#52Pentester/bug bounty hunter here. I appreciate that this is frustrating for the owner to experience, but this reads like normal internet noise to me, or at worst someone fired up burp suite and hit go on a website. Many, many commercial tools run these sorts of attacks en masse by default, some SaaS companies even do it as a product. The entire internet is being scanned constantly and many of those scanners have automated collections of attacks run against websites when discovered. I’m not say it’s right, but it is the reality we live in. I wouldn’t be taking it personally.

#53You probably need to calm down a bit. Everyone who has any kind of service on the open internet sees this stuff in their logs all the time. Most of it is entirely automated. That's just how the internet works.

#55Lovely, but naive. But naive in a way that most people (?) would like the world to be. But ultimately, unfortunately, unrealistic. Building has always been the kind of difficult that, had you known at the beginning then maybe you wouldn't have started. And still quickly and easily destroyed. Keep creating and building, otherwise there's nothing else to do. Love the obstacles for challenge of defeating them, don't hat…
> Lovely, but naive. it’s unbelievable to me that anyone would do this to him. are you familiar with what he’s done? the amount of work he’s put into helping people? you should dig a little bit more into the story before badmouthing someone.
I love the guy, I love mynoise, but he needs to chill out. Nobody "did this to him". This is almost certainly, like 99.99% certainly, just normal internet noise and he's just never noticed before. All sites get this sort of thing.

Re: What a Hacker Stole from Me
#57Recently I have had to live in a building with severe noise issues, and running appropriately EQed white noise on my speaker helped mask it and maintain at least some sanity and sleep. The mynoise app might not be the fanciest but it does exactly what it says without fail or frills, and works across devices. I don’t think I knew who made it when I bought it, but this story put a face on the app. When someone attacks…
I had long-term noise issues with the tenant directly above me. Periodically complaining to the office got sympathy but little else.
Then I created a iOs shortcut that sent a templated email to my landlord each time I told Siri "Loud neighbors." I was surprised at the effectiveness of 3 - 4 emails a week. I suspect it is one thing to shoosh someone while ushering them out of your office. It's another to have to respond to an email every other day.
Of course, your situation may not be a amenable to this strategy. Either way, I feel you brother/sister, and I wish you peace and quiet.

Sounds like we're the bad ones here.

It being common doesn't mean it's OK, it also doesn't mean people aren't allowed to be upset by it.
Casual racism and bigotry are common, "You probably need to calm down a bit" is dismissive and condescending.
