Flipping all of the images upside down was a little too subtle though. I prefer the all-out, in-your-face kind of April Fools revenge prank.

It turns out all I had to do was find the IP addresses for my housemates’ computers, create the awesome pwned page, and issue two commands on my DD-WRT router:

root@Madrona:~# iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -s 192.168.1.187 -p tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.42
root@Madrona:~# iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -s 192.168.1.190 -p tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.42

When those two housemates went to check Facebook (or any site) this morning, they were greeted with this instead:

Pwned by the Zaxor!

Pwned by the Zaxor!

Their reactions made it worth it. Tyler said, “Pwned? What is pwned?” David said, “What the hell is a Zaxor?”

Even though I downed the entire Tabasco and Whiskey shot, let this be a lesson that I always take my revenge convey my thanks in kind.
