Ah yes, a classic remote file inclusion exploit. Nothing new, but fun to see in the wild as of 2023.
Removing the Apache config was a bit anticlimactic considering that the thing the OP did is illegal itself. If you are after a vigilante justice, I would suggest doing something substantial like exposing the identities or tipping of the authorities and most importantly: don't reveal your own identity. Back in the day when the internet was mostly a lawless place you could have done something like that and recoup the c…
Author here. I did wrong. And I'm sorry I didn't stay on the right side of the law. I advise against doing the thing I did. I know it can be found on archive.org. I removed the post so people don't follow it for "guidance" on how to break the law. Sorry to everyone. I wish I could remove this post from hacker news. It is a dark page for me today.
I'm not anti-vigilante, its always fun to read about people going after the scammers but the clout of it isn't worth advertising it with your real identity.
where should I contact Italian authority? there's this malicious person who damages other people's property without legal justification.
This is well-meant, but the author seems to be based in Italy, and this is illegal in Italy [1]. I know how tempting it is to retaliate against these people, but you have to stay on the right side of the law. If you choose not to stay on the right side of the law, then at a minimum you really should avoid blogging about your crimes. [1] https://iclg.com/practice-areas/cybersecurity-laws-and-regul...

I expect it will all blow over.
Being a vigilante is great, but there's a reason Batman has a secret identity

Do you have anyone that can mentor you on such matters? This whole thing has a vibe of self-taught about it. I recommend finding someone older and more experienced to talk to... if for no other reason, than to avoid making mistakes that can put you in legal jeopardy.
That being said, I don't think anyone here thinks you're a bad person for wanting to clap back at scammers. We just want to emphasize caution and working within the law.
If you feel lost or alone, the community here is full of hackers of all stripes (and spots, and scales, and ...). You'll find someone you can vibe with pretty easily.

Quick, someone is jaywalking, call the police!
Apparently such an odd "crime" (banning people from walking in a public place) exists in some countries, where is seems you will have half a dozen armed police officers wrestle you to the ground for such an action. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6251431.stm
or being kept in a cell for 8 hours for jaywalking is crazy.
Now I jaywalk all the time, but let's not call it simply "walking in a public place". It has safety implication. It's dangerous for you, and it can also endanger / have severe implications on other people who haven't asked anything. Road safety is no joke and should not be taken lightly.

Thank you for flagging

But I guess none of us is qualified to answer such questions. Better safe than sorry.
Well, I am no member of law enforcement organisation, but I was really hoping to read that. Does anyone have a copy, by chance?
