Geekhack is infeasted

fossala · 05 Nov 2011, 12:22

Doesn't bother me too much as I use BSD/LINUX in my house only. But just a heads up.

Grond · 05 Nov 2011, 13:48

Very annoying.

guilleguillaume · 05 Nov 2011, 14:23

What happened to GH?

webwit · 05 Nov 2011, 15:11

The response time is not very impressive. I'd get that crap out of my website in five minutes. Also it amazes me this keeps happening to vbulletin, which is commercial software. Stuff like phpBB is pretty secure not because it was made by security experts, but because it has been targeted so often for so long by an army of eager script kiddies, the smallest holes were found and patched. This would also be true for vbulletin, but apparently they keep breaking things. Of course, by saying this, phpBB will most likely be hacked a number of times in the near feature, but hey, at least it is free.

Any idea when the malicious code was added? I was reading geekhack last night...

Grond · 05 Nov 2011, 16:30

It seemed ok this morning.

pita · 05 Nov 2011, 17:32

arg very annoying indeed...

When Geekhack is infested....

Alors on danse!

BTW is this video true?

yakill · 05 Nov 2011, 20:09

Geekhack is infested more than any other site i know.
Someone seems to hate keyboard enthusiasts or western keyboard enthusiasts.

Maybe, but i'm german and here no one without a proxy can tell you.

If GEMA was a stock company google had already bought them just for the annoyance they are.

Die Prinzen - Deutschland. I like the part where they brag about the geld actually being worth something.

pita · 05 Nov 2011, 20:55

Is the attack specific to geekhack forum? or the malware infest the entire service?

Daemon Raccoon · 05 Nov 2011, 22:00

Its a vBulletin exploit, and geekhack has a fairly large user-base.

litster · 06 Nov 2011, 01:34

what is the end user impact with this exploit?

webwit · 06 Nov 2011, 02:32

You're now part of a Chinese botnet battling the free world.

Any post involving nickels is deleted.

litster · 06 Nov 2011, 07:55

I think the exploit added more options to group buy 4, and is also infecting the Phantom group buy!

Depending on your browser or firewall, this sickness is contagious:

I think it's time to block geekhack hosted images. This will stop the log-in issue, as well as certain topics here being unviewable at the moment, until iMav fixes this.

ripster · 07 Nov 2011, 04:41

Whew!

I was worried this pic would be blocked in the Gaddaffi thread.

Btw I had no idea you had to be logged into Geekhack to see the images!

itlnstln · 07 Nov 2011, 13:52

Pretty much par-for-the-course for McAfee.

ripster · 07 Nov 2011, 16:34

You meant Intel/McAfee.

Wonder how that's going? INTC is at 23.7. About as static as the EU GDP.

Grond · 07 Nov 2011, 17:44

This is taking quite a while to be fixed. Must be something serious, I guess.

itlnstln · 07 Nov 2011, 19:13

Right now, iMav would be at work, so either he doesn't know about it, or he's working and doesn't have time to fix it.

ripster · 07 Nov 2011, 19:55

It's fixed. It's just Google doesn't know it yet.

I betcha it's giving your Websense fits.

itlnstln · 07 Nov 2011, 20:55

The weird thing is WS is not going crazy, it's Chrome. I would check in, but until even Google says it's clear, I'm not going to risk it. I am at work, y'know.

ripster · 07 Nov 2011, 21:02

Good idea. I'll talk behind your back about you.

Speaking of "infeasted" we have a pretty good food thread going on right now.

This Alors on Danse tune is pretty addicting....

itlnstln · 07 Nov 2011, 21:06

Totally OT, but I got the Logitech Revue the other day, and the little chiclet keyboard that comes with it is pretty nice. It would make a nice laptop keyboard for sure.

I don`t think that part exists, as this song is full of irony.

Spoiler:

Yeah that alors on danse thing was addictive enough to be played all over the radio last year, also almost none of the listeners understand the lyrics.
But i guess noone is visiting the club to get the messages in the songs that are played right?

I just ordered a K400 and somebody sent me Apple wireless for free (claims beer stained death but I'll see if I can revive).
