Phrack High Council will do anything for you.

Oh boy, good job at halting access to darkside, iago.

[Towelie]

lol this is wierd. I wonder who did it

[iago]

[22:29:48.289] <deadly7[x86]> Hrm.
[22:29:52.385] <deadly7[x86]> Whoever did it had complete access to /forum/
[22:30:02.159] <deadly7[x86]> The mySQL database password is PLAINTEXT in it.
[22:30:09.159] <deadly7[x86]> Which is SMF's fault..
[22:30:15.178] <deadly7[x86]> IPB, LDU, all others don' thave plaintext mysql

There's nothing wrong with storing plaintext credentials under a locked file.  Unless you enter a password every time you run it, they have to be stored in a recoverable way anyway.  Why bother giving people a false sense of security? If anything, that does more harm than good.

Joeforums weren't defaced. More secure than SMF. G_G.

Hmm @ phc..

[MyndFyre]

Joeforums weren't defaced. More secure than SMF. G_G.

Linux doesn't get viruses written for it for the same reason Joeforums weren't defaced: nobody uses it.

UPDATE:

Hrm.

[Newby]

I got that too.

Well, I got two messages. One said that, one said to point out his name was yellow. :/

[Sidoh]

That's really weird.

Yeah, I got it too... I was doing homework and I head the Outlook "you have unread messages" noise.

We can't do much... maybe just ban the proxy or IP he was on and move on with our lives.

Patch the vulnerabilities too.

Probably some script he found on a security board.
