Aug 05, 2011 NO-REZ KILL & GRIEFING SCRIPTS IN SECONDLIFE CodeMeRight. Voodoo Security In Second Life ★ A Griefing System ★ Second Life Griefing - Duration: 1.
A regular Second Life sandbox user and long term creator reported to us several months ago that she had witnessed hackers attempting to send a denial of service attack to our server from the sandbox she was working in. It was reported to Linden Labs at the time, but due to the nature of the problem, really there is not much that they can do to stop it, so no resolution was implemented. A few days ago, the same person witnessed this attack again and after seeing it happen over several months, decided to create a well thought out JIRA report to suggest a way that it could be resolved. The owner of Voodoo (the website being attacked in the screenshot) was asked to comment about the attack and we encouraged people to vote for the issue in our group chat. Some people posted messages of support of the feature. In comes the Green Zone griefers.
Although the Second Life JIRA is a tool to be used strictly for reporting bugs and feature suggestions, the Green Zone members hijacked the JIRA to make personal attacks, insults and other unhelpful comments. The comment below from Cyborg Renfold is particularly confusing, as he has been known on several occasions to stalk and publish peoples real life names and addresses in the Green Zone Users group chat. The moderators then refuse to eject him. Today I was contacted by Anastasia Howlett, one of the owners in the Green Zone Users group who recently attacked our server (see previous post). In the chat text below they deny the evidence from our server log, claim to have handled their griefer problem and admit to probing our systems with a proxy server. Multiple nameless threats are posted to us on our website everyday. The examples below were posted to us on 2nd May 2012, from IP address 90.168.94.93 which resolves to Orange ISP in Spain, using Mozilla Firefox.

He isn't just a criminal, he is really mad Created: Wed, 2 May 2012 08:13 As Linden Lab is missing and do nothing, you are going to be reported to RL police Created: Wed, 2 May 2012 08:17 You aren't griefers, you are criminals 4. On 24th April 2012, a well known Green Zone Users group member forced their way into Voodoo Anti Bot group after being ejected several times and evaded our moderators attempts to disable their text.
2012/04/24 08:35 sarina Voorhees: stop voodoo 2012/04/24 08:36 sarina Voorhees: are scammers and treaters 2012/04/24 08:38 sarina Voorhees: asshole 2012/04/24 08:44 sarina Voorhees: bye bye voodoo soon on the end. From the 16th to the 23rd April 2012, the below instant messages were sent to Monkey Wonder, some of it sent while the avatar was standing in the Voodoo Mainstore. 2012/04/16 05:23 Joan Arias: Abuse report for you 2012/04/20 11:00 Joan Arias: /me looks at the monkey and laughs, laughs, laughs, and can't stop laughing of this stupid thing 2012/04/23 07:51 Joan Arias: nh, just taking pictures for the next AR 2012-04-24 19:24:16 Joan.Arias: lol, you are like a tick, but ticks have more ethics than you 2012-04-24 19:24:46 Joan.Arias: do you sleep by nights, Monkey? These are just two examples of personally directed verbal abuse from prominent Green Zone Users group members, it is a daily occurrence and all instances of this kind of griefing are too numerous to list here. If you are a member of Greenzone, these people are speaking on your behalf. A moderator of Green Zone, Anastasia Howlett attempted to hack our website in April 2012 by creating an LSL script that made automated requests to the Voodoo Sploder verify page. The web requests came from IP address 216.82.45.162 (sim9828.agni.lindenlab.com) The HTTP headers contained:- X-SECONDLIFE-OWNER-NAME: Anastasia Howlett X-SECONDLIFE-OWNER-KEY: cddc859c-577f-40ab-872c-03889319db25 This form of griefing has been carried out by other members of the group in the past, but this is the most recent case.
In March a similar attack bought the Sploder network down for 2 hours. This is not related to a network issue we experienced in 2011, (ref. ). Sending denial of service attacks is illegal in most countries and this activity has been reported to Linden Labs and the police. Several prominent Green Zone Users group members have begun a flaming campaign against us on Twitter, which we have tried to give minimal response to. The accounts used often have almost no followers, but they usually use popular hash tags to ensure an audience and promote malicious blogs.
Second Life Griefing Tools
A small extract. Imnotgoing Sideways is a Green Zone griefer group member and SLU flamer, his/her Second Life profile reads 'I'm not nice. You won't like me. Trust me on this.' They sell two low quality free items on Second Life Marketplace with reviews like 'Didn't do what its supposed to!' And 'Didn't work'. Potosi Abonwood is a prominent GZ griefer, although only has 8 Twitter followers, seems to be able to post effectively tagged tweets indicating this could be an alt account created to flame people. They have also created a malicious 'adult rated' blog in which they continuously flame Voodoo using false information.
In answer to those tweets, we use comment moderation because we are being targeted by griefers, and the blog is hosted on blogger.com to keep the 'gz orientated drama' content away from our main website and increase visibility in search engines. During 2011 Green Zone Users group attacked a security business in Second Life called JLU (Justice League Unlimited) and all their customers because they had developed a security device called PhantomZone that wasn't acceptable to green zone's standards. This was another case of GZ acting on rumour alone. Below is a notecard forwarded to me from a PhantomZone owner, which he was forced to pass on to all his visitors after being griefed by Green Zone Users group. The Green Zone Hud – Griefer Trick The GreenZone Hud is a tool that has been developed by griefers in order to locate and identify Security Devices used to prevent griefing. When an anti griefing security device is located the HUD wrongly identifies the device as spyware.
Do not let these griefers fool you by getting you to assist in spreading their lies. The Green Zone Group was formed by griefers in order to trick otherwise good people to do their bidding, by getting sims such as ##### to lower their defenses, making the sim more susceptible to griefing attacks.
Please pass this on to any of our patrons who voice concerns over our security devices and assure them we are not violating their privacy in any way, shape or form. Further reading about JLU's problems can be found at the links below: Part 3 - In the pipeline.
