Some funny dude

[Darky29]

Found a way to add an index.html to the root directory.
I know how he did it and i took precautions.
After tomorrow he wont be able to exploit the bug again
All i needed to do was remove his crappy index.html and everythings fine.

 

[Meta Ridley]

I was getting a little scared for a while there. Good thing you fixed it Darky28.

 

[BloodElf53]

What did he/she do to it? Made it so it didn't work or left a message or something?

 

[Dark Dragon]

I was getting a little scared for a while there. Good thing you fixed it Darky28.

i was scared too, i thought:WTF!?!?!? then i tried www.wc3sear.ch/INDEX.PHP then it worked.
and thanks for fixing the... hack thing.

 

[Goliath the God]

Good to see the page is up again

Luckily is was nothing serious. WacraftIII.net, warcraft.org, dday.com and some smaller map sites have also appearantly been hacked. Dday lost their entire database. Not sure what these hackers have to prove...its not like wc3 fan sites run the world or anything...

Phew... the problem is solved. After this guy said that he was so experienced, I really thought that it was something biggy. Fortunately Darky fixed it. Mwahaha... And I'm almost positively sure that there won't be a second time... ^_^

 

[Arkidas]

Nice you fixed that :roll:

 

[Teppana]

crappy

it was crappy indeed... i was like :shock: when i saw that thingy

 

[Sprite_Boi]

I got very chocked when i saw this, then i read about it on the MoMM Forums, its good the site is up again

 

[Mycklern]

what happened?

 

[d0g_l0ver]

Some Hackers

Some Hackers, had hacked the main page, it was scary!

 

[Sansui]

So i was correct it was a crappy noob hacker who sniffed out a bug, gay bastard.

 

[Shadow-Scythe-R]

Idiot hacker. He/she forgot we can bypass the front page via the History tab. But when I saw it I was like 'OMFG WTF MAN?'.

Nice work Darky, try to find other bugs before they're exploited okay?

 

[Mecheon]

It was only a hacker: Luckily, it wasn't a cracker. There's a difference

Hacker: Hacks to learn and so forth. Probably hacked here to check the php scripts or something
Cracker: Hacks to deliberatly cause something bad to happan

So yes, nothing serious

 

[Eusira]

You mean where the homepage gave you that baby flipping you off with a bomb, instead of forwarding you to the news page? It's nice, but luckily, he didn't exploit the index2 one too

 

[GreyArchon]

What Mecheon said. This was a funny hack, and nothing got damaged.

More importantly, you folks who call these guys "noobs", "idiots" or "retards"... have no sense of humor. And seeing as how probably none of you can actually hack, compared to them, you're the noob.

 

[Sansui]

Grey hackers do not do things like that noob did.

we are not noobs because most of us are not hackers.

however I am a complete noob at the sport.

 

[Eusira]

The guy probably just opened the script to copy it onto a forum, then post a little "tag," like grafitti, to tell them "wE wUz HeEr"

 

[ManZero]

I didnt even noticied that...
the url in my bookmarks is different (http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=News&sid=)

 

[Mad_Panda]

I don't care that you can justify his reasons for hacking, he was doing nothing to help anyone. He claimed he was only doing this to make things better, defacing a website makes nothing better. If you're stupid enough to waste your time hacking a fan site to a video game, you truly need to find another hobby.

Also, I found nothing funny about the picture... a baby flipping you off has nothing funny about it.

Wrong.
Hackers: guys that hack into sites etc to cause damage, eg. by stealing codes (Half-Life, anyone?).
Crackers: guys that hack into sites to make the owner aware of glitches, holes and other things which a hacker could abuse to do what I said above.

Of course, not every hacker has the same talent. Worst case are so called Script-Kiddes, people who have no real clue and just copy from pros, altering malware etc. Most malware (virus, worms, etc) is made by those.
