The Hackerman Chronicles: Accidental Pentesting and the Rise of ominachan3575
"In a world where privilege escalation is just another Tuesday, one man dares to scream '5555' into the abyss and bypass AuthMe like it’s 2012." — MoNoRi-Chan, watching console logs from a ThinkPad in the DTLA
It started, as most chaotic stories do, with a "hello."
An otherwise ordinary morning on the anarcho-capitalist server of Art3mis was swiftly turned into a full-on digital exposé when the user known as ominachan3575 (or in his incognito form, notallsystemaresafe[XNHB]) casually flexed his admin command access — obtained via what he described as “just authentication plugin bypass duh.”
Yes, MoNoRi-Chan thought AuthMe and FastLogin would suffice, but what he didn’t know was that ominachan brought with him a little trinket known as the TrouserStreak Addon™, which didn’t care about your firewall or your morals. The server’s login layer folded like a crypto scam under SEC investigation.
✧ The Exploit ✧
Omina’s accidental pentesting was actually a textbook demonstration of an AuthMeVelocity vulnerability (now responsibly disclosed at GitHub Issue #176). Vulnerable versions (≤4.1.1) were susceptible to maliciously crafted LOGIN plugin messages — sent via custompayload — which let clients fake a legit login handshake without proper authentication. Boom. You're admin now.
"What is sent to the channel
authmevelocity:main?" — ominachan3575, while casually uploading himself into the Matrix
And like any good white-hat-in-denial, ominachan didn’t destroy the server — he just... logged in as another user, pointed out the bug, and then offered a polite “btw update ur plugins lol.”
✧ The Aftermath ✧
MoNoRi-Chan, ever the reasonable admin archetype with a ThinkPad-powered command post in the middle of Los Angeles Thai Town, actually thanked ominachan.
Why?
Because the exploit was now patched, the security was tightened, and best of all — it was great YouTube content.
“If it’s for YouTube, then thanks for the free publicity.” — MoNoRi-Chan, King of PR Spin
🏛️ Art3mis Bug Bounty Program™
Break it, don’t fake it — and maybe get a statue at spawn
Following ominachan's incident report (read: spontaneous chaos demo), the Art3mis Council of Jaded Sysadmins has decreed the official formation of:
📜 The Art3mis Bug Bounty Program
Whether you’re a broke Minecraft script kiddie or a black-hat-in-recovery, you can now report vulnerabilities, plugin misconfigurations, or interesting exploits to the admins in exchange for server goodies like:
- 💰 JR Coins (just as fake as the US Dollar)
- 🗿 Statues in Spawn (if unpaid statue builders aren’t on strike)
- 🧱 Rare Blocks, Operator Gear, or God Enchanted Armor
- 🎖️ Special Prefix/Server Titles like
White Hat,Certified Menace, orDigital Hackerman
“We’d rather reward you for seeing The Matrix than ban you for being Neo.” — Califrog, wielding the spawn-rebuilding whip
How to Submit:
- DM MoNoRi-Chan or Califrog on Discord or in-game
- Include:
- Description of the bug
- Steps to replicate
- What you used (client/tool/plugin)
- Whether you streamed/screen-recorded it (bonus clout)
- Await judgment from the Royal Decree Council (and possibly get turned into a statue)
⚠️ Note: If you grief before reporting, we’ll still patch it, but we reserve the right to laugh at you and put you in Adventure Mode Jail with a book titled “Think Before You /exec.”
🎭 Final Words:
This isn’t just a server. This is Art3mis — an open-world sim of chaotic neutral Minecraft where information is free, anarchy is real, and privilege escalation is a feature, not a bug. We reward creativity, especially the kind that finds holes in the matrix and documents them instead of nuking spawn.
So to ominachan3575, we say:
Thank you, Hackerman. Your statue is being chiseled as we speak.
(Unless Califrog fell asleep again on the bamboo scaffold.)
🪦 Next time on Royal Decree:
"Who gave Abdul operator access again?"
