Probably have no servers to start with or do not understand the concept of internet security. Probably buying a low cost security services from one campnay based in thd US or probably using free internet security tools. Eg free SSL Certificate

Expulsion after facing THE PANEL straight up.
Great Futarians!!!

He didn't hack their website he only shot it down. He pinged it to death. He floded the website with pings.

Someone should sponsor that guy. If a girl can get scholarship after her sex video went viral, why shouldn't this guy?

Guy Shut up, you one of the village people crew. I'm very sure this guy is gonna become a successful blogger

Mayng01:
Final year! Village people succeeded on you finally.

Oga!!! stop this ahbeg

Even the teenager that hacked Twitter few weeks ago has been charged to court and if found guilty, he'll surely serve his punishment

No, nah you go stop it cos the guy hacked twitter with the help of an insider, premium time need to appreciate the guy to help them find their loopholes

DDOS attack are not really hack, with the right tool any idiot can do it

Shellsploit:
Ordinary DDOS attack...

Wheres my LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Canon) software sef..

Probably the guy access premium times websites directly as an admin because him get the username and password of premium time from the university without changing the university internet protocol from static to dynamic

So premium times were able to trace the logging IP details to that university

Bros, na wic work you dey do sef? I don dey suspect you oooo. The good vibes you dey give no be here.

Oh

DEEBOZZ:
Arrest him and all his family member.

The Cofounder of Facebook and Twitter that are way ahead of him didn't start by hacking people website.

It's high time we condemned an act of criminality.

If u think u have talent then invest it through the right means .

#ASP DEEBOZZ

Then explain why facebook, twitter and the likes have hackers working for them to protect their site?

GeneralPula:
If nah for yankee, they’ll turn him into a working tool..

They will jail him in Yankee. The 17-year-old guy that hacked twitter is already behind bars.

Learner hacker...what happened to proxy?

Instead mke the werey hack into our results and increase our g.p, na wetin no concern e go dey hack

Running a vulnerability scan is not an attack or hacking. It purely information gathering and it is a legitimate activity.

People do that everyday, to expose weaknesses in network entities or for research.

If It is true that, it was the act of scanning that lead to the DOS on Premium Times website, it means they subscribe to very small IOPS and resources from their hosting provider.

Dude, next time at the minimum use tor browser.

Leave Nigerians and their delusion. Each time a case like this comes up, they would praise the criminals, claiming that in 'saner climes' they would be trained, employed and 'paid heavily', bla, bla, bla...blabbing about how Nigeria kills talents...Truth is, no one in the so called 'saner climes' employs a criminal. Before you get employed in most areas, you go through some form of criminal record check. It could be standard or enhanced disclosure, depending on the sensitivity of the role you're applying for. These provide information about your status with the law. Enhanced Disclosure actually includes even spent convictions and police cautions, warnings, reprimands, even some driving offences.These would automatically disqualify one from many jobs. No one employs a cyber criminal, no matter how skilled, to run their IT system.

There's a world of difference between ethical and criminal hackers. No legitinste organization employs a criminal hacker..it's really simple, can you invest 200 million dollars in a business and hand the IT system over to a known criminal, even if he's as skilled as Bill Gates?

dewalexify:


No, nah you go stop it cos the guy hacked twitter with the help of an insider, premium time need to appreciate the guy to help them find their loopholes

No one does that. A criminal can't be trusted.The mind controls the body..That is really a low level IT activity but even if it's a high skill one, what he does with the skill is controlled by his sick mind..

ForeThinker:
he thats without sins to cast the first stone

So why bother chasing Boko Haram, Arned Robbers, kidnappers, Ritualists, Rapists etc?

It's a DDOS attack. That means he didn't have to access any of their applications or servers. He just rendered their endpoints unavailable for a while. it's a common type of attack though but he should have been more careful. Simple free VPN, NAT or IP spoofing tricks would have saved him. I guess he was only trying out a newly learnt skill. The university should also find other ways to punish misuse/abuse of resources without stifling learning minds.

Serve which punishment. Someone most whites are saying will get hired by FBI or private defense company through back channel.

Sorry for derail
Fellow nairalanders, pls help me verify this?

I'm asked to pay $18, but my instinct is telling me something different.. Thanks

Denial of service attacks are not hacks even niaraland has experienced it countless times peope who run DOS servers are looking for who will use them cos not everyone uses those things and also if premium times upgraded their own servers to filter out those empty request they won't have that problem in the first place

you made a misguided statement! carrying out a DOS attack does not make you a smart programmer or computer scientist!

There is nothing so special about a a DOS attack!

Nice one, other schools should emulate.

Dude used a Distributed Denial of Service.

Which come be admin username and password?

Talent dey waste dey go b dat o .

hacker that is still learning work that one no be hacker...

person that would HV been a millionair like hush baby by now hacking into banks.


this one no be real niggah he didnt smoke enough weed before he began.

mumu guy .

DDOS attacks don't require any admin credentials. The guy is probably a newbie trying out a new skill he discovered. This kind of attack could be a mild ICMP ping attack and not amplified DDOS.
A very skilled attacker with strong intent to destroy premium times would have used zombie bots hosts that are all over social media

For premium times website to be susceptible to a ICMP flood attack that could have been prevented with an IPS traffic black hole only shows somebody hasn't been doing his job.

What do I know
