29] popey: massive ping timeout, floodbots recognised it as mass join, set the channel protected, banforwarded you to #ubuntu-unregged, we cleared it... [10:34] ta [12:00] nat0.staffs.ac.uk ubuntu is kinda bloated [12:20] hoijui, that's gtk for you [12:20] in response to a bug report [12:34] @mark #ubuntu LINT more of the same mocking commentary [12:34] The operation succeeded. [12:50] by druif I guess he means mrchrisdruif [12:50] ie monsterripper [12:51] I guess so. The link is failing for me anyway [13:14] oCean: staffs unit again [13:14] oops, stayed oped [13:16] ikonia: yes, and same behaviour as before, complaining in #freenode about being unfairly banned etc [13:17] oCean: do you believe it to be the same user ? [13:19] ikonia: well, can't say for certain, but the complaining in #freenode is the same, about "abusive ops" and all [13:22] do you have a log of the comments from #freenode ? [13:47] * LjL wonders what exactly it is about emulators that makes it any different from asking what's a recommended email client or something else [13:47] augh [13:47] followed by stfu [13:51] i love people who just make up rules [13:51] like the fellow earlier who wanted a pastebin for one line of output === Silverlion_ is now known as Silverlion [15:17] test [15:17] fail [15:17] it works [15:17] err ... PASS! [15:17] mneptok i know [15:17] :D [15:40] I note rly has not come back after he actually started getting help [15:40] I suspect he just wanted to rant [15:40] dot files? [15:40] dot files ? [15:40] that was his initial complaint [15:41] ooh really [15:41] it changed to "boot up is poor" then to "hard disk seeks are slow" [15:41] I suspect just rants [15:41] and he abused two helpers in the process iceroot and monkeydust [15:49] he's baaaaaaaack [15:49] mneptok who? [15:49] rly [15:51] can someone enlighten me? who is back? [15:51] user with the nick of 'rly' [15:51] which chan? [15:51] #ubuntu [15:52] ok, joined this chan willing to help [16:04] tried to explain to rly that he neeeds to change how he speaks to people, refused to as they are all idiots, now ranting that I know nothing and can't help and he knows all systems inside out, change him to +b and ignoring his rants in pm to let him rant himself out [16:10] rly, hi [16:10] Hi, please ban ikonia for not even responding to information which he/she asked and thus trolling. [16:11] If you care to ask a question and ignore the answer, you are -- by definition -- a troll. [16:11] rly rly [16:11] rly, this is to discuss your ban [16:11] Silverlion, please dont [16:11] bazhang copy that [16:11] * Silverlion stands down [16:11] My ban was the result of implicitly making stupid people feel stupid. [16:12] I think that just sums it up, doesn't it? [16:12] rly, well there are guidelines for the channel as well as a code of conduct [16:12] The guide lines also say to never speak badly of Ubuntu, even when it is craptastic? [16:12] The guide lines were of course created by a fascist movement, you. [16:13] rly, it's a tech support channel, not a rant channel [16:34] Ok, here we go. I just love to talk to people who continue to defend their lack of technical skills is a reason to ban me. [16:34] rly, hello [16:34] hello [16:34] rly, lets move this forward please [16:34] I think you can only ask 'where is the start button' in #ubuntu. [16:36] rly, please have a look at the guidelines and the code of conduct for ubuntu channels [16:36] !guidelines [16:36] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:36] !codeofconduct [16:36] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct [16:37] The code of conduct, I am sure, does not rule out idiots playing admin. [16:37] rly, you're not helping [16:37] bazhang: I have nothing against you, at this moment. [16:37] bazhang: it is just that ikonia is a moron. [16:37] Can't really help it. [16:37] lets be civil and move this forward please [16:38] name-calling won't do that [16:38] If he actually wanted to help, he would have done something with me taking the time to find the performance data. [16:38] Now, he didn't and as such it is just a time wasting piece of cockroach. [16:38] rly, much as I want to help, if you persist with such, there's no way to augh [16:39] you warned him multiple times to stop with the name calling, he continues, no point progressing if he can't stop such basic tasks [16:46] rly. good day [16:46] he was kicked from the channel [16:47] which chan he is now? [16:47] no channels [16:47] :( [16:47] ok [16:47] he's also just logged off, so I suspect he'll try to join #ubuntu with a different nick/no cloak [16:48] I suggest keeping an eye open [16:55] bazhang: what was that about ? [16:56] I'm not going to push to find out based on your !ot [16:56] he's just constantly mocking ikonia [16:56] Lint has MANY ot warnings [16:56] tedious now [16:56] just making sure that he gets a mark [16:56] doing the ! or @comment here achieves that [16:57] bazhang what this about ! or @ comment? [16:58] Silverlion, if a user receives four !warnings, then the bot will record it [16:58] bazhang thx for info ;) [16:58] * Silverlion goes to born some linux mint ;) [16:58] Silverlion, similarly if we @comment #channel user /behavior they get a mark in the ban tracker [16:59] omg i need a lot to learn :( [16:59] i am good at talking but remembering intel that is my lack [17:03] ikonia: oneiric, not pangolin [17:03] er, precise [17:03] oops, the other guy confused me, thanks === Silverlion is now known as Guest9574 === Silverlion_ is now known as Silverlion [21:57] re [21:58] FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [21:58] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [21:58] FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [21:59] yeah yeah [22:00] ikonia: what is that call? [22:00] someone did an exploit in #ubuntu [22:00] (to try to get peoples clients to drop) [22:01] Flannel: for 15 years of experience this guy sure is sloppy [22:01] !exploit [22:01] There are people around who think it is funny to abuse certain bugs that cause unintended behavior. When bitten by these, #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit and more about a recent bug at http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1132-1/ [22:02] great ^^ i am not allowed in this chan [22:03] You're not allowed in which channel? [22:03] u-ops-monitor [22:03] o [22:03] one monment [22:03] Ah. [22:04] not the most exciting of channels :) [22:04] Silverlion: The bots use that channel as a scratchpad to call ops with various things [22:04] It just happens to be a channel that the floodbots and ubottu are both in [22:04] Flannel: so where was this user who did the exploid? [22:04] since ops calls are routed here, we get info without the floodbots having to be in this channel [22:04] Silverlion: in #ubuntu [22:05] only trying to learn [22:12] another question: how can an op see from the messages of the bots what happens? [22:12] match up what the bots are telling you to what's going on in the channel [22:13] ok, how am i going to identify a user who exploids? [22:14] that requires time/experience [22:14] maybe a little research on irc exploits to get a high level idea [22:14] eg: you saw the guy in this example do a dcc sent to the channel [22:14] They say "D C C send start key logger garbage" with a few of the spaces removed, and garbage being some garbage characters [22:14] that actually is two (three?) exploits wrapped into one. [22:15] but recently (past year or two) that's been the most common [22:15] Silverlion: it will just click as you see it more and more [22:15] Flannel: I've not seen it in an age until yesterday [22:15] ikonia: Well, the xchat ones have been common recently, but this is the classic, if you will :) [22:16] yeah, it's picked up recently, after not seeing it for a long time [22:24] it's probably been posted to reddit by a skiddie or something [22:36] ActionParsnip called the ops in #ubuntu (Kaan_M_32) [22:52] ok sorry for my stupid questions. but why was there another op-call in #u`? [22:52] couldn't find a reason [22:52] the guy was spamming [22:52] as you can see the call shows the name Kaan_M_32 [22:52] 22:36 < Kaan_M_32> IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY COME TO http://www.borabux.com/?ct=mirc [22:53] ikonia: thx for enlightment ;)
