The following is a popular story about a "hacker" also known as "I hacked 127.0.0.1" I translated for you guys from German to English. The original is from here: http://www.stophiphop.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=184
###################
The Internet is full of people pretending to be semi-professional 1337-Hax0rz. Until now, we at StopHipHop.de thought that real hackers were a myth, just like the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But on the evening of April 4, something extraordinary happened...
In our IRC channel #stopHipHop it went around. Not because especially attractive metal girls were pleasing us with their curves again. No. A mighty evil hip-hopper, seemingly disgusted by our objective and serious website, entered our chat channel to demonstrate devastating consequences of his cracker art. (For all you newbies, our site is directed at hip-hoppers - in an ironic way).
After this hip-hop specimen performed a verbal anal intercourse with all present for some time (without sparing their mothers, fathers, pets and other family members; original sound: "such bums victims satanists like you punks f*** with us every day in the a***"), something happened that we didn't even take seriously at first. He wanted to hack a computer. My computer.
A few notes in passing:
- The name of the dangerous "Hax0rz" is bitchchecker. Myself is known to visitors of our site as Elch.
- Everyone knows the IP address 127.0.0.1 (also called "localhost"). This combination of numbers is simply the IP address of every computer. If you access it, you end up on your own hardware.
- A ping timeout is an interruption of the connection - for example due to a computer crash.
But now back to the story:
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-a97f9137.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-61a2169c.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop
<bitchchecker> why are you kicking me out
<bitchchecker> can't you discus normally
<bitchchecker> answer me!
<Elch> we have not kicked you
<Elch> You had a ping timeout: * bitchchecker (~java@euirc-a97f9137.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)
<bitchchecker> what for ping man
<bitchchecker> the timing of my pc is right
<bitchchecker> i even have daylight saving time in it
<bitchchecker> you have banned me
<bitchchecker> admit it you son of a b***h
<HopperHunter|afk> LOL
<HopperHunter|afk> shit you are stupid, daylight saving time^^
<bitchchecker> dude shut up we HAVE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME NOW!!!
<bitchchecker> for two weeks already!
<bitchchecker> when you start pc windows displays a message that daylight saving time will be set
<Elch> I see, you know a lot about computers.
<bitchchecker> shut up i hack you
<Elch> ok, I'm already quiet, not that you show us what a great hacker you are ^^
<bitchchecker> tell me your network number man then you are dead
<Elch> um that is 129.0.0.1
<Elch> or was it 127.0.0.1
<Elch> yes exactly that was it: 127.0.0.1 I will then wait for a serious hacker attack
<bitchchecker> in five minutes your hard disk will be erased
<Elch> Now I'm scared
<bitchchecker> shut up you are about to leave
<bitchchecker> i have a program here where i enter your ip and you are dead
<bitchchecker> say already on see again
<bitchchecker> say goodbye already
<Elch> to whom?
<bitchchecker> to you man
<bitchchecker> buy buy
<Elch> I'm already literally trembling before such a blatant Hack0r as you are one
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-61a2169c.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)
What happened is clear: The guy entered his own IP address into his powerful hack program and thus crashed his own computer. Thus, the attack on my PC had probably failed for the time being. I was already beginning to think that I now had peace from further attacks, but as we all know, a good hacker never gives up. Two minutes later he came back.
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-b5cd558e.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop
<bitchchecker> dude be glad my pc crashed or you would be gone
<Metanot> lol
<Elch> bitchchecker: Try hacking me again then.... I still have the same IP: 127.0.0.1
<bitchchecker> you are so stupid dude
<bitchchecker> say buy buy already
<Metanot> man, stick your age
<bitchchecker> buy buy elch
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-b5cd558e.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)
The mood was tense... Would he manage to crash my PC after these two failed attempts? I waited. Nothing happened. I was relieved... Six minutes passed before he prepared the next wave of attacks. As a hacker who usually cracks entire data centers, he now also knew what he had failed at before.

<bitchchecker> elch you son of a b***h
<Metanot> bitchchecker how old are you?
<Elch> what then bitchchecker?
<bitchchecker> you have a frie wal
<bitchchecker> fire wall
<Elch> can be, do not know me so well with it
<bitchchecker> i am 26
<Metanot> with 26 such a conversational tone?
<Elch> how did you know I had a firewall?
<Metanot> tststs that is not very god my frend
<bitchchecker> because your faggot fire wall directed my shutdown signal back to me
<bitchchecker> be a man turn the shit off
Firewalls cause permanent damage...
<Elch> cool, didn't know that was possible.
<bitchchecker> thn my virus will destroy your pc man
<Metanot> are you hacking right now?
<Elch> yes bitchchecker is trying to hack me
<Metanot> hey bitchchecker if you are a hacker then you have to get around a firewall even i can do that
<bitchchecker> yeah man i hack the elch but the fucker has a fire wall the
<Metanot> what firewall do you have?
<bitchchecker> like a girl
<Metanot> firewall is normal there you have to get past it as a normal hacker...you girl^^
<He> Bitch, you better give yourself a Jackson and chill you let you provoke and deliver the little pubescent girls always new material
<bitchchecker> turn fire wall off then i send you a virus fucker
<Elch> Nope
<Metanot> hey bitchchecker why turn it off you turn it off!!!!!!!!!!!
<bitchchecker> are you scared
<bitchchecker> I don't feel like hacking like this when he hides like a girl fire wall
<bitchchecker> elch turn off your fucking wall!
<Metanot> I wanted to say something about the bitchthingthingbeast, so do you know the definition of hack??? when he turns off the firewall it is an invitation and has nothing to do with hacking.
<bitchchecker> shut up
<Metanot> lol
<bitchchecker> my old granny sufrs me fire wall
<bitchchecker> and you louses pretend to be so cool and don't dare to go on the internet without a fire wall
He calls me a girl and thinks that at most his grandma would use a firewall. I know that older people are clearly smarter than the younger ones, but I don't let that go. To see if he really is a good hacker, I lie and leave things as they are. After all, I don't have a firewall. Only my router has one.
<Elch> bitchchecker, a colleague just showed me how to turn off the firewall. Now you can try again
<Metanot> bitchhacker can not hack
<Black[TdV]> what a pun ^^
<bitchchecker> word man
<Elch> bitchchecker: I am still waiting for your attack
<Metanot> how many times he is not a hacker!
<bitchchecker> dude you want a virus
<bitchchecker> tell me your ip and it will delete your hard disk
<Metanot> lol no let me I am a hacker myself and if you know how hackers behave then I can tell you with 100.00%, hacker you are not..^^
<Elch> 127.0.0.1
<Elch> it's quite simple
<bitchchecker> lolololol you are stupid man you are gone right away
<bitchchecker> and are the first files already deleted?
<Elch> mom...
<Elch> I'll look
I panically start Windows Explorer, my heart is racing. Have I underestimated him?
<bitchchecker> don't even try to recover you won't make it you son of a b***h
<Elch> but that is bad
<bitchchecker> elch you nut your hard drive g: is deleted
<Elch> yes, probably nothing can be done about that
<bitchchecker> and in 20 seconds f: is gone
Yes really, the G: and F: drives are gone. Did I even have any? No matter, there is no time to think about it, cold shivers run down my spine. But bitchchecker sweetens my agony with a good music tip.
<bitchchecker> tupac rules
<bitchchecker> elch you son of a b***h your f: is gone and e: too
The drive E:? Oh, my gosh... All the games are on there! The vacation photos, too! I'll check it out right away. But it's still there. Yet the hacker said it was deleted...? Or is it not on my computer at all?
<bitchchecker> and d: is at 45 percent you nut lolololol
<He> why Meta says nothing more
<Elch> because he is probably lying on the floor laughing right now
<Black[TdV]> ^^
<bitchchecker> your d: is gone
<He> keep it up BITCH
This guy's really got it: My CD drive is said to have erased something. So bitchchecker turns my old disk swallower into a burner! But how does he do it? I have to ask him right away. Some are already encouraging him. He himself gives safety advice how the disaster on my hard disks could have been avoided.
<bitchchecker> elch man you are so stupid never give your ip on the internet
<bitchchecker> i'm already at c: 30 percent
Should I perhaps finally clarify that he is not attacking my computer at all?

Too late... It's 20:22 when we receive a last message from our hacker under the pseudonym "bitchchecker". It is reported that he has a "ping timeout". Since then we haven't seen him again.... Probably because of the summertime. Finally there is only to say: Do not do to others what you do not want done to you. Because it could be your own computer that you are hacking - and also your files that you are deleting.
this is awesome
where is this stophiphop.de now btw?
