For the first time, we have a "developer" here on the skid list. Indeed, a professional programmer of great prowess and ingenuity.
He goes by the name "Suit" (also "saywh4t" and others) on skidforums:
http://www.hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=438020
At first glance, he appears to be a typical "bot herder," trojan spreader, and password thief. Dime a dozen.

| Bot exchanging service |
 |
| lol |
What makes him stand out, though, are his endeavoring malware development projects:
 |
| Shitty advertisement |
 |
| Another shitty advertisement |
Truly revolutionizing the field of skidware. Do his claims hold any water, though? What gives his "products" a competitive edge?
Suit, otherwise known as Reece Chambers, did all of his development for s00tbot with webhosting from xhostfire.com; a now defunct web hosting service for skids.
I gently slipped a shell into his website's sandy beach and listened to its soft murmurs.

Here's some of his botnet panel code; his comments prefaced with "//", mine with "/*".
$hwid = ($_POST['hwid']); //Collects hwid
...
$pc = ($_POST['pc']); //Collects pc name
/* what ever would I do without those helpful comments */
$query = "INSERT INTO `".$sqlSettings['tableVisitorsList']."`";
$query .= "VALUES('', '$ipAddress', '$hwid', '$pc', '$os', '$status', '$country', '$mode', '', '$tStamp', '$tStamp', '', '')";
/* this looks perfectly safe */
He also made his own proprietary PHP "obfuscator" for distributing the source, which sadly enough I'm sure will still stop most script babbies.
function kEFFEX($NmkVE)
{
$NmkVE=gzinflate(base64_decode($NmkVE));
for($i=0;$i<strlen($NmkVE);$i++)
{
$NmkVE[$i] = chr(ord($NmkVE[$i])-1); /* this ain't your father's gzinflate base64decode...he subtracts 1 and renames some variables too! */
}
return $NmkVE;
}eval(kEFFEX('longfuckingstring');
The binary itself is some shitty generic C#. Really making waves. Yawn.
Anyway, next I moved onto his Dropbox.
He put a very frightening legal notice inside his Dropbox folder:
DROPBOX EMPLOYEE'S PLEASE NOTE: All items in this folder are protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
Scanning, Decompiling, Executing, or Submitting these files to any entity without the expressed permission of Myself
is ILLEGAL and a VIOLATION of the DMCA laws and If you violate these laws we will contact our lawyers
I immediately stopped surveying the contents of the folder and DBAN'd my drive to avoid the risk of a lawsuit.
Since he foiled my plans to look at his Dropbox, I was about ready to throw my arms in the air and give up.
However, I got to thinking. His Dropbox was off-limits, but why not just remote into his desktop? I didn't see any mention of that in the DMCA warning. A loophole!
So I did, just to take a peek.
Just snapped a few brief shots. I certainly did not want to intrude!

I wanted to get a more personal look at Mr. Chambers. So much more can be conveyed in person than through cold, drab internet posts.
So, I sent an electromagnetic pulse to his webcam's lense and peered through it.
 |
| Hey, I can barely see you! |
 |
| That's better. |
So there're my observations of his programming abilities and top notch security safeguards.
Finally, here's a bit of info about Reece. All previously mentioned files, including his website and more goodies, are located at the bottom.
