أنا دخلت كلية هندسة الإسكندرية في دفعة 2008-2009 . ماكنتش لسة شكلت أيديولوجية كاملة أو منظور كامل للكون والعالم اللي حواليا. كنت طفل. يمكن بسبب الموضوع ده خسرت ناس كتير. ده مش معناه إني خلاص فهمت الدنيا، لكن عالأقل عرفت الزتونة. عرف إزاي إنك علشان تعيش في البلد دي بالذات لازم تبقي بوشوش، وقليلين بس اللي هيتقبلوا طبيعتك الحقيقية.لظروف كثيرة سقطت ف تاني سنة ليا في الكلية، وكل صحابي فلّوا علي رأي هبة طوجي. السنة دي بادعي ربنا إنها تكون آخر عهدي بالمكان الموبوء ده وأتخرج بسلام وبلا خساير أكتر من كدة.من ضمن الذكريات اللي بتتداعي عليّ كل يوم وأنا نايم خلال السنين اللي فاتت دي كلها، باذكر حدث مهم جدا بالنسبالي، حدث الهاكر.في 2009 ، وبالتحديد في يوم الجمعة 24 يوليو، كنت مستني نتيجة الفاينال بتاعتي. وقتها قيل لنا إنها هتنزل علي موقع الكلية. دخلت علي الموقع قبل الصلاة، لقيت إنه واقع. بس لقيت إن فيه رسالة منشورة عليه. الموقع تم اختراقه من هاكر. بس ماكانش هاكر مؤذي. الشاب ده كان عاوز يوصل فكرة، إن النظام بايظ. اخترق سيرفرات الكلية علشان يثبتلهم إنها سهلة الاختراق. وساب الرسالة دي:
==== Egypt EUN HACKED - Friday, July, 24th., 2009 ====
a) Why I Did This?b) Who Am I?c) Current Status of Egyptian Universities.d) 1,045,000,000 EGP In Three Months?e) Is There A Security Team?f) Egypt's PhDs In Computer Science == Basic Computers 101.g) Egypt's Security Government Agencies, They Exist?h) My Humble Opinion About This Whole Thing.
a) Why I did this?
- I've done this bluntly to show everyone that most of you are just a bunch of suites walking around doing nothing except making lots of cash and pimpin' your cars, so honestly this is not about a personal attack or nothing of the sort more than an attack on the system and why we should drop asking for shiny certificates instead of employing the boys that know what they are doing.
b) Who am I?
- My identity is of no concern to anybody, but I would like to say that I don't belong to NO terrorist group as our ministry of interior likes to think as a start for anyone who expresses himself in a "unique" way. I'm an Egyptian, and I do love Egypt, not the people of Egypt, that is another story, but Egypt is where I belong and is where I was born, so I think since no one wanted to make use of my knowledge, just because I don't have the required shiny certificates, I thought I should do something for the sake of Egypt.
c) Current Status of Egyptian Universities.
- Let me put this simple and clear, as far as I see things, Education Curriculum sucks, Education Environment sucks, Professors should literally step down and redo their PhD thesis like at least 5 times before they gain their PhDs again instead of purchasing them. And I'm not saying that because everybody around is saying so, I've talked to those PhDs before, and I've proven my superiority over some of them, putting in mind my very humble cute little age and the few educational certificates I had, compared to their shiny PhDs, they should literally tear down these shiny certificates and start from scratch. Oh and don't get me started on the abundance of the usage of Microsoft products, and how much Microsoft is involved in our education system, that's including but not limited to courses curriculums and softwares installed on school and universities machines, I mean come on people, enough making deals under the table and start giving people what they truly deserve, even if they don't, but they still are the outcome of your doings, face it. And please for God's sake, stop feeding young kiddos ICDL crap, it is crap and you know it, so stop feeding this BS to others, we don't need more incompetents, we already have you.
d) 1,045,000,000 EGP In Three Months?
- You see that large amount of mighty cash, it is true, I've seen a report saying that about 80% of that cash being spent in 3 months, you will wonder, what in the hell this kind of cash can be spent on, the answer is simple, computers, labor, personal expenses, silicon breasts, and of course pimpin' cars. I will not talk much about this, I'll just leave the report to speak for itself. The thing that truly bothers me about this is that students class rooms has not received a fraction of that money, not even on bloody chairs instead of the ones that was bought in 1901.
e) Is There A Security Team?
- A security team, eh? I'm bloody sure that they didn't even hear about the concept of security, they think of security as a bunch of "hardware firewalls", here is a small email to give you an idea ...
----- Forwarded Message -----<br /> ...lex.edu.eg</a>***Note form me not the hacker : I couldn't find the hacked email. Mind that this was all 4 years ago. Anyway, the rest of the message speaks for itself, and the emails were extracted from the faculty's workers' emails. The so-called security wasn't cunning enough to send emails in enclosed letters. They used easily-hack-able emails for such things. Such a security breach! ***
- Now, trust me, hardware firewalls will NOT make you any securer, that's just corporate marketing to make you believe that their product is the one and final solution to all of your problems, and as a matter of fact, it is NOT the end of your problems. I've witnessed and seen in this network a huge lack of security sense, you don't need a machine you need a hacker to secure your stuff, a guy that knows what he is doing, a guy that knows exactly how to break in as well as how to defend his network from being attacked. Please go read some books, and stop watching a lot of TV and flashy adverts.
f) Egypt's PhDs In Computer Science == Basic Computers 101.
- It is sad but very true, PhDs around here in CS, think they are the best in the world, while a 16 years old kid I mentor can totally teach you stuff you've never heard of before, the problem is that PhDs in Egypt are not gained anymore, they are purchased, they rely on how ***y you are, or how much money you are willing to spend on your thesis (of course that's including the fee of purchasing it + taxes). I was more than willing to teach and help whoever needs it, however it seems that people around here think of ignorance as a shame, actually they think anything that wouldn't make them feel superior is a shame, however the fact is, ignorance is not a shame as long as you are willing to learn, and have dedication and respect to whoever is teaching you, I know students these days are pretty awful, but hey, it is YOU that made them awful due to your archaic methods of teaching and your attitude, I'm really not saying that every one holding a PhD falls under all of this, all I'm saying is that the majority of you are making the efforts of the good countable few of you pass by unnoticed.
g) Egypt's Security Government Agencies, They Exist?
- Since we are talking about Computer Security, and not other types of security, then I'll answer that question with a NO. I don't think we have any sort of technological intelligence agency, but that's just what I think, either they are really lame, or they follow the policy of keep everything private from the public sort of intelligence policy which I truly disagree with, I understand that different intelligence agencies around the world have different policies about their exposure to the public, but around here it nearly doesn't exist, which in my humble opinion is not good for recruiting new expertise in the field, or establishing good assets, I'm no expert, but by what I've seen so far in the field, computer security around here is just a shame, I have found more than a way to take down the whole EUN network, that's of course including different other networks, and specially our pathetic Cairo IXP which is hosted at ECC Solutions, it is 100% government owned so by judging how secure this is, I can tell that the overall computer security of the whole country is second to none.
h) My Humble Opinion About This Whole Thing.
- I don't really have much else to say except that I finally feel that I've done my part and delivered the message that should have delivered. I really hope that you understand that I'm not a destructive person at all, I'm just tired of everything around here, and sadly nobody is listening, so I thought that by doing this, they should be listening now. And to prove my intentions (like if I really need to prove them), here are some things you could do to prevent anyone else from doing something similar...
1) Stop using Microsoft products. (This is was a major player)2) Stop using RHCE and Suse, those are as good as any other distro, read and learn instead of buying support for them.3) Hire someone that knows what the hell he is doing.4) Stop sending passwords in emails. (This is a huge security risk)5) Don't trust corporate products in general for a penny.7) Have a security team that have at least 4-5 people (please choose wisely, don't be impressed easily by the shiny certs).
- I think I'm done, what I've done is a onetime service only, I don't have the time nor I'm willing to do this again, I have a life to care about. It is all yours now to decide, either to wake up and start doing something good for once in your lives for the people and the sake of this country, or keep on going with your lives and simply forget about this.
- Oh by the way, I've got into all these servers in less than a month.

***Note form me not the hacker : The links are down of course. Again it's been 4 years.***
(( Have A Wonderful Weekend! ))
***Note form me not the hacker : It was Friday.***
أنا ماعرفش الشخص ده، بس ال message دي فضلت عندي لفترة طويلة علي ال desktop، لحد كارثة حصلت علي ال PC أودت بكل متعلقاتي لموارد الردي، دورت عليها مطولا لحد ما جبتها تاني، بس مالاقتش نصوص الإيميلات اللي كان حاطط عينة منها. وبرضه من ساعتها وهي عندي علي أي Desktop جديد لأي OS جديد باستخدمه.طيب ليه الهاكر ده أنا فاكره أوي كدة؟ مش عارف ! يمكن علشان لاقيته شبهي جدا. بيفكر زيي. لاقيته بيعاني في دنيا مش فاهماه ونظام تعليمي رديء بشدة. لاقي نفسه فاهم أكتر بكتير من اللي موجودين وحملة الشهادات، مع ذلك بيبصوله بنظرة استخفاف.أنا طلعت لأوضة السيرفرات في الكلية عندنا. مبدأيا، أحب أطمنك إنها لسة Windows-based . وأحب أطمنكم إنها لسة مفشوخة، ومافيش Security Team لحد دلوقت. ومافيش إشراف 24/7 ولا تطوير. ويمكن يكون مافيش تبريد جيد كمان ! في تدريب ليا في شركة Baker Hughes ، لاقيت ال trucksبتاعتهم اللي فيها كل ال Measurements Systems شغالة بنظام Unix-based . أما سألت المهندس، قال لي إن في شغل خطير زي شغلهم، هم مش هيحطوا لنفسهم risk إن النظام يهنج !
الموضوع ده نموذج مصغر للبلد دي بكل مساوئها. بلد اللي فيها بيفهم مش بيتقدر، واللي بيقدر يحفظ المقررات المتهالكة اللي عفي عليها الزمن بيبقي أستاذ بيدرس نفس الأسلوب العقيم للطلبة الجديدة.الحادثة دي كانت قبل الثورة بسنة ونصف. هل الوضع تغير بعد مضي ما يزيد علي ال3 سنوات من الثورة؟ الإجابة لأ ! نفس العفن والعقم والتخلف. نفس عدم تقدير العقول وإنتاج نفس الأجيال المبتسرة الضعيفة الغير قادرة علي مواجهة العالم القاسي اللي حوالينا. داحنا حتي ماعندناش عيادة ومركز صحة نفسية في الكلية !
أنا ماعنديش كلام أقوله زيادة. بس للشخص ده أيا كان هو وأينما كان، ده لو مانتحرش من القهر، أحب أقول له، انت مش لواحدك. ومش لواحدك اللي هتنتحر. اليأس في البلد دي بقي أسلوب حياة. أو زي ما قيل، هنا حيث تحطم الأحلام. والسلام ختام.
