yer some guy changed the front page yesterday morning...
it said something like " mail me for all your security needs" LOL
it was an new Exploit posted on Security Focus and a heaps of hacking sites, takes about 2 minutes and you have full control of a PHPnuke website... its very easy
I could have easily issued a killall%20httpd
from that exploit and killed the web server daemon on any Nuke site , but these kids wouldnt even know what that is 😛
they just know how to use ready made scripts with instructions
but
as he was hacking I was patching the website in telnet ,so his title to fame lasted about 30 seconds , while the server updated ....
He would have been messaging all his friends, "Check this out"
No shit he would have died when he did the hack, then about 20 seconds later our normal page popped back , he had deleted the whole site, well what he thought was the site ..ROFL !!
it was pretty funny...
Regarding passwords , they are all encrypted and held in the database , which he couldnt and didnt access..............
even if he did get in there hes got to decrypt 128bit encrytption....now unless thats credit card details its a waste of a few weeks for one password to post on a forum 😀 ....
