DEAR AB...@COLORADO.EDU

This complaint is about Mike Varney, apparently a graduate
student a U. Colorado. He is using the email address:

"Mike Varney" <var...@collorado.edu>

Note that an extra "l" has been added to "colorado"

He has written a "perl" program designed to hit my website every
few seconds or so and has published it on 3 Internet Newsgroups
(see headers) urging other people to use the program on their computer.
The action he has perpetrated IS A CRIMINAL ACT in that it can
flood the AT&T server making my website inaccesible and/or jam
the AT&T server itself depending on how many people start using his
program as he has publicly urged.
Yesterday the number of hits to my website suddenly jumped from
it's normal 500 hits/day to 7,000 hits/day. That's about one hit
every 15 seconds which indicates that at least one person
(probably Varney) is using the program.
Sirs, his actions of using your colorado.edu email system to
publicly publish an abusive program to 3 public newsgroups
and urging people to use it to harass me and posibly do material
damage to my website (blocking users) and/or the AT&T server
IS A CRIMINAL ACT perpetrated on YOUR EMAIL SYSTEM.
I ask you to talk to Mike Varney and tell him to stop using the
program and to cease and desist from publicly publishing it and
criminally soliciting others to use it in violation of the law.
Two of his abusive messages are attached below including
the one with the illegal program in it, and an additional threatening
message from him which he apparently has made good on. This prank,
which i'm sure he thinks is harmless could turn into a serious
criminal situation if other gullible persons become involved
and risk criminal prosecution.
I await a reply from the authorities at the U. Colorado as to
whether this student has been restrained from doing any further
material damage to my website.

Sincerely, George Hammond

Hello all.
Here is a short little program that will add a "hit" to Hammered's web
counter.
It is written in python, which is a cool little scripting language and can
be downloaded from:
www.python.org

This program will ask how many hits you want to add to Hammered's web
counter, and how long you want to delay between each hit (in seconds). It is
recommended that a hit every 5 min will suffice as that will not be a DOS
attack.

The program is free ware and open source and can be modified at will.
Use at your own risk. :-)

------ begin source ------

import urllib # imports url library
from time import sleep # imports sleep timer

# Initilize variables
a = 0
t = 0

# User Input
x = input("How many hits do you want to add to Hammonds counter? ")
t = input("How long do you want to pause between each hit? (Recommend > 1
min) ")

# while loop

while a < x:
# open and reads page
sock = urllib.urlopen("http://home.attbi.com/~ghammond/index.html")
hampage = sock.read()
sock.close()
print hampage
sleep(t)
a = a+1

# print goodbye
print "you have increased Hammonds page count by "
print a
print "hits"

--- end source ---

PS: I have removed the counter from my website and will manually
update it based on the current statistics of 650 hits/day.
This will prevent "counter watchers" from bothering to hit
my website.
In the meantime I have received full assurance from AT&T that
if the count rate rises to high enough levels to interfere with
access to the site and/or affect their server, they will take
criminal action against all email addresses showing excessive
hits. Apparently they do have the facilities to trace people
logging on to the site without any problem, and will criminally
prosecute abusers, so, if you want to do some jail time kooks, go
ahead and use Varney's illegal program.

So you are forging your own counter because you were
bragging about it. Hehe ;-)
But isn't that a criminal act?
Make sure you advertise the fact that you are manipulating it.

That is *absolutely* impossible.
Show me that email from AT&T.

Just yesterday, the community of Fark.com took notice of hammond's site.

That means 10,000 hits in one day. And Hammond attributed it to Varney, for
better or for worse.
(What timing, eh?)
Thousands of readers who can hardly agree on any issue unanimously laughed
Hammond out of town.

How does that make you feel Hammond? Get a better wecounter, idiot. I'll
give you a hint: www.sitemeter.com; they'll tell you the most recent
reffering URLs. You might have known where these hits came from, and it
would have been great to see you join in on the discussion.

And to Mike Varney, I hope you can use this information if someone makes an
inquiry about your non-existent "perl" program. (BTW Hammond, it's usually
called a perl script.)

The only way this could happen is if a terrorist crashed a plane packed with
bioweapons into your house. CNN will go non-functional for a while, and as
soon as your page leaks out it will as well.

Actually, about 12.3 per second.

Can you prove that? Are you certain that you message has not finally

They are laughing their asses off at you Hammond. The email system at CU
has nothing to do with posting Usenet messages. Learn the protocols and
nomenclature before whining.

The people reading this have an intimate knowledge of crackpots. They see
this from you and they will laugh their asses off and probably offer to buy
me a beer.

I can always change the program, or reference people using google to the
proper thread where the program could be found.

What threat? I could also design a tritium boosted fission device that

So what?

Read the automatic reply again, dolt. It states that they will not contact
you about any actions taken.

For you edification, here is the policy.

(* --------------------Resolution of complaints:

<SNIP>

Here is the program, again. Hammond posted it without reading.

Do you realize Hammond, that by publicly whining on Usenet, you have opened
yourself up to not only ridicule and derision, but others who will also
publish code that could do even more nasty stuff to your web page?
All I have to do is cross post this link to *.2600 or some such other group
and then you will feel the pain when the script kiddies and some real
Crackers get into the game.
This advice is for your own good:
Stop posting you whining to Usenet.
Apologize to me.
Apologize to everyone else on this group.
Learn something about how the internet works.

Or you could click the refresh button on your web browser quite often.
To save you the trouble, I will soon (when I get some time) write a program
that will call your web-browsers refresh function in a timer mode.
If anyone else has a better script, please donate some of your time to the
cause.
Humm... I wonder if Hammond has any restrictions on upload bandwidth per day
from his site?

Oh, so you're simply going to make up numbers from now on?

I doubt AT&T employs people that are stupid enough to have said that.
They were either pulling your leg, recognizing you for the kook that
you are, or you talked to a salesrep.

Apparently they do have the facilities to trace people
> logging on to the site

"logging on to the site"?? What, it's password-protected now?
Last time I checked, I could just view it, no username, password
or email address necessary.

No, the email from ab...@colorado.edu is sufficient.. probably
sufficient to get Varney expelled.

For AT&T, you got to be kiddin, they've been tracing calls
since 1920. You don't think they can trace a 1,000 hits a
day from some IP address... don't be a goddamned fool.
Obviously, since no one sees the hits except AT&T,
the only thing their doing is running the liability of having
ATT&T fix their ass for them in a criminal court..or you too
for that matter if you're part of it, or any other kook who's
willing to risk loosing his ISP account, fines, damages, and
criminal prosecution.

So you were lying: you did not receive a mail where they say that


"they will take criminal action against all email addresses showing
excessive hits."

Why didn't you receive such a mail? Because it can't be done.

I am no fool. They can trace IP addresses. Of course.
They can't trace *email addresses* of people surfing and hitting
your site. That is what you falsely claimed they told you.

You are somewhat less intelligent than I suspected.
I estimate your IQ (FWIW) at a mere 125.

Drawing attention to your counter is counter-productive ;-)

So now everyone viewing your webpage is a criminal? Wow, that's
700 criminals a day! Or was it 500, or 650? You've mentioned all
those numbers. Anyway, since I am apparently a criminal for having
viewed your webpage, I humbly request that you send a complaint to
my ISP. Pretty please?

If you think Varney is not at UC, why bother them with it?

It means that thousands of readers of more than one ng are pissed off

You aways look ugly stooopid.

You suffer TREMENDOUS civil liability if Varney can show damage to his
good name (your voluminous libelous postings) or personal loss
(compensatory and multiple punitive damages awarded by a jury; civil
award only needs 9 of 12 yea) - University inquiry; loss of research
time, personal pain and suffering... Varney has you by your withered
testiclettes.

$50-100K claimed plus legals costs and jury fees would not be
unreasonable as soon as opposition counsel downloads the Google
archive - which, being by your own hand in the public domain, can be
splattered hither, thither, and yon without libel or slander
countersuit possible. You are royally screwed in trump spades
redoubled. Varney gets university legal counsel free - you defamed an
employee wth intent to injure and cause loss; the corporate persona
will hunt you like an animal.

Varney will own everything of yours of value through court award. All
you can hope for is a declaration of personal insanity and State
institutionalization. EVERYBODY WINS! Even you, after the drugs are
force-fed.

Hey, can you speak straight English, I'm not privy to
"insider" jokes. The FARK website says 9,249 people
(Fark members) hit my website in the past 24 hours...
and there are hundreds of posts there about it (not
bad in fact, if you can read Fark, which I was born knowing
since Freks can understand Farks) that much is real... what
the rest of this is, I dunno.

So? What's the problem? 10000 hits isn't that much. Even a slow
webserver can easily deal with 10 times that amount. Or are you
worried that by now 10000 people have seen your theory and recognized
it for the nonsense that it is? Afraid your book might not sell?

Wake up kid... learn some common psychology... like who
all the players are. Do you know who "Fark" is, and why
they would call themselves "Fark" and why they have 270,000
members? No, you don't, but I do.
Lemme tell you something, when Ghengis Kahn invaded Europe
and conquered the entire world from the China Sea to the
English Channel, there is only one city he didn't pillage,
and that was the Vatican. Why? Because when G.K. arrived
at the city wall with 250,000 men mounted on ponies, Pope
Leo got on a white horse with two Cardinals and rode out to
talk to him. Leo told G.K that if he razed the Vatican God
would strike him dead. Ghengis believed it, turned his
quarter million ponies around and retired to Vienna.
Fark is the modern day version of that situation. I don't need
to tell Fark to leave me alone, they will, after they've
taken a good look at the Vatican, they won't burn it down...
unlike you guys who are trying to murder me. You wanna watch
you're goddamned step.. just because they're telling jokes about
me over there, like "I hope Stephen Hawking gets up out of his
wheel chair and strangles the guy"... the point is, they are
the ONLY organized group of people who have taken notice of me...
fact is... like G.K... they actually have a good idea what this
thing really is... their not gunning for me bro... it's vicious
little snakes like you they don't like... I'm telling you right
up front about it.... be careful about doing anything rash.
In controversial, dangerous and explosive matters... NOBODY,
I mean NOBODY, is about to say what they're really thinking...
except me. I'm the designated confessor bro. (or rather the theory
is a confession of faith by Science) and the name of
the game is this... the first one to take a serious shot at me
gets it, everybody will turn on him. That's the
way it went down last time (2000 yrs ago), and that's the way it's
going down this time... they're all looking for Judas Iscariot pal,
and don't ever forget it. Varney almost got the nomination, thank
christ he missed. No, it's not a Saviour this time, it's
a scientific theory, but it's still a "proof of God". Dummy up dude.

Get today's paper pal, you're behind the times. Somebody discovered
it was 10,000 members of FARK.com who hit my website in 24 hours,
it's still taking 250 hits/hour from it. It wasn't Varney. It was
real people, so I've put the counter back up.

Actually it did 10,000 hits in about 12 hours... that's 4 times
a second, a computer can't refresh that fast. Beside's it's not
FARK's style... they don't like dirty jokes or dirty tricks.
And, there are hundreds of postings on Fark about the website.

Actually I suspect the the page refresh is *much* faster from within

Hello all. Due to popular demand and comments from Hammond, I have written
another Python script.
Python is a cool little interpreted language and can be found at:
www.python.org
The new version will not print out Hammond's html code, but can be augmented
by removing the bash comment to do so.
This program will also print an update counter so you will know how many
hits have been added to his counter.
Any helpful suggestions for improving this program are welcome.
P.S. Ready to apologize to the group and to CU now Hammond?

----start script ----
# Hammondhitter.py
# Version 1.2, 6/2/2002
# This program adds "hits" to Hammonds page counter.
# This program is freeware and can be modified at will.
# Use program at your own risk.
# Use of program may cause Hammond to bitch, whine, moan
# and attempt to report you to abuse@* for abuse of your email account!
(Don't laugh!)
# Hammond is stupid.

# Imports Useful Libraries
import urllib
import sys
from time import sleep

#Function Definition. This opens and reads Hammonds Page
def openhammond():
hampage = urllib.urlopen('http://home.attbi.com/~ghammond/')
hitclick = hampage.read()


# Set Index Counter
a = 0
t = 0

# User Input
x = input("How many hits do you want to add to Hammonds counter? ")
t = input("How long do you want to pause (in seconds) between each hit? ")

# while loop

while a < x:
# open and reads page
openhammond()
# print hitclick
print "you have increased Hammonds page count by "
print a+1
print "hits"
sleep(t)
a = a+1


print "Bye"

I dare say,
that after a jury were exposed to a few thousand of Varney's posts,
they would be 12 to zero against him, and
the Judge would summon a Grand Jury to cite him for something.

If I were in the states, I would welcome an opportunity to sue
or counter sue Varney, that is if he has any assets worth going after.
If he didn't have assets, I would visit him personally,
and discuss his problem.

As can be seen from the posts in this newsgroup,
Varney is a disgrace to society, and has shifted the central
topic of this newsgroup from physics, to name calling.

He has done this,
by exploiting the prejudices and hatred latent in some people,
He comes right out, and says nasty, uncivilized comments about someone,
and the dog pack uses this as a trigger to rush in.

As the old saying goes,
"Those who lie down with dogs, get up with fleas."

Varney has spread his fleas to a lot of people.
One could call him the
"Typhoid Mary of hatred and uncivilized behavior."

uncle
just have a look about the list of people who are defending Varny....

i tryed to understand the 'rational' of your behaviuor
i am ready even to understand that there must be 'something'
in a public ng to 'deffend' it from 'lowering to a certain minimum level'

but just have a look back how (i will put somewhat a declining line-
not necessarily the right order)

you youself, Heymann De Mortel and last but very least Varny

look at your style your 'techniques'
i think Varny has lowerd the standard of thread to a lower
than whore hose or a drunk pub level
a level of a wild animal.(excuse me if there are spelling mistakes
i feel there are (:-))
so i think you should reconsider your style its magnitude etc etc-
just in order that people will accept you more seriously
and respectfully.(and may be more understandfuly)

TIA

Ah, a threat.. cool. Now it is on public record. Testosterone compels me
to say "bring it on, fruit." but the result would make me feel like I was

Just having fun over someone begging for it, you know...
After all, Hammond *is* enjoying this too :-)

Another guy Potter just jumped in, asking for his share.
Look: he just declared (or did he merely suggest it?):

Dirty isn't it? But no problem with dirty, as long as it's funny.
The problem is that he is actually serious about it and it wasn't
intended to be funny at all.
Keep an eye on what might be coming next: you'll notice that he
will enjoy it too, but in some other, rather twisted way...

All the best,

What people say and what they think are two different

people... 1. The oppressed, and 2. The oppressors.
the truth, you'll get from the people cited in the URL

GH: Whew.... and BTW, I put a Site Meter counter on my page
that traces URL's. Right now my website is taking 300

Dear ab...@colorado.edu:

Mike Varney, who claims that he is a graduate student
at U. Colorado is perpetrating a crime using the U. Colorado
email system. His email address is:


"Mike Varney" <var...@colorado.edu>


I suspect from his speech and education that he is a Philosophy
Major, Computer Science or something like that. Anyway, he is
clearly mentally unbalanced and may be in need of help. To publicly
post a "hacker" type program designed to personally attack someone's
website, and to publicly urge others to use it, and which can
materially flood an AT&T server, and prevent access to someone's
website, is clearly a communications crime to say nothing of
criminal harassment.
I instist that the U. Colorado Webmaster, email authorities, or
the Security Department have a chat with Mr. Varney and ask him
to explain why what he is doing is not a crime, and how it is
possibly witin the usage guidelines of the U. Colorado email system.
Mr. Varney is not rational, and appears to be out of touch with
reality, perhaps a thought disorder. naturally he considers himself
a genius, and believes he has a well thought out strategem of why
he is not guilty of criminal harassment and communications crimes.

Sincerely, George Hammond

Your ignorance is showing again Hammond. I am not talking about your
personal U/D limits, but the server limits that might be imposed on your web
page. You are already most likely limited to 60 meg of storage. Some
services limit the total amount of data transferred from your page to a
certain number of megs a day.
Ponder that for a while, dolt.

You had better take a look then, imbecile. Also, if many people ran the
script from different domains, there is nothing for you to do but whine,
bitch and moan. Look at your counter and see how many sites were visited
for only 1 second, or zero seconds. What does that tell you, moron?
You are just too easy Hammond, you need to make it more challenging for me

Christ, yuh Tom. I just realized Varney is a real mental case
and probably needs help. What he's doing at U. Colorado is beyond
me, I don't think he's sane enough to take an examination.
He manifests a strong idee fixe about his virus program and has just
posted a new updated version, exhorting people to join in with
him in commiting a communications crime against me and AT&T.
I have noticed he is completly devoid of humor, a serious psychotic
symptom. He may be on the verge of hurting himself or sommeone else.
I can only wonder what ab...@colorado.edu is making of all these complaints.
I have a funny feeling they already know about him. they may consider him
marginally dangerous.

Potter has your number Varney, and now I've got it. you're a serious
hate case, psychotic, that simple. What i know that Potter doesn't
know, is that there's no use talking to you, you're ready for
a psychiatrist, and are not listening to anything anyone is saying.
Sooner or later U. Colorado is going to call you on the virus
program you're publicly urging people to use, it's a CRIME pure
and simple. Look, DON'T FUCKIN HURT YOURSELF, get some help,
there is plenty of help for bad guys you know, it's only the good
guys who are f---ed when it comes to getting help. Look Varney,
if it's success that's bothering you, forget it, you're already a
success, you were born a success, that's your f---in problem.
So relax. it doesn't matter what the fuck you do as long as you
don't decide to attack people. Start trying to realize that you're
already a success by anyone's standards.

Naw... like I say, nobodies mentioned it in the hundreds of posts
on FARK.com about my website, and they were hitting it at the rate
of 1,000 hits/hour. Besides, it's all text and B/W line drawings,
low bits/page... there isn't a color graphic on the entire site.
You can't run into any high numbers doing that.

Most likely, he has a limit of 300 megs/month, and a 10 meg limit on
files. Why do I say that? I work for another of the former @Home
companies, and we KEPT those limits just as they had been for
@Home-provided web space. That should cut him off at a few thousand,

ALL posts about his web site are derisive. And that fark.com seems to

You have halucinated the entire incident you just described. Only

You're a f---in psycho. I've checked the Site meter Statistics
readout, and NO ONE is hitting the site more than 2 or 3 times a day,
thousands of different individual people, and their IP ADDRESSES
listed right along with the number of times they've hit the site.
You're so psychotic you have delusions of granduer where "2000"
people are in league with you in commiting a crime... you're fu----
basket case.. how a guy your age (27) could be as crazy as
you is a joke... snap out of it.

Don't get smart psycho, you've posted dummy scripts like the
one above, but my guess is the original one was a working
script and now you're trying to cover your tracks.. just a
guess.
BTW, I have a Site Meter on my webpage and can read the
IP address of anyone that hits it, and if I see someone
hitting it 1000 times a day or even 100, it'll stand out like a sore
thumb and the guy's computer will be identified immediately,
and he'll be talking to the authorities at AT&T about why
he's flooding their server. And his ISP will be informed of
it too and it's obviously a TOS violation.

Makes no difference how many people run it, their IP ADDRESS
SHOWS UP IMMEDIATLY along with how many hits from their address.
Their ISP will shut of their service for a TOS violation.
You're a psycho Varney, and U.Colorado is breathing down your

site is taking 8,000 legitimate hits/day anyway. Anybody hitting my
website 1000 times a day is going to be quickly identified and
his ISP will shut him off for a TOS violation (harassment).

it's so far over your head it's a joke. Talking to a line professional

can get the attention of somebody like the Pontifical Academy of Sciences

for christs sake, Jesus had to talk to 100,000 people in person before
he could talk to Herod, who is probably the only person who knew
who he was, asswipe.

works is law enforcement... and that's headed your way sucker.

You're so boring it's pathetic... a lowbrow who thinks writing

Most of your recent hits will have been from fark.com,
but Varney's "hoax" was an absolutely genuine program
that does what he said it does.

Nobody can read perl without centuries of training - it's
a practically incomprehensible "write-only" language, for
hackers only - but Varney's program was in Python, a
language so clear and straightforward that even I can use it.
Just look at it, guess what it does, and your guess will be
right - there are no surprises in Python, apart from the
Spanish Inquisition.

Just to be certain that it didn't contain any syntax errors,
I've tried running it, but against one of my own sites so
that it wouldn't upset your hit counter. It works.

The first version prints out the text of the web page it
is directed at, so Varney could have tried pretending
that it was a crude web browser, doing just what IE or
Netscape does (but doing it repeatedly, to one site only
- I don't think that defence would have held much water).
But the second verion reads a web page repeatedly and
doesn't even bother to display the contents of the page.
The hash at the start of the "# print hitclick" line means
that this line has been commented out, and does nothing.

If you can get hold of logs for your website from attbi, it will be easy to
recognise which hits are from python scripts. They will probably
look something like

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn - - [03/Jun/2002:10:28:02 +0100]
"GET /subdirname/pagename.htm HTTP/1.1" 200
7110 "-" "Python-urllib/1.15"

- the mention of Python is a dead giveaway. Genuine hits will
mention a browser, usually mozilla and/or MSIE. That's why
Varney is talking about writing a program which automatically
invokes a proper browser at regular intervals.

Your admission that you realise that service providers impose
limits on traffic shows that you knew what you were doing when
you published your program and publicly urged others to use
it against Hammond's website.

You appear to be under the mistaken impression that the
University of Colorado cares nothing about its reputation.
A University that has no reputation has nothing. They will
be making this fact clear to you real soon now. Either that,
or they will be closing down.

Ponder that.

You think that usenet isn't the same as the real world, so
that you can do anything you like in usenet, and the real
world isn't affected? Wrong! Note, though, that Potter was
just speaking hypothetically. He doesn't live in the states,
and he doesn't intend to sue Varney, or to visit him personally.

Varney is a different matter. He asked where Hammond
lived, and the person he asked was stupid enough to provide
an answer. I find that worrying.

On the contrary, he has injected a very welcome bit of life into it.

As I posted above:

"Varney is a disgrace to society, and has shifted the central
topic of this newsgroup from physics, to name calling.

He has done this,
by exploiting the prejudices and hatred latent in some people,
He comes right out, and says nasty, uncivilized comments about someone,
and the dog pack uses this as a trigger to rush in."

Note that although David Evens has been exploited by Varney,
and joined in the dog pack attacks,
I bet normally, he is a real nice, sane, civilized guy.

It is amazing what happens to dogs and sharks,
and some uncivilized humans,
when they smell blood.

I wasn't speaking hypothetically.
I have sued several companies, and government employees,
including policemen and judges, when it was clear that
they were in the wrong, and arrogant about it.

In one case, I, my manager, and a few of my employees,
all sued a head hunting firm that was trying to recruit some
of my best people, in different courts, at different times.
We cost them a lot of time and money, not to mention
sleep and tension, and drove them out of business.

But when I have a disagreement with a person,
first, I confront them personally and try to settle
the problem in a civil way, but if they want a fight,
that's okay with me, as I put morality, justice and civility
far ahead of time and money.

I get back to America occasionally, and will
be looking forward to meeting Varney at Colorado U,
and see if we can work out his problem in a civil way.
(Unless Frazir beats me to him.)

I believe in "turning the other cheek" a few times,
but at some point, the good folks have to take a stand,
or the bullies (physical and psychological) will corrupt a society,
as Varney has corrupted sci.physics.

I'm going to frame that statement and put it on the wall.
I think Varney has been working too hard on his PhD and
is getting streched... the guy (I'm twice his age BTW)
obviously has an pseudo-psychotic overlay that needs
dumping. He needs a good analyst to explain to him
who he really is and that he is a valuable person, has
extrodinary talent, is slated to be successful, and can
relax about his true identity and even have some fun in
life. If he trys to sustain this (recent I think) attitude
overlay of his he's going to get in trouble. He's young
enough to make a serious course correction, and I think he
should.
BTW, I hope he realizes that a guy like me has been
all through it... and my internet persona (at age 60) is
obviously an act designed to disarm serious and dangerous nuts
whom I have to deal with (not him, he's not dangerous, he's
just aggrevating).
