If you know the IP address of whoever hacked you, speak to HTC because they have a list of everyone who posts on heres' IP address.

There is an IIS worm going around and a few other common exploits that a group of chinese hackers have been exploiting to do this kind of thing. It's not likely anyone from this community if indeed they Chinese hack message was up there. These guys are running massive scans and using automated tools to compromise large numbers of servers. I know quite a few folks that have been simply blocking huge IP ranges at their routers if they are ranges known to be from China. That doesn't stop it because they have compromised other boxes they can launch attacks from, but it makes things a bit more difficult for them.

Deja, I'm a NT/Win2k type weenie with a decent level of training and experience in security hardening and that sort of thing. Please feel free to email me if you are running on either OS. I can get you lots of info on how to harden an NT/2k box running IIS to prevent this kind of thing. If you need *nix help, I'm not the guy, but I can put you in touch with those that can help. Just drop me a note if you want.

Which reminds me... time to double check my hotfixes and make sure I'm up to date!

That sucks

I was using this listing to see who I could recruit for my squad.

I was also using the list for squadron decorations. I hope this list comes back soon.

DeJa.. I know I asked you before, but if you don't intend on putting htis list back up, could you tell me how you go about making the listings? I would love to have the ability to get the P-51B and P-51D listings. Thanks.

Sad to hear that, Deja. I really appreciated your effort. <S>

Because every online sim has a very diverse community, from the occasional week-end hacker, to the Santa's that sit at their monitors with nothing on but leather panties and a monocle on...

I've removed my leather panties, the red ones with the studs on the inside.

Now come sit on my lap Ripsnort, and I'll give a true reason for the rip in yer snort.

I assume you were using a MS OS for this sight *cough*! I'm a unix bigot myself and this gives us the opportunity to wave our pom-poms. Although no OS is totally safe from attacks you can drasticaly reduce your chances of destruction/defacement with a unix based OS. Their are quite a few FREE ones but for security I would suggest freeBSD for a secure Web-Server. If you need any help if you plan to take on something like this It would be my pleasure to be of assistance in any way I can.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Deja.

OpenBSD is a fairly simple and secure unix OS. You might check it out for your server.

Your hard work is greatly appreciated. It ticks me off that anyone would create more work for you. I know you must spend a lot of time crunching out what you do, when you could be flying, Thanks!

Of course you can set 2k up, secure it, and have it and ready to roll in the time it takes you just to download the files for *nix. Unix is great if you are a knowledgeable user, but if you are not it's a steep learning curve and a large time investment just to get it set up and running, let alone secure. Only go *nix if you either are already a Unix geek or feel like spending many many hours learning how to configure and run the OS in a command line.

You can make 2k plenty secure for far less effort. This particular hack was an automated one I believe, and perpetrated through various slaved compromised machines that exploited a common, but already patched, bug. Simple use of Windows Update and the notification engine they use would have prevented this issue... it did for me.

This was not a new exploit or a difficult one... Deja simply had not taken basic security precautions on that machine, and it would have been compromised just as easily (and possibly to much more dangerous effect) if it had been a *nix box without security precautions taken.
