Re: I just got hacked..

Hmm, if you get on IRC right now and/or email me with enough details to see your access log (and give me admin access on your forum), I should be able to check out and see how he did it.

Re: I just got hacked..

This looks like the vulnerability re cookies that 1.2.17 has fixed.

Re: I just got hacked..

lol
Try this:
http://www.mibbit.com/
Server is Quakenet.org
Channel is #punbb
No password
Nickname is whatever you want (no spaces)

Re: I just got hacked..

Just so everyone knows, my current opinion of the source of the hack, stated nicely, is that you generally get what you pay for with shared hosting and a $1.99 per month host is worth every penny (that is to say, very little).

Re: I just got hacked..

I dont know if that's the problem tho because You have seen mine cookie seed?

Re: I just got hacked..

Which has absolutely no relevance here. The cookie seed does not allow someone to change your cPanel password or view your config.php file. And to see the cookie seed you need to have access to config.php in the first place.

Re: I just got hacked..

Yea the kid is a n00b and should pay for better hosting.

Wasnt this be a method with mysql injection?

Re: I just got hacked..

I very much doubt there is a vulnerability, other than a bad host. Of course, I can't really investigate too much, since the host still has my IP banned for trying to log in to his cPanel account too much.

Re: I just got hacked..

Im sure it's not my host, LoL.

It's prob my fault for editing my php files w/o knowing php etc..

This host has full cpanel and it's woeps.com  It's good. lol

Re: I just got hacked..

well:

In theory , anyone with a shell/login to the webhost via telnet or at the console will be able to write to your file if they have access to your web directory. No-one without FTP access will be able to change things from the web, its only people with access to the server you need to worry about.


So your host has prob gave out shell access to someone on the server ( which looks like they oversell) and they have left a port open~!

and nick, whats your msn??

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

Re: I just got hacked..

Oh look, your host has its own domain name. And cPanel? Of course they're trustworthy! I mean, those are two very big, important hosting things. It's not like you can buy a domain name for $10 and get cPanel for < $100 (or for free, if it's a cracked copy). And lets not forget their great deals: they offer free hosting AND they offer unlimited bandwidth and hard drive space for under $5 per month! It's not like computer space really costs more than that....
Seriously. I mean, it's certainly possible that one of your modifications allowed the hacker to take control of your fourm AND get the password for your cPanel, but I doubt it.

Re: I just got hacked..

look to keep you happy and to save eveyone the hassle ill give you a cpanel account!

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

Re: I just got hacked..

Not to mention the possibility of the hosting company being serious yet incompetent.
All it take to get that information is read permission to that file.
This is 99.9% sure not a punbb's security issue.
