Not very proud of this but thought I share

So about a year ago, word got out that I may or may not have been using TOR and the darknet markets to purchase any substances I could ever desire. While for the most part, people knew what it was, no one really bothered to look into it as college was some what abundant with goodies.

However, my one friend asked me to help me set up TOR and by then I was already using TAILs OS to do most of my business. It was easy enough to set it up for him, and he even paid me $20 to do all the "grunt" work. So eventually word got around and everyone started asking me to set up TAILs so they can make their MDMA fueled dreams come true.

It is really fucked up but I got the idea to install a keylogger into the OS. I'd set up the TAILs, make a copy of the PGP keys, wallet seeds, etc etc, then occasionally check the root log to see if they deposited any bitcoins. This happened over several months and I probably helped set up over 20 accounts.

I would take a note on the username and passwords of the markets my "customers" logged in to and would occasionally check the market to see if they had deposited anything. I would occasionally used the wallet seeds to see if there were any coins in the client. Eventually, I remember "stealing" over $5,000 worth of bitcoins in the span of 2 or 3 months. Of course people would angrily ask me why their coins were disappearing to which I told them that I warned them about phishing attempts and stuff like that. They couldn't do anything about it. After a while, most of the guys stopped using TAILs altogether and eventually it wasn't worth the time anymore.

So yeah. I'm a fucking evil asshole.

EDIT: They were friends of friends of friends. Word got out after the first friend I helped told everyone about it and my name popped up. I didn't fuck over anyone I personally knew.

Lemme clarify.. So I helped this one kid who was the epitome of a fratbro. Like seriously straight out of an 80s highschool sitcom. Would greet me with "nerd" and smoke all my weed saying he would pay me back with all the money he was going to make from his drug enterprise cough cough thanks to me. I mean yeah it wasn't a big deal, but I guess the last straw was when I overheard him talking to his brothers about how he has some nerd bitch setting up tor for him and how he wasn't even going to pay me for helping him out saying that just having exposure with his frat is good enough. I'm by no means a nerd or a geek, its just that this guy took being a fratbro to the extreme. So I came up with the idea and the fucked up part of me just decided to say fuck it, why stop at just him?

Damn, that's a pretty shitty thing to do. I will admit it was an interesting little read.

lolz fuck noobs lol if someone isn't smart enough to set it up themselves then they don't deserve to use dnm's

Imagine your mom calls a plumber and the guy comes over and provides a service - just a normal call. But your mom was kind of in a bitchy mood and wasn't very nice to they guy. Would he be justified in sneaking back into your house a few weeks later to steal your television? Bitch should have known how to fix her own toilet? Hell no.

Using the fact that this guy wasn't nice to you as rationalization to steal from people doesn't mean that you're morally ok. You're a fucking crook.

Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a shit about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.

I am in no way putting myself above these friends as far as intellect is concerned however I like the line in Rounders that went along the lines of "It would be a crime not to take their money"

Your actions are that of what Worm would do in that movie so from this point forward you will refer to yourself as worm. Please change your username to reflect this nickname that has been bestowed on you by a significantly more important person than yourself.

So what key logger worked on linux? The "tool" you just let run. The os is amnesiac, meaning the keylogger would of been wiped on shutdown. Cool story Hansel.

[3 Points] hushd_:

Would this be illegal? Ok I guess the money stealing part is illegal. But is it illegal to help people set up TAILS and tell them every step how it works to buy drugs of dnm. Especially when you don't take money for it.


[4 Points] Peace2Cee:

Holy shit, that's fucked up but smart as hell. They chose to listen, asking for your permission. Now look where it got they cash missin' ... Lolz !!

What if they Lowkey found out about Reddit and saw this post ..... LOL


[2 Points] attilathehunn:

What exactly did you do? On a technical level, like where do you get keyloggers for tails from?

What did you spend the money on?


[2 Points] None:

On getting access to the keylog you could have had everything sent to standard output stored to a text file or variable and used /bin/sendmail to send it to an email address.

Have written a lot of similar linux backdoors, remote administration bots I controlled thru text messaging. Nothing like having access to more roots to turn into your personal proxies.

Oh, thanks you for clarifying. You're clearly a stand up guy, well done!


[1 Points] hollstero:

I figure anyone who dabbles in something as unregulated as the dark net should be open to the possibility of someone fucking them in the ass. I've been scammed on it before and was just like "well I deserved that".

Still doesn't make it ok, maybe the fratguy, i'll give you that, but the rest is a lowball move, and you may not know it but keep it up and people will figure you out and all of a sudden you have a rep for being a untrustworthy scumbag, and no one likes those types.


[1 Points] tripleyump:

I'm a complete noob here, but I have used Linux and Live dists before. What exactly did they need help with in setting up Tails? Isn't it just like any other live distribution? You download it, burn or install it to a USB and then boot from the DVD/USB you put it on?

I don't see what they could possibly need help with. There are step-by-step instructions for how to do these things, and even one on the Tails website.

[1 Points] bhhoe:

they deserve it in every way just for being lazy as shit and not finding how to use tails themselvs. they deserved it and you made some money doing it. i applaud you


[1 Points] 2shonigh:

It's inaccurate to assume something about the whole of this guy's being based on this set of actions. It's not exactly great behavior, but making some blanket assumption about who he is doesn't make sense. The information required for that isn't here.

Between black and white, grey is there. Almost all human behaviors are in that grey area.

Also, it's very easy to stand in judgement of someone and say "Oh, well I've never..." I'm willing to bet that the people posting here all have shameful secrets that are a product of them at their worst. That isn't who you are just like this one act isn't who this person is.

Stop with the melodrama. I saw someone say something about HITLER. Get a grip.

Several years ago I had an acquaintance who left their darknet market login information written on a note on their computer desktops which they frequently left unlocked when leaving the room. This was who does not know I am The Black Hand or that I have any interest in the drug community at all, nor did I know they were drug users; it was just a very interesting lack of opsec on their part. I would be lying if I said I hadn't been tempted to log in and steal their coins as a lesson, but as a general rule I don't feel right cheating someone like that. This is interesting as it supports a minor theory I have developed over the years on morality. That once enough small moral concessions are made it becomes exponentially easier to make big concessions until something resets in your mind. I think that the Catholic practice of confession was a theistic means of resetting that moral concession counter in someone's mind back to zero, and the unwavering constant morality helped prevent the sliding as well.

That said, while I think that was a shitty thing to do on your part to the other people you helped, for the one who was trying to burn you I get it. Somebody does you wrong and you have the means of making yourself whole again without escalating the situation then there are no ethical issues making yourself whole again even at their expense.

TL;DR: Insane ramblings on morality and fuck that one guy who got what was coming to him, but you're right not to be proud of screwing over the other people.
