Minecraft's Most Notorious Hacker
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2021
- On October 12, 2016, a massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack left much of the internet inaccessible on the U.S. east coast. The attack, which authorities initially feared was the work of a hostile nation-state, was in fact the work of the Mirai botnet.
This attack, which could potentialy have taken down the internet in a way never before seen..was started because of...Minecraft. - grew more powerful than its creators ever dreamed possible.Anna Sempai made millions of dollars as a Minecraft hacker. It's a story of unintended consequences and unexpected security threats, and it says a lot about our modern age\

I just watched everyone of your videos and find your content to be some of the most interesting stuff on RUclips... how tf has this channel not blown up?!
Thank you Daniel! Im stoked you love em!
Im going to be putting out some longer videos soon so watch out!
The youtubes gods havent blessed yet lol
I have to agree with Daniel. I have not watched them all yet, but the ones I've watched appear to be well researched and are engaging to watch.
Give it time. The algorithm is working in Vince vintage’s favor. I watch a lot of investigative stuff so maybe that’s why.
It will blow up I’m sure
@@VinceVintage yeah
The Feds should offer him a job after his community service is over.
Keep your enemies close and all that.
No way dude. I hear votting machines pat better. They need to "adjust" the 2024 ellection somehow 🤪
Kinda what they did with Frank Abagnale Jr. with check fraud, I assume.
They actually did. The guy that did this grew up in my hometown and went to high school with some of my friends. Apparently he’s working with the feds now
@@tavirosu25 You had to bring politics into this, didn't you?
@@yapflipthegrunt4687 yep and by the way FBI is scum.
i literally remember that day, i was supposed to take a county test😂 but because the internet was down we couldn’t, and i remember my teacher saying it was probably some kid who didn’t wanna take a test
well, he got half of it right
@@freddy4603 literally 😂😂
Are you telling me you only have one option for internet in your country?!
@@samholdsworth420 In the video, it says that the only undersea cable into the country was down (Assuming it's the same country)
This happened with me but with Mcas so we had to suspend it for a day-
I'm an older IT guy, had heard of Mirai here and there but never the whole story. This filled in so many blanks and was entertaining as hell, thanks dude!
Hi
@FemonicRBLX Roblox pfp clown.
@@mirai437 hello
I'm watching
Hi, I am a 13 year old and would like a job in IT and was wondering if you could create a document that would explain somethings about IT and the fundamentals. I know I could just use the internet, but when you ask someone who has done it for a while, it is just more trustworthy
Man the world is so connected these days that a kid playing minecraft can affect a country on another continent. That's crazy.
well i mean even from devs to hackers born from Playing minecraft and try to cheat it to made some weird and fun mods
even 2b2t to this day produce more and more hackers/developers that can also change the real world
@@pringle409 "well i mean even from devs to hackers born from Playing minecraft and try to cheat it to made some weird and fun mods
even 2b2t the oldest anarchy server in minecraft to this day produce more and more hackers/developers that can also change the real world" fixed it
if you heard about 2b2t its basically an anarchy server where people hack
and people out here wanted more advantage over everyone so they go log4shell
and they want more and more powers so they go botserver tracking
Honestly biggest crime he did was releasing his code to hacker community. I mean I'm all for open source, but giving this code to people who are specifically going to use it for malicious purposes is pretty evil.
Seeing as to how cooperative he was after they tracked him down, I think he was just really naive about the scale of things other people would attempt with it. Probably thought they'd also be extorting 19 year old Minecraft server owners lol
please ser I just want my bitcoins
like man imagine someone giving out a hassle free tutorial on making various nerve agents with just house hold items.
exactly. im not sure what his motive was there. He didnt seem to gain anything out of it.
@@scorch4299 im not into programming and hacking and stuff but he probably was a long time member on whichever forum he released the code into, in his mind he probably was just giving back to a community which had helped him so much with his “rusting tool”
That’s a great use of community service, literally make them fix the mess that got them in trouble to begin with.
Better use of the kid's brain than rotting away in prison, that's for sure.
When it turned out he went from ~35 years prison to home confinement and community service I was honestly surprised. Then he mentioned the 8.9 million dollar restitution.
government got their cut.
he made 9 million and fbi sentence him 35y but if he want out he needs to pay 9 million but he already have 9 million.
him: ah sht here we go agane
I'm sure all that Bitcoin money might be worth something these days
He got Bill Oakley to represent him
this channel is criminally underrated
It’ll blow up one of these days. His content is incredible.
Honestly
So was paras
Do you wanna know who else is criminally underrated?
MY MOM
So, the "late teenagers/ early adults tech supervillain" trope was not that far off from fiction
It had to come out of *somewhere*
There is always, ALWAYS a story for every trope/stereotype
@@BBWahoo you're telling me that aggressive tsunderes that punches their crush all the time was based off something or will happen in reality one day? Yeah doubt that my man
@@krisnaputramaulidan2843
That's how Japan has categorized people with Borderline Personality Disorder, it's actually pretty messed up when you really go into it because the tsundere is in a state of suffering but westeners make light of it because they really really dont know what they're asking for
@@BBWahoo this is why asuka is the best representation of a 'tsundere'; she's realistically broken.
@@BBWahoo To add onto this old comment, same thing goes especially for the yandere trope. The idea of obsessing over someone to the point of murdering your love rivals for your crush is very rooted into the obsessive behaviors of those with untreated BPD, of course to a more exaggerated extent. To be honest Japan has had a long history of romanticizing or even sexualizing mental illness and trauma. Though if you look into porn it's clearly universal... So you could say it's more of a global issue and that Japan is just more explicit about it in their animation.
The ending when you explained his community service made me bust out laughing. “Clean this up” 😂😂😂
That’s how community service should be tbf. You make a mess, you clean it up. I.e You hack people, you gotta help them not get hacked.
shout out to the people who fell for the fake buffering enough that the 0:11 timestamp is now the most replayed part of the video
Other Hackers: So, how did you take down an entire country's server
Anna Sempai: Minecraft
Hackers: What?
Anna: _Minecraft_
@FemonicRBLX you are mega cringe
@FemonicRBLX 🤨
@FemonicRBLX That's good, I'd kill myself if I was on the same level as you.
@@zenthaa oh shi-
@@zenthaa *b u r n*
You're an amazing storyteller
Zero comment lemme change that
Jordan Welch my favourite entrepreneurship youtuber.
I honestly think that if he hadn't ever made that code public he could've maybe got away with it all.
Like it isn't too damning of evidence what he was doing to the Ddos protection people, but if he had just never shared the program out, and gotten rid of the main server, or at least brought it offline I don't see how it could've been traced to him.
though you have to admit how it's pretty cool that he basically built a botnet that feared governments and now working fbi to fix his own case
It's like a dang action thriller noir vibes
@@justanub4697 I agree it's a very cool story.
In my belief though, I find it reckless to just post this shit up on a forum, considering it's proven potential for chaos at the time.
I assume he never wanted to he tied to this whole creation, so any cooperation on his behalf seems rather mandatory in terms of avoiding prison time
@@gonzolonzo1383 Yeah true. i still like the perspective of it being a start of a noir though like that recklessness he gave at the past made it happen as a fun backstory.
but yeah reality is sh*t, I'm sorry it's just that Cool Noir Hacker vibes means in reality is just bad disaster.
Honestly, his sentence sounds like exactly how restitution for crimes like this should be. "You broke this? Well fix it!"
This one man has had some of the most agency and impact on the world you can imagine.
Pretty crazy.
Hah we ran a literally not-for-profit server, and people tried to DDoS the shit out of us. We wound up just paying about 40% more than we already were to get better DDoS protection, and most of those nerds couldnt touch us.
All we did was sell 1 extra home slot for $1 per month, and gave people the title [Vanguard].
Because our server was non profit, we didn't sell any pay to win stuff. You basically just payed for a fancy colored fantasy title, and little references in the spawn town. We put as much effort into carefully balancing our subscription perks, as any over-monetized server would. the only difference is we payed for a really good server, while selling the absolute bare minimum amount of cosmetic perks, just enough to keep the lights on for the 5 years the server ran for.

seems legit
Luckily my server was never attacked, but I had a similar thing. In my server I made everything easily accessible to everyone, but you could donate to keep the server running and get perks everyone else had, but easier access. It wasn't a "you can earn it in game but it will take 1000 hours." I sincerely despise p2w servers and I'm kinna mad that I supported a p2w server in the past.

Amazing story. I'm hooked to this channel.
Welcome aboard!
@@VinceVintageThe Minecraft hacking topic has a whole iceberg to uncover, please reconsider making another video like this
Brilliant of the FBI to add him to their team. When you find someone with as much skill as that it's a waste to put them behind bars, just make sure they're on the good side of things and they will do a lot of help.
fbi standard practice really, someone with a specialized skill set is giving them hell? see if their amicable to selling that skill set to them after they're caught (reducing sentence and stable employment after is a strong offer)
And also they can transfer him to the cia to do some shady shit if need be😂
That Andy Kaufmann style editing gag @ 0:11 *chef's kiss*
Praise the algorithm for introducing me to your awesome content. I thoroughly agree with everyone saying that this channel is going to blow up!
kinda crazy how consistent your upload schedule has been recently and yet the editing and scripts (i think these are scripted?) etc. are still on point. good shit 😎👍
With all of the ransom money he has, he probably has no problem paying back the restitution fee. Dude is livin
exactly the mob just wants its cut. no good guys in this story.
The kid from the movie "Catch me if you can" who larped as a pilot for a decade, when he was caught by the FBI he was given a reduced sentence if he game to work for them exposing bank fraud. The US needs to do more to scoop up talent like these kids and put them towards a positive task.
Except that story isn’t true and he lied about everything he did.
@@coolmanyea5030 except it is true , and the guy is still working at the FBI to this day. (though he's hella old, idk if he died.)
@@violentnexus3563 Except it’s not lol and the FBI never confirmed his story, and he was in jail for the majority of the time when he was supposedly committing all the fraud. Google it.
@@violentnexus3563 No it isn't, look it up. There is no evidence whatsoever of anything he said, the guy claimed he was in an FBI anniversary book, was never found, and many of the claims he made (like passing the bar) have been proven false. The guy is a conman through and through, conned his way into making people believe he was a conman.
I feel like I just witnessed chaos theory in motion
THE PANDORAS BOX OF MALWARE!
Great video bro, as always. Keep up the grind homie
Found your channel. Can’t wait to see you blow up!
Welcome aboard!
Aww man, I hope he doesn't blow up or he won't be able to make more videos
The FBI should give him a job.
From what I’ve heard that’s standard practice. Best way to get a job in the FBI is to outsmart them
@@arvin6883 Good thing they listened to me
well not like give him a "JOB". Dude, he wouldn't get pay but working for free. Government and feds can not pay or hire criminals like it's a contract.
@@putinninovacuna8976 he probably gets a generous per diem
@@putinninovacuna8976 that's bs people get hired out of prison all the time. Ie the wolf of Wallstreet worked with the feds after he got out
I love the way you tell stories. You keep to the facts and go at a great pace. Keep it up!
Idk how I haven't come across this story yet, good shit! Also, liking the new editing style you've been trying out
Hello! Thank you so much for making this. I looked so long for more information on mirai and mirai creator but couldn't find much untill this video! This video is great! Also thanks for including sources
I can’t wait until you make more videos lol I watched all of them even the ones I didn’t think I’d be interested it. Good content dude 😊
This channel is gold. Some Internet Historian and some genuine and great hosting. Looking forward to see where your channel goes!
How in the world did I go to Rutgers during the same time and hear nothing about this?
Amazing coverage on your end!! New fan here
Very interesting video about a topic other youtubers haven't covered! Keep up the great work!
I absolutely love your videos. And im glad you're finding your own style of editing instead of being IH inspired edits/channel instead. Keep up the great work man! You're stuff genuinely makes me laugh and informative
I am a new subscriber...and its criminal how underrated this channel is... Great work 🤯🤯
Your edits are so good. Been binging your vids since yesterday. Big new fan
I heard this story before but this channel gave more context and better presentation
Rarely leave comments, but want to say this was Fantastic. Great explanation and commentary. Have subscribed, looking forward to see your future content.
I can imagine the FBI techs with Parah whenever a new case it's opened and the botnet is Mirai based "lets see how we clean your mess this time"
He’s either going to end up working for the FBI after his service or he’s going to get snatched up by some tech guru
Very well told and entertaining. I find most people’s voices on RUclips annoy me but yours is quite soothing
Thank you Ryan! I'm glad you don't find my voice annoying!
Dude sounds like a business heavyweight tbh. Gotta respect the hustle. If we could, we would.
This channel is so underrated but so good I love small content creators that put out so much effort keep it going man!! 😁😁
Thank you RUclips for recommending me this video. I actually really enjoyed this man. Deff gonna sub
okay so i binged watched all of your videos and this was the last one and man i love your work i hope you post soon
Wow I just saw your Nikola video and was expecting to see you had subs in the millions. Great stuff, keep it up!
I love this "Crazy Minecraft History" type of videos.
Another great story, thank you!!
New favorite channel finished all of the videos So fast
Bro really made code to disconnect the world and the FBI says “nice work kid just stick with me for 4 years”
Kudos to that judge. Now he can spend his time being productive and cleaning up his mess rather than wasting tax payer dollars rotting in prison with actual criminals. Also good that he had to pay 8+mil
Fourth video of yours I've watched now. Subbed. Good shit, Vince.
Excellent video as always
Thank you man!
Another amazing video!
this sounds like the setup to a movie plot
Anyone with access to GitHub can call himself a hacker nowadays 😂😂 ,, have a great day man
That’s why “hacker” is in quotes
It’s More like script kiddie lol
@@VinceVintage lol the world runs on scripting.... Thats an ancient cringe term used by the uneducated. Nation state apt groups use scripts....
@@QillWhitey guess the governments are script kiddies
@@qwerty883 Ya totally not a super genius hacker like yourself "zerocool". Bet you hack all kinds of sweet gibsons... Mmmmm. Im sure you use your own custom operating system evert OS is a collection of scripts for script kiddies. Moron
@@QillWhitey so your saying that truly the real script kiddies...
were the friends we made along the way?
Love your channel, only just discovered it!
really interesting video, as always coming from you :)
this would make a sick miniseries
you really got me with that fake buffering at the beginning
As an Alaskan, you severely underestimated Kodiak.
It ain't that rural or ghetto. They got a Walmart
The Walmart at Kodiak is the only thing I know about Kodiak lol. I suppose you know why that's the case.
They caught Herobrine, we are finally safe.
Video: *loading effect*
Me, with all animation closed on my phone: okie dokie
"Love on a real train" in the background, good pick. 👍🏾
Just found your channel, glad I did.
0:11 I thought my Internet went out right as you said that😂
0:11. Well played.
that fake lag at 11 seconds in to the vid got me
Literally the best RUclipsr inspired me to start
That part that the video stopped on purpose got me
Great video, very interesting!
Glad you liked it!
Can't believe i never heard about this, cool video 👍
Dude set out to be the hero but with no villians he turned into one lol
About Anna-senpai: she is a character from an ecci anime named Shimoneta where basically people have to wear bracelets that let the FBI know if you're having any sort of dirty thought is highly illegal. Basically the protagonist gets roped into a terr0rist's crew to go to densely populated spaces and spread adult magazines. Anna-senpai is an upstanding student at the same high school as the other two characters I mentioned. Basically she falls madly in love with the protag and does some pretty messed up stuff. Yeah, that's it
Thx culture man
@@yourfriendmouse9967 You're welcome, thankful man
@@Gon-hx4df Nooo thank you
@@yourfriendmouse9967 Nooo you're welcome
@@Gon-hx4df Noooo thank you
0:12 lol i like how you added buffering in your video to trick people
This dude's channel is a content goldmine
The guy who authored this botnet was a very chill guy, so many fun skype hangouts just chatting. Godspeed Big C
The algorithm recommended you. Amd I'm so glad it did
it’s so funny because i remember all this drama from 2016-2018 with all the massive potpvp servers
This stuff is, honestly, pretty inspiring. I'm now getting back into coding/ starting to pursue coding seriously and seeing what people around my age like slipstream and Paras managed to do is amazing. I don't know the first thing about coding a botnet or sql injection and I know it's not as easy as saying "if (security_has_fault = true) {hack;}" but seeing how they succeeded is awe inspiring. It doesn't inspire me to become a hacker. It inspires me to become better at coding because for better or worse, what they did/ are doing is just so cool.
Hows it going nowadays? :)
Omg that fake buffering screen at the start actually got me
Great content 👍
Oh wow. I didn't even know this happened. I live on the east coast, but I didn't make it back home from a trip overseas until a day after this happened. Wild.
Wish ya luck mait most underrated channel
Like that fake buffering in there. It got me.
This is some modern day Frank Abagnale Jr. stuff right here.
All over a blockgame.. seriously digging deep into minecraft kinda makes it horrifying..
I'm probably missing half of this, but damn do coral reefs with shaders look nice. I'm going to have to re-enable the vibrant shader the next time I pass by a coral reef on my server.
i fucking love your channel dude, i really am craving more so much. can't wait to see you blow up!
Thank you! I'm working on a Epstein video now so be on the look out!
This is the definition of a 1 more video at 3am
Vince: Liberia goes offline for a week
Me in Liberia: *uses VPN*
Bless that man... Not only a fellow alumni, but also got me some to skip some finals that same semester.
"So what's your work experience?"
"I made a botent equivalent of Pandora's box."
I felt a crazy surge of unease throughout the last half of the vid until the 8 min mark .. when I realized background music he used (Love On A Real Train by Tangerine Dream) is the same song that I would play on repeat while studying in highschool.
great video, man! but the background music might be just a little bit too loud
Great Video
man glad to be here before the boom
This was a brilliant video
