We had a little hacker but everything should be fine for now. He seems to be telling us there is a big vulnerability. At this point the vulnerability is likely in the CMS but this is to be checked out.
Yea but he also made the site inaccessible which is not :cool:
Yeah it was pretty gay but Id rather have some down time then have everything deleted Big bear =poz made an admin or something. That would be gay as shit.
He wasn't really a shitty hacker, he was a nice one though. He didn't delete any content and he totally could have and made this place a real shit hole.
i was trying to figure this out this morning. I saw that shit when i woke up, site was down for an hour, came back up, then down, then my friend said it was up and i was like , i could view the page with a proxy but not with my IP so then I stressed and ran 4 separate scans and shit just to be safe ha. :facepalm:
Hopefully we can learn from this whole thing. He seemed to do this just to show A. that he could B. that we have an obvious weak spot in our security and C. to advertise himself. We know how he did it so lets fix that and look for other opportunities and nip them in the bud before it happens again. On the upside its good to be noticed.
I've been seeing this all over the place recently including on another site I am a staff member on (Torrent related). It's good to see some people doing site owners a favor. I know there used to be a huge shit storm back in the 90's and early 2000's about "defacing" a website but only the ignorant thought that. Truth is if they could deface your website they could delete it and just cause mischief. Two guys in the last month have talked to me specifically on PTM about a vulnerability. Give props to those people for helping secure sites although not all see it that way.

In a way I agree with you on this.
He's done this to a lot of sites and even servers, and from the many I've seen, he hasn't deleted anything.
Pain in the ass way to advertise, I know! but @ least his intentions weren't fucked up.

Just posting this in case anyone wanted to save the moment
Seems like he's just showing us our vulnerabilities.
In a way, that's pretty :cool:
A moments capture for the Linux based user.!:D

But good to see that even hackers can't stop us :thumbsup:
He was a pretty shitty hacker to be honest.
What happened to it?
Have we removed it or something?
Pen-test it. Test it for every vulnerability you can think of, until we have ironed out all the creases.

They just think they're "badass haX0rZ" by attacking dead forums and leaving their tags.
This.
He hired a terrorist to monitor this place, apart from that...
Once it's in place, we need to validate our code, and test for exploits
Long story read the other thread.

Well, if he comes back. I will be prepared. Remmeber I just got server access 4 days ago.
Read the server log in H&S
That's racist!
/but funny.
