Question

jaynator495's extension is illegally tracking ur personal activities done in the browser, record ur ip address & personal messages and send it to his backend without our permission, he can use it then to find out where u live. thank god i didnt login in my acc under his extension

for the safety of your OS usage, please remove the extension and report it on google web store (where u downloaded it), and hopefully google can take this virus down

Answer 1

OS mods get your IP address too...

Answer 2

And Jay doesn't care where you live. If he knew, what would he do? The mods all trust him enough to have it, so don't worry.

Answer 3

the problem is there's no warning or whatsoever about him doing this when u download the extension, its all done without the user's consent

Answer 4

but if u open chrome developers u can see all the creepy stuffs its sending to his server about ur activities in the browser

Answer 5

jaynator i need a convincing explanation from u for why u tracking our ips

Answer 6

@leonardozz , Most of the website you open acquire your IP address so if his extension is tracking your IP then it's not singular. It's not that easy to track someone simply by knowing IPs. Most they can do is know your service provider and your city/state.

Answer 7

IP address is like your mobile number, if you make a call the receiver will always know your number.

Answer 8

@Abhisar you are incorrect, there is a lot of things a person can do if they know your IP. They can port scan you, see if you are running vulnerable software on a port, and if you are perhaps they can drop down a root shell or something else less favourable. (Not to mention the possible D/DoS attempts, etc.)

@leonardozz your proof? I would start Wireshark or look through the source of the CRX however that seems boring. So you do it.

The feature that OpenStudy moderators have called "Ip Check" does not give the ip of the user. It only lists accounts that are associated under the same ip address, so there is no need to fear that a moderator can find out where you live.

If an admin uses that feature, then I believe it will list the ip address over there.

@algorithmic , My comment was regarding tracking an individual by means of IP address.

1 No you cannot... this information is all private, as well as the fact the only information i get as far as ip addresses go is what files are accessed on my server, lets say you access the file "yolo.css" im going to have the recorded in a log stating that "this IP address tried to access so and so file at so and so time", this is a requirment by LAW to have this information recorded...

As far as recording the codes that are entered, this is simply so i can improve the extension and add some of the codes that werent there yet, for privace reasons it only goes by username NOT IP for this...

This is mostly correct, but as i just said all websites must by law aquire the ip address, this is so hackers and such can actually be tracked in the event of someone stealing private information from a web server... There are other reasons why that is a law, but this is a big one...

the first part is true, however do i really look like someone thats going to do that? :/

as for the second part...
The CRX file itself has practicly nothing, the entire extension is almost all server side (this is because its a lot faster to do updates and also its faster all around for people using the extension, if it was a larger extension it would slow down chrome, which is why i shrunk it down as much as i did.)

this is also true LOL

Answer 19

And as for what was posted on my post...
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @leonardozz
nice try janitor but u couldn't find my username on ur backend is bcz i didnt login with my account under ur extension
ur extension is illegally stealing storing our OS user's personal information, record our IP addresses, and send them to ur backend without our permission, not to mention u use it to track our location
janitor, provide us a convincing argument of why u do this
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
Now lets go over this... It is not storing any personal information, The IP addresses are legal and ALL web servers do it... it is actually a LAW to record this information... And i do not track locations... So if you are done... ._.

Answer 20

Okay I think were done here, you tryed to mess with me, but i'm not the one to mess with... Simply because of the fact i know what im talking about, and you are simply just an internet troll trying to make me look bad :P

So now, if this is all wrapped up, anyone up for lunch? My treat LOL, you have to buy the plane ticket to vegas though LOL

Answer 21

Answer 22

:O

Answer 23

@Jaynator495 show me the proof where it says your chrome extension by LAW has to to have IP address recorded..."

Answer 24

The chrome extension runs on scripts and css from my server, the data is brought from the server to openstudy, thefor that has to be logged...
Its not the extension that is logged...
It is the files it loads.

Answer 25

If your really immature enough to need proof of the fact that the files it loads is whats logged... http://prntscr.com/7p5ls0

Answer 26

@Jaynator495 first, you insist many times on there's actually a LAW that says chrome extension HAS to record IP? wtf? if you are not insulting viewer's intelligence show us that law

Answer 27

if u can't, wrap up your extension and steal info from some other sites

Answer 28

@Jaynator495 second, "The chrome extension runs on scripts and css from my server, the data is brought from the server to openstudy, thefor that has to be logged..."
wow wait a second here, the data is fetched from server when extension activates, there's zero reason why u need the users ip addresses from any technical point of view, explain us CLEARLY why u have to log them

Answer 29

Sorry about the wait, i had to go and do some yard work...

Answer 30

i will continue the response i was typing soon, im going to go have lunch, have a laugh about this... then come back and finish my response...

tbh im laughing at this now...
its just such a bad attempt filled with impossible things that makes no sense aswell as stuff you couldnt be bothered to do reasearch into its just funny XD

Answer 31

haha right, take your time to come up with a good excuse explaining why you are recording people's IP addresses as well their personal messages

Answer 32

ok back, now to continue the message :P

what part of no personal information is recorded do you not comprehend... you do realize that for a troll, im the one laughing right? i dont have anywhere to be, im intentionally trying to drag this out instead of just letting eric (e.mccormick) explain it... because honestly im having a good laugh here...

There is a law, however it states access logs, once again because your to hard headed (btw, im not sure if you got this, but im legitimitly having fun trying to put you in your place :P if your trying to get a reaction out of me, you did get a few laughs, ill give you that) it is not the extension, it is the resources it loads from MY website... this exponentially speeds up the extension, while at the same time making sure it doesnt slow down chrome to file sizes, it fetches the files from my website, and executes the scripts and css, and in some cases the css is in the script... the website needs to log all attempts to access files... and even if i didnt i couldnt do squat about that part... #BuiltIntoTheWebServerOutOfMyControl...
(i legitimetly couldnt breathe for a second there this is so funny x'D)

Considering ive been here since 2010, a trusted user, an ambassador AND a intern for openstudy, i think it speaks for itself that this extension doesnt do stuff it shouldnt, several os staff/moderators have gone through the code themselves with nothing malicious to be found... :P

Answer 36

i am curious about who would give you a medal though LOL *checks his medal logs*

Answer 37

Honestly Jay, I know you wouldn't abuse having information about people, and I know that if the mods can trust you, I can easily trust you. And tbh, you're having too much fun stating this D

This is incorrect, this process is automatic to ensure server security, for example lets say someones scanning through my server, they wouldnt get anything because i can identify that they're trying to scan it and block it from finishing its scan automaticly... There is many reasons why this is required. :P

Answer 40

TBH, im sorta glad your doing this, because all your really doing is getting my extension more installs and publicity, because people actually know i wouldnt do that... :P

so thats who gave you a medal :P http://prntscr.com/7p6sw7

Answer 41

Of course!!!

Answer 42

notice the z on both of there usernames? :P

Answer 43

Good lord im getting so many medals for this ._.

Answer 44

Good.

Answer 45

BTW, if you were REALLY observant you would have realized im not the only one getting peoples IP... the favorites menu isnt finished on my server (yet) so in the meantime people are using the one from dumbsearch2's extension, (ofcs eventually it will be done on my server using my favorites menu x'D) But his server is also getting your IP everytime you open up the menu...

Every Website gets your ip the second you load a webpage, along with the webpage that was loaded :P

So why dont you complain to google? the company that DOES invade privacy?
or how about yahoo?
bing?
Reddit?
Facebook?
Oh heres one! Microsoft...
Heck i can even go as far to say that the windows operating system is classified as a virus (and is one) in itself!

Are you gonna sue openstudy cause they get your ip too!

twitter, minecraftplanet... heck every minecraft server host even has a log of all IPs that connect to the server, are you gonna sue EA games for their game servers?

orrrrr maybe youtube? google+? hangouts? skype? hell, skype you can forcibly send viruses just by being in a call with a person... you dont see people using skype complaining do yah?

Or how about game of war, the one who uses there website to update their app without sending out a update (also unfortantly, at the same time never updates there desk because of pure lazyness :/)

You see what im getting at?

How about you sue AND WIN a lawsuit against every website, and 20% of apps made... and all servers made... AS well as your own COMPUTER, because guess what, your own computer logs every LAST thing you do down to the KEY PRESS, so are you gonna sue your own computer? nope... ok then i think were done here and you can stop :P...

I was saving this because of the fact that i didnt want to end it instantly, it was too fun... :P

Answer 57

lol, this argument gave me laughs too. I have the extension too. @Jaynator495 I trust you. I know you wouldn't do that stuff. @Jaynator495 is awesome and he knows what he is talking and doing.

Answer 73

And TSO... NEVER

Answer 74

all openstudy activities you've been on under the extension are purposely tracked down and sent to @jaynator495 for him and his underwear to creep on
if you enjoy letting a 16 year old fapping furiously on your browser history while writing pelletty javascript that freezes your browser plz continue using his extension

Answer 75

@leonardozz
You think Jay Jay here is 16+? You're sadly mistaken. Nice guess though. LOL.

He is a young, looked-up-to technical masterminded genius, an overlord of codes and scripts. He's also the one contributing to making the Andriod app for this site! I trust his extension, and plus, I haven't had any problems with my browser except from some laughs with his ingenious codes work. I had quite a good laugh reading some ironic points on this post...

Answer 76

@Jesstho.-. thank you for your concern, but I think you should just drop the issue as it isn't look pretty on your side lel

Answer 77

@Abhisar you can track someone via their IP easily as I said in my earlier post it all still applies. Instead of a root shell just think of a RAT, which can screenshot your screen, and keylog your information. A lot more than knowing ones service provider, and their city, and state is possible.

Tracking IPs isnt as easy as you think, you cant just go poof and get someones pinpoint location, in 90% of cases you need a warrant and need to fill a aplication to their internet provider for them to eventually release the location of the client, and even then they often dont... no exceptions, not even for government... :/

alright it is safe... let us test it.
all of you who think it is safe, list your valid IP addresses here.

Ok, that would be a invasion of privacy because then the IP addresses can be linked to a username, the way i have it, it is annonymous data, no usernames from os are associated with them...

Answer 83

so are you invading privacy?

Answer 84

I could have very easily associate it with os usernames in 5 minutes, but i didnt because some people prefer not to lend out their ip address, and since their are so many users... it is unlikely to actually be able to pair any with os usernames without adding the code neccessary to do so

Answer 85

I am extending the concept of collection and dissemination of information and notice of both.

Answer 86

how am I invading privacy when I am letting people display their IP addresses instead of my collecting without their knowledge?

Answer 87

it's just an IP address, correct? It would be difficult and a person would need to jump through hoops (unbelievable and almost impossible) just to be able to gather one's relative information. Let us test how true this is.

Answer 88

If you ask them to display it, it is no longer annonymous, because they are posting it with their os username... thats how...

Plus with that logic eveyr website in the world will say somewhere that they collect ip addresses...

Answer 89

so what is the violation you claim? how then am I invading.. it is not an act of invasion, but a clever way of social engineering.

Plus once again, with that logic go sue openstudy because they have a log just like mine, listing ip's along with date file accessing, all to PREVENT invasion of privacy... -_-

Answer 93

should i put in big bolded letters on my home page "HEY WE COLLECT IP's BECAUSE WE HAVE TO!" no... -_-
