Interlopers is down again

Site will be back soon, sorry for any inconviences. Some one has
accessed the server through the forum and pretty much brought the
server to it's knees. I may need to re-install the whole forum and site
so it could be offline a while, don't you just love 1337 hax0rs?

God damn f**kwitted hackers...

Oh don't give me that "damn hackers" s**t. MAKE A MORE SECURE SYSTEM.

It's the developers fault that they left a weakness in the site.

I guarantee you the hacker got in by overflowing some sort of input buffer and getting access to the server with root access. Which means they didn't do something as simple as check their input buffer, or limit character input.

That is the owners fault. Because you assume that someone is going to attack it.

Sorry, but I'm getting sick of site owners going, "oh my god!! There are people trying to take over my site!! I never would have thought it would happen". Or People who're all, "My site is 100% secure". They're equally bad mind sets.

It's the price you pay. However, don't think I'm supporting hacking, but security is one of the first things you realize and learn you need and the understanding that it will never be close to 100% (even with something like quantum encryption, there will probably be a way to hack it).

On another note, I always get hacking and cracking confused. One, I think cracking, it legitimate and is rarely used in a malicious way.

Indeed, you GET it confused.

Hackers are the "good guys", they search for security holes in systems, they make the world bettah place.

Crackers, on the other hand, are assholes, they try to screw up
everything they see. They break in systems to vandalize, they write
viruses, they try to make world a bad place. They think they are ?ber,
but they are mostly only preteen/teen punks. On the other hand, they
can be even 30-40 year olds, who have nothing better to do.

Crackers, well prawn crackers are nice. The other crackers can be good
some times, it annoys me when I got GTA3 and had to keep putting the CD
in.

I'm sure there are "good guys" that are in both areas, but, yes, that's what I thought. Just use the term "hacker" out of habit, I think.

Does it really matter though? Both can be equally detrimental.

What forumware did they use? (phpBB, Invision, ...?)

I can't remember

Yes, though it's akin to phpBB 1.4 (the old versions) and without all the old & new security problems...
