1-8-7 Family Owns Carona Mafia

1-8-7 mafia

Another classic Second Life mafia showdown is playing out both inside Second Life and on YouTube. The conflict apparently started in early May when the Carona Mafia issued a video warning that they have been “watching closely” since the Nicholas and Sephora gang wars broke out and plan to strike soon. 

Although the video claims, "we know who you latin loving bitches are" and goes on to say “we have found you”, in light of later developments the Carona gang may wish they had not found the 1-8-7 gang.

As for artistic merit, the Herald’s in-house film critic found the soundtrack for the Carona warning video a but overused and stylistically similar to many of the Sepohra gang’s videos. However, the Herald staff did find the use of a television static visual effect a pleasant break from Sephora’s less ambitious black and white design.

But, all warnings and no conflict make for a dull mob war, so we were pleased to see that the 1-8-7 Family responded to Carona yesterday with “1-8-7 Owns Carona” – a documentary of 1-8-7’s victory dance after taking over a Carona account which owns the mafia’s Second Life group.

The Herald media critics applaud 1-8-7’s use of 720p resolution in their YouTube video and hope more content creators will follow their lead – the high resolution version is ideal for seeing the fine details as the compromised account is edited to maximize the humiliation factor for the victim. Clearly, a new cinematic style combining thug life and video is being pioneered by the gangs of Second Life – a virtual golden age of user-generated content.

As for the mafia conflicts that these films document, it is unclear what may happen next. Will Linden Lab step in to restore order in their walled garden – or at least pick the winners and losers in this resident conflict? Should the Justice League Unlimited take time away from their busy schedule to fight what appears to be an outrageous instance of player vs. player griefing? At this point it appears that Nicholas and 1-8-7 are at the top of the heap, but can they maintain control of their meta-game’s narrative – and continue to evade the Linden ban-hammer?

    These kids need to get laid. Seriously. Like, have some form of sex apart from the hand.

    In fact, they should just cast away all ‘WAR’ pretense and just do what they really want to do, which is just bang each other.

    I can understand why SLH would want to cover this, because these stupid mafia gangs are an entertaining spectacle to watch with all their lame hack attempts, and the fact that they can’t even spell ‘whether’ properly, or “we’re”.

    they have numbers in their names like you :D

  6. Deadlycodec

    May 31st, 2010

    I haven’t used numbers in my name in years, mostly because idiots started using leetspeak in their names thinking that they were super hackers because they could use cout to output “hello world”, or include a header from a standard c library, or because they could replace their e’s with 3′s and o’s with 0′s,etc..

    That said, don’t tell anybody, but numbers in a name are not necessarily any indication of a persons level of skill, and no one with any level of skill at all would be arguing that point. It’s like saying, “your screenname has an “i” in it, and so does “Michael Jackson”, therefore you molest children.” and really makes you look dumb as shit.

    My expertise extends far beyond this crap, though if you really want to find out we can just whip our dicks out right here if you like. Nothing invasive, of course (I’m not threatening you with hax). You don’t see people at my level generally engaging in these types of activities, and there is a reason for that. 80% of the “hacking” that I do these days, consists of reading, system administration, experimentation on my own computers, and programming in various programming languages. A large portion of the rest consists of finding bugs in corp networks and reporting them without exploiting them. Why? Because the practice is valuable in that I am able to intimately acquaint myself with various vulnerability classes in the wild. Experience is the best teacher, and neither books nor whitepapers even come close to covering everything.

    But this thread isn’t about me, it’s about a fake mafia war.

    @Kultur-Klub-Jammer-Kid

    I don’t even know who you are. But people who know me, KNOW that’s not true. So why don’t you put up or shut the fuck up. Either we whip out some e-peens right here in the comment section, or you shut your faggy little mouth and move on. Otherwise you’re not accomplishing much except ‘durrr, I got trolled 2 years ago and im e-pissed at codec’.

    So, what DO you want to talk about? We can talk about dynamic memory allocation, we can talk about interprocess communication, or raw socket programming in c. We can talk about some php, or the torblocker script I wrote to detect tor nodes and block them using iptables. We can talk about some rfc’s or some file format specifications. We can get into configuring an http server securely. We can talk about bash and shellscripts and GNU utils that come with *nix, job control, bash completion. Hell, I’ve written fully functional bash scripts with functionality that most would have to write in other actual programming languages. Wrote a bash script to use curl and a list of googledorks to perform google queries for dorks with generic patterns matching common server-side script parameters with a high likelihood of being vulnerable to various vulnerability classes (as opposed to dorks for specific bugs in specific software) in a specific user-specified site. It detects dynamic content and quietly discards the useless stuff, then runs OWASP’s Wapiti against the urls for further testing, except it can run multiple instances of it and uses bash’s job control functionality to ensure that the number of processes don’t go above a user specified count. Then it checks the reports generated, and deletes the empty reports. It also detects and discards duplicate urls returned by google. I could easily write a fully functional vuln scanner in bash using fuzzdb, which is just a database of fuzz strings for blackbox testing. I’ve also written an smtp fuzzer in c, which is almost finished. And a multi-threaded automatic web application username enumerator which automatically performs dictionary attacks against each enumerated username, using libcurl and c. Usernames can be enumerated by apache homedirs, forgot password functionality, self registration functionality, and sometimes verbose login error messages (like with WordPress, for example). It can also detect subtle differences in pages returned by the server, which can sometimes be useful for username enumeration when there aren’t any tell-tale verbose error messages.

    We can talk about memory corruption. Stack-based overflows, null pointer dereferences, heap overflows. We can talk about structured exception handling, or visual studio’s /gs flag. We can talk about Address Space Layout Randomization, NX, N^X, DEP (not synonymous) or asciiarmor, and ways to defeat most xpms. We can talk about online certificate status protocol, or encryption. We can talk about SeLinux or chroot jail, or virtual machines. We can talk about dozens of operating systems. We can talk about some assembly and *nix syscalls. What you got, big man? We can talk about CSRF or escalating local file includes to code execution via php code injection into server logs, or injecting directly into process tables. We can talk about filter bypasses, common bugs and misconfigurations in web applications and web servers. I can even give you tons or real-world examples that I found myself in the wild.

    TLDR;
    I can talk circles around you today, or tomorrow. And on your dying day, I’ll still have known more than you. So you can suck my dick without a condom. Open wide, bitch.

    “And you’re trying way to had to come off as legit.”

    Here’s the thing, I don’t have to “come off” in any way at all, if I don’t want to. I don’t do shit that ends up in any sort of news whatsoever %99.9999 of the time. I don’t care if you do think I’m dirty. Not one bit. The fact that you think that isn’t going to get me arrested. So yeah, shout it on some rooftops or whatever it is you want to do.

    “For all the flak and bawww about WU, I will be greatly amused when JLU shows the scrotal fortitude to try to take on the mafias…”

    You mean like you, Intlibber? With all your sockpuppets? You are just soooo brave and clever, cuz it takes mega fucking balls to post in a comment section under a fake name. No really. Dumbass.

    LOL. limpdick proves my point, in spades.

    Wall ‘o text full of more mental masturbation.

    And look how angry he’s become! Truth leads to anger, anger leads to arrogant asshole’s head exploding.

    Why don’t you type some more chest puffing wankery?

    Can we do an interview? Come on sweety, I swear I am really a girl, don’t you just find me lovely? Yeah, you’re such a wiz kid that you got trolled by a fake girl.

    Intlibber? SL’s OTHER low self-esteem, pseudo intellectual, wannabe hipster! Rofl.

    You have your geography all wrong, self-imagined boy wonder. Sorry limpdick, I don’t roll with man-children, who feel a need to commiserate with other failures in order to feel special or like they belong. Or those who hang out on blogs, spewing their credentials, like self enamored fuckwits who have been out in the real world for not so very long.. If you had half a brain, you’d have done your research and found that this user handle was created specifically to fuck with Blub, because he used the term “Kultur Jammers” on this rag. Pull your head out.

    You ARE trying too hard, kid, and every time you open your mouth on here you make it more obvious. First you were trying to impress grieferkiddies, and now it’s the population at large, who has to suffer your self congratulatory walls ‘o text.

  20. Deadlycodec

    Jun 2nd, 2010

    Yeah but you still haven’t shown me the error of my ways, dude. Blow me out of the water here, or do SOMETHING. I mean, what? You’re telling me I’m incompetent. Okay, I can live with that. Now, explain how. Why don’t you reveal to all of us what you know, and I don’t. Oh wait, because you know jack shit and you know damn well I can talk circles around you all day long without even trying. You need some additional arguments, because what you’ve got here doesn’t seem to lend any credence to your claims. And just a protip, but using phrases like “autofellates himself” is redundant because autofellate already implies the “himself” part.

    Oh and I forgot to mention syscall proxying. And we can get into the network level to. TCP/IP layers, and OSI layers (deprecated). We can get into fooling signature based systems such as antivirus and firewalls, like with AV by downloading binaries and executing them in memory, where most Antivirus can’t touch them without a corresponding image on disk. We can get into getting past IDS. Packet fragmentation. Incremental IPID sequence numbers. Misconfigured GET and CONNECT proxies. We can discuss firewalking. DNS cache poisoning, Wired Equivalent Privacy, WPA. We can get into IKE packets, and pre-shared keys in aggressive mode with VPNs. We can get into fingerprinting applications and operating systems even when there isn’t much of a tell-tale banner and how that works. We can get into ANI and CPN spoofing. We can get into HTML, some Visual Basic, Javascript, and some ruby and some python. We can get into c#. We can get into DNS cache poisoning, ARP cache poisoning. We can even get into obscure technical jargon such as ‘dotted quad notation’.

    I’m trying to argue with you bud, but you’re just not giving me anything to work with. Except a wall of text baawwing about how I’m just so lame. Boo fucking hoo dude.

    “Can we do an interview? Come on sweety, I swear I am really a girl, don’t you just find me lovely? Yeah, you’re such a wiz kid that you got trolled by a fake girl.”

    Oh yeah, that’s a convincing argument. You are just so damn clever. I could never ever even hope to be as smart as you! What a god damn genius you are!

    BTW, I got your nice little email message last night from the @hotmail.co.uk addy “personally inviting” me to “your site”. Yeah, like I’m stupid enough to fall for that tired old trick. Wowzers, you got mad skillz there bud. No really.

    And this whole “gnaaaarf you posted a response and therefore proved my point durrr”, is tired toddler shit. This sort of reverse-psychology only works on other 15 year olds. So stay in your age group if thats all you can come up with. But I’ll gladly keep “proving your point, in spades”.

    Now, off to go masturbate to myself….for realz. Dog. *throws up gang signs*

    IF YOU ACTUALLY CARED ENOUGH If you had half a brain, you’d have done your research and found that this user handle was created specifically to fuck with Blub

    Fixed. Because writing some goofy comments on a blog, isn’t even close to enough to get me to put time into trying to figure out who you are, where you’ve been, who you insult, or why you picked your goofy name. Or to even care about you much at all. You’re lucky you even got a response at all.

    @ KKJK

    As one who is a little more technical than the average SL player and one, who on occasion, has been accused of being Deadlycodec (I never have worked this out, we have no similarities I know of) I fail to see why you are even attempting to stand up. I mean are you obsessively jealous? Or a rejected lover?

    Seriously, technical knowledge is worked at and you so obviously haven’t. You want to bring it on? At least prove you can dig your heels in!

    Standing in front of a bulldozer, holding up your palms, whilst being pushed over a cliff and shouting “Awww look at how powerful the driver thinks he is!” will not stop the dozer, nor will it stop you from going over the edge.

    So I would politely suggest you STFU and return to whatever little hole you crawled from. Because, I am looking forward to posts from the likes of GLE on how these mafia groups will be driver from the shores of the mainland by the supah zeros. (BTW I got the dozer so the spandex lot can’t use it)

    “As one who is a little more technical than the average SL player and one, who on occasion, has been accused of being Deadlycodec (I never have worked this out, we have no similarities I know of)”

    People are still being accused of being me? You’ve got to tell me the story dude. Was it JLU? Was it after you started hosting the wiki, and if so, you think the two are connected? Damn, they get paranoid. I knew that they had people in their little meetings speculating about my presence in SL as late as mid 2009, from what I saw of the wiki. Very funny. I don’t think they’ll ever believe I’m gone lol.

    “Standing in front of a bulldozer, holding up your palms, whilst being pushed over a cliff and shouting “Awww look at how powerful the driver thinks he is!” will not stop the dozer, nor will it stop you from going over the edge.”

    ^ This analogy is a work of art. I couldn’t help but smile. I tried to articulate the thought, but couldn’t really, and didn’t want to come across as threatening, since I have no intention of bothering anyone. Thanks man.

    Jun 3rd, 2010

    @ Deadly
    Yes some are, funny really. Mostly through my former blog (comments). Most proxied. But I am guessing they was JLU types or other such stalking retards (who like to stand in front of bulldozers).
    I think 07/08 was the first accusation (can’t remember now, not so important).
    Usually it was on stories I wrote about so called upstanding people (anti-griefers) or poorly oppressed stalkers who fail at stalking – XD.

    I am glad you like the analogy, I was attempting to make it understandable to the simple man. No thanks required – XD.

    Bring on the next one, I say!

    I wouldn’t equate Rachel Corrie with the spandex squad, other than that both suffered from naive and simplistic views of the world, but the spandex squad never stood up against the G-Team’s oppression, they were instead quisling collaborators.

    @Intlibber – every time you try to pin your problems on somebody else, I’ll be there to call you on it.

    Some people just can’t function in any mode but total denial – I guess you’re one of them. The Lindens kicked your butt, and the JLU apparently kicked your butt, and the PN kicked your butt, and your own investors kicked your butt (though you kept their money from the Ponsey scheme you were running), and by now your butt must be pretty sore.

    Herald, as always you never got the other side of the story, 187 never took our MAIN group, infact this group served as a dummy.. My Underboss Atlas Starfall was also the Underboss of 187 although he had no dedication to those foolish retards. DD told Atlas the day before this all happened that if he somehow managed to take down our family group then he would award him with ownership of 187, So of course.. we took the opportunity and created a “Dummy group”. We then filled this group with one or two of our LEGIT members and then the rest were simple alts, But you see… being DD.. Once we gave him the group through Atlas (DD did NOTHING to harm our group) he took this as a Victory and cried out to the world. Believe what you may, but Carona is still running and we’re running well, As for Sephora they are out of the picture as you may have noticed.
