deskthority

Just FYI, part of the reason we are being silent is because we are still dealing with attacks. Between that, hardware changes, and schedule constraints (day jobs), progress has been a little slow. Some work has been done in parallel at other sites, in the meantime.

Thanks, sifo. Pretty much confirms what we saw. Buh Bye vb4.

I'm left to wonder if they even know that it's just a keyboard enthusiasts forum.

The whole point of such words is to offend. That is the reason they exist.

Paid. Sorry about the delay.

Troops are on the ground. The wheels are turning.

vB search is awful at most forums I've been to. Some are better, but they are hacked AFAIK.

Alright, I guess I didn't word that very well. PHP can be done right. It's just so easy to do it wrong.

As far as FB and Flickr, their source isn't out there for all to see. That wasn't what I was getting at.

I think it's safe to say that anyone running a large, complex PHP-based web application is unlikely to survive a targeted attack by a skilled team that really wants to take it down. While previous cases were probably more script-kiddie-like, this was definitely not. We saw it happen right in front o...

I mean you hit that button and GeekHack is at Pause.

Maybe I should have added that moderator kit for real.

Haha...I figured. Your choice in emoticons ruined the joke. :p

Yep. GH is going to stay down for a little while folks. Sorry.

Low expectations are the key to good performance.

Yup, they whacked it good that time.

He sure trolls me here a lot.

It's all in good fun.

iMav was able to clobber the redirect from the DB, so the site is back up again.

For the record, GH is running all the latest patches. We believe it's a 0-day against vB4. We are evaluating where to go from here.

Looks like iMav killed the redirect for now.

Probably the best bet. I don't have any "outgoing keystrokes", but I'm on Linux.

Haha...yeah don't be surprised if it happens. If the exploit is hiding in the DB, a rollback is probably inevitable.

Yeah...they *really* want to own GH. Whatever.

Just avoid the index and you'll be OK for now. For example, go to your control panel instead: http://geekhack.org/usercp.php ...or any of the forums: http://geekhack.org/forumdisplay.php?30-geekhack-community ...or the spy: http://geekhack.org/vaispy.php iMav is evaluating our options at this point.

German and Belgium beer yum. If I brew I'll gain 100 lbs, lol.

I was just pullin' yer chain. Homebrew is cool. Something on my list to try.

Edit: I called myself German?

So you are eating yogurt with granola?

Have you considered getting people skills? Most people seem to like me. Maybe it's just that you only post here to harass me that gives me such a bad impression of you. Are you a KL sock puppet? Well, there is not a whole lot going on here in English that hasn't already been discussed in parallel t...

I think I smell bananas. Is that you?

I find you boring myself but glad you are satisfied with mediocrity. It's unfortunate that you are fixated on the events of the past few months, but I guess I can understand. When you are not lamenting about the inevitable outcome of your GH career or how GH is currently being operated, I find your...
