I recently wanted to use OpenAI‘s ChatGPT for teaching me reverse engineering and how to use IDA to deepen my understanding of programming. Well, all it said was that reverse engineering can be used to write hacks and something something intellectual property, then declined to help me.
I would rather build with OpenAI products rather than with Google products because if I use a Google product, I know that it will shut down in two years tops.
There are people who register domains like polizei-dortmund.nrw, set up a reverse proxy to a real police site, and set up a email server. Then, they send an official looking mail to discord.com‘s support with some made up emergency, like the person behind account X is a suicidal, depressive teen and one of their online-only friends reported to us (the police) that he intents to end his life. Then, discord instantly gives us the IP and even address (if they had purchased nitro), and we got that person doxxed.
This is a service available on the obvious scene boards. It’s classic social engineering, and I bet it works for these car tracking services too.
From what I understand OvO Systems runs a VPS host (cockbox.org) and after Krautchan shut down, Bernd rented a VPS on cockbox (since they allow anonymous payments) to host a Krautchan successor named Kolchan. So yes, OvO Systems hosts it, but the admin is not actively involved, similar to how the Hetzner admins aren’t involved in Plex movie warez services being hosted on Hetzner dedis.
Cock.li on the other hand is run by the OvO systems owner himself.
