Just to let everyone know that the phpnuke portion of tescosamoa.com is going down for a week.

Reason is because it was hacked.

Those who do not have the latest patches on their nuke site please update to the latest patches.

well... my fault for not keeping up with the exploits... plus it gives me a good excuse for doing some much needed upgrades.

The ALdan forum will be going back up very soon.

But by itself

Re: PHP- NUKE Sites being hacked
 

It's not your fault. It was a foolish descision not to upgrade, but it's the hackers fault.

Crackers should be shot.

The more popular something is the more its probed. The more popular the Version of your software the more you need to keep it patched.

By the way, you should check your web logs. The error one. Probes are so automated now that if you check your error log it makes it clear which exploits are being continually probed. I always check it for the name of any new package Im thinking of adding to a web site. Then I ask the developer specifically about the probe to see if they have patched that problem.

I have a better soloution.

Since they are so Elite and cool we should make them do "community service". However this "community service" is fiendish in it's simplicity.

We send them to Microsoft and for no pay (it's community service http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ) we make them exploit every single flaw in the Windows OS, day in, day out they must toil to find these errors, exploit them and make microsoft fix them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif (The ammount of errors imagineable since 95 to XP is just horrible to comprehend!)

This is Community Service.

We as a community won't have to complain about Windows as often and we get reliable and less bug prone OS, thus providing a service http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

No, we'd just wind up buy a new Version of windows every 6 months instead of 18 months. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Microsoft should employ hackers to simply hack windows to patch thier systems.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">GREAT IDEA!
Except that its already being done. If you check webopedia, wikipedia, the Jargon File, basically any Online internet dictionary instead of some old paper-book or TV/Movie/Media definition, you would see that hacking does not mean breaking into peoples computers. Its a tool and a method, not everyone is pulled to the dark side. In fact, there are more white-hat hackers than there are black-hats. At least in old net like newsGroups rather than new net like IRC

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Actually that was the idea behind some early viruses and worms. A break-in and fix-it program. The first few were meant to be beneficial to clue-less Users. Unfortunately, like many things on the net, once it was done for good reasons it was too easily modified into something bad which caused everyone to have to shut that door.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah i know, i wasn't just referring to hackers. i'm talking about most people who create stuff with the sole idea of malicious damage to a computer or invading someone's files.

And Yeah there is a lot of "White hat" hackers around. These guys i respect. But My tactic isn't just to get those who have an actual conscience to toil for MS. Those guys should be paid and sent to a better company http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif It's a way of teaching those who are on the "dark side" that 1. They can do something useful with their skills and 2. Crime doesn't pay to quote a cliche.

I can't think of any more fitting project than for these guys to work constantly on thousands, if not millions of lines of code that, in it's entirety forms Windows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The psychological therapy afterwards would certainly cost less than the annual damage done by viruses and other unsavoury acts of computer crime http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
