Avatars were lost. Smilies are recovered, but need to be re-added.
Very few posts should be missing, some attachments, mostly the new ones are most likely gone as well.

Is that a joke? The forums are updated to the latest version. We have the latest versions of almost all forum software. Various patches are installed. However, it doesn't really matter since you can exploit damn near anything.

Thanks for working on all this luck, it's great to be getting it all back into shape again, you've done a great job. I'm really annoyed with those people, as I am sure everyone else on the forums is. I'm hoping you can find a very recent backup of the files.
Guys don't go flaming on those people's forum, there's no point to it.
luck777jojo
15th April 2006, 10:24
yes hate breeds more hate, so nothing is going to be done
forensics take time and money so we're not going after them, plus no real BAD damage was done so.... all's well that ends well (more or less)
just drop this all, hopefully the problem they had with us was worked out (at least that's what I was told) and that's all that matters.
In the world of computers the best defence against being hacked is to be friendly and easy to deal with so that noone hates you. Sure it may sound a bit "wussy" but.... any system (unless not connected to any network and in a safe) can be exploited and hacked, any one or group of admins cannot really safeguard against all possible attacks (especially if the admins don't get paid anything like we don't) so all we can do it try not to piss anyone on the internet off.
as for the files and attachments.... I uploaded the latest backup I found and mixed it together with whatever was left over after the attack to keep as many attachments as possible; however a large number of them were still lost so I'm counting on all of you guys to help out and upload whatever was lost in the appropriate place.
All forum files were gone and unfortunately the header files are on VFs computer (at least I think he still has them) so... I had to redo all the headers for now, when VF comes back we shall see what we'll add back as we had before and what we'll leave as is now.

Defacers are people who just try to see if they can get past security, other then that they aren't THAT knowledgeable.
It's settled though, so I guess drop it.

Just a question...when a website is defaced...is it serious? Or do they usually just change the front page to show "skillz."what they mostly do is known as "own the box", meaning they get root/admin rights on it, normally through a remote console, and then they can do whatever they want with it. deleting the wwwroot folder is not that dramatic.... sometimes they put their own backdoors on it (meaning no av detects them) and then fix the security hole they used to come in so nobody else can take _their_ box

We got security on our forums for free? I don't understand what you are even saying.
MPC doesn't get anything for free, and despite the number of ads we have, we don't make any money. We barely make enough to cover server costs, and here people think we get things for free....
btw- We are still running updates and optimizations, so expect some random downtimes.

You must think your superman. I think ppl forget that this is all free. It takes alot of time and effort to maintain a site of this size.
To the fellow admins here at mpc who do a fine good job:
There were popups used with wmf exploits two days before the site went down.
The files used were:
xpl.wmf " http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=xpl.wmf "
sploit.anr " http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=sploit.anr "
You guys should use the .htaccess file more if you dont already do to deny access to the admin panel.
Share with other cheat site admins the ips used to "hack" the site so we can ban those as well. I understand that mostlikely in this case there were proxies used but there are addons to deny access to a site if a person is using a proxy server or a tunnel.
There is a project on sourceforge that gathers daily or weekly proxy ips. It takes on click and replacing one file to deny access to those proxys here.

## Go to Templates -> Thread Management Templates -> threads_displayip
### Replace ALL with:
The IP Address is: $postinfo[ipaddress]. The host name is: $postinfo[hostaddress].$proxyipPlease click <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid">here</a> to return to the thread.
### Done in the control panel
### Ok, done editing everything, now upload all the files that were edited (newthread.php, newreply.php). And you're done.
For phpbb forums i know this works it may help you guys out:
Here is the schtuff..
- In the includes directory create a new file call proxyblocker_scan.php
- Cut and paste the following into it.
Code:
< ?php
//
// Is this a new proxy using known proxy ports ?
// could have used port 80 but many dialups use it on their servers...
$ports = array( 3128, 1080, 8080 );
$target = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
while( $port = array_pop( $ports ))
{
$isproxy = 0;
// open a socket to the connecting host on well known proxy sockets
$socket = @fsockopen( \"tcp://$target\", $port, $errno, $errstr, 3 );
if( $errno == 0 )
{
$request = "GET http://www.google.com/ HTTP/1.0\r\n\";
$request .= "Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n\";
$request .= "Pragma: no-cache\r\n\";
$request .= "Host: www.google.com\r\n\";
$request .= "User-Agent: MSIE 6.0\r\n\";
$request .= "\r\n\";
fputs($socket, $request);
$response = fputs($socket, 128);
if(strlen(stristr($response, \"200\")) > 0){
$isproxy = 1;
}
if( $isproxy )
{
fclose($socket);
die();
} else {
fclose($socket);
}
}
}
?>
- Save and close the file.
- In the includes directory create and open a file called proxyblocker_dnsbl.php
- Cut and paste the following into the file:
Code:
< ?php
$reverse_ip = get_reversed_ip( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );
// array of rbl servers
$rbl_dns_servers = array(
'.http.dnsbl.sorbs.net',
'.socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net',
'.misc.dnsbl.sorbs.net',
'.proxies.blackholes.easynet.nl',
'.list.dsbl.org'
);
// loop through list of rbl servers
while( $reverse_dns = array_pop( $rbl_dns_servers ))
{
// check for ip on a rbl server
if( check_rbl( $reverse_ip, $reverse_dns ))
{
// discovered a proxy on one of the servers
die();
}
}
?>
- Save and Close the File
- Create and Open file in includes directory called ‘functions_proxyblock.php’
- Cut and paste the following into file:
Code:
< ?php
// checks to see if a ip is on a dns server
function check_rbl( $reverse_ip, $reverse_dns )
{
$is_bad_ip = FALSE;
$rlookup = $reverse_ip . $reverse_dns;
if( $rlookup == gethostbyname($rlookup))
{
// returned the same info so not on list
} else {
// returned information so is on list
$is_bad_ip = TRUE;
}
return $is_bad_ip;
}
// takes an ip address passed to it and returns a revered ip
function get_reversed_ip( $ip )
{
$ip_exploded = explode('.', $ip );
$reverse_ip = "$ip_exploded[3].$ip_exploded[2].$ip_exploded[1].$ip_exploded[0]\";
return $reverse_ip;
}
?>
- Open common.php
- FIND include($phpbb_root_path . ‘includes/db.’.$phpEx);
- AFTER WRITE include($phpbb_root_path . ‘includes/functions_proxyblock.’.$phpEx);
- SAVE & CLOSE common.php
- OPEN login.php
- FIND include($phpbb_root_path . ‘common.’.$phpEx);
- AFTER ADD
Code:
include($phpbb_root_path . ‘proxyblocker_scan.’.$phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . ‘proxyblocker_dnsbl.’.$phpEx);
You guys did a great job bringing the site back online. Keep up the good work.

There were popups used with wmf exploits two days before the site went down.
The files used were:
xpl.wmf " http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=xpl.wmf "
sploit.anr " http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=sploit.anr "
I can varify that.
Kaspersky deleted those files right when the popup popped.
Thanks for the useful post.
I'm sure the admins are appreciating any kind of help :)

nice.. i never saw it, did the forum just stop loading and then when you refreshed it came up with that
and how did you find that site? do ***** publish their defacements there? or do people report them?
Sudden Death
20th April 2006, 18:54
lmao, goons (with 0's of course) got filtered :P
i dont know ive seen that site a few times.. keeps records of all the defacements its like an internet league to see who can deface the most sites :x but its not. Its weird.
Looking at this: http://www.zone-h.org/en/defacements/filter/filter_defacer=*****/ (not sure if the link will not work because it will filter out goons lmao.. they deface several websites a day sometimes. And all they did was delete some files in the html folder and replace them with theyre own.

How did MPC get hacked though? I thought we were hackers. Not the script kiddies from g00nz or what ever they call themselves
luck777jojo
27th April 2006, 04:06
We're cheaters, not hackers there is a difference.
Very few of the people with MPC (that I know) actually have any knowledge of hacking, those that do usually don't bother to get back or are stopped from doing something stupid like getting back at anyone for something like that.
As for how we were hacked.... a hacker has to succeed once, a systems admin has to succeed every time.
Simply put the odds are greatly skewed against us. I don’t have the will or the time to get anyone back for that, and it’s a lot simpler to upload a recent backup and get everything running than to secure the site.
To secure a site such as a forum requires me to basically rewrite the entire forum software as a lot of the requirements for forum additions and the forums themselves require a lot of compromises in server security (you need to post attachments so some directories need to be write enabled for everyone, this is a real pain for securing the server).
To reload backups and replace lost things requires basically…. a day max.
Risk Management 101:
Cost of Risk(event) = Probability(event) * Cost(event)
The cost (in time) of reloading a backup in the chance of us getting hacked is a lot less than the cost (in time) of securing the site, and since no one gets paid any money or makes any money off of MPC the time spent on it is the only cost.

Man no fair, why cant they just stick on there own forums; i mean just becuase they loose members to us doesnt mean they need to cry.
luck777jojo
27th April 2006, 09:08
they don't they're not even cheaters and for the most part they say they don't play games either so..... we're not in any way connected with their forums.

Sudden Death
28th April 2006, 21:05
someone definately said that. Or they think we/myg0t are some sort or 'organised gaming group' which they dont like :x but maybe nothing 2 do with myg0t, however someone here did say that.. i thought it was luck :confused: maybe not
Conker
28th April 2006, 21:11
right... they are quite strange really... they don't like gamers > so they crash servers and game websites > for what they call fun :P right

This issue had nothing to do with myg0t.

Stop discussing about it. You got your answer from hebe, and also I told you the same few posts above. :x

@Sudden Death : I never said that, I'm sure I didn't. Oh and if you think deleting a post will actually delete it you're wrong ;) :P
Sudden Death
29th April 2006, 22:03
Oh and if you think deleting a post will actually delete it you're wrong ahh hax, well i wondered why there was a 'reason for deletion' option lol.. Whatever gil. Well someone said it anyway, actually i think i now remember it was someone on the IRC at the time ;) anyway who cares now.. and i'd better stop now anyway like gil said, its answered.. Thats why i deleted it in the first place ;)
Conker
30th April 2006, 13:31
are there any other hacking groups apart from goons? just wondering...
Dark Blaze
30th April 2006, 14:46
There are myriads of hacking groups. Some formed of true hackers, the rest formed of script kiddies.
Indeed Sudden Death, even if you delete something, we have the ability to restore it (if you want it back and accidentally deleted for instance).

we can't just readd something because we may not have it to readd it, post in that thread and ask, if somone has it I am sure they will be more than happy to upload it again ;)

I thought you had backups? shouldnt you be able in any way to restore all attachments?
luck777jojo
4th May 2006, 18:53
the backups, yes we had backups, but since file backups weren't made daily at that time (I think weekly is what we did) some files such as attachmnets were still lost
The database backups were made daily but since the attachments are not in the database...
Conker
4th May 2006, 22:20
so are all the attachments back? because i imagine that the older hacks would not be there cus the creator may no longer be around or no1 here has the file...
Sudden Death
4th May 2006, 22:37
Nope all attachments are gone and need to be re-uploaded. I guess if no-one has it to re-upload it cant have been that great anyway :) im waiting to see if anyone has D4RK's universal crosshair but no1 responded 2 the thread :(
Big_Fat_Ho
5th May 2006, 01:00
Yeah I checked at MPC Downloads it wasn't there but I asked someone to re-upload it here (http://www.mpcforum.com/showthread.php?t=24174&page=29) and I got the hack! :)
