Hacking Doom Wad Station

[Brad_tilf]

So, I just had the 2nd hack on the website in as many weeks. The first time was a minor annoyance. A couple of index pages were changed. Nothing that couldn't be fixed easily. THIS time, a bunch of directories were completely deleted. Not sure why anyone would bother hacking my little site but I will fight back. No matter what the hackers do, DWS cannot and will not, stand down

What the hell kind of motive would someone have to wanna hack DWS? o_O

Were you able to restore the recently deleted stuff?

[Brad_tilf]

I'm working on it. I do keep full backups. And, I don't know the answer to your question

[Brad_tilf]

Fuck whoever did this. I've returned everything to normal but, if you guys could do some clicking around and tell me if I'm missing something, I'd really appreciate it

Seems fine to me, good job! Well, I hope you plugged the hole.

If you have physical access and full controll over the server ;

Testdisk, it comes with photorec. Run it on the machine and browse to the deleted folders. Deleted files and folders are listed in red by testdisk. Manually using Testdisk, because Photorec would be a massive overkill bloat to do.

but you would have to test files for corruption. :)

Nah, I don't have that kind of access.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's some still-smouldering grudges from this. The current site design with in-your-face donations requests probably served to rekindle them.

Or it could be some random bored kid, of course. Either way, it seems that some things never change.

I like the new design.



Compact, professional-looking and much easier on the eyes.
BTW, if you are going multi-lingual, Russian and French are important options to consider.

As is English. You had me going until I noticed the URL.

I see now that you meant look for stuff that's still corrupted, but I did an quick audit for you. Check your email.
