Ooh crap... (Specarms hacked again)

http://www.specarms.com/forums/index.php

What the heck happened to specarms? I really like that theme song. I gotta feel really sorry for will though, because that isnt the first time something has happened to his fourms.

Erik

:lol: The fucker cant even spell. Figures.

Probaly done by a 9yr old foriegn kid. :lol:

Still shitty that it happened.........again.

ARGH. That honestly sucks, right when Will gets his buissness going again.

Isn't there some way to prevent this?

Hope he gets it straightened out.

He may not be foreign or he may have hacked another server and used it as a bnc. Eitherway the @hackemail.com is linked to a vancouver based IP address which uses a nameserver from www.nameadmininc.com If the proper pathways are followed this may be resolvable through administrative actions (i.e. get them kicked off their ISP and considering this is Canada and they are caught it could be jail time (or more likely juvey). If you need any help in this at all I can give it a shot.

Hope that helps,
Devon

same guy took down foxdenairsoft several times.

You can still get to the forums themselves by using the navigation bar, going to any of the links except home, scroll down to the bottom of the page and selecting the forum you would like to jump to.

Hope this helps.

I bet its a disgruntled 14 year old who got booted off here, and is now out to destroy the entire Canadian Airsoft community.

Exactly what i thought.

Maybe Will should start taking security a little more seriously and patch his server so he stops getting hacked.

On a side note, hope he doesnt keep customer information on that server.

-_-
 

such haters... what they do that? seriously?
The only reason I can think for is that they are mad bored with their pathetic life.

This is a really disturbing link.

check out all the forums this guy has hit.

Some people, soooome people.

No kid should be allowed enough time on a computer to learn how to do something like that... it's ridiculous. Whats even worse is that invariably someone'll be impressed by this, and decide to try themselves.

Man according to Google he's hacked 241,000 forums. Didn't know that was possible.

Has to be a generic security hole in the type of forums these people use.

It could be a bot that automatically searches out and exploits the phbb(i think) forums.

Im sure many have the same question that i am about to ask, so ill just come out and say it. How secure is ASC?

I believe honest john and the crew have checked and re-cheched ASC's vulerabilities and kept it up to current version, these forums that were killed didn't update and had the vulnerability still.

Most of these forum "hackings" are done to forums running insecure versions of phpBB with VERY widely known security holes. If, say, I decided I wanted to "hack" specarms, I probably could have done it in under a few hour's work, and that's without any prior knowledge of the workings of these security holes.

Sometimes I think I'm really nerdy for being into airsoft...my wife confirms my nerdyness constantly. THIS GUY IS A LOSER! If he trys to hack my house it's a welted up face and jail time. Crazy how many sites he has hit though...hmm maybe he wants to work on my forum?

I heard that Honest John hired ex-Czech Special Forces to guard his server.

STOP USING OLD VERSIONS OF PHPBB.

If I could make that shit flash, I would.
Or stop using phpbb entirely.

That's what it does, yeah.
In fact they often use google to find new targets - the bot searches, finds a weak site, attempts intrusion... all the kid does is press a button, in all likelihood he didn't write the code, just downloaded it from somewhere.

that makes way more sense than the pale 8 armed man, being fed by a drip with a diaper on. Still what if that's what he really is? What can we do here at ASC to help Will?

well remember ASC is the only sever with ninjas protecting so i think this ass hat isn't getting in go ASC's black ninja dude.

Quoted for truth.

As I said earlier, I hope he isn't keeping any of your PRIVATE CUSTOMER INFORMATION on his computers.

Note, if you DO run PHPBB, keep it up to date or assume it's compromised already. If you own a business, you're responsible for your customer data. If it gets compromised through a security hole you didn't bother to patch (yeah, I'm a real bitch about this...if you don't want to take the time to patch your servers, you shouldnt be running a server on the internet) you're responsible.

Note that in this instance, the damage is relatively low (on the surface). PHP sites are frequently hacked and used to host email phish sites, i.e. copies of legitimate banking sites to collect banking information from unsuspecting customers. If his site wound up hosting one of those, guess who gets sued by the bank?

Well you gotta admit, it would have made a nice theme for halloween and that tune is kinda catchy.

yes because if you google it now
Results 1 - 10 of about 247,000 for yusuf kara.

thats 6k more in just a day or two
its automated.

Who knows, with kids these days... with their nintendo and skateboatds... they have incredible ammounts of patience for malicious things, but not for studies. Go figure ;-)

Kids these days? Peng, aside from more advanced technologies I think kids were always the same :) I remember hacking my principals BBS way the hell back in grade 7 :) Yes, private bulletin board systems hooked directly up to a sinlge telephone line using a 14.4k, 9600 or even a 2400 baud (sp?) modem were the shit back in those days.

Damn, memories flooding back, I remember the first christmas when the Atari was released 8-O

Damn you're old ;)

Hey Guys,

Thank you all for the concern! I didn't even realize it until one of you MSN'd me :D

Anyways, I have my web guy looking into it. Maybe it's time for me to not be a cheapo and upgrade the forums ;)

ETA is Monday for the forums to be back up and running.


We do not keep any customer info on that server. It's only used for the web forum.

Stupid kids and their l33t skillz :(

I had an old computer from the 60's awhile back. There were no harddrives, just 4, count them, 4 60lb floopy drives that took the 12" (yes one foot) floppy diskettes. It also had the 8" single color green pixel monitor that was about the same weight as the diskette drives and had an attached keyboard.

The whole computer weighted in at just over 300lbs. When you started it up the huge fans in the diskette drives sounded like a cesna preparing for take off.

lmao That's so awesome man!

Wow, what a pathetic piece of shit.

When I see this kind of moronic, nerdtactular, pointless shit, I pictue myself sneeking up behind him with a butcher knife as he giggles. I then spin his chair around, point the knife to his face and scream in a loud, scary ass voice "the devil is yourrrrrrrrrrr house, bitch!!" I would then procede to slice his hands off and as he crys and said it was just a joke, kick him in the stomach.....with one of those James Bond style poison tipped shoes.

I fucking hate nerds!

Okay ... I think they have medication for that. Please, for the good of society please give it a try.

Yeah, the world would be a much better place if there were no intelligent people around to provide the idiots with technology that helps them stay alive day in and day out.

Like all those "nerds" who invented things like penecillin, the Polio vaccine, computers, the Internet, nuclear science, etc.

Yeah, I hate them. Things were much better back in the caves before that pesky nerd Thog invented fire and the wheel.

I invented the Bulldozer.

no you didn't. Considering it was invented over a hundred years ago.

Bulldozer (Special thanks to Mr. Deas Plant for the research)
Some history books give credit to an American named Benjamin Holt for inventing the first "bulldozer" in 1904, and originally calling it a "caterpillar" or a crawler tractor. However, this would be both misleading and not true. To clear up the facts, Deas Plant from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia wrote us with this to say:

Air Force Red Horse bulldozer"Benjamin Holt developed an endless chain tread for his steam traction engine at the end of 1904. At around the same time, the Hornsby company of England converted one of its wheeled steam traction engine to a tracklayer [crawler] format based on a patent granted to their chief engineer. Neither of these developments was a bulldozer, both were purely and simply track-laying traction engines. However, the Hornsby's version was closer to the bulldozers we know today in that it was steered by controlling power to each track instead of having a tiller wheel out in front of the tracks as Holt's machines did. Hornsby sold their patents to Benjamin Holt around 1913-14.

It is not certain who invented the first bulldozer, however, the bulldozer blade was in use before the invention of any tractor. It consisted of a frame with a blade at the front into which were harnessed two mules. The mules would push the blade into a heap of dirt dumped by a cart and spread the dirt or push it over a bank to fill a hole or gully. The fun part came when you wanted the mules to back up for the next push."

The term 'bulldozer' technically refers only to a shovel-like blade, over the years people have come to associate the term 'bulldozer' to the entire vehicle both blade and crawler tractor combined. Deas Plant goes on to say:

"There is also some debate about who first fitted a bulldozer blade to a track-laying tractor, perhaps the La Plante-Choate company, one of the early manufacturers of bulldozer blades.

Again, there are various claimants for the title of first to fit a power control to one of these bulldozer blades with Robert Gilmour Le Tourneau probably being the leading contender.

The name 'caterpillar' was coined by a photographer working for Benjamin Holt who was taking photos of one of Holt's track-laying or 'crawler' tractors. Looking at the machine's upside-down image through his camera lens, he commented that the top of the track undulating over its carrier rollers looked like a caterpillar. Benjamin Holt liked the comparison and adopted it as the name for his track-laying system. He was using it for some years before the formation of the Caterpillar Tractor Company.

The Caterpillar Tractor Company was formed by the merger of the Holt company and their major competitor, the C. L. Best Gas Tractor Co., in August, 1925.

It appears that the word 'bulldozer' came from the habit of stronger bulls pushing their lesser rivals backwards in not-so-serious contests of strength outside of the mating season. These contests take on a more serious note during the mating season."

Also according to "Bulldozers" written by Sam Sargent and Michael Alves:

"Around 1880, the common usage of 'bull-dose' in the United States meant administering a large and efficient dose of any sort of medicine or punishment. If you 'bull-dosed' someone, you gave him a severe whipping or coerced or intimidated him in some other way, such as by holding a gun to his head... In 1886, with a slight variation in spelling, a 'bulldozer' had come to mean both a large-caliber pistol and the person who wielded it... By the late 1800s, 'bulldozing' came to mean using brawny force to push over, or through, any obstacle."

I cant believe you went and researched the topic. Of course i didnt invent it.

:lol:
I'm not that stupid, I just had to rain on your party with a huge post of Googled evidence, adding absolutely nothing to a thread about SpecArms.
But, you are right, there are sure some retarded people on this forum.
Funny how they are the ones that seem to find this forum.

Just find comfort in the fact that that kid will never experience sex...

I invented the colour blue.

I think masterbating to pr0n on teh Intarw3b is considered sex. Maybe someone should ask Droc.

</jk>

That's nothing. North Korea invented outer space.

Kim Jong Il's livejournal:

Dear diary. Bush still doesn't 'get it. I tried making my feelings clear but he's too busy ignoring me, he is such a jerk. Everything in his life is just Saddam, Saddam, Saddam and I am sick of it.

On the plus side, I think my hair looked pretty good today. Also I went frolicking at Paektu Mountain and the rainbow came out again. After dinner some of my subjects sang me a song because I invented Outer Space.

KD, you owe me a new keyboard after that one, as mine is now COVERD in pepsi.

Bastard.(jk)

Well considering his phpBB version is months old I can't see how this could be a surprise...

Nic

laffles.

Anyway, there are numerous sites on the net that will tell you how to clean that properly, depending on the particular model you have. For some of them, it's as simple as removing the back circuit board and throwing the whole thing in the dishwasher.

KD

I didn't know kim jong Il invented outer space...my church told me it was god...school told me it was the big bang...Idiots Kim Jong was right all along...damnit

Damn...
I knew I didn't fail Grade 11 Astronomy tests for nothing...
