haha, yeah, that wasn't too smooth. Pretty sure nobody will care too much if you did that, but I wouldn't talk about anything you've done to anyone, that's how people get caught. And read those proxy/wingate tutorials.

Hey go easy what does that really mean be specific here guys?

It means that the address of your computer has been logged. Using it, the feds can track you down. I'm not kidding here either, that's the truth. Hopefully noone will care about this little incident and you'll go unnoticed. But if the owner of the box you went snooping around wants to press charges, then you're screwed. So in the future, try reading some more before you go on hacking escapades.

Yea alright but how can they tell ive been in?

Dude, I told you twice.

IP: Logged

where does it log my ip address>, in a file or what?

In your member profile actually, but only administrators can see it .

I think he's refering to where its logged on the machine he is 'hacking' which could be any number of places depending on the software and/or network setup they are using and also at their and your ISPs and possibly other points along the way.

but who actually stops and looks at it, I mean there would be 100s of ppls doing this wouldnt there be.

I thought I read somewhere that your IP changes everytime if you are using a dial-up connection. Is that true?

yes, unless your ISP assigns the same IP to you every time. It's possible, though I've never heard of it and I don't see why they would.

It does change every time i log on

So that means other ppl have used the same IP which just about clears my name

Not really, because there's a time associated with it. All they would have to do is call up your ISP and say, "The person with IP number x.x.x.x at December 1st 0923 broke into my computer." The ISP checks their data (oh yes, they keep that kind of info) and match the IP at that time with the person using it (you) and give you a call.

Yes but how long do they keep it for
