Somebody decided to borrow people's passwords (Mr. BLOCKS now, I guess) so I had to take some more steps to ban him. Kind of funny, I guess...

The various bumped threads will be going back home soon, so just give it some time. I have to fix those manually, since I batch deleted them. (D'oh!)

Oh well, it helps me to create utilites to do this automagically, so I guess I can thank this guy one way or another.


PS: If you didn't see Hydra's thread, changing your passwords would be a good idea.

This is amusingly fun, to be honest. Find the idiot's modus operandi and destroy him with it!

So they used stolen passwords to bump a bunch of old threads? Lame, but at least it's more creative than LOL COCKS.

Yeah, he's slowly realizing that doing the same thing over and over leads to getting nowhere.

He was using "COCKS" as a user agent too (that got auto-banned), then tried using "BLOCKS" instead (also autobanned), now he's using a rather common useragent (but I have other ways of destroying him)

What can I say? It's fun!

16 Tor IPs banned by my autoblocker onw, even after he's revised his script about 7 times (judging from what he keeps trying)

It's fun to watch a billion entries zoom up the access log as he floods newreply.php, getting IP banned on his first attempt... oh well.

I'd like to believe I'm doing a good job of removing him from the system.

All of the bumped threads are back to where they should be (buried), and there's a page to fix this in the event it happens again.

Hooray.

Ah well, at least the moron's getting blasted.

How about you make a code that, when activated, prompts all users on the board to change their password? People will not be able to continue past that screen and view any part of the boards when logged into their account until they have done so. It would be highly effective in the event that everything hits the fan.

Presumably, code should also be added to prevent the password being reverted to the compromised password after some period of time.

The only problem with that that I saw was if the vandal has passwords for inactive accounts, he could just simply use the password he acquired, enter a new password, and then he's in. Not only that, but the victim will have a hijacked account which he/she can't log into.

Believe me, I was thinking the same thing, but I found so many problems with it that it wouldn't help during a vandalization.

But what if you know the http address of a part of the board (example http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?id=1470 This thread), then you could enter it, and bypass that screen.

Obviously, you have no idea how the board actually works.

*Metal_Man88 whistles innocently, knowing the security (and having mentioned how it could be improved) before... seems like his suggestions are being followed in some manner.

Yeah. PHP allows you to control who can see what pages, so that idea's about as bogus as opening a door because you know where the door is. Who says the page has to display if you access it?

Instead of using it as a security feature, it would would be nice to use it as a type of annoucment system that when ever you logon would display a popup message with annoucments like updates/news/or a password change note that you could mark already read. But, that's just my opinion.

Instead of mocking, I feel like actually pointing out the flaw in the logic: every page on the board calls one main script to do things like verifying passwords and connecting to the database. You'd only have to block them there and the entire board would be inaccessible.
