#Yoyohack
What is this?
A badly written spambot.
How does it work?
YYGF had a bad flood control mechanism - if you pressed the reply button rapidly then 5-6 posts would get through. Then I figured I could make a spambot if I could send asynchronous AJAX requests.
What is YYGF?
An obscure forum that had only a dozen users before it was shut down. Archive
Why does it look like it's written by a 13 year old?
Because it was written by a 13 year old. At least the latter part. I had no idea how the code actually works I just needed something that would send a form without refreshing the page so I copied the code from a website (credits to Pukos) This was almost a decade ago.
What was your motivation?
Revenge + a lot of immaturity.
Why was it shut down?
It was shut down because of a hacking attack. Not mine though. A guy named Patrick was much more sinister in this and he hacked the forum's user database and that's why it was shut down.
Did they ban you?
Yes but I was granted amnesty. (spoiler: Patrick was too)
Have you participated in any recent attacks on YYG?
No.
