Site Attacked... Read

on Wednesday, July, 02, 2008 3:03 PM
Hey guys. We got attacked today. I had to pull out my best Kevin Flynn but I knocked it out. It was embedding javascript in the database text fields.

On a side note... sometime later this year I'll be totally revamping the site... top to bottom. I'm using a site I'm working on as a 'test bed' for the new site code.

All is well, just wanted you guys to know.

Bravo, bravo! Nice work, Auric!

Firefox keeps telling me 'this is an attack site!', which stops me from being able to post or view the site unless I disable it.

Anyone know how to get it to stop recognising Tron-Sector as an attack site now that everything's back to normal?

Anyway, I can't wait to see the revamped site!order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

It should clear up. It's referring to the .js stuff that attack the server. I've request a review to clear it. Leave that feature enable, even though it's a pain. IE has nothing like it. The warning *was* legit unti lI fixed the site early today. So rock on Firefox.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

And rock-on, Auric for fixing the problem and derezzing the Evil Java Scripts of Doom!

TRON-Sector was loading very slow for me the past few days, but it's back to regular, almost-instant load times. And everyone's avatar is back. Ahhh - so much nicer!

Firefox does rock though, doesn't it? I'm digging FF3. There are a few minor things bothering me, but I'm hoping they'll be fixed in the next release. Nothing bothersome, really anyway.

Wow... that's awesome that you were able to repel the attack (images of recognizers squashing grid bugs).

Awesome programming skills.

IE7 may not have caught it, but Windows Live OneCare caught the java script redirector, gave me a warning message with the option to clean it up, and wouldn't let the page finish loading.

Thanks OneCare!

I'm curious now - what was the "script attack" doing? Was it just trying to redirect visitors? Was it trying to make spam-bots or use TRON-Sector to spam? Was it a data collector? Was it the MCP trying to rise up from the derezzed?

1) Why does every part of the I/O Forums have MD!MD! after it, as well as the subtitle?
2) A lot of Avatars are still missing.

I'm still cleaning up the mess. That's the truth of it. I'm using the MD! to detect and remove the offending javascript.

Ah okay.
What about the Avatars though? I used ImagsShack to host mine.

Thanks so much for fixing the site up, Auric. We all really appreciate it.

I've been through spamming stuff like this before with one of the sites that I work on, so I know how you feel.

Whoa, so the site was under attack?

Thanks for fixing it so promptly. I too, wonder what the attack was trying to gain. Just knock the site out, or something more nefarious? (I suspect the latter?)

Both Opera and NOD32 didn't give my any warnings, but then again I never waited for the pages to finish loading.

Yeah I had noticed it too over here. Don't you hate when java script pusher try and over take a system. I know I do hate that. And moving my old web site more local and more private over here.

Okay, I think I may be mentally ill, but I just had a dream last night about the revamped site. There were a lot of flash based pull down menus and everything else was the same. Please excuse me while I try to go get a life. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Has TRON-Sector EVER been revamped before? I'm going to miss it's current design.

Don't assume the look will change so drastically. Somehow the look I desgined 8 years ago seems to be timeless, and I don't intend on reinventing the look... just giving it a much needed refresh.

The functionality will see drastic improvements, and I'm sure I'll tweak the look *some*, but I think it's safe to say you'll feel at home.

The site that is my test bed is an Arcade Finder. It's the under-the-hood stuff on that site that will find it's way into the new Tron-Sector later this year.

Hmmm, that looks pretty good.

Definitely not what was in my dream. In my dream there was some flash-based pull down menu on the new topic and reply buttons. I think I've been on Tron-Sector too much, lol.
