miskie Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 So what was up with this downtime? Just some moron hacker? here is the latest, copied from http://society.miskie.net/index.php?showtopic=1119 read the whole thread to get the jist of it. I just went to war with that client --especially since I discovered that 2 weeks before that it was HIS account that was hax0r3d first. He spent his time blaming me, told me fixing everyones data is my job as webhost (which it isnt) and, then he made made off like a thief in the night. he laid out his plan in his secret moderators forum.. that basically he was going to move his site to his buddies webserver because he didnt like how long it took me to respond to his PMs -- I told him up front it would be a couple of days, but I guess he needed hourly reports... secret forum.. meh.. I was the webhost after all.. Anyone who thinks they keep secrets from me is mistaken. thats just plain fact.. Everyone who has hosting from someone else is part of a toltalitarian regime.. I just try to be a benign dictator. I told him I would archive his data for 30 days while he tried this guy out. Anyway afterward I discovered these two facts... A ) he was the first hacked because of his stupid username/password choice. B ) In his need to whisk his forum away as quickly as possible, I didnt have the chance to finish manually picking through the data for backdoors. There is a backdoor buried in his data with his new host right now, unless he finally took my advice to find it. and his clients are wondering why the forum is behaving badly.. PhpBB needs about 50 layers of forum armor to make it less hackable.. its crap. period. If the new host isnt as armed as I am (which I doubt, most of what I have I manually applied -- default server installs simply dont put in the extras I have) So, people are having their posts vanish, they are getting applied to wrong topic, etc etc.. all the signs of malicios mischief. He refused to answer any of My IMs explaining the issue, that he is still comprtimised,and that there is an exploit running on his box. So, I went irrational.. I made my case at an ezboard forum he has, that he was wrong to blame me for what was ultimatly his mistake, and then I listed both the username and password he was using on my server as the reason he was nailed. That got his attention, and got me ba-zanned at both the real forum as well as the ezboard.. -- as I expected. But, IF he made the mistake of using that comprimised username and password again, Im sure he will change it now -- Sometimes you need to go to extremes to protect somebodies ass. I also figured if I kept my mouth shut about those passwords, It wouldnt be long before I am blamed for a vengence hack, since I know that trojan is waiting. now it all has to be changed, without me knowing anything about it. He is safer, and so am I. He broke the Cardinal rule -- 'Thou Shalt Not Piss off T3h miskie' I finally sent him a letter, asking to chat with him to close this book with civility... Well, I made the offer. BTW, the forum in question is http://www.vftwforum.com -- the Anti American Idol site.. Frankly, I love it but, their king doesnt take advice too well.

Lucandrake Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 So do we change our passwords? HuH!? I'm lost.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 So it was caused by webmasters who didn't take the most basic precautions. Huh. I saw Miskie's posts. What is he talking about? Just ignore him. As most of the people here have learned, he's just trying to push buttons. Hopefully he'll learn that he's just embarrassing himself by attacking people in a public forum and that no one could damage his reputation as much as he is damaging his own currently.

miskie Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 So do we change our passwords? HuH!? I'm lost.. you might want to, but my sugestion is that everyone with FTP access into the forum change their passwords. there seems to be no operating trojans within 1emulation or any of the satellites. So it was caused by webmasters who didn't take the most basic precautions. Huh. I saw Miskie's posts. What is he talking about? Just ignore him. As most of the people here have learned, he's just trying to push buttons. Hopefully he'll learn that he's just embarrassing himself by attacking people in a public forum and that no one could damage his reputation as much as he is damaging his own currently. Here the post referred to: http://www.vftwforum.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=907 Thats correct -- this webmaster used a version of his own sitename and a persons name as passwords -- for example, if I owned the website http://miskies-hot-chix.com and my made my login miskie, and my password hot-chix -- It was that stupid. And it seemed nothing I could do could get the stubborn ass to budge.. well, I forced his hand, now he has to change it all. and, since I can know nothing about any of the changes (since im even IP banned) once his site is hacked -- its PhpBB-- its coming.. they can't blame me for doing out of vengance.

Robert Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 once his site is hacked -- its PhpBB-- its coming.. they can't blame me for doing out of vengance.I've seen so many phpBB sites wiped out from hacker's attentions (although mostly last year),certainly if I was to have a forum it wouldn't be that brand. I note the site is called Vote For The Worst - they'll be able to vote for themselves soon enough I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
