This book is for all of us who have gotten screwed out there and have thought there was nothing we could do about it.
Introduction
I only recommend these ideas for entertainment and humorous purposes. Keeping that in mind, let’s begin.
So you’re looking for really mean revenge ideas? Is the stuff on the web just not meaningful enough for you? Most of the stuff out there that’s free consists of fun pranks, gags, or practical jokes. No one really teaches you how to destroy some jerk’s life. If you want serious, hardcore revenge, you are in the right place. The contents of this e-book will teach you how to ruin somebody’s life, so only use it in self-defense.
Do not take this information lightly and use it only on victims who have drastically wronged you.
The information in this book is like a gun. It can be used for good or evil depending on who wields it. If you want to use this information to hurt innocent people I hope these ideas blow up in your face and Karma kicks you right in the ass. If you are seeking justice and nobody will help you, then this book is for you.
I strive to live my life by the ideas liberty and the non-aggression principle. That basically means I don’t believe in initiating force toward others to accomplish any goal. I ONLY believe in the use of force after somebody has deprived me of freedom, livelihood, or property. I am one of the most peaceful and forgiving people on the planet. I would never strike first and would not knowingly do somebody wrong or destroy someone’s property or livelihood. With all that being said, unfortunately, some predators in the world see someone who lives by the non-aggression principle as an easy target. It is an invitation to them to try to cheat and take advantage of you. In my early life I felt like I was becoming a doormat, always getting used and scammed. Where I went wrong was I expected people to be honest, good, and actually keep their word to me. Most people were honest and good, but I had many run-ins with opportunists and predatory jerks.
I got sick of being screwed over and never getting justice. Many scam artists screw people over and smile about it. The con man knows the system is useless to try and use against them. If you ever tried to get justice with the system you know it is laughable. Even if by a miracle you win a judgment it is almost impossible to collect retribution. Soon one realizes they need to make their own justice and forget about using the legal route.
I am sure you know those kinds of conmen. They can be easy to like or even to fall in love with. You want to help them and believe they are good. Unfortunately, they take and take and take. They betray your kindness and backstab you. They have no conscience about defrauding you and moving on to do it to their next victim like a locust. Do you know this person? I’ll bet you do!
In my own life, I would try to seek justice through the legal realm with absolutely no help whatsoever. The government is corrupt and completely worthless. It just makes you spend more money you don’t have and protects the person who victimized you. When I used the system I realized I was getting victimized twice. I also came to the realization that I would have to take things into my own hands to get justice. I feel the best way to get justice is to get revenge.
A good rule of thumb is to only cause as much pain as was caused you. You need to keep payback balanced. If you deal out way more payback then they deserve, the universe has a funny way of making sure you stay in balance and it will come back and bite you in the butt.
Okay, so let us get down to the nuts and bolts. First thing is first. You need to learn how to become anonymous.
CHAPTER ONE
BECOME INVISIBLE
I will teach you how to attack somebody without them knowing who you are. I am a big believer of stealth revenge. It keeps you out of legal trouble and protects your assets.
First, let’s discuss human nature for a moment. It is human nature to always see yourself as a victim. The victim role is a nice place to be. Everyone feels sorry for you and it allows your logical mind to justify doing wrong to other people. Let me explain that better.
I have seen this so many times from patients, roommates, girlfriends and business colleagues. A person will cheat you and then portray themselves as the victim. I was a doctor and patients would sing my praises during their round of treatments. Afterwards, they would not pay me when their insurance didn’t cover all the treatments and they would disappear. When I would try to collect what they owed me I would find out their tune had dramatically changed. I’d learn they had trashed me around town, saying what an awful doctor I was, that I had ripped them off.
In order to justify not paying me, and basically stealing from me, they had to vilify me in their mind. I guarantee the person who victimized you has probably vilified you so they can justify screwing you over in their own minds.
What’s this got to do with becoming invisible and attacking by stealth, you ask? It is a warning about human nature. If you openly strike back, you are begging for retaliation. The retaliation will be on a much nastier level of attack then the original insult.
As tempting as it is to rub your revenge in the face of your victim, it creates a revenge war mentality. Some people ALWAYS have to have the last word and they will keep attacking you until it escalates completely out of control. This is how people get shot or run over.
Yes, I know this is a very passive aggressive mentality, but trust me; you want to attack anonymously and be able to deny it. It will drive your victim crazy. They will suspect it is you, but be unable to prove it, and that in itself creates its own joy.
Let’s get down to brass tacks. In order to become invisible, you will have to spend some money. Unfortunately, there is no way around spending a little money because you need what I call “revenge tools.” I will recommend as many free things as I can, but with some products, you do not want to take chances and compromise.
Many of the serious revenge ideas require you to use a computer. First, you need to hide your IP address. For you who are not computer savvy, let me explain.
IP ADDRESSES
You might not be aware of it but your computer has a number address that it leaves on everything you look at on the net. It is like leaving a card with your home address on it everywhere you go in the electronic world. Scary, isn’t it!
Tech savvy people can trace anything you do back to your IP address and find you. You will need to hide your IP address first before you start your attacks. The best way to do this is to use a program that will obscure your IP address. These days there are tons of good programs out there that let you hide or spoof your IP. Just search for “IP Address spoof” or “Hide IP” and you can find a good one.
You can also combine these programs with www.anonymization.com, which is a search tool bar that you can install to add multiple privacy levels. The more cloaks of privacy there are, the better. There is even a service called www.startpage.com that allows you to surf completely anonymously. It is sort of like Google without all the spyware and tracking of your information.
It is rumored that if someone is good enough to bust through all your walls of defense, they can track you by your computer’s serial number and software registration. If you are really doing some hardcore payback, I suggest you use an anonymous phone and cash. Also buy a random, used computer to use in your revenge strikes. If it is traced, the name won’t be yours!
CASH CARDS
Always use cash if you can. Anytime you order with a credit card, check, or anything with your name attached, you can be easily be tracked. You can always use money orders, but some places will not take them and they have a habit of disappearing when you mail them in. You will need to hide your money trail, which means cash or gift cards in an alias name.
Did you ever wonder how immigrants are able to get credit cards without a social security number or ID? When you inspect closer, you’ll find they are not credit cards, but are debit cash cards or gift cards. These cards work wherever credit cards work. You can buy anonymous gift credit cards or debit cards everywhere for a nominal fee.
The easiest place to get one without revealing your identity is a check cashing business. If they require a name, go ahead and use your victim’s name and address, and say that you don’t have a picture ID. The check cashing places usually could care less who you are and will give you a card as long as you’ve got cash with which to pay their fees. These days, gas stations and drug stores are great locations to obtain a debit cash card, too.
Keep your eyes open, because many people just throw these cards out when they are empty and get another. If you find an empty one, you can refill it and your identity will remain safe.
UNTRACEABLE PHONE
You also need to hide your phone number. Some of these revenge ideas require you to make anonymous calls. Find a coin operated public phone, if you can, but even that can be traced back to you if there are security cameras in the area.
Another good way to remain anonymous is to use a VOIP phone. For you non computer savvy folks, that is a phone the works using the Internet. It is much cheaper then a real phone, but you need high speed internet in order to use it. The best bang for the buck hands down is Skype or Magic Jack. Skype has been around a while, but it is a neat system that works wonderfully for what you need. You can buy just the outgoing phone line so you will not have a phone number that someone can call you back on.
When the victim receives a phone call, the phone number will appear on their caller ID like this: 00001123456. This is a great way to hide yourself.
When using Skype, remember to hide your IP address and pay with an anonymous gift card.
There are also many programs where you can change what your caller ID says. You can change it to Planned Parenthood, or Investigation and Fraud Department. With a little imagination you can have tons of fun with this technology. Just search for “caller ID spoofer”.
You can also buy a prepaid cell phone with an alias and call people anonymously, but they get expensive quickly! Just use the *67 command to block your caller ID and this phone will be damn near impossible to trace. If you are doing hardcore paybacks you will want to try to buy an older model without a GPS tracker built in. You can still find these on Ebay if you look hard enough. If you are lucky enough to find one, it will be impossible to track you down through your phone.
WEBSITES and EMAIL
Some of these payback ideas require you to use anonymous emails or set up bogus websites. If you’re tech savvy, this is a no brainer and available everywhere. If you are not tech savvy, I can help. You can set up an anonymous email at Gmail, Yahoo or Thunderbird. You can set up a free anonymous website if you just search the net for a minute. As long as you have protected your IP well you will be good to go.
Want to really cover your butt and make yourself impossible to track? Do all three of these things in order:
Hide your IP address;
Create a free email with a fake name;
Use a third party mail out service like www.hushmail.com . What this allows is a hard-to-track go between for your victim’s email and yours.
PROTECT YOURSELF
Don’t be a target yourself so somebody else can use these ideas on you. The next thing you want to tackle is your network. I am not trying to be overly technical, but I do need to explain some basics in case you don’t know.
Many computers are on wireless networks. The computer sends information through the air into a network wireless modem. If you’re not sure if you have one, it will be a big blinking box with an antenna connected to a phone line or cable.
A wireless network makes it so easy to steal your information, hack your computer, and basically screw with you. They are an open invitation for mischief.
Make sure you at least have your network password protected. It is pretty easy to do and you can find the option under your network button in your control panel. That won’t stop the experts, but it will deter most people. Also, turn off your wireless when you’re not using it. I mean literally unplug the thing from the wall. I know it can be a pain, but it cuts the avenue for hackers when it is not in use.
Shred Everything! If you really make someone mad, or if you have a stalker, you need to do this. Your stalker will take your trash and clone your identity to keep an eye out on all your business.
Also, shred computer files using a shredder program. It is surprisingly easy to recover anything you have deleted unless you electronically shred it. There are lots of free programs out there if you search “data wiping” or “data shredding”.
Of course, turn on your firewalls and set passwords, but you also want to eliminate and protect your computer from spy ware. Run spyware checks constantly. Spy software is getting so sneaky these days.
Try to use a land line or computer phone line whenever possible. It is surprisingly easy to clone a cell phone and listen in to all your calls.
Please remember, you really have NO privacy rights at all when it comes to the government. They can break through any firewall you throw up without a warrant. Any email you send can be read and used against you. Thank you, Patriot Act, for taking a big dump on our privacy rights! Some of these ideas involve using the government on your victim. The only way to protect yourself is to become completely anonymous so that even if they can see the emails, they have no idea who sent it.
CHAPTER TWO
INFORMATION LETS YOU OWN YOUR VICTIM
How can you become a detective and gather information about your victim?
You might be dealing with an ex you were intimate with and/or married to, a backstabbing friend, bad business partner or stalker, but one thing remains the same. Information is king! It is amazing to see somebody who was destroying your life suddenly back off in fear. It feels great to turn the tables on your victim and have the ability to destroy their life the way they tried to destroy yours.
Let me share a story out of my own life to prove this point.
I had a guy I knew at my first job who was jealous of me. He was constantly doing things to draw attention to me and my then devious ways. He was a busy body who would not mind his own business. Needless to say it got very old, and I got in trouble every time I came in late and left early.
I decided to turn the tables and become my own busy body.
I started spying on him; I listened to his calls while hiding around the corner. I knew he had a girlfriend who always came in and ate at the restaurant we were working in. Right after she left, he would always take a break and get on the phone.
One day I overheard him say to someone that his girlfriend was leaving town and that he could stay over for the night but would need a ride to work.
The next day before his shift I hid in a bush outside the restaurant with a camera and waited for him to get dropped off. A car pulled up and he got out. He walked over to the driver, learned in and delivered a kiss. SNAP! I took a picture. You can imagine my surprise when I realized the person he was kissing was a man.
Later, when I was alone with him, I told him that I saw him get dropped off. He got very quiet and I let him know I didn’t appreciate him constantly getting me in trouble at work.
He got the message and never talked about me again at work. Had it gone further, and he did not comply with my wishes, I had plenty of ammo to use against him. I had a picture of him kissing a man, license plate # of the boyfriend, and I knew his girlfriend.
The right information on someone can let you own them. It is an ironic time we live in when the only way to get someone to act ethically is to force them into it by being unethical.
The way to get someone to back off or to leave you alone is to hold information over their head.
LOW TECH SPYING
There are, of course, so many ways to do this. You can use some low tech spying by just hiding out of sight and listening to your victim’s conversations! You would be amazed at the dirt you can dig up on a co-worker or ex by just hiding right out of sight and listening.
Start off by simply spying on your victim. Cell phones are unbelievable these days and you can film and record easily without being obvious. See if you can catch them in compromising positions. You can even go super old school and swear a simple disguise like a hat and big sunglass. Stay far away from them to take your photos or simply plant your phone and leave it recording where you know they hang out. It is amazing the things your phone will pick up in a break room.
You can also steal their mail out of their box, but I advise against this strategy. Although this is highly illegal and you can go to jail if caught, the amount of information you can get from a mailbox is amazing. The safer and legal way to do it is just wait for them to throw out their mail and dig it out of the trash.
To open a letter without tearing it up use this very old technique that still works well. Use just a little water and wet the flap on the back especially where the glue seal is. Stick it in the microwave at low or medium heat and watch for the steam to buckle the glue. When you see this pull it out and open it quickly. When you’re done reading the mail, just apply a little glue to the flap, push down and seal it back up
If you don’t give a damn about breaking the law, then it is far better to reroute their mail to you at a fake address. It might be months before they figure it out. It is better to anonymously get a mail box and send their mail to an abandoned address or an old mailbox that nobody uses anymore. Just pick up a change of address form at the Post Office, fill it out, and drop it in a mail box.
If you really want to make this convincing, open the important mail you want to see using the microwave steam method. Then seal them back up and return the mail to the victim’s mailbox. Copy the information you want, but don’t forget to wear gloves when you do this. Then be careful when you return it to their box and remember to remove all the forwarding stickers. They will think they are still getting mail and you will get all their important information you want. When you get all the info you need, change their mail address back to normal and the victim will have never known.
The best way to gather information is also a safer legal way. Just take their trash bags. A ton of people still don’t shred their papers and it is perfectly legal to just grab their trash bags on the road. You can find out all sorts of interesting things about your victim like:
All their utilities account numbers!
Their phone records and what numbers they call and when!
Their financial information, stocks, bonds, real estate and bank accounts!
Personal letters and cards!
Credit card and debit card information!
Receipts of where they go and what they buy!
Trash can be a goldmine of information to ruin somebody. This art is lovingly known as “dumpster diving.”
You can also pay a little bit of money and buy a ton of information about somebody. Again you will want to pay for this anonymously. They have what are known as information farms all over the Internet. You can get your victims social security #, bank info, real estate transactions, etc. These information farms could care less what you do with the information, and it is truly amazing what they can find out on somebody for just $50.
HIGH TECH AND COMPUTER ATTACKS
I will try to keep this low tech for you non-computer savvy people and you can do more research about any ideas you like. My main goal is to make you aware of this technology and how to use it as weapons for revenge.
PHONES
Let us start with a phone attack. Being able to listen to people’s phone conversations can allow you to create massive havoc in your victim’s life. There are a few good ways to do this.
The first is the old fashioned phone jacking. If your victim has an old fashioned landline, you can find the outside phone jack and just plug in. The phone company has a little box on the outside of the house that has a jack with a short phone cable sticking into it. You can just plug a splitter into the jack outlet and run your own line. If you don’t plan on spying this way too much, you can just buy a very long phone line and plug into the jack, as I just explained. Unfortunately, the long phone cable can be seen running from the house so you might want to do this at night and definitely remove the cable when you are done. Just park around the corner and listen in.
One can also buy a little device you can plug in that converts and sends the signal wirelessly to you. It is pretty pricey, but a less obvious form of phone jacking.
Do you want to get the victims phone records?
If you have the victim’s cell phone number, account number and SS number you can usually get their phone records. Go to the homepage of the cell provider and type in their phone number. Ninety-nine per cent of the time, the victim has never bothered to set up an account online.
The cell provider might ask the last four digits of the SS number but that’s about it. Just set up a new account and password, and have it emailed to your anonymous email address.
The provider will send you an email saying your account is set up and all you have to do is log back in. You will be able to search and print all their phone records online. You can also cause havoc by massively upgrading their plan to the most expensive choice, or cancelling their plan so they get slammed with fines.
If they happen to have set up their account online, you will need to call in and have the victim’s information ready. Have their SS number, mother’s maiden name and maybe their pet’s name. Tell them to set up a new password because you forgot it and you have a new email address (your anonymous one). Make sure to cover yourself with a voice changer or disguise your voice, and also use an anonymous phone when calling in.
Cell phones are a different story. If their cell phone has a bluetooth wireless function, these can be jacked into pretty easily. This will only work in about a 30 foot radius, so this is only good for co-workers who sit close to you.
A better idea is to Blue Snarf a phone. What this means is you get your laptop within about 30 feet of a persons phone and you can hack into it and download all of their information. You can get their address book, phone numbers and calendar.
Just search “Bluetooth jacking” and “Snarfing”.
A better way to attack a cell phone is to clone it. Cloning basically lets you reprogram your phone so that it is a duplicate of your victim’s. Whenever someone calls your victim, both you and the victim can pick it up and use the phone. Just mute yourself and listen in. Each brand of cell phone is different. Again, you will want to set this up with an anonymous debit card or use a phone company that does not require contracts or ID. You can also buy a used cell phone off the Internet and use that to create a clone.
This area of technology changes all the time so you will need to do your own research to figure out the latest thing.
COMPUTER HIJACKING
If you have not figured it out yet, your computer is not safe! If people really knew how easy it is to steal password or hijack their computer there would be massive panic and nobody would ever store personal information again. I am going to show you some very basic spy and hacking techniques that will get you oodles of information.
Computer hijacking is the most direct, easy and informative source by which to gain a victim’s personal information. There are many ways to do this, depending on the type of access you can get to the victim’s computer.
If you have physical access to their computer, you can get all their information surprisingly easily.
If they don’t have any passwords to protect their operating system it’s a breeze. You just need to be alone with the computer for a few minutes. You can surf around and see their history, or sometimes people save their email settings so when their browser opens, it automatically sings them in. If the victim uses instant messaging, they sometimes forget that when they hit the instant messaging icon, it can automatically sign you to the associated mail account too.
If you are in an office setting and on the same network, you can just go to your network settings and view their computer. You may have to know the name of the computer, but you can only see what they are doing at that particular time. Unfortunately, this is very limited and you have to be there to see what they are seeing. This would really only be worth it in an office situation.
If you need to bypass their first password that comes up when the computer boots up, you can type “admin” in the user name and no password. That will at least get you into an area where you can run a spy program. If that does not work, you can try using a recovery disc.
A recovery disc is a disc used to bypass unknown passwords. The idea of a recovery disc is if an employee acts out and changes the password when you fire them, or if you bought a used computer with a password you don’t know, the recovery disc can get you around that. Network administrators stick in this disc and it bypasses the start up password and lets you make a new one. The one problem with this is you have to set a new password. This can be a big tip off to the victim that somebody is screwing with their computer, but most likely a victim will just blame it on the computer being crappy and old.
A much better and simpler way is to just invest in a good key logger program and install it on the victims computer. Key loggers are evil little programs that allow you to see everything your victim does. Parents secretly use key loggers on children all the time to see what their children are really doing when no one is watching them. I have also heard of children installing a key logger on their parents. They used the information to blackmail their parents into letting them do whatever they want and break the house rules. Nothing backs Mommy off like showing her a naughty chat log with a man who is not her husband. These are all things a good key logger should allow you to do.
Let’s go through what you want in a good key logging program, one by one.
Stealth Monitoring- This means when the key logger is installed no search can find it.
Password capture- This allows you to get any name and password associated with that login.
Immune to Anti-Spy ware – Almost every computer has a spy ware protector on it. A good key logger will not be found, but they are usually the pricier ones.
Instant Messaging, webcam and microphone archiving - This will record both sides of an instant messaging conversation and all the webcam interactions and conversations. This feature alone is invaluable. Imagine not only getting the IM history but getting a webcam video of your victim, too. Think of all the perverted secrets you will have proof of. You want one that can be remotely installed and monitored. This means you can sneak this program in an email and trick your victim into opening it. It will act like a virus and you will be completely able to spy on your victim’s computer from your home.
The world of key loggers changes every week, so you will want to do more of your own research for that.
So what to do if you cannot physically get to the victims computer?
Most of the Key logging programs can be snuck into an email and it will go to work. Simply set up an anonymous account like I said to do above and pretend to be one of the victim’s trusted friend’s who happens to be setting up a new email. Send a few friendly emails to build their trust and then attach a picture and the program, and say something like, “Hey, is this you in this picture?”
If you cannot get them to open an email with the hidden program you will have to hijack their network. You will have to get into the victim’s wireless range, so just bring your laptop and park on the street. You need to do a little research to find the best program for this. Some programs that can break in are considered a password recovery tool for network administrators, but they can be used to steal passwords right out of the air. Basically, it works like an intermediary between a wireless network and a computer. A computer and the wireless network are always talking. It basically sticks itself in the middle of that process. Normally, a password goes straight from the victim’s computer to the victim’s wireless router. With some hacking programs the victim’s password goes from the victim’s computer to your computer then to the victim’s wireless router.
Once you have the password, you can sign into the network and victim’s computer and force it to open a key logger attached email. This will infect the victim’s computer, and if you erase your installing activity, they will have no clue how it got there.
I cannot say this enough: once a good key logger program has infected your victim’s computer, you can really dish out some serious revenge.
For more research on hacking into modems and computers search these terms.
“Code scanning”, “break the encryption”.
“Wireless packet sniffing”
“War Driving”
“Turbo encabulator”
Password ripping programs will automatically try every word in the dictionary to break a password. John the Ripper is my favorite.
TRACKING YOUR VICTIM
There are a few ways to do this depending on your budget. The cheapest is to stalk your victim and follow them around with a camera.
Another good way is to track them by GPS. If they have a cell phone with GPS capabilities, you can track them by their phone. In 2006, the government admitted to tracking people through their cell phones. The agents went so far as to turn them on without the owner’s knowledge and listen in to their conversations. God bless this government and their helpful hand! You mean the government forgot to tell you they could do this to you without a warrant? Thank you again Patriot Act!
You can use the same technology to track people, too. You can look into a program called “world tracker” to get better information.
The other route is to actually plant a GPS tracker on somebody’s car. They are small little black boxes that you can attach under the car. A warning, however; they are very pricey, ranging anywhere from about $300-$3000.
You can make a poor man’s GPS tracker for less then $100 using this technique. The simplest way to use a GPS tracking service is to buy a prepaid phone that is GPS-enabled. You then need to subscribe to a GPS Locator service. You then have to plant the phone and recover it every few days. You will be able to use this service and get a complete time and record of your victim’s whereabouts.
You can be even cheaper and track them for free. If you have your victim’s cell phone information, and the victim’s phone is GPS-enabled, you can sign them up for this service by pretending to be them. Remember earlier when I told you how to take over your victim’s cell phone account? All you have to do is turn on something like parent tracker in the account. Then you can track the victim’s phone with your computer. Unfortunately, the downside to this is the victim will know they are being tracked as soon as they get their next bill, so this might work for only one month, unless, of course, you change the address of the cell phone bill.
USING THE INTERNET
This might be obvious, but have you Googled your victim’s name yet? You would be very surprised how easy it is to find out all about a person by typing in their name and variations of their name.
Did you get scammed or lied to about who a person really is, or where they really live? If you know their address or phone number, but not their real name, you can use a reverse listing service. Just search for them, there are free ones all over the net. You can also pay an information farm for their information if you have to. You can get everything from social security numbers to records of every thing they own. Collection agencies use information farms all the time to uncover hidden assets and attach judgments to properties. Just search the web for skip tracers and you will find a ton of the information farms.
If a person did you wrong and vanished, you can pay a skip tracer to locate them. They search for new utility bills, mailing addresses and things like that. You will have to be patient because it can take time for the person to resurface, but they always do eventually.
If you don’t have time for these ideas, you can always just hire a local private investigator. It is truly amazing how fast a good private investigator can dig up dirt on somebody.
