Found this link over at AppleGeeks. It’s essentially the transcript of an IRC chat between some IT-aware Germans and a wannabe script kiddie (a hacker for those of you who just went Huh?).

For those of you who are also not aware, the IP address 127.0.0.1 is your home addres i.e. how your PC knows itself. If you try to connect to 127.0.0.1 you are trying to connect to the machine you are on.I read this and had a big grin on my face - which I had to hide as I was at work at the time. In just goes to show that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Maybe this guy should get an IT Darwin award?
