Journal tomhudson's Journal: Why is Peter Alexander Kowalski looking for a botnet? 79
APK (the "hosts file spammer") has spent more than a decade trying to get people to depend on his "hosts file solution" to counter malware and viruses.
Here he is spamming the register over Windows 7 release parties, of all things. Just one of many examples you can find.
Why does he do it? Well, let's consider some facts.
First, a hosts file does not protect you.
Second, if you depend on it for protecting your computer, you're a nice target of opportunity.
Third, it's possible to determine if someone is using his hosts file by serving some javascript to any client machine that visits.
Now, couple that with his most recent stupidity - claiming I run a botnet because I worked for the Russians for 3 years, and trying every which way to goad me into giving him access. Is he misinterpreting my references to Soviet Kanuckistan?
Maybe DHS would be interested in having a talk with the misogynistic pig. After all,he's admitted he wants access to a botnet.
Just remember, if you reply to him, do so anonymously. It drives him nuttier than he already is - and if you reveal your account, he'll stalk you too. He's already posted 38 anonymous messages in the last day and a half - with about half of them being in the last few hours.

You know, if we play this right, we could keep replying AC to APK for days, if not weeks, making him wonder how/if/when Barbie actually gets to sleep.
Did it ever dawn on you that maybe others are in fact replying AC precisely because you will incorrectly think it is Barbie?
Poor APK, I think he even trolls himself. (Score:2)
Seeing as that's apparently what started his latest crapflood last week (someone posting something AC against him and he freaks out), I can believe it. He's up to to something like 50-60 in the last day and a half.
Of course, he thinks that saying I troll him is somehow a "bad thing". Trolling a blog-spammer like him is always a "GOOD THING (TM)". And since he's not logged in, he hasn't seen the url my sig has been pointing to since he started :-)
And he wonders why nobody believes him ...

Well, if "been with" includes slobbering over a stolen copy of Playboy in your mom's basement, I'll concede that point. Otherwise, it's quite obvious that you're afraid of women, especially the evil nurses who want to tighten your restrainers.
