Ah, but without sudo (or root I guess...) quite useless is it. I prefer chmod +x for 775 anyways. lol. But honestly, if I'm going to hack someone (never have before) I wouldn't tell them. That's just dumb... Great to be safe in Linux from many attacks though.

@theicedragonsword - Isn't that what happened with that last batch of Code 045 blocks. A "hacker" was trying to access many accounts, so ArenaNet blocked the accounts until they could be sure the attempt was unsuccessful. I assumed the "hacker" was using a computer program to attempt logins and ArenaNet security noticed the great number of failed attempts.
@OP - if it happens again, take screenshot of conversation and report to Support. It's like mentioning "bombs" in an airport. It is a real fear and shouldn't be tolerated. Stupidity should always be punished.

To the OP: think for a few seconds, don't panic, don't fear, concentrate and think:
if the supposedly hacker friend is going to get at YOU specifically, he needs to find you on your computer; how is he going to find YOUR computer in the middle of the millions of computers in your city? Hackers aren't magicians. The guy talked BS. Learn from that and tell your friends. Emotion is the tool of "social engineer" to generate fear into you that will hurt you, because they can't hurt you otherwise. And LOL at sudos, chmods and other scripts |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod I think that they have to manually block IPs, and the banning of an account from brute force attacks is an automated thing. |
