I don't have problems accessing the site."It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
ahhh, ok. You didn't say it was the boards at first. Yeah, I just looked and there are some goofy messages at the top. Hope they get it sorted out. Fixing stuff like that can be a real headache.

Seems to be ok, in the Poser 5&6 forum, at least.

slinger: always keep phpBB up-to-date. I know (as someone who has a phpBB forum) that it is a PITA, but it is worth the effort. Also, make frequent database backups! :) Skript Ciddies suck!

foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.

PHPBB seems to be attracting a lot of attention by hackers lately. If you go to their download site a lot of people are saying they are getting hacked. I took the time to learn how to install their BB software on my own server a few weeks ago. And I noticed they looked like they were a magnet for hackers. It must be pretty easy software to hack to attract so much attention. -ScottA
It's not that it's that easy, it's the fact that it's so popular and so many smaller forum admins don't take the time to keep it up to date. It's like a mecca to the kiddies if they can find an older install and exploit a hole. Plus two versions were able to be exploited due to other software involved (php and awstats). Do a google search for "powered by phpBB" + 2.0.10 and it returns 10,300,000 hits - and that's considered an older "unsecure" version due to the exploits. That's a lot of places for the kiddies to deface, you'd think they'd eventually get tired of it. ;)
"you'd think they'd eventually get tired of it"
That's not going to happen, at least not for the forseeable future. "Tagging" pHp boards has become the new graffiti of the internet with different script kiddie gangs competing for the most scalps.
Originally most of the groups were operating out of S.A., especially Brazil, with home bases set up on smaller irc networks (brasnet.org) or private servers (metronet) because they can use open SOCKS ports on WinGate machines to bounce a connection through a zombie, making it hard to trace.
Best thing to do is stay patched with the latest updates & make sure that you only have one index.html page w/o any sensitive information on it. Fortunately most of these maggots have just enough smarts to create "l33t" nicknames and run a script but have no clue how to do any real damage, even if they manage to get in :-) edited to correct the inevitable typos Message edited on: 04/17/2005 14:45

I'd just like to say I hate Script Kiddies and hackers! PlanIt 3D has just been hacked and I can't get back in!
