Sorry, I am a bit flustered by the whole situation, mostly embarrassed and this was definitely a time in my life I wish I could have put behind me.
As to what Gracious has posted, yes it is indeed malicious, but I meant I personally had never passed an infected file to another person (other then their own "file") that I had encrypted. What I was meaning to get at was, I did dabble with RAT's mostly to reverse engineer and understand how they worked - personally after seeing so many problems with skype and overall online security back in the day it interested me - I was a stupid teenager, bored and trying to learn about how people ended up hacked. I dabbled with many things on the site - I am not going to hide it, but I never used it on anyone other than myself. I never offered a service that would directly hurt people - but I admit it indirectly did and it's the same thing in this case.
I repeat, I had never done anything outside of testing it on my own server that I had used for botting - to see what exactly it was capable of, I did purchase a few, and I did sell the "license" back as well - this is probably the furthest I dove into truly doing things I regret. Six years ago, I was 17 and bored - while it is just my word, I have grown much since. I did not come back to Sythe other then to pick up a nice Runescape name (shoutout to
@Joshuaag1234 ) so I could play again.
My HF account was closed - not banned (I am pretty sure, although it was over 6 years ago) I knew that it was morally wrong to be on that site. And the things I learned up until then showed me how terrible things got.
The join date I was meaning to post is here:
http://i.imgur.com/chMe1e4.png - I was not there long, I joined there after I heard the pin suppliers on Sythe were buying them from HF sellers (I'll admit that I know that RS pins back then were very sketchy as they abused pay by phone - but it was the reason I joined and everyone did it).
[could you please delete this after admins see it]
Of course while I was playing Runescape I met people who understood coding and the black hat side of things, so I learned about encrypting files - the entire algorithm and encryption languages all stimulated me back then - I was decent at it and the only thing I had offered (if I offered something else, it must have been for a friend - at this point I don't think I did). - after I quit (anxiety and guilt) I sent off my source code to virustotal/norton (I checked paypal and I did not have a single sale of my services if there was any offered during the time).
I am very remorseful for what I was doing back then, if I did post anything on HF that is incriminating it was probably my teenage self speaking out my ass. I have grown tremendously since then (finished college, going off to med - told myself I wouldn't touch that side of computers again). If the choice is to keep me banned - I accept it, as it was still a time in my life although.
Quick thank yous:
@Yousuckv2 is really my hero, he's making sure no one gets away - the reason I initially left Sythe was when I got infracted for warning people about a MM who was scamming people doing BH trades.
@Gracious - for being quick to respond even though I now look like a shithead.
@Joshuaag1234 - for letting me know about the report and selling me amazing names while dealing with my anxiety.
