MemberOk i been looken through this site for a couple days now and all i see is ytunnel this and ytunnel that… ytunnel is illegal to use for one(read terms of service for yahoo) for another chet simpson writes booters for his ytunnel programs decompile a few booters like smasher and then ytunnel u can see its the same programmer……for another to use tunnel u have to let it connect to the net is that a good idea to give a guy who writes booters a direct link to ur computer ports 80 and 81 are wide open when you use tunnel;….as yahoo up grades they will patch tunnel …………use java chat along with messanger and u wont have the problems plus messenger 5.6 is fine with out tunnel..usen auto featurs like answereing maching auto denying add buddy things like that make u appear to be a an advertising bot to yahoo and can lead to ur accout being locked for days…………for more information email me at j_hop_99@yahoo.com or u can ask here and ill reply but i check my mail once a day im not allways on this forum…..ok ill add this for the heck of it i have had a bad accedent breaken 4 fingers so until it heals my typing will be bad sorry…but finally one person replied who knows what happened at code red and it was terrorism where pc’s were used to attack government computer systems the story is long and i wont get into it go to a pbs site im sure u can get more info there….the people who keep maken fun of that are the ones who really need to go read up on code red and other attackes like it heres a link to what it was and is
http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010730.htmlif you insist on using or advocating the use of ytunnel make sure you allso let people know they need to use a firewall….Its simply not safe to run programs that connect to the net on there own that havent been writen by reputable programmers …look at the holes hackers find in profesional programs. it happens all the time and people writing software for yahoo on there pcs have no way to do the testing large companies do ……………..

KeymasterHow about, for more information, you post it here!? Why should we have to send you an email to get “more information?” Just post it here, please.

Memberwell jeff what would you like to know ive had four years of college computer science but i cant read ur mind lol
June 4, 2003 at 11:29 pm #95409Jeff Hester
KeymasterI don’t need to know anything. Your initial post implies that there’s more to know that you’re not sharing.
You don’t have to trust YTunnel. Personally, I don’t run it, but that’s my choice. There are many people who do run it and who are very happy with it. I know that there’s a lot of controversy around YTunnel, and we don’t shy away from that or try to shade things in any way. We simply share our own experience and observations.
So Chet Simpson wrote a booter? Maybe. So what? Does that mean he should never be trusted? That’s a personal choice that you have to make.

MemberI’m gettin tired of hearing these RUMORS about ytunnel, first it was made so people could view your webcam without your knowledge, now it’s this, i think people get jealous when someone makes a very successful program. My only beef with chet is he needs to work on locking up his registrations better. I have a friends in yahoo that make programs and sell them, and NO ONE ever gets them for free.
I have had dozens and dozens of yahoo programs and ytunnel is by far the best, some may have been a lil fancier but he really does a good job with it. And logically i would want someone who makes booters designing an anti-boot program cause he would be very knowledgeable on the subject, and also he could make new booters, test them on his program, and then patch them from working in his next update.
And as far as patching the program, a guy i know made a rating booster in games and he sold a lot of copies of it, and then it got patched by yahoo, and supposedly he was in legal troubles with yahoo, and he was legally obligated to upgrade his prog, or the people who bought it could either sue him, or get their money back. I wonder if chet covered his butt with people buying this prog, i remember maybe seeing were he said u might have to pay more money for future upgrades so he prolly has, smart guy!June 5, 2003 at 2:59 am #95445j_hop_99
MemberUsing ytunnel simply leaves ur computer open to hackers and no im not implying im leaving any thing out i just figured if people wanted any questions answered id give them a way to ask……………and as far as the rest of the fools telling me this is a rumor lol im a programmer and have decompiled chets little program lol and its a joke it is illegal to run and any one endorsing it needs there head examined………..open ports are allways bad……to:Johnson READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR YAHOO YTUNNEL IS ILLEGAL TO RUN CHET CANNOT COPYWRITE ILLEGAL SOFTWARE LOL U PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THE LAWS

MemberI’ll endorse ytunnel to anyone of my friends, a few have bought it, if people wanna hack into other people’s pcs, for the most part they already can, but they should remember it’s illegal as hell and it’s not worth the risk. If you would read some of the other posts on this site you would see were me an jeff basically agreed that everyone has broken the tos in one way or another already. So basically no one should run this program because it breaks yahoos tos, yahoo is perfect now isn’t it. They should just keep letting lame 12 year old kids boot them off messenger all day? lol Sad part is that there is a need for a program like this at all. The advertisements don’t bother me a bit, yahoo has to make money some how, they do have an awesome website and don’t get as much credit as they deserve, they get more hits then any other site online. Thats the sad part these punk kids as well as adults an who knows who else booting people off messenger.

MemberAnd also, I have no life, and if someone has enough free time to sit around and read the tos, they need some serious therapy LOL

MemberOk two days ago i was in a yahoo chat room some one scaned every ip in that chat room for open ports 80 and 81 we tracked there ip address back to korea north korea to be exact now if u were there ur computer woulda been hacked that fast i do not want terrorists usen my computer as a server to do destruction thats all but seem to think thats ok ……………
June 5, 2003 at 3:32 am #95414magistyk
Memberj_hope_99, somehow I doubt terrorists would use your computer for destruction, think about it? What are the odds of that? And if they were going to use computers, they’d use major and big computers, such at corps or government.

Memberlmfao at the first post… chet didnt write smasher that was writtin by dazza….and im not sure but i think dazza used vb6 on them smasher progs and wow at u decompiling them i saw a add yester day a dude was offering 2,500.00 for a workin vb6 decompiler so if u got one u might wanna check into that =
June 5, 2003 at 3:37 am #95443j_hop_99
MemberOk im sorry u guys know so much more about the interent and computers then i do lol the odds are greater then u know did u ever hear of code red do search for that see what u get any where between 100000 and 1 million computers were hacked in that one little attack ……….see magestik its ur idea that oh they wont that lets em know they can maybe next time they will have a billion pcs hacked and be able to destroy power grids banking systems ect…software to make a pc into a server is easy to slip in and thats all it takes

Memberwow now they are getting funny any compiled program can be ripped lol u kids are hillarious go to college
June 5, 2003 at 3:40 am #95413magistyk
Memberj_hop_99, if your so smart, why can’t you make posts that I can understand, instead of a bunch of words jumbled together with …..? Second, its always about the user’s choice, thanks for giving out the information, supply some proper evidence and we’ll maybe make a news post about it warning people. But other than that, you’re just telling us something that could be false. We need hard evidence, screenshots, etc.
June 5, 2003 at 3:40 am #95441j_hop_99
Memberwow now they are getting funny any compiled program can be ripped lol u kids are hillarious go to college……..and any fool can put a different name on a prog but look at the code its like a finger print
