"That is really cool, albeit freaky also if I had something to hide."

Its a scary thing when you stop and think of someone having that kind of knowledge.

Years ago I was in a MSN room and some jerk kept coming in and screwing things up. He would get booted and banned, but he would be right back.
The jerk claimed that he couldn't be banned anywhere because he had access to over 11,000 IP addresses! It turns out Mr. Jerk was quite a geek and hacker, he could somehow collect and use other ISP accounts and link in from them.

Well, Mr. Jerk pissed off the wrong guy, a friend of mine from Canada was also there. We'll call him Mr. Canada.

Mr. Canada works for some sort of Canadian Intelligence Agency, he said he couldn't explain exactly what?

Mr. Canada within an hour had the Jerk's full name, address, and phone number. He also hacked into the guys PC and put a message in his email posting the last message that Jerk had put in the room, plus let him know that he knew exactly who he was!

Mr. Canada did this WITHOUT an email or address for Mr. Jerk, only a fake screen name! Mr. Canada did this without any help from MSN, and did it at home on his PC. He also explained to Mr. Jerk that he could, and would, hack into his puter and fry it if he ever came back to that room!

Never saw Mr. Jerk again.

Now that my friend is one serious Puter Geek!

PS...I still converse often with Mr. Canada, he's a big Harper fan.
