Just to give you folks an idea of what I have to put up with as manager of thttpd...
On the evening of 27dec2003 I got a phone message from a Mr. Jarrod Duffy, 1-954-448-6980. The next morning I got another phone message from Mr. Shane Freitas, 1-209-649-2300. Both messages were full of weird accusations and threats, and were generally unintelligible. Mr. Freitas in particular is quite a mumbler. One of these people also phoned my parents and some of my neighbors! I replied to them via email. Here is the ensuing conversation, in full and editted only for presentation and privacy.

I'm guessing you meant to send the URL only once, and the right-paren
in between the two copies was another mistake.
I see a long list of domain names, none of which I recognize, followed
by a few message-board posts in a language unknown to me. Perhaps it
is Russian. Nowhere do I see anything connected to me.
>http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd
Yes, this is a freeware package that I wrote and distribute. Many thousands
of sites use it world-wide.
>http://www.acme.com/resume.html
Yes, this is my resume. It contains my phone number and address because
I don't mind people contacting me, unless of course they are abusive idiots.
Are you ready to explain what the problem is?

Yes, that site runs my web server, just like many thousands of

If this is what you are complaining about, then I'm afraid your
understanding of the internet is sadly lacking. Perhaps in the

I really have no idea.
My advice to you: seek professional help. Either an internet professional
who can explain your various misunderstandings and help you figure out
what is actually going on, or a psychiatric therapist who can help you
deal with your paranoia and anger management problem. Or both!
I believe our conversation is now completed, and I do not expect to

Why? I just want to know why?

If your innocent, then why?
1) is your website linked to a hacker's forum written in Russian? That is
taking credit for hacking my website! MY WEBSITE!
2) did you register at procra.com defending Dave [elided] & tag exchange,
when you aren't even a repossessor?
If you aren't directly involved, you are indirectly involved. You know who
did this to my e-mail and website.
I can't believe a homeowner since 1985 would jeopardize his financial
well-being to help out a drunken buddy.
Call me - I left you a message! My Cell # is 209-649-2300.
I just spoke wiht your father at # 510-[elided]; he gave me the # I already
left a v/mail on. Please - call me as I will be taking this information

This constitutes harassment. You will cease immediately or I will
file charges.
I am happy to discuss this in email. You can start by explaining exactly
what the problem is, in full detail. Assume I know absolutely nothing
of the background information, since I don't. Send me all relevant
URLs and emails. Leave nothing out. If this is about some posts
on a message board, then send me a precise pointer to them.
I got similar mysterious accusations from one Jarrod Duffy earlier today.
Is this related? He seemed to be a very confused and paranoid young
man. So far you are not making a better impression.

Jef,
I wanted to walk you through the information, via the phone; that's
why I wanted to talk. But if you wish to persue this legally, we
can go that route.
I am not trying to harass you. I want to speak with you regarding
an issue that points directly to you. You must be an intelligent
man, to be where you are today. I am a professional as well, and
want to discuss this in a professional manner. Your refusal to
co-operate could be construed as an admission of guilt.
Please - phone me we we can discuss this.
B.T.W. How did you know Jarrod's e-mail? He phoned you, but then
you refused to call him, instead e-mailed him? Hmn...This is
getting more interesting as time passes.

Again I am happy to discuss anything via email. I guess you are one of

instance I get to make the decision since it is you who wants to talk to
me. So, use email or go away.

Yes, it was around for a few years but I had to temporarily turn it off

turn it back on again after I upgrade my hardware.
>Do you still handle incoming e-mail's for: "cliffdiver@acme.com"?
I see there is a mail forwarding account by that name. As far as I know
it is currently disabled along with the rest of the forwarders. Your
mail to that address should have returned a bounce message - did it?
>Do you know a Dave [elided]?
No.

Click here first: http://mazafaka.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6029&sid=f3cdab1c65d5d0bb743ab40404108a
you will see quite a list of allegedly "hacked" websites. Just below the list
of sites, click on: "my playlist",
which takes you here: http://hot.ee/megadeath/playlist
bottom left, click on "thttpd/2.21b 23apr2001", and it will take you here:
http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/
THE ACME WEBSITE! Remove "/software/thttpd/ and you got Jef's
website, or Acme's website.
Somehow you are involved, whether directly or indirectly, with that
list of hacked websites, which has my website on it. That's how
I'm now involved. Although I haven't seen anything noticeably
different with my website, my e-mail service is down.
AGAIN - Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shane Freitas
P.S. - I see why you don't want to talk to me on the phone; easier
to "side-step" via e-mail.
P.S.S. You are good at what you do - I'll give you that. Just
don't ever miss a car payment, that you'll get the opportunity to
see just how good I really am.

It matters because, as I said, I need to track down who is spreading
this story about me and see what else they are saying.
Answer now.

Ok, you are now filtered. If you follow up on your silly talk
of legal action, you will no doubt encounter someone who is willing
to explain to you what an idiot you have been. When that day comes,
an honorable man would write letters (not phone calls) to my parents
and neighbors apologizing for harassing them. I think we both know
that you are not that man.

Mr. Poskanzer,
From what I have been able to gather from this BS is that some sites got
hacked into on Saturday. To what extent, I have no clue. Someone was able to
follow a entrant back to some Russian hacker forum and in clicking around
came upon a link to a site of yours.
It just so happens that I, also in the recovery business, signed on for an
"acme" mail address sometime ago and used it to surf various industry forums
in anonymity.
Apparently these two investigative savants stumbled on the fact that
acme.com was being used on the forum in question and also somehow linked
within this Russian forum. I spoke with Mr. Frietas by phone earlier today
and explained the connection to him. However, I don't believe he is capable
of understanding very much at all. The Recovery Industry is very competitive
and you can always tell that someone is treading water when they think
everyone is out to get them.
Forget these guys and concentrate on your work at the Acme Labs.
Regards,
Dave [elided]

For such an intelligent man, you sure aren't very bright.
Things have been cleaned up here A LOT since way back when; that, and
you don't see me posting as much as I used to "CliffDiver".
B.T.W. -> I appreciate all the Viruses you helped spread! If it
weren't for you, I would have never ran accross this Pozkanzer dude
that is killlin' me with Virus's right now. For that, I am forever
grateful CliffDiver.

I can deal with your fatuous statements as such. Others might not.
Did it ever cross your mind Shane, that the reason this Posanker
dude is gunning for you is that you shot your mouth off before you
had any facts?
Once and for all Cupcake, viruses are not my style. Even if I knew
how to send them. Stop feeling so damn self-important. Or is
everybody just out to get you?

I would have never run accross the Psycho if you hadn't of tried
some B.S. he was offering on his website; and inevitably, he was
introduced to the (this) repossession community; therefore, you
can take responsibility for that.
Don't you find it a bit coincidental this same man is associated,
in some way, with some people that hacked my website (along with
quite a few others)???
Coincidental? Indeed...
Funny how this Psycho then shows such compassion for you, and goes
out of his way not to mention your name on his website? Wow - yet
more coincidence? Indeed...
There's more to the story, huh? Just tell me already...

If you believe someone using an email routing server to be B.S.,
or the process itself, oh well. I will take responsibility for
using it. Along with the ACME License Plate Maker. The ACME labs
offer alot of features.
YOU, and you alone cupcake, must take reponsibility for your own
actions and any wrath you may have brought upon yourself. Yes
there is "more to the story, huh? Just tell me already...".

"I am not gay" is your best reply? (Paraphrasing of
course.)
This is the best line from the thread Dave linked to:
"Apparently these two investigative savants stumbled on

"Investigative savants." Classic. I couldnt read it all,
there was too much of it. Maybe someone else has a
different favorite?
I cant believe Freitas and Duffy wasted this guy's time like
that. Way back when Shane first posted his lame suppositions,
I followed the link to acme and immediately after reading
Mr. Poskanzer's resume knew that Shane was mistaken--this guy
is famous in certain circles. I almost replied to inform
Shane, but cancelled my post when I realized, as is
pointed out so eloquently above, he would not get it
anyway.
I had the first clue to Mr. Poskanzer's innocence is this
affair upon glancing at the name of his domain name,
acme.com. When do you think he bought that domain? Last
year? You know acme right, as in the best, the pinnacle. As
in Wile E Coyote. As in domain is unavailable, please try
another. Geez. Acme was probably one of the first names to
be sold when
DARPA released internet technology to the public--just
after Al Gore invented it.
Mr Freitas' and Mr Duffy's exchange with Mr. Poskanzer is an
embarrasmnet to the repossession industry. On behalf of the
more rational faction of the repossession industry, however
small it may be, I extend my apologies to Mr. Poskanzer.
That's all so far. If any of you have occasion to exchange further words with Mr. Duffy or Mr. Freitas, I'll be happy to publish it here.
