Having an imaginary relationship with a flickr person. (Stalking ?)

This tutorial/manual will go over the very basics of stalking someone on flickr. It's simple, and you can't get herpes from flickr. I have lots of reasons for doing what I do, but I figured it's more interesting, how I do what I do. There is only one strict rule to this "game", DO NOT MAKE CONTACT - YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER CREEPY AND UNNACCEPTABLE. No matter how endearing you believe you are, you aren't. You're just a creep. It's best to be a happy alone creep. Or a broken depressed alone creep....without a restraining order.

Look through flickr for a subject, you might want to start on the Most Recent Photo page. It's best to choose someone with at least 1000 photos. Don't watch the videos at first, I'll talk about videos in closing. Look through every photo, and extract information. Sometimes it will be blatant, like a skyline you recognize revealing the place they are at. Sometimes things will be subtle, always look for writing in the background. Any sort of information that might reveal more about there personality, habits, hobbies, medications, and work(More about medications below). Pay attention to things like, what tv shows and books are in the background, or what programs are running on there computer, and if you get a picture of the dock or the task bar, study it for things you can figure out about them, like creative programs, like photoshop or Reason. Often times you will get pictures of food, a good indication of diet, let's you know if there vegan or on a macrobiotic diet or whatever. Are they messy, are they neat? Keep notes in a notepad/TextEdit.app/gedit file, if you have a bad memory.


Adding them as a contact on flickr, or favoriting a photo, is probably okay, just for your convience of finding their page...however, favoriting 500 of their photos is not ok. Dead give away you're a weirdo. You don't want to be on the radar, no matter how much you think you do.

If you divine there real name from the photos, or account info, use pipl.com to do a search this will reveal all there other online accounts. If you don't have there name use there flickr screen name to search on other social networks. Last.fm is my favorite because I can compare musical tastes. Some social networks, like facebook, etc are to revealing about the person to have an idealic imaginary relationship with them, so stay away from these.

The best place to look up what medications is always google, just don't go to the pharmaceutical companie's website about the drug, that's never interesting, you want a wikipedia site or medical site. By the way, if you just get a shot of the pill imprint code, the best place to look that up on is rxlist.com. Of course the best way to glean information from medications is just being familiar with drugs in general, and if you're reading this you probably have a pharmocopia your self, so that shouldn't be an issue.

If you see that they have a boyfriend, or girlfriend, just innundate that person with horrible qualities, and pay particular attention to shots, were they are together but unhappy.

FAQ:

Ok this guide was awesome...so awesome in fact now I'm madly passionately in love with this person, what the fuck did you do to me? FIX IT!

Ok so this is what the videos are for, video's are the fastest thing to help you find faults in someone. Like a horrible southern drawl you didn't expect. Go through the pictures one more time and look for things that just annoy the piss out of you. Like something they wrote that was incredibly unclever, or conji tattoos. Or look at that endearing picture of her crying, and think "That's just a crazy crying bitch, would hate to deal with her shit all the time". It helps

Is this healthy?
Probably not, no.

Are there advanced techniques not included in this manual/tutorial?
Yes, but it's probably unethical to post them on the intarwebs.

Why the focus on Medications?
Usually people who have thousands of pictures of themselves publically available online, have a screw loose. I mean look at me for fuck's sake.

Any practical applications for this "game" ?
I guess if one were so inclined, by building scenarios in your head, like seeing your subject at a fair and then implanting yourself at the fair and thinking about the fun you would have would be it's own reward. Ok not really, but something it would help with, is if you had to lie on the spot about a whole day or thing that happened. With the memory of pictures you can add a level of detail and complexity to your lies that make them very believable.

Why would I do that?
You're reading a post on a hacker culture blog, about having a fake relationship with someone who has a flickr account....I'm pretty sure fucked up shit happens to you a lot, and some of that probably involves lieing.

Why do you do this?
I have problems...lots and lots of problems, and it's pretty much a good thing I never meet these people.

You're a fucking psychopath.
That's not a question.

Some Bad photography of mine, and my nxt stuff

I took a couple shots of my NXT face I made. Video with functionality soon.

Hardware Hacking Badges

I don't think they had the best design, but they had the most style, and two of my favorite new friends.
My favorite because I met them the first night. Heise of Evil Council Org Jason Bourne'd that som' bitch. And wrapped his hand in cloth and punched the glass out of the clock. Jordan was the co author of this flava-flav style hack, and his web residence is semicomplete.com. I noticed he has a lot of arp security stuff, which of course is close to my heart. Click the Pic for the whole flickr series.

It seems that Heise's main residence is really his blog.

Creative Network Diagram

Job hate, originally uploaded by bsdpunkblog.

Ok so in actuality traffic was not rerouted through the altigen (a hybrid POTS/VOIP) phone system, it felt that way becuase it would multicast to every device on the network, every few seconds with 8 packets, and honestly, that's a shitload of garbage traffic. And while it still maintains my greatest hate for a network device(really just a crappy windows 2000 server with some proprietary grossness on top), the Juniper Netscreen 25 was fast approaching the same title. The punch boards were ugly and unprotected and the dell and net gear switches drove me crazy. So I drew this diagram, with some artistic license.

Blocked on IRC? Need a quick and dirty solution? Proxy to complicated?

Well, if you have a shell you are in real good shape, particularly one that you can install things on. Enter Pork. Here is a quote from the pork readme:

WHAT IS PORK?
-------------

pork is an ncurses-based AOL instant messenger client. It uses the
OSCAR protocol (the one the windows client uses) to access AIM. Pork
features Perl scripting; an online help system; the ability to
configure nearly all aspects of the program's look-and-feel; an alias
system; and a powerful, fully-configurable key binding system. It
supports being logged in with more than one screen name at the same
time. The default look-and-feel of the client is modeled after the
ircII IRC client. Anyone comfortable using ircII (or any clients
derived from it -- e.g., epic, BitchX, etc.) will feel comfortable using
pork.

pork now supports IRC. The syntax for connecting to an IRC server is
/connect -irc [:[:]] [... [:[:]]]

The look-and-feel of pork is pretty much a complete ripoff of
the the look-and-feel of the excellent mw4.irc script for the epic IRC
client by Amber Adams . All credit for it goes to her.

_______________________________________

So basically you can ssh into your linux box, install pork, and use it as a pseudo proxy to get around those pesky kick bans.

Oh and if you have been wondering what I have been doing lately I have been trying to keep my flickr up to date, so check it out.

The internet is a strange place.

WTF? How did this low res ad for "Hot Christians" get on my fucking facebook. I mean isn't the whole point of facebook to have ads targeted at me. So then I log int to flickr to upload the damn pick and look who my newest contact is http://www.flickr.com/photos/success_breeds_success/ I mean really, really what the fuck is this because of the video from last night on WereBoobs

About Me and The Blog

So all the SEO lit. that I read says that for a blog to be credible an about me page is needed, and I really think the one blogger supplies is insufficient. So here is a little biography on me. I am 23 years old and I live in Nashville, TN, USA. I have my A+ Certification, Network+ Certification, and my MCP. I also have a 2 year degree in Computer Networking and Security. I am employed as a Network Consultant. Though the majority of what I put on this site, has nothing to do with all that, most of the stuff on the site is just for love of mischievous knowledge. The things I put on this site cannot be learned from certifications or traditional education. I think that most mischievous computer users, are not traditionally trained. And while traditional knowledge certainly helps, is definitely not required. I started the blog on the 22nd. As to disseminate some of my knowledge of the dark arts, and to try to illuminate something on the underground culture, that I partake in. So I try to focus on this blog being a, hacker culture blog, but really what I mean by that, is a culture of one. Because I think the mischievous computer users are vastly different from one another, and focus on a few key elements, like DIY, and constant, online connection, but even those aren’t certain in this culture of one.
Ok so what about my culture. I am not a huge anime fan, like some, but I dabble. I love food, and the great thing about having a blog that people from 98 different countries have visited, is I can talk to them about what they eat, whether a Macedonian treat or a Lebanon feast. I also like looking at flickr pictures as you can tell by my amount of favorites and comments on flickr. I own three domain names, none of which I know what to do with. 9unkz0r.com, mechanicalpinata.com, and censored. I know that one day censored will have a list of all my projects on it. So that’s me, if you want to send me a shout out with a little about you go ahead.

ZOMG I got mentioned in another blog!

This time I am not even being made fu...err analyzed. This is a blog on computers behind blogs, ok ok to much inside baseball. I'm sorry. Anyway if you want to check it out here you go. Computers Behind blogs.

If you can tell which two pics are mine, I will give you....satisfaction of being superior.

ZOMG I am getting slammed!

Someone making fun of my t-shirts! The one's that say "I need anti virus like I need a mix tape from a fat chick"
http://contexts.org/socimages/ It's actually a pretty neat blog, and defiantly no hard feelings.

EDIT Cross that, ZOMG! I am getting Analyzed. (If you don't understand check the comments)

Hacking Flickr metric "Intrestingness"

The best blog I have seen on this so far is the SEO of the sea. And the best part of that is describing the patent:

Interestingness rank is based in part on:

* The quantity of user-entered metadata concerning the media object,
* The number of users who have assigned metadata to the media object,
* An access pattern related to the media object,
* A lapse of time related to the media object, and/or;
* On the relevance of metadata to the media object.
* Whether the media contains undesirable content such as obscene imagery or promotions of a competitor’s product.

Another good one, is all about content blog. So the one place these two fundamentally disagree is the focus on WHAT USERS look at your flickr.

Ok so I have been doing some really "casual" interesting tests, but I haven't done anything hardcore. However, I am ready to, I am going to start building a python tool, using beej's flickr api and see if I can't narrow down a little better and give a little more clarity to the metric. I don't know if I will be able to get any good numbers out of this but I will learn something about the metric and have a good time.

zooomr.com comment

So I was obviously a little peeved about zooomr going down the day that I signed up and put all my pictures, and was exagerating on the time it was down. If you will notice the CTO and Founder put a comment on the post. Anyway that being said, I think zooomr is a better service than flickr. And if as he says the kinks are all worked out now I encourage people to use it rather than flickr.

Photoshoot one more pimp.

2, originally uploaded by bsdpunkblog.

So I really haven't gotten the turn out I wanted on my flickr page for the photoshoot. So I am going to pimp it one more time on the blog. Plus I am testing my new flickr blogger integration. Oh yeah and photography courtesy of Terri Cannon Photography.

Oh yeah and the photos are posted using a creative commons license.

Change from zooomr to flickr

http://flickr.com/photos/24973357@N02/sets/72157604250960677/

Sorry you guys but zooomr was down 10 of the 24 hours I had my pics on it so here is a new link, if you want the pictures in bigger rez just hit me up.

The flickr ones aren't as good because I did them in haste but I will upload the other goodies when I get time.(Also I had to resize them so if you want the full blown pics let me know)

zooomr.com

zooomr.com is down again, this is really disappointing. I will try to get a flickr account running. Man and I though zooomr was going to replace flickr :(.

flickr hackers

It seems flickr hackers a little peeved about the proposed microsoft yahoo merger.
