Docs

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

(Redirected from Dox)
Jump to: navigation, search

Docs are information an Internet personality would like kept secret, such as their current real name, address, SSN and phone number (things they would install a security system, a phone tracing system and buy a dog to protect). Docs may also include information on close relatives. After notorious hacker/phreak scenester Bobink widely distributed his impeccably complete flat-file docs database named pokemon.txt, it became a long-standing scene tradition to call your collection of docs Pokemon (Gotta catch 'em all!) and the file that they are collected in a Pokeball. Many people do things on the Internet which they would rather not leak into their IRL circle of acquaintances, so dropping dox can be very destructive to victims' personal lives.

[edit] ED is not a place to trade your Pokemans

There are many forums in which dox dropping is common, the main one being IRC. Encyclopedia Dramatica is not one of these forums. Don't do it here.
