Some hackers (as opposed to crackers) do it for the thrill and to show people what could happen... I hope to god that this dude did this to me to show me the flaws of the net. But, he didnt show me how he did it, I just figured it was via sniffing since I just found out that I had all of this insecurities with my setup. But, maybe he was just trying to show that my server was not hack-proof, in fact, it was easily hackable, and thus I have a better server now, and it won't happen to me again (this easily, anyway). So, for that, I thank the guy. I also thank him for not running "rm *" heh.... yeah.
