TinKode Romanian Hacker

[khofo]

Hey guys,
I just saw a TV report where they talk about security as u might expect it was pretty boring the whole time until the interview with TinKode a Romanian hacker. He claims to have hacked US Army, Nasa, Royal Navy and much more, here is the wikipedia article:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinKode
What blew my mind, he is a white hat now and in the report he was testing the online shopping website of a client and with a 6:10 mins timer he penetrated the website and changed the price of an item within 4 mins.
The vulnerability? In the logo :p they did not give more precision only showed him pointing at the php line where there is the source of the logo.

I don't know if this is kinda normal but it blew my mind

His blog is mostly in Romanian so.. but for hackerville it's what they were talking about in the beginning of the show, but from all the "hackers" there is only about 50-100 who are really hackers others are just grown skids doing what the boss want them to do like spreading the phishing mails. I even don't like considering phishing as hacking, it's informational you do not need more than 20min to set up a phishing site and then spread emails. But what is special is that it's targeted attacks against for ex the users of one bank which makes the operation much more successful.

I remember this guy back in the 2009,2010. He used to brag about his alleged hacking achievements in HF and other security boards. He got banned on some forums and as far as I remember he got flamed for being fake.

In the report they say he got arrested bcz he talked about it on forums and shit. But if u think yes he may have have been banned from forums cz moderators seeing a young guy bragging about hacking Nasa etc could have a natural reactiom to not believing and so on but why would they arrest a guy who bragges about it on forums if he really does nothing to do with it :p Anws I don't really care if he hacked Nasa or not he hacked an online shopping website in under 6 mins that's enough for me :p

Yeah I consider phishing more of a social engineering info gathering technique than a "hacking" technique.

Are you sure there was not video editing or most of the steps were not alrady setup?
Anyways, if you were on IRC more often, then yo would know that noncetonic actually beats that time more often.

Is there anyone who hasn't hacked NASA? It's not even brag worthy at this point l0l.
But none the less it entertains non-tech people so if what he does makes viewers interested then so be it. Just remember, there's always someone that's better at it then you so don't go around bragging on HF and don't worry, be happy.
